I haven't been in internet chat rooms for ages. I tried them out for a while, and it was interesting, but ultimately, I'd rather chat to people with a pint in my hand, in the pub.

That said, the other day I was in a UK chat room, just long enough to see the following amusing exchange.

Chatter1: Anyone near Tooting*?
Chatter2: Well, I've just farted. Does that count?

Clearly a nation that grew up on Carry-On films.

I could write a whole humourous article on internet chat rooms. I'll do it sometime, just not now.

*This joke is possibly lost on non-British readers. Tooting is a borough of London, amongst other definitions!
