AOL ONE OF THE BEST ISP's

[elcid123]

AOL one of the best ISP’s there is any comments?

[Percy Vere]

As you have not had any replies to this thread can I assume that it must be.

I shall be giving it a months trial as soon as 24-7freecall decides what they are doing. Then I will post my opinions.

Kind Regards
:D Percy ;)

[druid]

If you read comments posted in Usenet you might think they are the worst isp ever, but most of those comments are posted by people who don't use Aol but 'court' popularity by doing the fashionable thing, that is 'knock' Aol although in most cases they are only repeating what a friend of a friend told them and they think it makes them look 'net savvy'

If you ask people who actually use Aol (such as in this forum) then you will (most of the time) get a very different picture.

Aol are not perfect but from my point of view they are the best isp I have used to date!

John.

[Rock DJ]

i have said it once and i will say it again i have swallowed my pride on this but AOL are the best ISP i have used to date, so basically i second what druid said.

the reason why i swallow me pride is lol, cos i was one of the users the heavily dissed the software saying it buggered up me pc, when as a matter of fact my pc was incorrectly configured meaning to an inaccurate installation of the software.

Also the content on it as far as i am concerned is second to none. everything is brilliant i like it a lot every is accessible within the software and the great thing is it is hard to recieve a virus thru email with ie being instantaneous. sort of like webmail.

[elcid123]

Yes it is fashionable and in vogue to be bashing AOL, it’s just like sheep follow the flock? But then this does not just pertain to AOL – but life as a whole.
People should try and be individualists – some are born as such, renegades, outcasts, never popular. It has always been so.

Steve

[Phaedrus]

AOL are certainly the most reliable ISP I have used.I was (like many)a bit put off by their software at first, but now enjoy using it!
Connections are pretty good. All in all its the best ISP for me. I am not a big online gamer however, and it appears AOL is not so good in this regard.

[oldboy2000]

Was with Aol for over two months and liked the service.
Except the Blue Screens I kept on getting !
Help line tried everything to cure them, but with out success.
Eventually cancelled AOL membership and joined BtAnytime.
But alas the blue screens continued even after re-format of HD.
Started looking around and with trial and error found that it was McAffee Anti virus causing the problem, removed it and blue screens have vanished and have never been seen again!
Would have returned to AOL but I did not want the hassle of changing email address again, should ever Bt become unreliable Aol will be my first choice. IMHO there are only two ISP's and they are BT & AOL, both reliable and good value for money.

Dave....

[AOL]

:)

[Furby]

Although no ISP is perfect, and neither is AOL, I think that it is the best *value for money* provider going. Most of their staff are always curteous, and will do their best to sort out any problems - a good customer service is always a pleasure to see ;)

Druid, stop chatting and go and blow your stacks:D

In the interests of balance:

I don't like AOL at all (and I have tried them as some of you may remember)

Can't do ICS properly
Can't play games
Must use their software

If none of the above bother you then I can see how it would be OK

Ha Ha so you caught me! Lol
Others might wonder what you mean!
You are right of course, I should not be here, I am supposed to be stripping paint, but err indoors is busy in the kitchen so I am just having a quick browse.

I will 'blow them stacks' later I promise!

John.

[oldboy2000]

Hope she catches you sneaking onto the Computer Druid !

You are a bigger "Addict" than me ;)

[Yump]

Well I have to admit to being distinctly AOL sceptic before, but now I have used it I have to admit it works extremely well and you really can't fault their customer service - freecall line, always courteous and helpful, will even walk you through it if needs be.

I don't use their desktop and always minimise back to IE but I think my kids use it. I have never even bothered to look at AOL e-mail so I don't know what that's like. I don't play games, so that isn't an issue with me.

But I do get connected first dial-up every time and there aren't many ISP's that do that. Plus with AOL 24/7 means exactly that - if you are daft enough to use it for 24hours on-the-trot you won't get booted.

OK. I am a convert.

(only in this forum could someone called oldboy be a junior member)

Glad to see you made it over oldboy, thought you had got lost!

John.

[oldboy2000]

It makes me feel great being called a "Junior Member".

Yes Druid I'm like the proverbial "Bad Penny" I keep turning up !!

Like AOL, BtAnytime is still going great, always first time connection and no cut offs.

Regards to you all,

[druid]

Hi Daniel, Welcome to the Forum.

John.

[oldboy2000]

Great Daniel now I don't have to make the tea any more!!:D

I have been posting here for several months now, but somehow I got demoted, I think I was rude to Druid ONCE !!

The Happy Junior Member.:p

[elcid123]

Hello Daniel, a warm welcome – I too like to be a junior member.

Steve

[Daniel2001]

Thanks for the wrom welcome everyone.

[elcid123]

Hello Daniel, everyone is welcome on N4N it is a really friendly board.

[Mrsminiver]

Well, got here at last, this will take a bit of getting used to.Nice to see some familiar names here. Am a confirmed AOLer now, I can depend on it and their helpline is free and the people who answer are SO nice.:)

[Mrsminiver]

OOOer, I have become a junior member, didn,t really want to reach my second childhood quite so early. Oh well as Queen say in Those were the Days, ( or is it (These are the Days) I will just 'sit back and go with the flow':)

[oldboy2000]

Welcome to the Juniors Club Mrs Miniver..

Made me feel great when I saw it under my name !!:D

Now I've forgotten all about "The Good Old Days" ;)

[druid]

Welcome home mrs M

John.

[elcid123]

A big hello mrs m, now this board is really coming together, I was only thinking yesterday were is mrs m. don’t you think the board is much improved better than the old? Well of out now the orb of RA has made an appearance.
Catcha ya latter alligator

[Daniel2001]

This board is a lot better then the old one.

[mark jonson]

I'm back!....looks like i'm the new "junior member" now! :D

I have used AOL since January now and i wouldn't change to another isp unless AOL changed the terms of the unmetered access or increased the price a lot!
Like the new look forums by the way ;)

[druid]

Welcome to the new board Mark.

John

[oldboy2000]

Look out I'm the spy from BtAnytime !

Well somebody has to do it and report back to HQ:cool:

Psst....AOl is pretty good Too !:p

Dave
Well they Keep Calling me Junior!

[Mrsminiver]

Thanx for welcome, I am getting used to this new board, must admit I didn,t much like it at first. Right that's it, just had a couple of brilliant chess-games on Yahoo, so going to have a drink and then bed. :o See you all again.

[elcid123]

Your welcome here anytime Dave, spy from Bt. Or not anyway I thought that was 007 or myself? Or Harry Lime. The spy that came in from the cold – must be joking it’s in the 70’s here and I’m going to take a gorgeous young lady out for the evening…..Then latter Hmmm can’t wait.

[neonboy2k]

true, i do have to admit that if someone needs computer help, there is nothing better than a freephone number, rather than the typical 0898 ones ;) .....

What i dont agree with, cant remember if this is the right thread or not, but what the hell ;) .... is that AOL is good for people who want to use the "information superhighway" .. if you actually want to use the internet, than AOL is not for you. As you see many people "slagging" off aol, this is usually because they are tech-savvy and expect more from an ISP, ( i Use demon when i want to actually do something apart from browsing). That is it basically, if you want to browse at off-peak times, than AOL is your choice. However, if you do not need technical service and need a little more from your ISP, i.e nearyl everything apart from "chat rooms" and "browsing" .. then choose a proper ISP.

</rant>

.neon.

[Pamela]

Hi Oldboy and Mrs Miniver

You dont know me but you are among the nice people on AOL who have had me rolling on the floor with laughter at times.. Keep up the good humour.

Where have the others gone? I came on here for technical help and found I had more laughs than for ages



Pam

[druid]

No disrespect Neon, but I 'don’t know' what you are on about, Aol is a proper isp and I can do anything whilst connected to Aol that I do or did with other isp's, the only difference is that I can do it anytime for as long as I like without fear of running up a huge tel bill! I also don't understand why you say, "browse at off-peak times" Aol is ok any time!

Best regards John.

Dave


Dave I reckon you are still carrying a candle for Aol, you really wish you were still with us, instead of that band of ruffians over at BT :)
Incidentally I see that the top man at BT may get a £3,000,000 bonus, a bit 'rich' IMHO considering the huge debt BT has and the fact that the shareholders are being denied a dividend, still suppose you are helping pay his £3,000,000 Oldboy :)

John.

[elcid123]

I too don’t know what on earth you’re talking about either? AOL can do anything that all the ISP’s that I have been with can do, and that’s quite a few. Indeed quote : “if you actually want to use the internet, than AOL is not for you.” “expect more from an ISP” - what more? “whi Use demon en i want to actually do something apart from browsing).” “if you want to browse at off-peak times, than AOL is your choice. choose a proper ISP” end quote.
I’ve read some criticisms of ISP’s in my time, but I think this one deserves an award.
What were you on NeonBoy – whatever it was, make mine a double!

PS hello Pam

[elcid123]

I think Dave is still holding a candle for AOL too, could be Connie remembering over on the old board! I think the truth is out now Dave you rascal.

[eggyeaster55]

Hi all,i'm now on my 6th week with aol initially had lots of problems with difficult connections like 45minutes on occasions also some disconnections after 5 minutes. It seems my modem wasn't up for the job and after advise from John druid2uk a change of modem driver was required.Things now seem settled i'm glad to say. Keep up the good work with help and advise i visit n4n frequently and have done since last october(the beginning of the connect25 fiasco remember that oldboy?
Mark

[oldboy2000]

So I've been sussed out having this secret affair with Connie, please don't tell her I'm with BtAnytime.

Wished she would change her dress sometimes, never mind she is gorgeous what ever she isn't wearing :)

Dave
"The Rascal from BtAnytime!! ;)

[CANING IT]

I've been with AOL about 4 months now (the FRIACO package) and have had very few problems.

I do get random cutoffs from time to time, but I just dial in again.

When I first started using AOL I had to set ZoneAlarm to medium and couldn't retrieve e-mails using POP3 access, but now I can surf with ZoneAlarm on maximum and retrieve e-mails (only on the first dial up number (?) though). I don't know why though, but I'm not complaining.

Speeds are good for me, but not as fast as Freeserve Anytime.

[Mrsminiver]

Thank-you Pamela for the compliment to myself and OldBoy. Sorry I've been a while answering, but couldn't remember where I had posted :confused:

My innate sense of humour comes to the fore at the most unexpected times, which is great, cos it means even on the rare occasions I feel a bit down, I can ususally find something to smile about.(like now for instance, think I have spelt occasions wrong, can never remember if it is one s or two and am too lazy to find our) :lol

Anyway, welcome to the board, always nice to meet new people.

[druid]

Hello Mark (eggy), Glad you made it to the new forum and I am 'chuffed' that you are finding Aol a little better.

Dave (oldboy) you lost any rights to Connie when you left Aol for BTi, She is mine now! I saw a photo of her in the papers, without her Aol clothes on (no don't get exited Dave, she had other clothes on) and I thought she was a very attractive 'bird'.

Canning it, Yes it is odd about Zone alarm, sometimes it works fine on the high settings but occasionally I have to start Aol with ZA set at Medium, I can then change it back to High after connecting, I will say however that I have found that the latest version (ver 2.6) seems much better and always works on the high setting.

John

[oldboy2000]

Ah Druid, but Connie does not know I have defected to Bti :lol

And unless somebody "grasses" on me I'll be allright, well until "her indoors" finds out :lol

Dave
The Bti Rascal :smokin

[druid]

Connie knows alright, she even announced your leaving them on her TV advert, I think she may have had a teardrop in her eye.

John

[druid]

On second thoughts you may have upset her, because at the time you left you said a few 'cruel' things about Aol. :)

John

[Phaedrus]

Oldboy2000, Glad you`re here. Always enjoy your posts.
Perhaps someone will send you the sounds of Connie saying "you have e-mail" & "Goodbye", so you can add them to your Outlook Express inbox etc.
Or would that be too painful to hear?
I think you`ll be back with us AOLers again ;)
Connie will still be here....Waiting :)

[oldboy2000]

I honestly think that AOL is a Good ISP and would still have been a member if I had found out sooner that it was McAfee Anti Virus that was wrecking my system and NOT AOL as I thought.
Just cannot change my email address yet again, and as I think BtAnytime is on a par with AOL for service, I'm quite happy with just seeing Connie on the side.;)

And of course enjoying all your posts on this AOL board :)

[druid]

Like Phaerus, I too think you will be back to Aol eventually Dave, or perhaps we all ought to leave and join you at BTanytime :-)
John

[oldboy2000]

I don't mind sharing BtAnytime with you Druid, but I'm not sharing Connie:p

Dave...:smokin

[druid]

Too late Oldboy, I have had a word with Connie and she has deserted you for a younger and more handsome 'fella' ME, :) :)

John

[neonboy2k]

Sorry to dissapoint you all, but as far as i've heard, Connie is AOL-UK MD's girlfriend. That's the only reason a girl that annoying could possibly be in the advert ;)

.neon.

[oldboy2000]

Shame on you Druid, taking away an Oldboys only pleasure left !

Sounds like you have no competition from Neonboy.

Hope you can stand the pace Druid, looks don't count to Connie , it's stamina she is interested in .:p

[druid]

Are you still up oldboy, I thought it was way past your bedtime; you old-uns need your sleep, Lol.

Don't worry about Neon, he is too young to appreciate a lovely lady, Lol
John

[oldboy2000]

Been good today Druid so I'm allowed to stay up later.

Usually have to go to bed straight after "The Archers"

Dave...;)

[druid]

So most days you are a naughty boy then oldboy, I hope your missus has got a whip. :)

John

[druid]

Yeah we know it is her voice, but we are 'drooling' over Connie, Lol

John.

[oldboy2000]

As long as it not Anne Robinson I don't care.

"GOODBYE"

:smokin

[druid]

Dave, I can't stand 'that' woman, don't even mention her name, she makes me 'cringe'

John

[oldboy2000]

"ANN ROBINSON"

Now have another cringe Druid :lol

[Phaedrus]

I`m with you again Druid!
To mention Ann thingy in the same thread as our Connie is just not on! :mad:

And yes Daniel I did know that the voice is Joanna Lumly & and the face is Rachel Willis, but its all Connie to me!!! :lol

[neonboy2k]

too young to appreciate a lovely lady? ;) Where did you get that idea from? Besides, i dont think my girl would take kindly to that either... lol..


.neon. (don't let the "-boy" fool you)

[Daniel2001]

well my uncle said it when she put the welsh in room 101.

[elcid123]

My god who mentioned Ann Robinson? What’s this thread coming to? Next thing it’ll be the knickers fetish again!
Mind you would you believe quite a lot fancy Ann Robinson? It must be sado-masochism, I think many are young lads wanting to be dominated and get their pants pulled down in anticipation of a nicely reddened bum!!!

Just been having a look at Nigella Lawson and even though my predilection is for blondes I think I could make an exception in her case. What a woman – and she can cook as well! She can cook my bacon and eggs any day of the week . . . or night of the week for that matter.

I rather think she has more than a passing resemblance to Sarah (Furby). Furby, if you are reading this, it’s meant in the best possible taste. As you know I am a gentleman.

Hey fellas hear this Johns saying he’s the only one that has seen Connie in the nude “I appear to be the only one to have seen her without her AOL clothes on!” its becoming more salacious by the day, I’m off to take a extremely cold shower.

[Phaedrus]

Well elcid, I too have seen Connie in her shreddies! :p
I won`t post the link. Its not that naughty, but the sponsors are a bit dubious!
I`m sure if you put Connie (Rachel Willis) into a search engine you`ll find the site.
Don`t tell Oldboy she`s wearing suspenders!;)

[druid]

Hey, it's me who has the suspenders fetish, not oldboy, he is too old for that sort of thing, he has forgotten what it's all about, Lol.
I dunno I leave the forum for a few hours and 'you lot' get out of control, we will be shall be delegated to the naughty nuns forum at this rate! Lol
Why did you mention suspenders? Now I will have to go and have a cold bath!

John.

p.s. I have removed the url I posted here as it had some unfortunate 'side effects' John.

[elcid123]

This thread is becoming more raucous by the hour, Phaedrus, John, the way this is going we’re all going to be moderated and edited I might have too delete the thread myself…. Wait till Dave sees the link oh lord what are you trying to do to him? Err and me! Know how much cold water has been over me tonight, more than Niagara Falls ooohhh wee and know I see this link – I was reticent about finding the link myself and for that reason. What on earth will Sarah have to say! It’ll be bromide in my tea and medication for Dave. You see I have the ycc chromosome (I am extremely rampant).
We’re going to be putting off the ladies from posting here, Lol. Cold water and more tranquillisers for me tonight.

[oldboy2000]

Druid, you naughty boy,

I'll never be the same again !!;) :eek:

[druid]

I aim to please oldboy!

John.

[oldboy2000]

Glad to hear Druid that you don't mind being of service to this BTi Spy who keeps popping onto the AOL Board !:smokin

Seems quiet on AOL at the moment, are they still running ? only nobody seems to be complaining :lol

Dave:p

[Daniel2001]

Hi AOL are still running very smoothly infact.

[Phaedrus]

Hi Oldboy,
If no one`s complaining here, it usually means everythings ok. :)
That`s not a returning customer enquiry is it Dave ?
Now that you`ve seen Connie in a different light are you preparing for yet another change of e-mail address. :lol

Have you still got your AOL disc ? ;)


Trev.

[elcid123]

It is a good sign when people are not complaining, it indicates that things are indeed running smoothly it's when the complaining starts then we know people are not happy and dissatisfied with the service.

[druid]

I am still surprised at how good Aol are, I have been with them now for five months, Contrary to what some people suggest I can always connect and do not get cut-off, after other so-called unmetered isp's I have used it seems too good to be true, but it is true, "it does exactly what it says on the can" I am a satisfied Aol customer.

John

[Daniel2001]

a few numbers are engaged tonight even the 1634 numbers
but i found one that is free and not enaged.

[oldboy2000]

How many Disks would you like, lost count of how many I have, they even offered special rates off peak etc ......they keep writing to me asking me to return, but I'm still seeing Connie on the side so I'm ok at the moment !!

;)

And Bti are paying me well to spy in here ;) :lol

Dave....

[druid]

but I'm still seeing Connie on the side so I'm ok at the moment !!
I'm seeimg Connie from the front, much better!

John.

[oldboy2000]

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Druid is stealing my bit on the side.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[druid]

You are up late tonight oldboy, BTW did you notice that I have been promoted? I am now a senior, Lol

[Daniel2001]

Connie is mine:)

[druid]

No she 'ain't' I was here before you, Lol

John.

[Daniel2001]

connie told me she has dumped you for me:)

[druid]

She was probably referring to oldboy.:)

John

[Daniel2001]

No i heard her say druid2uk

[druid]

She just calls me The Druid! Lol

[elcid123]

Now lads, let's stop this falling out over Connie, she's spoken for so to speak; by none other but my self and especially after seeing those pictures I was tossing and turning all last night then there were those dreams! I’ve invited her over here but she tells me that's she is rather busy with engagements etc, she has however assured me that she will drop in.
So I'll leave you in anticipation until then.

[druid]

I’ve invited her over here but she tells me that's she is rather busy with engagements etc

Why do you think she is busy? She is spending time with me in my temple! Lol

John

[oldboy2000]

Forgive me Druid but I believe the temple is on the front of ones head, so therefor she is all in your mind.

She told me she prefers the older man, they are more experienced;)

Don't worry lads your turn will come:p

[elcid123]

Oldboy and Druid, Hate to tell you this, but Connie has decided that I am a more important entry in her diary than previous engagements. Even as I write, she is winging her way to me and I am ready to welcome her into my arms. The champagne is on ice, red roses tied up in a silk ribbon ready to give to her and a wonderful treat is sizzling away on my hotplate. Not only that, but I am here! Tall, dark, handsome and eager - and not without experience!!!

I will cook her chips like no one has ever done before.

Have to agree with Dave - Druid it is all in your mind.

And Dave - think it's time you got back to the Archers . . . let someone of undoubted good looks, charm and charisma take over . . . ME. Be fair on Connie both of you, you can't blame her for dumping you two for The Cid!!!

[druid]

You have been reading to many comics again Cid Lol

John.

[Daniel2001]

anyway Connie is just an actress for AOL so she is not real.

[elcid123]

“Connie is just a actress and is therefore not real” I think you'll find Daniel that actresses are real?!! But perhaps somewhat removed from the general populace. Comics, I never read them these days!

I have no need to read about adventures with wonderful women – I live these adventures every day of my life.

How say you Druid?

[oldboy2000]

So it would appear Connie is Two Timeing me, how can she be taken in by you two vagabonds.:evil

Me thinks it's time for me to give her the "Big E" and settle for "ET" well ET's mum, on Bt :mad:

:smokin :smokin :smokin :smokin :smokin :smokin :smokin

[Daniel2001]

I think i will settle for joanna lumley

[Adrian]

Hello Chaps

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I've been away with Connie to St Tropez for a couple of weeks.

Haven't got the the time to trawl through 7 pages of posts, so tell me, what's this thread about, anyway?

Adrian

[elcid123]

The meaning of life and the reason for the universe and Connie

[druid]

I think we should all share Connie, but I 'bags' her first, after all that 'randy' bloke in USA has got five wives, I am surprised that he didn't have seven, one for each day of the week, I know I would. Lol

John

[Mrsminiver]

Haven't been in here for a while, and I must say I am shocked, appalled, yay Horrified at the way this topic has degenerated into grown-men fantising about Connie. I forced myself to read all seven pages and felt quite ill by the end.

I would protest more, but I have Daniel Day Lewis upstairs, resting on the bed, he still has that long hair from when he was in 'The Last of the Mohicans' and the weight of the hair has given the poor darling a head-ache. So, I must apply some gentle adminstrations in the expert way only a mature wordly-wise woman can! :evil

How can you write such things, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, I am surprised that your post has not been censored! Lol, Anyway that blokes a big 'pansy' not like us 'real' hard men that post here.:)

John.

[Mrsminiver]

So shocked, horrified etc, I can't spell fantasizing now.:D

[Mrsminiver]

LOL John, seems we were both at it at more or less the same time, posting on here of course.;)

[druid]

we were both at it at more or less the same time

Lol, you will really start the tongues wagging! Don't tell 'em' our little secrets, Lol

John.

[oldboy2000]

So you are two timeing Connie :lol

What will AOL say when they find out.....

Shame on you Druid:p

[elcid123]

Hello Mrs M, I do so apologise for the behaviour of this lot! You know that it is quite unlike me to indulge in crass banality? However per chance to dream, to fantasise! However we both have full grasp on reality, and I now think with your return Connie has been eclipsed. She is too young and inexperienced to compete with a mature woman such as you and of course Sarah. Well boys will be boys as the saying goes; of course there are still some real men around here.

[Mrsminiver]

LOL Steve, you smooth-talking charmer :D

Seeing I am outnumbered here, I shall do a tactful withdrawal (if you will pardon the expression) and leave you chaps to fight it out over Connie.:rolleyes: "Hold on a minute Daniel,logging off now"

[druid]

Hey wait minute ladies, you re-read the Cid's message, he is suggesting that you are 'mature' compared to young Connie! I think he is insulting you with his 'smarmy' talk, I wouldn't dream of saying such a thing to such young ladies as yourselves, Lol

Sorry I have been absent today, I have been out cycling all day total distance 70 hilly miles, us real men can do that eat your heart out Cid, Lol

John.

[oldboy2000]

Only 70 miles Druid, try pedalling :lol

I used to do at least 100 miles on the Sunday Club Run !

Be lucky if I could do 5 miles now :lol :lol :lol

Dave....

PS: Connie must be sapping your strength Druid:p

[druid]

Only 70 miles Druid, try pedalling

Ah but it was 70 Hilly miles Dave, have you tried cycling in the Cotswolds, a hill around every corner!

Were you in the CTC?

Know exactly what you mean by a hill around every corner ! No I never belonged to the CTC but was a member of the YHA which I used a lot, especially when I rode to Scotland and back from London.
I belonged to a club called Zeus R.C. a racing club. All our racing in those days was on Old disused Aerodromes, with Time Trials in the very early mornings on the roads, had to get up too early for those !
Two serious crashes whilst training finished me off as far as cycling went, and never rode again after the last one.
Must admit the roads had far less Motors on them in my day, don't think I would like to ride these days with all these Road Rage Motorists about.

Dave...

[druid]

Yes Dave, we do encounter Road Rage quite often, we do not get 'bullied' so much in a large group as much as we do when there are only a few, things we have to endure are, drivers deliberately driving alongside as close as possible to us, drinks cans thrown from car windows and people shouting abuse as they go by (mostly young men and women with several in a car), last week two of our members were knocked off there cycles by an irate taxi driver (he cut in deliberately for no reason other than he dislikes cyclists).
It is strange that we are told cycling is environment friendly and healthy, yet deep down a large amount of motorists still hate cyclists.
If a motorist behaves badly in his car, then he is called a maniac or lout, any cyclist behaving badly is a damned cyclist!

[smallethic]

In the words of the song 'Oh, didn't he ramble'. Time to close the bar, and the forum. AOL is AOK. Nothing more to say.

[druid]

? would you be more explicit!

John.

[oldboy2000]

Couldn't understand Smallethic either Druid....

Perhaps all will be revealed !:confused:

Dave....

[smallethic]

In the words of another song

"What is there to say? And what is there to do? The dream I've been seeking has practically speaking come true"

AOL has cracked it. Why keep on cackling?

[oldboy2000]

If you don't like our posts Smallethic why bother to read them !

In the words of Ann Robinson...."Goodbye"

Still :confused:

[elcid123]

Hello John, Dave, I'm sure smallethic meant no offence did you smallethic, I See there has been a shift in topic to physical activity and exercise. Years ago I used to be a power lifter amongst other athletic pursuits but cycling was not one of them, the stamina and energy required for cycling is taxing indeed and that is not taking into account the prolific rate of dehydration. I have a friend who years ago used to cycle quite a lot but these days he is too old or at least that is what he tells me, I think that he has simply lost interest. Because no matter how old you are you are always capable of at least a modicum of physical activity.
It is pertinent these days to note that children are not very fit there is simply too many indolent distractions, such as what I am sitting in front of now-but later I will be taking my wife out and the dogs for a long walk.

[Pamela]

Hi there guys.


You guys just keep on rambling lol. Small whatu ma callout doesnt have to read them as you say.

Pity us ladies havent got the male equivalent of Connie !!!! :(

Pam

[elcid123]

Indeed you have Pam, it is myself unfortunately I cannot place a photograph of myself. It is good to see you here again and that invitation is extended to all Ladies.

[druid]

Pity us ladies havent got the male equivalent of Connie !!!!

I just knew the Cid would get 'one' in before me, I was thinking of offering myself but I cannot compete with the overwhelming charm and whit of the Cid!

I am so sorry if I have rambled on a bit, unfortunately it is a habit of mine; my missus is always telling me to 'shut it'.
I don't think it is out of order to comment on things other than the subject heading in the forums, after all we are talking to each other and when you talk face to face the subject tends to deviate just the same as it does here, by bringing my cycling into the thread I was just trying to be friendly, I think it is nice to know the hobbies and activities of people here (no not that sort of activity Oldboy!)
See now I have rambled on again! That Smallethic has a lot to answer for Lol.

John "just a ramblin on"

[elcid123]

Hello John, usually you beat me to the post - I could not agree with you more with regard to changing topics and subjects. Let us all feel free to ramble on as much as we please and on whatever subject we please. As you say Druid, it is life itself! How rigid, constrained and stuffy a web site would be if we were to remain steadfastly on a topic. I come here to talk and yes, conversation does tend to switch from one thing to another. How very boring it would be if it didn’t. I love to hear about other people, what interests them, what hobbies they have and what makes them ‘tick’.

But Lo!! I may be wrong . . . perhaps we should all say the same thing and satisfy those who would like to be ‘Big Brother’ symbols.

That’s another thing I like, (changing topic yet again) - ‘1984’, the novel, and then a good film, was a prophetic insight into human nature and Psyche, and what about the film Nosferato.

Daniel....I purposely did not include the weakest link part of it as I did not want to appear rude.

I've been the weakest link all my life, but it ain't half been fun :lol

Dave...:smokin

I said that as a joke I hope no one takes offence.

[oldboy2000]

Don't worry Daniel....No offence taken mate.

oh good the last thing i want is to upset someone on this forum.

[elcid123]

Daniel you have not offended anyone or upset anyone in this forum, we are a happy gang of folks here talking about anything we want to and rambling on-we do of course address matters which concern AOL and Endeavour to help if we can. There is one that considers talking about I S P’s to be an intellectual pursuit on Site complaints and suggestions? And idle banter and gossip to be nonsense and infantile, I am of a different opinion.
It is interesting the more we learn about one another, Our interests, hobbies and nagging wives Lol-the more we enrich our own being and become less insular, a more rounded and balanced human being.
I think that is the last Moroccan woodbine for me tonight.

Goodnight sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite

Pam [/B][/QUOTE]

You've read the other offers, now try the best ! Must be I was born in Portsmouth !

Beware of them Pam they stole Connie from me :mad:

I am the Spy

From Bti

Dave....

;)

[druid]

You've read the other offers, now try the best

Well when you find him oldboy you had better inform the ladies! Lol

John.

[oldboy2000]

My goodness Druid, you are allowed on the computer this early in the day.

Doesn't "her in doors" have any jobs for you to do :lol

Suppose you've been out with Connie all night :mad:

Dave...

[Pamela]

Hi Old boy..

Yes they are really leading poor old Connie on arent they:lol


I wouldnt trust them as far as I could throw them !!!. Perhaps Connie will have the last laugh and dump them :lol


It is lovely and sunny in Pompey today Oldboy !!

Pam

[elcid123]

As founder member and President of the Rambling Association, I would like to say that you all make me proud. I thought I was Rambler in Chief, but you all put me to shame!

By the way Pam, you seem to be getting rather too friendly with Oldboy - watch that man!! He has tricks up his sleeve that you would never dream of. He has led Connie a merry dance and I know that she has become emotionally unbalanced since she met up with Oldboy - Be careful Pam, that's all I'm saying.

Druid, Oldboy mentioned that you had been out on the tiles with Connie? Take no notice. He is only trying to distract people from his own nefarious activities and put the blame on your doorstep.
I'm not one to stir the you know what - but it has been mentioned in Rambling Circles that he has been seen out with you know who on more than one occasion. He rather gave the game away however as he kept telling everyone 'No, I'm not Oldboy, you are mistaken, I am Druid (spelt D R U I D)'. How transparent can you get??? Lol

As Connie often says to me when we are getting amorous - 'Ive tried the rest, now I'll have the best' . . . She told me that she always saves the best till last and has confirmed to me both verbally and in writing that she will look no further!!

Eat your hearts out poor mortals.
Well it has been a lovely day here in Cheshire also, so will be out for the evening with………

[AOLConnie]

Have i been found out? i don't mean to say so many different things to you lovely guys, but it is just i like you all :o :o :o :o :o

my i like this thread, aol one of the best isps,:D

durid, i will see you later, and elcid, i will see you after that :smokin

got to get back to those adverts now and change into my aol dress ;)

keep your internet connections warm for me guys :lol
xxxxxxx

[Daniel2001]

AOLConnie sorry to seem rude but are you the real AOLConnie?

[elcid123]

Of course she is Daniel, what's this Connie you will see Druid first then Elcid later? Am I the Cid second best now! I have brought you here and this is how you repay me? What of the e-mails and telephone calls? And not forgetting our rendezvous. If you are not careful I will be considering terminating your contract, contact me today to discuss the matter further.

[Adrian]

What do expect, living in Cheshire?
She's not going to set foot in Scouse Land if she doesn't have to. Not when she come to Yorkshire for half the distance and twice the quality. Anyway, it's no good wittering on at her from afar, Steve she's too busy making my tea.

Adrian

[oldboy2000]

You guys are talking rubbish.....she is staying down here with me in London, well, we know how to treat a lady down here !:p

[elcid123]

Adrian, Cheshire is not Scouse land it is outside the boundaries of Merseyside. Anyway what are you having for your tea? Watch out for when she makes an excuse and leaves you'll then know that she is coming down here to sunny Cheshire.
What's this Dave? Southern hospitality is the best, I know a lot of people down past Watford and yes I've got to agree-but I think we northerners just have the edge the secret is the water we drink here and all the sunshine we get, it's like the Mediterranean in climate.
I think she'll be making an appearance later here, after she has had a wonderful evening in the glorious sunshine with yours truly.

[druid]

I suppose 'you lot' have been wondering why I have been absent these last few days, well the truth is it is all due to Connie, she asked me if I would pop down to her place to fix her washing machine and being the gentleman I am I could hardly refuse now could I, unfortunately when I got there she had other plans for me! When I protested that I had to get back to the missus I was restrained, (I won't describe how, as I don't want to excite Oldboy too much, it is bad for his 'ticker') suffice to say I struggled to escape but to no avail and I have been held in her residence against my will for the last couple of days.
Before I left she told me that several of you blokes in the Aol forum had been trying to get off with her but she only wanted a real man and that was me!

John.

[oldboy2000]

She told me the same thing last week. She did say when she was tying my hands and feet to the bed posts, that she would not do this sort of thing to any one from BtAnytime, they would be really tortured, I will not go into the details, but sure hope she never finds out that I'm a Spy from BtAnytime.:eek:

Dave
The Secret Spy from BtAnytime:smokin

[Daniel2001]

i will tell connie when i see her

[oldboy2000]

Just remember Daniel that Connie is mine !

She will not have a bad word said about me, well after all she tried Druid and her washing machine still does not work !

Thank you Daniel for the report, I will send it straight to BtAntime HQ;)

Dave
BtAnytime Spy:smokin

[druid]

The Secret Spy from BtAnytime

It ain't very secret Oldboy!! You told us! Lol

John.

[oldboy2000]

I'm sure I can rely on you John to keep a secret :lol

If not I will have to arrange for the BT Secret Police to pay you a visit

Dave :smokin

[AOLConnie]

My machine is now fixed thanks to the large gentle hands of you wonderful young and oldboys ;)

the thing is i really like all of you so much so can you not all share me please :)

i would miss any of you if i didn't see you, you all have endearing qualities that i simply cannot let go. i love your massages oldboy, daniel, you are young and 'fresh' as they say, and the CID, what can i say, you are very experienced in the field of how to satisfy a woman :evil

this aol dress is getting a bit worn now, can any of you lend me some money to buy a new one so that i am covered up? or would you want my aolbits to be seen by all :lol

will be back later, as arnold says, and CID don't forget this evening, i shall be at the restaurant by 9 ;)

[oldboy2000]

What have you got that we haven't got CID ?

:mad:

Dave

[elcid123]

Connie, how wonderful to see you in print yet again. I'm so pleased that your vibes and mine match up so well. We are truly a match made in heaven. If I press all the right switches as far as you are concerned then I am truly a happy man!

My mouse is twitching-Going haywire even- you do such terrible things to my system. But I can't resist your love bytes.

I would love to lend you some money to buy a dress to cover your bits.
Unfortunately I am cash starved at the moment (although not love starved, thanks to you). See if you can persuade Oldboy to parts with some of his dosh. I hear he's loaded! I am loaded in other ways-and when you have that sort of currency you don't need cash-As we both know.

I don't mind you throwing yourself at his feet for cash, as long as you throw yourself in to my arms after you've got what you want.

Can't wait till 9:00pm. And, by the way, keep this message a secret. I don't want anyone to share our dreams...

[Adrian]

Hello Steve.

What a drag it must be to have to clear out all your cookies so that you can log in as Connie. Not so much Connie as Con 'em eh?

Nice try..........

As for you, Oldboy, I think you should calm down before your bath chair spontaneously combusts.

John. You're in dreamland, fella!

I challenge any one of you to accurately describe where Connie's birthmark is. If any of you are correct, I will give her up and (reluctantly) hand her over to you.

Adrian

[Adrian]

And another thing:

Did you know that whenever you log on, and Connie speaks, she's actually saying:

"Welcome to "A" (that's me, folks) oh hell..." Why does she say "Oh hell?" Because she knows that she's in for yet another serious, sleepless night, courtesy of yours truly.

Adrian

[druid]

Well AOLCONNIE I am all upset now! you didn't even mention me in your last message, I suppose this must mean we are through, I won't shed any tears though, I am a big strong chap and you will soon be begging me to come back.


John.

[elcid123]

Ah that's where your wrong Adrian, Connie and myself are too different people. I knew someone would probably come to that supposition and conclusion but hands up its not me.
I can tell you where her birthmark is; but being a gentleman and observing protocol, proprietary, and social etiquette I can't possibly reveal such an intimate delicacy, but I can tell you one thing she doesn't have one.

[Adrian]

You haven't looked in the right place, Steve!

Adrian

[oldboy2000]

Steve took his Glasses off Adrian:lol

I didn't bother to look for her birthmark, and I won't bother tonight either :lol

Dave
:smokin

[elcid123]

Well this birthmark thing is quite perplexing! I have made a complete examination and found nothing? Including the erogenous zones, which I examined in minute detail. It took me about four hours. Connie was screaming with pleasure. I'll give her another going over tonight, purely for the benefit of you chaps you understand.

[oldboy2000]

ElCid certainly sounds like the proverbial "Dirty Old Man";)

Glad I'm with BtAnytime now, where we have a much higher class of members :lol

He's telling "Porky Pies" anyway, because Connie is with me tonight and she is with Druid tomorrow morning.;)

Dave.:smokin ;)

[elcid123]

She needs two of you to equal just one of me.

[oldboy2000]

Variety is the spice of life is what Connie told me.

She did say ElCid is alright, BUT, he is very much over weight, which rather slows him down a bit and he gets out of breath so quickly.
She said he would never make a good "Heavy Breather"

Dave :smokin

[druid]

she is with Druid tomorrow morning

Wish that were true oldboy but Sunday is my cycling club day so I have told Connie she will have to be patient and wait until Monday!

John.

[oldboy2000]

Don't worry Druid, Connie rides a bike, so there will no problem in the morning.
WOW imagine Connie in shorts on a bike :p

Quick, where's my calming down pills ?

Dave...:smokin

[druid]

WOW imagine Connie in shorts on a bike

You want to see me in shorts on my bike, Hairy legs! Lol

BTW, where have all the ladies gone, have we scared them off?

John

[elcid123]

No thanks John, I don't want to see your hairy legs but the sight of Connie riding a bike is a sight to behold I can tell you, with the sweat shimmering on her legs and arms and her pert curvaceous breasts heaving with the undulating motion of the bike. And her hair gently caressed by the wind..... I bet you wished you had a tandem?
Anyway I hope the weather is fine for you, think I will have a ride myself. Whatever gave you the impression and preconception that I was overweight? I am all muscle, exercising with Connie amongst other things keeps me in perfect shape.
Where have the Ladies' gone? Mrs M, Sarah, Pam, to name but three! I am the quintessential English gentleman: indeed the epitome of manners and proprietary; I am sure that they must be aware of this

[druid]

As it happens we do have a tandem! And Cid it was not me who implied that you were 'a little on the large side' it was that 'cad' Oldboy!
Typical, after a week of nice sunny weather it had to rain this morning for our ride, although later on it became very 'muggy' we managed 65 miles today most of it uphill!

John.

[elcid123]

I had a very good idea that it was oldboy alias Harry Lime, who implied that I was corpulent, I just knew it was going to rain this morning but it did abate this afternoon and in its wake humidity. 65 miles and uphill that's a fair bit of exercise and with relative humidity of 75 per cent you would require six to eight pints of liquid to replenish this loss.
A tandem is a very rare piece of apparatus these days, what you need is Connie sitting on the front saddle then you will truly have a sight to behold, a veritable nymph indeed.
