My First Experience of the Internet
We remember when this was all fields, and lived a furtive life of dial-up modems and dodgy newsgroups. Tell us about how you came to love the internets.

Here in Mordor we have an "alternative" radio station called Xfm (it's not, it's just the latest guitar pop but anyway that's irrelevant)
They used to have a couple of morning DJs called Pete and Geoff, who were actually genuinely quite listenable and not annoying.
They used to play a game in the morning called "What's your dog called", in which the owners 'phoned in, and they'd ask them about their dog.
"So - what's your name?"
"My name's Sue."
"OK, Sue - so - what sort of dog is it?"
"A Heinz 57"
"OK ... and ... what sex is it?"
"Male."
"OK - and ... how old is your dog?"
"He's five."
"OK - a five-year-old Heinz 57 ... OK ... and ... is he a good boy?"
"'EES A GOOD BOY!"
"OK, Sue, so .... What's your dog called?!"
"He's called Steve!"
YAY! STEVE! STEVE THE DOG! *bells, whistles, applause, hammond organ*
You didn't win anything or get any tickets or anything.
It was the best radio game ever.

Pete and Geoff used to be on Virgin 1215
They were very funny if memory serves.
There was a late-night DJ on there called Tim who eventually got fired because he had children ring up to play Swearing Hangman. Possibly my favourite part of his show was French Oral, where couples would ring up and one of them had to answer questions about France while the other one performed oral sex. It seems it's quite hard to keep your mind focused on the minutiae of French life in those circumstances.

That's right - I think they went to Virgin from Xfm.
French oral sounds marvellous.

You know how to prove this?
Lock your dog and your wife in the boot of your car. After a couple of hours, open the boot and see which one is pleased to see you...
