Different types of fun.
Just because you do one doesn't mean you can't do another as well.

In fact, I would venture the argument that these REAL PEOPLE of which you speak are equally as capable of being shit and dull.

WHEN, though?
i am either in the gym first thing and in work for 9 or in work for about 8. i work until about 8 and then i go out. or i am in work until about midnight, or at the gym. weekends i will usually be seeing someone for lunch and someone else in the evening, and on top of that i do shopping and other bits of admin as well as my oxford course. i'm a pretty average person, so when could i fit in playing computer games, if i were to try one?

That's not really what I'm taking exception to.
It's your apparent attitude that one is inherently inferior to another because you don't happen to see the attraction. You're a bit Monty over it.

You are NOT a pretty average person. Take from that what you will.
( Kroney, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 10:16, Reply)

no i am not saying it's inferior as such
i am just saying that it's still on a COMPUTER, at the end of the day, when you've worked on one of the bastard things all week!

I talk to idiotic people all week
why should I prefer to speak more people in the evening? It's preference, nothing more.
( Kroney, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 10:19, Reply)

if your missus and friends are idiotic
either you or they need to change
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 10:21, Reply)

No, they're not idiotic
but the people I speak to all day usually are.

The point I'm trying to make is that your argument sucks.

then you may wish to edit your post above accordingly
until it correlates at least vaguely with what you are trying to say.

*sigh* fine.
Happy now?

Clearly many people do have time to play them or they wouldnt exist
which immediately proves that your claim to be a "pretty average person" is rubbish.

As Kroney says
An average person doesn't spend 12 hours or more at work, nor do they see people every single evening.

maybe i've been living in london too long
i'm distinctly average amongst my friends and colleagues!

This is the biggest turn off to moving to London
The expectation that you work all hours. I have my work/life balance set just fine.

of course
one could NOT post on b3ta and leave at least an hour earlier.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 10:23, Reply)

But Labs, many, many people live in London and work sensible hours
but when you're spending at least two hours bouncing on your boss's cock and then a further hour fluffing the head of HR, a girl like Swipey is going to end up working longer hours than normal people.

It's not all like that!
I manage to work, work out, eat, play video games and have an active social life.

But what you're forgetting Labs
is that Swipey earns massively less than the average person, in fact, she's the least well paid person she knows, so to make up for her lack of actual money, of which we clearly have plenty, she has to settle for talking to people to pass the time.

i was here until 10pm last night
trying to identify an unregistered scrap of land on a map bigger than my office because some tool 3 years ago couldn't do his job properly.

there is not enough money in the world to make up for that, i am scarred for life.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 10:23, Reply)

If you worked harder you could have a bigger office
Therefore the map would fit.
