I met a weirdo on the interwebNow, I've met lots of nice people on the internet - but it's the weird ones that stick in your mind. Such as the guy who borrowed a film off me in Cambridge and turned out to be so smelly, so hairy, so nervous and, well, so downright needy that I've never bothered getting it back.
Tell us about the strange people you've met on the internet.

not necessarily weird......but I have basically met everyone I've met since 1995 via meeting one initial person via the interweb. I'd discovered that there was a nice little utility in the uni systems which allowed one to send an instant message (1995, remember) to anyone whose matriculation number you could identify from the list on the same server as you. There were also options to send to whole labs or the entire server. I can't remember what I said but someone replied, one of my flatmates and I moved into a flat with the, and their mates for second year and subsequently met lots of people via these original new people and people met through them. A few of them must have been weird. The internet was involved.
It does count...
