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.

Two I wish I have really never met..I didn't, strictly speaking, meet this man over the internet, but I did used to have to help a man who had a few interpersonal problems. I helped him with PC problems (he was trying to set up a Linux cluster in a computing lab).
A strong (eye watering) smell of ammonia, which probably had something to do with the fact he only ever wore the one suit, consisting of a tweed blazer, shirt & trousers. He also suffered from an exceedingly creepy personality and scared most of the women he met.
The second one was actually a group. A friend of mine belonged to a forum of Howard Jones fans. A few of the members were flying over here for some reason, and had agreed to meet. My friend wanted to go along, and, somehow conned me into doing so..
Not really wierd as such. Boring? Well, put it this way, I spent the night in one of the Hilton hotels in London (Holborn, I think), with a group of Howard Jones fans, and I don't even like Howard Jones.
