I started JC a long time before I got a PC, My brothers ex had a pc and when I used to visit her she always used to be on here chatting as Aimee, I just looked for a while and then had a bit of a tinker myself.
I was going through a rough time, divorced, 2 kids 2 look after, life was pretty droll to say the least, so, in 2000 and something, I bought myself a pc and logged on myself, I chatted in forum 1, the pub for years, this is where I met Wangle, Lucky, Hugh Mungus, Star, Monkey, Pikey, Catz, Swordie, (not Sword) Solid Rock, Spanish, CL, Volksie, Marty, Aaron Ade and a few others, then the Message board was introduced, never really went back after that.
I have seen people come and go, some return after a while some people just don’t leave. JC is a part of my social life, when I am home and want to have a chit chat or share something I log on, sometimes it’s a pleasure sometimes not, but that’s life. 8)
