Is it just me, or does everyone have this reaction. Whenever I see a company offering something "totally free", I always go and take, use, eat whatever it is as much as is physicall possible (and then beyond), just to put them right for being so stupid as to offer it for free.. Take for example supermarket "try one (ignore the one) trays" that they put out around supermarkets with a nice smiling woman saying.. "excuse me, would you like to try this new yoghurt drink which comes complete with these bacteria which help restore the natural bacterial levels in your stomach" ... Is it only *me* that says "oh thankyou", and them promptly empties her tray of yoghurts? Hmm... On that subject (before I swiftly switch and pretend that this never happened).. How can a yoghurt possibly "restore the natural balance of bacteria in your stomach"?? Surely the "natural balance" is what exists...?!... Hmm.. perhaps that argument doesnt work after a curry & doner kebab... Maybe we should all get together & sign up for AOL... Then during the day, set our computers up to connect to AOL *FOR FREE*... regardless of whether we're using the net or not? Then, say you want to find a useful bit of information, such as "does cliff richard come from kent" you could just walk up and "surf" rather than actually waiting to connect...? We'll show those damn AOLers.... Thinking (momentarily sanely) d'you think that making it free access will increase the proportion on the net of "AOL wankers"?... And, would it be possible to sue AOL for the distress caused by having to deal with these wankers - since they are providing the medium through which these wankers communicate... Actually, a better idea would be to organise an "AOL-meetup"... where everyone who uses AOL would go to teh AOL headquarters... that'd show them...... (oh er.. sorry Johnna... you can be excused.)
