My OH is not in the slightest bit interested in going on forums, in fact he does not go on the computer. There again, he never has the chance with me around!! Sometimes I find myself chatting to him about something on here, or my horse forum, but he just cannot see the attraction.
I have even brought up the website of his favourite band, Status Quo, but even that did not inspire him!!
-
No, but my OH has his own forums. We met in a chat room linked to a F1 forum, where we both still post. Than he also posts on a Dr Who forum (avidly) plus he's probably a member of a few others as well. We sit on the sofa together in the evenings tapping away on our laptops. Sometimes we even talk to each other as well!
Forums have great uses, I knew someone who after she split up with her ex, using forums was her way of getting to talk with other adults without needing a babysitter.

Rick is probably quite happy - he can have the remote for the telly while I am on here.
-

-
My better half is not worried about me chatting on here, she knows Im doing research for the new smallholding plus she gets to watch emmerdale ;D
-
No he's at work. ;D
-
I multitask usualy, I sit with the laptop on the coffee table or in front of me facing the TV, so I watch programmes as well, mind you my OH thinks I spend all day on here ::)
-
Since my ancient old laptop broke and I have to share the pc with hubby he does moan a bit - but only cos it stop's him playing on-line poker ::)
But when he's out working it's my life line lol! Link to the outside world and adult conversation - don't know how I'd live without my broadband ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
Kath isnt interested in computers but she enjoys what we all say to one another and some of the things we have done .D M I stop playin on ere to watch that do you think Maizie is going loopy?Kath says she was loopy from the start the whole lot of them aren't normal especially the two half brothers ;D :farmer:
-
Wizard I think its great you and Kath get to 'talk' on the internet, cant imagine my Dad 'surfin the net' ;D
and yes I think Maisie's barmy!
-
Me and OH also met in chat on the internet. He doesn't come on here but he's on his own games forum, and doesn't mind me being on here at all ;D
-
how could he mind... its free, intelligent (mostly!!) friendly, and a mine of information!
Hes usually on e-bay, which can end up costing us ££££s!
And without some of you lovely people, we wouldnt have the ex-batt hens, baby guineapigs, and big plans for our place!!

Little Blue and daft to sometimes its good for you a chuckle :farmer:
-
My hubby doesnt mind me being on this site cos at least Im learning something usefull lol However he does object to me playing Runescape. Im an Rs addict and have played since 2001.
-
An OH would be nice to have so they could mind me being on here. :'( :'( ;D
-
My hubby loves to watch old war documentaries on telly so when I am on here he gets peace to, he does ask sometimes what I am laughing at, but he has no interest in forums. he spends ages on his e-mail and shopping.
-
Most of the time he doesn't mind cos he's doing something geeky on his computer next to me -
Sometimes though when he wants my attention he suddenly minds for a bit Fairness doesn't come into it
If I mind about his computer use, I am totally unreasonable......Pah!!!!!!
-
, or my horse forum,
What horse forum are you on Roxy?
-
My hubby doesn't usually mind. He's computer phobic even though only mid 40s! I use my iPhone so I can sit in the lounge like right now while he watches some rubbish on the telly and I can go on the Internet. He only minds when i start laughing at the posts and he doesn't know what I'm laughing at.

Hey up Horses are like snow I hate em Snow lovely on Christmas Cards Horses Bite at the front Kick at the back and if they cannot get me like that the sods walk sideways and stand on me foot ;D ;D :farmer:
-
I am very good, and only go on a couple of horse forums, one for the Dales pony, and the other for the Fell pony!! Although other breed owners are welcome of course. Oh and I go one that is for frugal people and poultry stuff, among other things.
-
I sometimes talk about stuff on here, but OH has his own addictions (freecell, blogging). He doesn't mind mine, I don't mind his (much) :&>
