Me: Online: Tonight: Talkin' 2U...

I DID NOT STEAL chocolate. I yammed it down this morning... Ritter milk and biscuit which was a compromise for 2 cravings (thick, thick chocolate and biccies)... though I wished I'd gone for neat dark choc as afterwards I felt vaguely sick, yet craving more... Something dark chocolate never does. Ho-hummm.

The picture is supposed to be Whoopi Goldberg from the 80s film Jumpin' Jack Flash, which as you probably know, features lots of onscreen dialogue of the style now possible on my blog via my personal Gabbly Gledwood chatroom!

It's not just for yarning to me you know, you can speak to each others...

You know whether you've got company, and how much, by how many "gabbers" are listed online at any given time... The doorbell sound announces a new arrival at my page; the schmonng sound means someone's just said something.

To reply:

Just tap something out in the dialogue window, press return, and you'll see it join the rolling script.

The screen will tell you you're "gabber 609", say. Change this number into your name by clicking on that and replacing it with your internet "handle".

I shall be online tonight answering notes, queries and making general conversation with anybody around from 8pm local time which would be around 6am Australian and for you Americans is around 3pm Eastern, or midday to y'all on the West Coast...

Please give me a minute or so to reply if you initiate the conversation: I might be on another window, waiting to hear that schmonng that says someone's talking to me. (How do you bring up another window? I scroll down my own sidebar to that Google searchbox and take it from there. It means I can be in my blog twice without losing my place on Gabbly if I happen to skip off-page for a sec...

OK so looking forward to speaking to anyone who can be there 8pm "Universal" Standard Time!!

Here's a tune I hear time and time again:

  5. Hey man, thanks for all your really nice comments. I'm pretty new to this blog thing and it seems like people get really offended by some of the stuff people write or leave as comments. I've always tried to keep my comments positive but I was sad to see people get angry. So your comments really cheered me up. Thank you so much. Your blog is always a pleasure, funny and light-hearted even when you may seem down. You seem cool. You live in London, eh? I've been there once and it was really beautiful and gothic compared to the states. Thank you again.

  7. yeah, i'm one of those #4 kids. Philadelphia's dopes straight from columbia generally. Way way pure, and way way cheap.
    Which, i guess could be a very good, or a very bad thing, depending on how you look at it.

  9. Haha. . .had no idea what this was about but I think I now have a gabber ID. If only I can get the timezones right! Why couldn't you do something 'normal' like Facebook, Skype or MSN? Anyways. I'm in but not on if you catch my drift.

  10. Pussinboots: actually I could get online for 10pm your time it would involve being here midday local time (so complicated in this electronic age I can't just say "now" because now is then for you... well y'know what I'm saying...)

    Nellie: you're welcome ;->...

    David: I know I will have to try to get online in the American evening, if I can find a caff open late enough...

    Cody: You know American heroin's more than 7x stronger than it was 20 years ago..??!?

    Nicole: I will try to get online for 7am your tiee I will email you or send a comment

    Baino: normal??!? me??? I never got how those others worked and Facebook ... funny logins etc. They call that a "blog" but surely it's just a "page"...
