Silly things you do because of CW

Let's be honest, most of us spend way too much time on the internet. Now 85% of my posts come at work, but that's terrible really, seems as I should be working! But today and yesterday, well, it's Xmas innit, so I thought I'd spend the days on CW rather than doing any work.

Anyhow, back to my original point, most of the posters here, especially on OT, are regulars. So I was wondering if CW has an effect on your life away from the computer at all, in a silly way.

If you don't know what I mean, well, here's mine

There's a lad in work called Craig, so I'm constantly calling him "Craigos" and I swear to Greenacre, everytime I say hello to him, I have to stop myself from saying, "onya Craigos." Quite sad really!

So, what about the rest of you, or am I the only loser round here?

Thanks I'm honoured

Half of the threads I created I think up while at work.

After talking to someone I must wait 30 seconds before addressing another person.

Quality. I got some strange looks after saying "colon naughty colon" in the middle of some dodgy debate at school.

1) Talking like an Aussie. To wit: "dead set", "fair go" & "for mine". I'd never once used these expressions before I became a CW user/addict. "For mine" is actually gaining ground amongst some of my mates now too.

2) Developing an unhealthy obsession with the NRL. I blame the Sportal Dream Team comp. I find myself looking forward to start of the season more than Super League now.

Same here, sadly enough, actually. I actually called someone sitting two desks away, "dead set a complete disaster of a human being for mine," before.
