.. like it or lump it  

I'm Michelle, 19, techy, and female.

I found this cool looking site through my hosts forums

Expect to see me about quite a bit (and then disappearing for a few days). Sit infront of a PC when at work and do the forums thing when I have nothing else to do (ok, not just when at work but the forums thing is a work thing)..

Welcome to mob453, Michelle!

What area of work is it you are in? You'll probably find a lot of people are doing the same thing at work too!

Glad you like the look of the site too  

Are you into mobiles as much as we are, or just share more of a passing interest in them? Either way, there will be a vast knowledge of mobiles on these forums so any questions you have just let us know!

Hey Shell,

Welcome to the new forums

Have fun.

It WILL get much busier, just waiting for google to pick us up

I use to be a big time regular in the Nokia newsgroup (alt.cellular.nokia or something), but like most newsgroups go, it went down hill with rubbish and a lot of us regulars wandered away. I'm quite into mobiles, but of a Nokia nature mainly (as you can tell from my previous statement). I'm general gadget geek kind of person.. I also swear I was meant to be born a male!

I work in the call centre of that large (the largest in the world ) online bank (I'll give the name if I have too...!)... Pretty new out of college etc and hoping to move on up here or get my arse in gear with web development stuff and take that up in a existing company (not solo/self employed.. no way!).

I must say I don't know which the largest online bank is - which one is it? Barclays or Egg? Or something else? HSBC? Er...no I give up!  

I'm general gadget geek kind of person.. I also swear I was meant to be born a male!

Lol do you have an older brother or anything? I know I made my sister play computer games and stuff so she's into those now too I think it's much better to be into gadgets anyway than dolls - at least you can get away with playing with them for a lot longer and without as much embarassment!   Actually...depends on what type of "toy" it is!  

Egg (and the others aren't strictly online banks.. high street banks). Barlcays, pfft. Them? ;p

Nope, I'm the oldest Just a younger sister..

Hmm there goes my theory about older brothers then!  

Can I just say how much I loved that Egg advert with Steven Hawking on where he crashed into a planet!       Cracks me up for some reason!

I can't remember that one, before I worked there and didn't get shown it in training or anything But listen to the sock...!

Take a look here then for the Egg advert! (http://www.uktvadverts.com/Media/video/egg1.ram)

Transmission date: June 2000

 

Oohh...I've not seen the sock advert enough to remember it - I'll have to keep an eye out for it!

If only I had real player installed! Err, no thanks. I hate that "thing" :/ June 2000.. probably why I can't remember it!.. but you haven't seen the sock adverts!?! :p Don't you watch TV like me or something? Saying that I have seen them though!

I've just realise what a large amount posts I've made...!! Only 1 evening at work that was  

lol - well it's all good! You'll be up the "antenna" rankings in no time!   In fact, you'll be the first person to move up a level!

That might be more of an achievement though if google got round to adding us to the search engine quicker!   And if Maverick made the odd post....

/aleco glares at Mav

I'll add a link on my site, won't do much, but it's the thought that counts!

Thanks! Any links are highly welcomed!
The more people that realise this site exists the better, as the forum will spark into life then properly.

ps just thought i'd let you know i'm posting this from work!

Posted from a mobile (Nokia 6100)

Will add it when I get the chance (at that place at the moment), will hopefully kick me into doing some script for the link section on my site too.

Hi shell, I used to work at a bank for 15 years but recently escaped due to sales pressure amongst other things!

Egg aren't too bad on the sales front. Obviosuly the factor's there, but it's not that bad. Difference with the bank I work in is that most the employees are on the same site, and the bank building doesn't even contain any money! lol

They very good employees too
