I don't know why this is important but has anyone met Franko?  I always wondered what he looked like. Someone said yesterday that he looked like Queen Elizabeth II - Scary!   :nervous:

Quote from: Cammy;605351
I live around the NSW/QLD border area. I can't hear or speak properly in real life though so I don't go out or meet up with anyone.

Funny you said that. I'm half deaf as well but that never stopped me going out and meeting people. But at least you have your keyboards to type stuff on so it's not all lost...     :)

So i'm guessing you live near Byron Bay or Coffs Harbour? That's near me. I go surfing up around there sometimes :)

Quote from: Cammy;605475
Being born completely deaf and never having the chance to learn language and social skills is very different to losing some of the volume in one of your ears. It also affects the way people act towards you. You may tell people you have trouble hearing and they can raise their voice for you to hear. I tell people I'm deaf and that's the end of the conversation. They get uncomfortable and walk away to find someone else to talk to.

When i said half deaf i meant something else. I have moderate to severe tinnitus but i still have my hearing :)

You say people act differently when you tell them you are deaf and I think i would value this as i could use it as a way to identify genuine friends from the people pretending to be your friends which is really annoying :(

I have faith in you Cammy! :)

How rude! While I'm sure it stings, it *is* totally their loss. I know I'd NEVER walk away from you Cammy  :)

I wouldn't walk away from Cammy. I'd run away from Cammy! The last thing i want is to get beat up by a Streetfighter!   :roflmao:

My social skills only started to improve once I broke out of what could only be described some really weird kind of autism..

  Around the same time you stopped using Winblows? :roflmao:

I've met no one. The guy i bought my MOS mac mini from is on Amigaworld.net everyday but is not a member. The closest to me are Cammy and RebelCD32. Also there are a few in Sydney which is close but i never go South. I only ever go North (to follow the waves depending on how good they are).

Just a souped up 500+ for me but a couple of the others have x1000's. :cool:

Both of those sounds good to me!
