Has Civinfo stolen my life?

boltonbrowny · 11th January 2007, 20:55

Ever since ive had my civic and joined the forum ive been on the site EVERY NIGHT.
This hasnt gone unnoticed with the wife commenting and more recently one of the lads telling me last night what a nerd id become.
My reply was id rather spend a couple of hours chatting on the forum than deprieve my senses watching the tvathon which is emmerdale, corrie and eastenders everynight.
It did make me think "have i become obsessed with the forum"
I love the car, forum and the new friends ive found, but has this effected anyone the same way.....id be interested to know?
It hasnt changed me completely, i hardly look in over the weekend, a bricky and the pub is a bond even civinfo cant break....not yet anyway
Thanks for reading.....browny

THe answer to your quandry is yes...it has taken over your life

If your a nerd so are the rest of us

Obsession is healthy

The pub.....oohhh yeah......i live in a town which i believe has the most pubs...even i haven't visited them all yet..possibly cos i am always on here

Hope this helps BB

Hey BB,

Just to quote a welcome to MrEd in another thread:

"I hope you enjoy this forum as much - and get as much benefit - as I do. I too am a first time Civic owner and after 3 months of enjoyable, fun driving, the car is getting close to being the best little, automotive number on the side I've ever had - perfect company and best away from the Mrs."

The thought train applies to the Civic and Civinfo

Some of us have been that way for a long time.

To be fair BB, the same has happened to me. You may well have noticed!! Thank goodness I don't have a family to worry about. I am supposed to be studying for a degree and have so far missed 3 days of precious essay writing time due to my addiction to this site...!

Still at least I work well under pressure. And yes my mates now think I'm a geek but I don't care - I'm getting a better car than any of them put together and I can talk to people every day about it who don't roll their eyes and sigh..."there she goes again..."!!

I suspect that i won't be on here much over the weekend, probably for the same reasons as you - except I'm not a bricky. But the pub and I have an extra special relationship too!!

thiswilldo · 11th January 2007, 23:57

Browny, Only every night....Think of me (and no doubt lots of others), I have to have several visits during the day as well to get my fix !!!

czechplastik · 12th January 2007, 00:47

It's more than a website, its a state of mind! BB i recommend checking out civinfo anonymous, help for people like us!

Topcat · 12th January 2007, 08:10

I am hooked too!!

I have to visit before work, after work, and then on and off all evening until bedtime!!

Meino · 12th January 2007, 08:16

Damn, another addiction....

l-noel · 12th January 2007, 08:19

Is it really serious doctor, could you find a cure against this addiction ?

I read to slowly ... I cannot read all the new post and I've Three pages of old post to read plus specific threads plusss...... STOP

Wife ask me everynight "Why are you not coming to bed darling..." !
That's the Civinfo addiction !

basegreen · 12th January 2007, 08:21

You're right, you probably don't have a live anymore at all

And we are very thankfull for that...

Copycat · 12th January 2007, 08:36

You guys have to take a laptop to the pub now? Just in case there's unrest in the Civinfo realm.

Not quite that bad, but I have responded to reported posts using a mobile phone browser whilst sitting on a train

Copycat · 12th January 2007, 09:00

Well we've all done that. Haven't we?

At least to check if there are any replies to your own posts.

allan40alt · 12th January 2007, 09:49

My life seems to be 'Civinfo' 'Civic driving' 'Civic cleaning/polishing', so I'm not quite stuck in front of the small screen every day; at least I get some exercise!

Ps: anything else happening in the World at the moment

Copycat · 12th January 2007, 10:19

There's supposedly a storm headed your way, again! So watch out, and don't drive/park anywhere near trees. Is this in London? Or do you guys have double deckers in other cities too?

Pottsy · 12th January 2007, 10:26

I've been abroad for a few days - came back with just one photo - a NHB Civ with steel wheels....

There is no escape.

I think you should be so, Topcat, with all the problems you meet...
Not making any fun of it, but sometimes I think your nick could be "Topprob"..

On my part, I am an everyday visitor, even at work (like now)....
And I don't regret my addiction.
