God I definitely spoke to people who were not who they said they were in chatrooms looking back at it now, I remember almost giving my address to someone once, thank god I thought the better of it but it terrifies me now to think of it

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

I did silly things in chat rooms too! The ones where you’d get asked if you had a webcam to go on MSN messenger. Jesus Christ I remember when I was 15 I wore a bikini bra in front of my webcam to a man who said he was 17 but his cam was broke. Told my parents I was showing my girlfriends my holiday gear. duck knows what old man perv was doing seeing me like that. But at the time I thought it was so cool a 17 year old lad was interested in me.
Very worrying really!
Very worrying really!
Where did you get it !?
It is scary how much danger teens of that era placed themselves in. I met several people off the internet in that time and thought nothing of it back then - thankfully no harm done but it could have been so much worse! Especially since I didn’t tell anyone where I was going, well not the truth anyways! I did stand someone up who had travelled from Peterborough to Newcastle to meet me as I had a bad feeling about it on the morning, I do wonder now what that feeling was about now I’ve got a bit more sense in my head!
I miss lining up for gig tickets or bands doing record signings and gigs at in-stores
Omg same!!!
No matter the programme, I've never seen anything with Tony Gardner in without saying/thinking he's the dad from "my parents are aliens" . Loved that show!
I think this whenever I see him in Not Going Out
My parents are aliens is the first thing I've seen him on and the dark haired Mum (not sure I've seen the blonde haired Mum in anything else) so when I see them playing more serious or intelligent characters it was strange at first
Lord imagine your teenage years being defined by TikTok 
I don’t think todays teens even watch terrestrial TV, they don’t have the attention span
I don’t think todays teens even watch terrestrial TV, they don’t have the attention spanMine doesn't watch TV. But his phone is super glued to his hand. It all started with YouTube, then tiktok.Lord imagine your teenage years being defined by TikTok
Maybe the algorithm hasn’t got me yet but I find TikTok boring 
it’s just boring videos and that stupid robot voice, and I like funny cat videos etc
it’s just boring videos and that stupid robot voice, and I like funny cat videos etcI must say, I also don't watch regular TV anymore, apart from maybe a handful times a year - all Netflix/Prime video for me. Had a funny story though once with some kids - we were all staying in a place where there was no Netflix, but terrestrial TV. They couldn't grasp the concept that the show they always watch needed to "come on" and that it was only available then. They only knew Netflix and media library. Broke the little mindsLord imagine your teenage years being defined by TikTok
I have a suspicion it's the main thing they will remember about that place.You know who I always hated? Mr Oaky-Doke. Smug green b. I always got pweirdo vibes off him. And to a lesser extent, I hated TJ from Recess. He had basically no personality other than being right all the time. Gretchen rocked, though.

I remember those dolls! I made some I was so proud of that I printed them out, lol! I can't believe it, it seems so naff to adult me!I loved habbo hotel! Does anyone remember Girland? I used it all the time but struggling to describe it, it had forums where you could ask for and give advice, and you used to be able to make these dolls on it - I loved making them and would spend ages designing them

It's so different isn't it, Remember going into school and basically everyone having watched the same show the night before and discussing it?I must say, I also don't watch regular TV anymore, apart from maybe a handful times a year - all Netflix/Prime video for me.

I remember being really, really upset, because my mum was taking too long chatting to someone before we drove home, so I was missing The Simpsons. It would have been about 2001. I was so angry, because if you missed it you might never see it again. (This was before The Simpsons were repeated all the time forever.)
Speaking of Simpsons we always watched it on sky one. We had sky from the very beginning, I remember my friends wanting to come round all the time because they just had “normal” tv. But a vivid memory I have is lying on the living room floor watching the simpsons, I was lying on my stomach and my brother came in and jumped on my back and winded me 🥹🥲 the joys of growing up in a house with boys. Battered to a pulp on the daily
My little cousin was like this when we were away. She’d never not had streaming so normal tv and adverts was new for her and she didn’t like it at all.She was only about 3 or 4 at the timeI must say, I also don't watch regular TV anymore, apart from maybe a handful times a year - all Netflix/Prime video for me.

I remember that happening with my brother’s favourite episode of Kenan & Kel and the original Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory for me. My mam full on screeching through the streets that we should come back if we wanted to watch themOne of the kids in my street used to get shouted in by his Mum when the programme that he wanted to watch was on
