Now I am an older pussycat and ageing rapidly, but would some kind person please tell me what LOL means? I have worked in the computer industry for over 40 years and used machine code, assemby languages, COBOL, Fortran, Visual Basic, C++ and all the rest but so far have never come across LOL, until YSP. Help please.

It means Laughing out loud, it's sort of internet slang.

Well there!! Thank you Lissa, you are an Angel. I am very familiar with the Internet but have not come across any definition for LOL, it must be the lingua franca of social network sites such as Facebook, about which I am completely ignorant.

LOLLY

That means lots of laughs, love you.

About me: I love surveys! You can't tell from reading any of my posts, though, can you?! I am a full time worker with two children and a full time house husband, are you jealous?
Why I like surveys: They are fun, interesting and lucrative, not to mention the fact that they can lead to amazing things!

...ooh, Serena....never heard that one before...I thought LMAO was back enough....I like IMHO which is one I used before lots....In My Honest Opinion.....that is nice, find and upstanding as an abbreviation, isn't it? Very British! You can tell I have just watched a 1950 film on the telly....what has happened to this country, everything was so much simpler and more polite and well mannered back then, wasn't it!!??? :(

Wow, what a cool cat I can now become. Glad to see you are back to your old self Lizzie. Thanks for the link, I am away at present battling with an hotel WIFI link which is so slow I could do better with pigeon post, if I had not eaten the pigeon first of course, so I will follow it up tomorrow when I am back at home. Yes, things were much nicer back then, I was in the Airforce and the country was safer as a result

With you in charge of our defences....I hope you were kinder to people than to pigeons, Baggy.....of course notoriously cats and birds do not mix...what would you say to that, then??

Nice to find someone old enough to remember the good old days, and me, of course, being a youngster, I only watch it in films, I don't actually remember it...;)

Yes, I just gave my cat some chicken....I know what you mean!! He will only eat it warm from the oven, does not like it cold....which reminds me what cats and birds do when they mix...yeuch! :(
