I've had to make regular dashes to the loo when reading posts on here .... I'd blame it on age but as friends know I laugh at everything .... and it's quickly accompanied with a trip to the loo 
I've been adviced though that Tena Ladies allow you pee in your pants

OMG! Now then let me think of a suitable acronym for that comment How about ....... STFU
We were just talking about acronyms tonight and recalling how Jimmy Young used to sign off his radio show with TTFN so they're not just related to t'internet.
I apologise for cul8r which is indeed text talk and not permitted here on AccyWeb.
The acronyms are very useful though because they crop up all over the net.

hmm I remember all that.. but did he get it off the internet? will be a close run thing.. the internet is 30+ years old... bbs systems that preceeded most of what we now know as the internet is i dunno how old..
I don't honestly know where Jimmy Young got it from but my Gran used to say it and she'd never seen a computer in her life let alone been online. She died about 40 years ago.
Surely there are acronyms which aren't internet related.

of course... i was just wondering as old jimmy used to say that x yrs ago... he might have been a bit of a techno whatsit...
you could and probably still can access the internet by wireless... just to be clear.. what everyone has now isnt connecting to the internet by wireless its still phone lines.. but you could do it by ham radio....

One i first saw/heard was SNAFU,which i was told was used during wartime(which war i don't know)
It's only a few years ago I worked with a bloke who used packet radio. It is more of a BBS type system that true internet IIRC.
I can't remember if I first used BBS's using my Acorn Atom or an old CP/M machine I had ( I think that was the one with 8" floppies
). I do remember the modem was probably as big as the Atom was
Remember that,but never knew what it meant

I wanted atari specific content so was phoning chester-le-street atari BBS and it was costing an absoloute fortune pr quarter... scary... but how amazing was that.. connecting to a computer 100 miles away by phone line... wernt we the wizz kids
wernt we the wizz kids
Kids being the right word.
I bet the Atom and CP/M machine are still at my parents. There is an old 8088 PC there that still works. I would not be surprised if there are some 8" floppies still un-opened
