My First Experience of the InternetWe remember when this was all fields, and lived a furtive life of dial-up modems and dodgy newsgroups. Tell us about how you came to love the internets.

I don't get itYou mean when holiday deals were advertised on Teletext it was easier to book a holiday by going on Teletext than it was through the internet because most travel agencies didn't even have a website back then?
Because most of my early online activity revolved around messageboards discussing the Evil Dead movies, Twin Peaks, Red Dwarf, PWEI and, obviously, porn, none of which you could do on Teletext.
So, essentially, you could do one very specific thing through Teletext that you couldn't do on the internet, or in short, Peter Kay was wrong and is an unfunny cunt.
