    Default Weekdays versus weekends

    It seems to me that there are far less posts on weekends than on weekdays.

    Does this mean more of us use the internet at work than at home or is it that we are too busy in the shed on weekends.

    A bit of both I think.

    A lot of us sit in fornt of a PC all day at work, so it's easy to keep a window open on the BB.

    As you say, ther's usually too much to do on weekends to spend too much time on the board. I tend to leave the PC on all weekend and check the board from time to time as I'm walking past it.

    I would have to agree with CraigB. Through the week I am near the computer a majority of the time whereas on the weekend I am normally outside doing something, but have a look on the BB when I come inside!
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    Like Craig says. To stay sane I flick across to the Forum window regularly during the day. Sad commentary tho, says a lot about what I do.

    Weekends, during daylight are for sport, garden, shed and entertaining in evening.

    I sit in front of a PC all day every day during the week. It's the last thing I want to do on weekends :eek:

    When you work all day with the computer you usually don't want to see one at home.

    Have a look at most jobs, at home those tasks are hardly ever done, lol.
    Chefs don't cook at home.
    Landscapers have terrible gardens etc etc

    (Generalizations I know)

    But during work the forum keeps me sane (debatable I know).

    I work part time at a Wine Sale every 6-8 weeks. If you like good wine cheap with a 100% guarantee and the ability to taste all the wines, give me a pm.
    It's in Melbourne, Fitzroy actually.

    I love things with a guarantee, particularly wine . Reminds me of an advertisement for Whisky I saw in Japan
    "Made From Guaranteed Genuine Imported Scotch Grapes". :confused:
