My street is called "greenways" (a bit like the greenway in the shire)

Your new hobbys is to click some user profile and when the address shows http://forum.barrowdowns.com/member.php?u=xxxx you just keep changing the four last numbers (the xxxx) and see what kind of people you come up with. It's interesting!

I just spent nearly eighty dollars on the Sims 2 and some expansion packs, almost exclusively to create a neighborhood filled with Barrow-Downers.
In case you don't know, The Sims is a program where you create little simulated people, buy or build them houses, give them jobs and manipulate relationships with other sims, and just generally run their lives. If you are interested, I'm accepting applications here. No BDer will be added without their concent, except for I did do the BW, I will remove him if there is a problem.

You've almost learned to type without looking at the keyboard.
(I wouldn't use the keyboard half this much if I wasn't here.)

Ooh, I wonders, does having most posts on this thread mean that I'm the most addicted to BD?

Another symptome is checking this thread too often. In some cases, it might also develop in something called "Down-chondria". It is like hypochondria, except it does not apply to RL illnesses, but shows itself in that you are searching through this thread and checking what of the signs you can observe on yourself. So this is actually what you have, Lommy.

I'm debating whether I should accept that definition or whether I find in inacceptable...

Another sign...
...when some sort of street band (rap? It's not even rap, it's some sort of... what's that? Whatever it is, it's terrible) starts to play in front of your house and you go to the window and shout: "Shut up! I can't hear the Downs!"

Haha! Legate, that sure is a sign that your are indeed addicted to the Downs. Your hearing has developed to hearing the Wight of the Downs' voice pretty quickly. I, at the moment, am practising smelling the Downs.

You almost think you're not going to enjoy the mayday (no school) since you know you can't be around in the 'downs on its birthday...

When you should be doing an essay, you spend two or three hours going through old threads in Mirth.
Why won't this essay do itself?
