    Our purpose is to build up an army so we can topple MSE Towers so us nerds get the same repsect as everyone else! :D

    Motto is still under consideration. As nerd number 3 Kath, I'm making it your task to sort out a moto for us! ;)

    Okey dokey, and when we get there what do we do? Demand that they change the wording of DFW intro.... or issue a statement praising nerds perhaps?!

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Slightly nervous but if you insist oh great nerd number 1!

    Will have a think :rotfl:

    There've been some good suggestions, will review the possibilities and report back!

    Ok then! Nerd no 3 has been on a great fact finding mission and has returned with following nerdish information:

    (apologies to original posters, should have made a note of who said what but was not thinking :rotfl:)

    Our stated (long term) mission is
    to recruit as many people as possible. Only then will we be able to ambush MSE Towers and make our demands heard and accepted (yet to be confirmed)!
    Our code of conduct currently includes
    must turn any conversation regardless of how remote subject is to money saving into a discussion about how you can pay off your debt quicker
    and
    Must stay on the board until ridiculous o'clock
    Some suggested official dfw nerd club membership duties and activities include:
    I suggest we encourage nerdism on this thread. As nerds, we should strive to outdo each other for nerdish behaviour and pass on nerdatious tips to our brethren in a quest to become even more nerdative.
    and
    can we have a word of the week too? i nominate "apr"...and see how many times you can include this in a sentence during the course of the week..
    We have some possible mottos:
    'DFW Nerds - proud to be tight'
    Say it loud and say it proud we are Nerds and we are ...erm..proud
    Wannabe a Debt-Free Nerd
    Say it loud and get it heard
    and my personal favourite:
    'want to spread the MSE word?
    be a debt free wannabe nerd!
    :T Congrats to Gerradene :T

    We have a song to which I don't know the tune so am a bit lost! :
    I don’t have to sell my soul
    ('though I've got no money)
    I don’t need to sell my soul
    (But I've so little money...)

    I wanna be a nerd
    I wanna be a nerd

    A nerd

    I wanna be a nerd
    You adore me
    You adore me
    You adore me
    I wanna
    I wanna
    I wanna be a nerd

    Wanna
    I wanna
    I wanna be a nerd

    I wanna
    I wanna
    I wanna be a nerd

    I wanna
    I wanna
    I gotta be a nerd
    and nerd has even become a verb, as in
    Keep nerding away fellow members!

    I'm beginning to think being a nerd is really about having far too much time on your hands :rotfl: . Time enough to put together long rambling posts (such as this) or design club t shirts such as this: *ooh dear, don't know how to insert the pic :o :rotfl: *

    Anyway, any contributions to the club ethos, motto, activities or general silliness appreciated :D

    Nerd no 3 signing off.... and thinking she should go to bed.... laughing at own jokes bad sign! :rotfl:
