Featured CMs - UK

Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.

I currently live in Egypt after moving here from the UK 7 years ago and still pinch myself most days to make sure I'm not dreaming. Been married to my lovely hubby for 12yrs. We have a household full of animals and more seem to find their way to us on a regular basis :)

Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?

I have been a Chat Host for over 3 years now, and love every minute, it’s a great way to meet people from all over the World and make new friends daily.

Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?

I was just poking around the internet and came across a new site (quite by accident) and started chatting to the host, as they were new they were also looking for CH's and before I could turn round I had a net thrown over me and couldn't escape lol – hence I started my online career!

Q4: What do you like most about the job?

It has to be the players, they can make or break a CH in one fail swoop lol. It's like meeting old friends on a daily basis, they make you laugh and cry all at the same time, they just brighten up my day.

Q5: What is the worst part of the job?

I guess its every CH's nightmare when you get someone in deliberately trying to upset the room, that's when you have to pull the 'Boots' on and eject or mute them. I hate to do this to any player, but hey ho, its all part of the job.

Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?

It has to be guessing games, you can have so many laughs at the answers they come back with, and of course we all love to dress up for a Derby Day at the races, and chase each other across the board, 'watching' players dope or overfeed each others Donkeys is hilarious.

Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?

Well I've had some horrendous typos as we all do, but I think one of the funniest moments was when we were playing I Spy beginning with R, answer = Rabbit, a player was having a lot of fun and laughs and said it was unfair as they had speech impediment and it should have started with W – the whole room was in fits, and it still makes me chuckle today.

Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?

I think you we would all agree a good sense of humour is at the top of the list, a kind and genuine outlook on life and keep smiling with your fingers even when you feel like crying, its a balance of a lot of things – but I love it as everyday is different.

Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?

Well there seems to be developments all the time in the world of online bingo. So long as it keeps bringing people from all over the world closer together and continues to bond friendships, don't really think things can get any better :)

Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?

If you haven't tried it, then take the plunge and give it a go. It's not every-ones cup of tea as life is totally different on the other side of the screen, but you have so much fun and meet so many fab people. Would also like to say a hugeeee big thank you to all the players at WonderBingo for helping the WB team reach our #1 slots – we couldn't have done it without your help and support :)

All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to CM Janet.
