What a bullshitter.

Either he's a liar, or his version of love is completely different to mine.

If I loved someone, that emotion would over-ride all other emotions, especially fear.

If I loved someone I'd want to see them again, no matter what.

The manipulative man. He was just telling you what he thought you wanted to hear and not what was truly in his heart. Either that or he's the most fickle person I've ever heard of.

Have you told him to start acting like a man and not a spineless jelly? The big baby.

And how self-centred can you get? He was scared that he would get badly hurt? Well how about him being scared that you would get badly hurt?


Anyway, at least it sounds like you had a wonderful time when you were with him.

There's plenty more fish in the sea. And sooner or later you'll find someone. The right someone.


Next! (as in bring on the next candidate for your affections)

Last Sunday I cleaned the gutters on the tall side of my house.

Had to use my hands to scrape out some of the cold wet mud. Didn't mind that. It washed off OK.

Erecting the 10.4 metre triple extension ladder wasn't too easy either. Had to lay it on the lawn and put it together flat, then lever it up against the wall. The ladder was only just long enough with it leaning against the wall just under the gutter. Bought the ladder specially for this job. It was the longest I could find on eBay.

The worst bit was standing at the bottom of the ladder, watching it wobble and wondering if I should go up and what would happen if I fell. Long way up.

After deliberating for a minute I started climbing very slowly. Got to the top. Used one hand to cling onto the house and the other to clean out the mud and grass.

Didn't look down much.

Very slow climb down.

Big sense of satisfaction in finally doing this chore that I'd been putting off for weeks.

Bear Ghrylls: Born Survivor.

The funniest programme on TV. Apart from, possibly some of the Top Gear episodes, and Match of the Day when Man Utd, Liverpool or Chelsea get beaten.

We went to war in Iraq because of the Falklands.

The Falklands?

Yeah. The Falkland Effect.

In 1981 Margaret Thatcher's Tory party were way behind in the opinion polls and looking at defeat in the next General Election.

But then in 1982, there was the Conflict with Argentina in the Falkands - which the UK won.

This led to a swelter of patriotic pride and a complete turn-around in the Tories showing in the opinion polls. They won the next General Election easily.

Ever since then, there's been the temptation for Prime Ministers and Presidents with flagging popularity to gerrymander a nice little war that they can easily win in order to give themselves a much better chance of winning the next election.


This is what Bush and Blair did when they went to war in Iraq.

They both got re-elected after winning the war in Iraq.

"...what do you usually do when you are deadly bored?"

Read a book, read a magazine, play a board game or computer game, shop on ebay, read or write something on an internet forum, listen to some music, go out for a walk, work on my house, write a little bit more of my book, go to meet some friends, have a bath, do something I've never done before or something I haven't done for a while, cook something or prepare something for cooking later, practise riding my twitchy bicycle, phone a friend, ask the audience...

I don't get bored often. In fact, when I'm in charge of my own destiny I never get bored. There's always something enjoyable or interesting to do.

When on walking holidays in the Alps or Lake District I like to fill my drinking bottle from the mountain streams.

My brother thought I was crazy.

"What if you catch something? What if there's a dead sheep just upstream?"

So, after a bit of persuasion, I managed to get him to take the taste test. My stream water against his tap water.

The stream water won. The tap water tasted metallic and greasy compared to the fresher purer stream water.


Coming back to the OP. Yes I can taste the difference between different waters. But no, I don't bother filtering it. It's just not something that takes a high priority in my life.


But if I ever go on a cruise holiday again I'd be tempted to take something to filter out the chlorine that they put in the tap water. I found that chlorine has a similar effect to bromine.

I expect her to stand me up. In my experience, when it comes to first time dates, more often than not, the girl never arrives.

If she does turn up, then I don't expect anything. What will happen will happen. I can't control and I have no wish to control the behaviour of another adult person.

For 2nd and subsequent dates I have some idea of what to expect - and that will depend on the particular person I'm dating.

Yeah, it'd be nice if the Tories lost the next General Election.

Be nice if Labour lost it too. And the Liberals and UKIP and the Greens and the BNP and the Monster Raving Looney Party.

None of them even remotely represent the sort of government I'd like to see in this country.

Roman Catholics vs Anglicans. I was using an analogy.

To make the point that it is human nature to exagerate and to focus on the difference between 2 similar things.


Phoenix, this is what you are doing when you say that "Men and women are very different. And I'm not talking about their bodies..How they think is very different" You are focusing on and exagerating the differences between men and women.

In this situation buying an online or electronic ticket is a bad bad idea.

They either find some way of cashing it in and getting the refund to themselves.

Or they pretend that they're coming. Don't turn up then give you some made-up sob story about getting mugged on the way to the airport or their sick buffalo or mum or the taxi driver driving away with the bag with the ticket in their boot.

Either way, you kiss your ticket money good-bye.


Stevie200 had far more sense than to get sucked into this pathetic scam. Good for him.

Yes "slightly different brains".

Just as Roman Catholics and Anglicans are slightly different.

Just as the focus is often on the differences between Catholics and Anglicans. The Pope vs the Archbishop of Canterbury / the Queen of England. Mass vs Sunday Service. No birth control vs birth control etc etc etc

But when it comes down to it both are: monotheistic. Both are based on the New Testament with a large influence on the Old Testament. Both believe in the divinity of Christ etc etc etc.

Women and mens brains both have the same basic structures. Work via the same bio-electrical processes. Are connected to the rest of the body via nerves.


And when it comes down to it, I have more in common with a typical British woman - in terms of what I think about, my attitude to life, my desires, my perspective on life - than I do with a typical man from a non-European culture.

Women are not from Mars. Men are not from Venus. Women are from Earth. Men are from Earth.

Women are not some mythical unicorn type creatures.

As a 16 year old, to me women were like some unassailable mythical type creatures. When I got to know one intimately I realised that they weren't - that they were similar to me, but with more of a feminine character.

And that coming back to the Original Post, there's every chance that zhkhan's friend wants the same things out of their relationship that zhkhan does.

Men and women think by an electro-biological process inside and incredibly complex organ called the brain. This brain of both sexes relies on being kept at a relatively steady temperature and being fed with a cocktail of complex chemicals.

How men and women think is more similar than it is different.

What they think is also remarkably similar to men.

Similar levels of sexual thoughts.

Similar levels of sexual fantasies.

Similar levels of thoughts about day to day tasks: eating, drinking, going to the toilet, sleeping.

Similar dreams and desires. Similar fears.


The only differences I can see between the soul of a man and a woman are superficial differences to me.


How and what a man and an ant thinks are different. How and what a man and a woman think are more similar than different.

Yes, I always like to take records out of their sleeves before buying. You can tell a lot about how much surface noise there will be by looking at the surface. Not so easy to spot warped records though. In general, well worn sleeves equals bad condition vinyl.

I paid a total of £32 for my 24 albums. Stuff like T Rex, Michelle Shocked, Uriah Heep, Bachmann Turner Overdrive, Status Quo, Rolling Stones, Alan Parsons Project, Emerson Lake and Palmer etc etc

£10 for Rod Stewart is a joke. I got a load of Rod Stewart albums as part of a job lot of 1000 lps for £35 off ebay.

I think that the differences between men and women are like the differences between the Roman Catholic and the Anglican churches.

A lot is made over the differences, but when you look at it on a global scale there are more similarities than differences.

Excellent. Funny you should mention that. I went to a car boot sale yesterday and bought 24 lp's from 3 different sellers.

Fantastic. Only listened to a couple of them so far.

Vinyl rules. Sounds better than CD's too.

What records did you buy leisure07?

By travelling to other stars we'd be getting bang up to date on what was happening in other solar systems.

But inter-solar travel may never become economically viable. Mankind would need to either: discover some currently unkown phenomenon that would make it possible or would need to develop a mind-boggling huge source of power or virtual biological immortatilty.

Would you like to have sex with him? (you don't have to tell us the answer to this question)

If you would, then next time this happens you might want to think about the signals you send out to him, or what you tell him when he starts kissing and caressing you. Or just take your clothes off when you go to bed.

If you don't want to have sex with him, then make it plain that he is not to enter your bedroom under any circumstances.
