that's a bit much! i dont reply to everyone who sends me flowers. why give something and expect something in return, thats not giving, thats waiting to take!!! i was brought up to give and not necessarily expect things in return and it has served me right so far! those i dont reply to are from kazakstan or are in their 60's! Are u saying i should reply to them too?

Got a few flowers sent to me on here. (cool considering I'm only here a couple of days) Haven't sent back a flower but have sent thank you messages and a couple of longer messages. Still finding it daunting to make first contact though. Guess I'm more old-fashioned or shyer than I thought.

Is it shyer or shier... more shy sounds better

well of course if its obviously inappropriate normal rules don't apply but i see an email as a form of address not a present. if a man asked you to dance and he was 70 and 25 stone with bad breath wouldn't you still say no thanks rather than than just ignore him ?

Can be spelt either shier or shyer

i was dancing with exactly that type all week, its the Willie Clancy festival here in Clare

Thanks little miss. I must have never used that word before if I wasn't sure of the spelling.

they have a festival of 25 stone 70 year olds in clare ?

We do! for 1 week every July in Miltown malbay, do u know your sets, jigs and reels?? its gas craic, you should go next year

sounds like a fun week.... are there any younger than 70 lol...

ha yeah 19-90yr olds, more dancing at the wedding last night nothing like the Siege of Ennis, anyone else into set dancing or is it a west of ireland thing??

no, did go to a caili once on inishmore, back in the days before i knew i couldn't dance. didn't quite grasp the concept of exchanging partners mid turn and the more this woman tried to break free the harder i held onto her... well its the only way i can keep a woman you know...

Seems to be more a west of Ireland thing doesn't it? We have set dancing classes in my local community centre. It was ALL elderly women though.

reminds me of a night in our local hotel about 10 yrs ago.. some political do and there was a ceili band and my mum and dad got up to do one of the dances and when it came to changing partners my dad got this woman and she was huge now im a cuddly woman mylself but this woman must have been 23 stone and she basically threw my dad around the place... everytime he looked over at me he had this pleading look on his face.. have to admit it was the funniest thing i have seen and still makes me laugh when i think of it... poor man..

those last few posts were gas! yeah ye'll have to get lessons! its really good fun and is the only time i get to hold a mans hand, press up against him and be thrown around the room by him can be quite sexy! catching ur next partners eye across the dance floor, great too that ye MUST dance with eachother and actually TOUCH and NOT GROPE as is so often the case now in clubs. Ah the romance

You actually just made that sound intersting .. hmmmm not sure if i would be so enthusiastic if he was 75 with a limp and i have to help him around... kind of more 35 - 50 with a twinkle in his eye lol....

youve to take the good with the not so good all worth while when u get to be stuck to him, its v hot and sweaty business loads of 35-50 yr olds youll have to relocate!! its on a few times a week here. a big social thing and a great laugh.

ah, so that's how you spell ceili. i did look it up on google but didn't do me any good because google realized that by caili i meant ceili

I love dancing! I would love a ceili session! Let's have one at a CS meet lol ! Break the ice! I love trad...I am going to learn the trad flute so I can play with the trad groups! Great fun! Go Little miss!
