Hiya Chris You must have the devil in you tonight cos you arent usually naughty- I'm sure you dont man it so will let you off this time - but I'm always singing your praises on here so dont let me down

RE: I Just Dont Believe Maddies Dad

JC - I hope what you seem to be implying is wrong, really I do - it just doesnt bear thinking about. So many people have so many views when discussing this subject but I think we all agree with Gail that whatever - our heart goes out to anyone who has lost a child in this way and lets hope the power of prayer can return them home.
In the father's defence regarding his demeanor - he is a heart surgeon and as such would be capable and used to putting his feelings to one side to get a job done, I would have thought?
I also remember Ben Needham and in my heart I really believe that one day he will make contact with his family - I belive that he may have some memories of when he was small and he may then question other things in his life and start to look for answers.

One thing that has puzzled me though is that people have been sending out pictures of Madeleine and messages but no one has sent a message out via e mail or the press to the abductors pleading for some information - even if it was just to say that she is well and being cared for.

Just so very very sad.

RE: which comes first, love or money

Isnt there a saying something like " when money flies out the window, love flies out the door" ??

RE: which comes first, love or money

Well, in my honest opinion and I dont think many people will be totally honest about this... love is more important than money - whether you have money in life or not you still always have problems to deal with and the problems are just different but often caused by either lack of money or problems caused because you have too much money - you may need to think about that one but believe me its true!

However, the question you posed smilingeyes cannot be that general because if you meet a woman who has always had a certain standard of living and I dont mean great wealth, then I personally think it would be really difficult if all you had to live on was benefits. If she was used to having money to spend on herself, or eating out a couple of times a month or whatever and suddenly all of that stopped then dont tell me that she would be happy - and anyone who comes on and shouts me down isnt being totally honest. It would depend on the relationship as to whether they were both willing to work to make things better but I personally wouldnt let myself fall in love with someone who had no ambition to make a better life for himself.
Lets just say that a certain standard of living would be more conducive than living hand to mouth.
Shucks I cant wait for the replies

RE: flim

Shirley Valentine ... because
Its funny, its sad ( for women of a certain age) it has lots of lovely scenery from my favourite country and also the music and its just so bloody true

When I am missing Greece, or feeling down, I put this film on and cry for an hour or so and then I feel a bit better.

RE: why do 20 years olds hit on me all the time and not real men

Well Stu, because I'm educated I know that good wine doesnt deteriorate - it just gets better with age - and of course I am far too wise and worldly to ever think of competing with younger women because as you will see on my profile - I dont lie about my age becaue I dont need to! Different strokes for different folks as they say. I didnt " bite" as you seem to think - merely pointed out that you had to jump in with two feet in an instant and put a certain category of women down - and I know that not all the older women on here have been rude to you in the past - you just like being controversial. So now please - go away and bore somebody else in another thread because I really cant be bothered with you - I dont like you, never have and never will and I am sure the feeling is mutual.

RE: why do 20 years olds hit on me all the time and not real men

Dont flatter yourself Stu - you havent got me going - I am merely pointing out the obvious. You have never posted anything remotely creative or ever said a kind word to anyone - maybe I foolishly thought that by being around normal people who just like a joke and a gentle wind-up it might rub off on you but no I got it wrong - you still have a big black pit where your heart should be - but hey dont stop your posts please - I enjoy being amazed by human nature.

RE: why do 20 years olds hit on me all the time and not real men

I cant help but wonder if he really is as sarcastic in real life as he is on this board - he never changes.
I wonder if his right hand is past its sell by date - he is definitly in the wrong thread tonight - theres a much better one aptly titled for him

RE: Do women know how to cook any more?

Sadly there are lots of British women that cant or wont cook. I love to cook - for me its a way of showing people that I care about them. There is nothing nicer than an appreciative dinner guest. Both my daughters are brilliant cooks and my son can also do a mean lasagne and Sunday roast. I just wished I looked like Nigella Lawson and I would then have it all!!!

RE: Madeleine

I really believe in the power of prayer and so if we all pray for Madeleine tonight - who knows - lets hope hey.

RE: School Dayz q=o)

sorry typo - should read used to

RE: School Dayz q=o)

School days were some of the worst days of my life - I hated school. I had a very clever sister who was 4 years younger than me and I had this horrible teacher who you to send for her when I couldnt answer a question and he would stand her on the front desk and ask her the question and she always got it right. Now tell me that he wasnt a twisted mother ....
Weird though because once I left school I got a thirst for education and ended up teaching English in an American school in Athens.

Turkey or Greece should have won last night -
course I didnt watch it - someone told me

RE: were the parents wrong

Good morning everyone - hope all is well in your world.
This is such a sad thing to talk about and we all have different views. We were talking in the office the other day and it seems to be that younger parents now are more aware that the world isnt safe to lose sight of your kids for even one minute and now I am older I would of course do things totally differently,but when my kids were small and lots of people my age in the office agreed - we did give our kids more freedom and I stayed on a holiday site once where the kids were put to bed and they had chalet patrols to listen out for them - I shudder now to think that any one of those patrollers could have been a weirdo!!
I suppose we could ask why with all their money - he is a heart surgeon and she has her own GP practice - did they not have a nanny or at least a member of their family with them to give them some freedom - but whatever their reasons they will have to live with this guilt for the rest of their lives and there but for the grace of God go any one of us - there really is no need for us to judge them, they will judge themselves!
Please say a prayer for poor little Maddy because God only knows who has got her or for why and it really doesnt bear thinking about.

RE: why did people love princess diana so much ?..was she just a pretty face ? and why not love camila ?

Why did we love Diana like we did? Because she was vulnerable and we could all see that. We could see how that pompous prig she had the misfortune of marrying treated her. I am sure that she was
" targeted" many years before and those that are in the know probably groomed her for the marriage but they surely couldnt have missed the fact that she had emotional problems right from the start and I am sure that Charles knew exactly which buttons to press to get her started which then made her look like some kind of nutter. I think the whole Royal family were cruel to her and didnt support her like they should have done. I dont believe that she went into the marriage knowing what was expected of her which was to keep her mouth shut, have his babies - preferably boys - and close her eyes to his philandering with horse face Camilla. I think at the start she was truly in love with him. It was the way that they treated her that made her go searching for love in all the wrong places for so long. Who knows whether she would have made it with Dodi? And who knows about the circumstances surrounding her death - I guess we will never know but it was tragic for everyone not least of all the boys who at least dont seem to be as pompous as their father. Having said that he is pompous that begs another question - Is he the way he is because of the way he was brought up - raised to be King - Andrew seems much more relaxed and " normal" so maybe as second in line he got away with more. Maybe we should pity them all really. I dont like the way she behaved over the whole Diana thing but at least the Queen has devoted her life to the country and it cant have been easy, especially when her children were small.
I wouldnt want to be any of them.

RE: tourettes

Weird hey - could be a lot of things - stress, fear, too much cheese, too much caffeine, eating too late - I would say go to the doctor but he would probably only fill you up with tablets - sorry I'm not much help to you.

RE: Non-British dating experience

I agree. I think it takes a very special person to be truly happily married to someone from a totally different culture as you have to make so many changes and walk a fine line between being yourself but also accomodating what you are expected to be. I think that the language thing though is the hardest. You can deal with all the other things by understanding for instance - you can have an opinion that is different from your partner but dont voice it in front of his friends - that kind of thing but the language thing lends itself to all sorts of misunderstandings.

RE: Non-British dating experience

Hi everyone - hope you are all well
Well, I think it all depends on how good their command of English is. Some say that they speak or understand well but when it comes to humour they havent a clue. You can sometimes say something tongue in cheek or just be making a joke and they can take it very seriously and totally not understand it was a joke! That is because they dont understand our humour and likewise in an argument - we tend to use phrases that are alien to them like for instance you may shout " are you taking the p...s" how on earth would they have a clue what you meant if they tried to translate that one. So it all depends on how acclimatised they are to our language.

RE: british armed forces! should we be praised or punished by the media, like now!

Totally agree with you Tommy - loads of people out there making big money from books and magazines - even their wedding pictures - like any of us give a damn!!
Our armed forces do a wonderful job for very little recognition by the general public and I applaud all of them.
