RE: Is it wrong to set criteras for ethnicity??

Not me, All I state is clean, smells nice and kind.....IF I were looking, which I´m not!

RE: Is it wrong to set criteras for ethnicity??

I agree, looks are important, fortunately we all have different taste so there´s enough to go around! but race or colour for me just doesn´t seem to come into the equation. I´ve met black, brown, yellow, white, several nationalities, and found physically attractive and unattractive....to me at least, in all.

RE: How much happens on the backside of the forums...?

rolling on the floor laughing I ask myself how many people here actually work or do have a life outside CS.

Actually it´s quite sad IMO. CS should be an alternative means of finding a partner or making friends, not the be all. A night out on the forum when you have nothing better to do is great fun, but for me pales in comparison with a night out with friends.

Real life is much more fulfilling and exciting, if it weren´t, why are so many people searching here for the means to live it with a significant other?

RE: How much happens on the backside of the forums...?

It´s a well known fact that certain groups of people here love the backstage gossip.

I rarely send emails privately and I´m not part of any network, but I know it exists.

Most of the time I believe it aggravates already problematic situations. People take sides based on virtual friendships, which is not always fair or rational.

Despite my misgivings, sometimes it does serve a useful purpose.

RE: My PC has VD...

Ta!

One more question, what´s the safest site for downloading films and music in your opinion?

RE: My PC has VD...

Thanks Phoenix, but what do you mean by "too heavy?" I thought Norton was the best. My new laptop is vista, should that make a difference in what I choose from this site?

I´ll take a look and make an unqualified choice!

RE: My PC has VD...

All these anti virus programs confuse me.

I´ve just bought a new laptop, so no problems, and I have a free 3 month Norton thingy, soon to expire. My old laptop functions, but is slow and I´m sure is infected.

What can you reommend when the Norton protection runs out? Are there really any free anti virus programs or should I pay and renew the Norton package?

I´ve decided to hang on to the old laptop specifically for downloads and avoid doing this on the new one.

RE: Happy New Year 2009 Thread

Elleeeeey! Where have you been?

I did the grapes perfectly too, and stayed sober, so no hangover for me today.

RE: Moments to remember in 2008

Smoky, I didn´t know your mum had died. So sorry, and belated condolences. Congrats too on your success in the German course!

As for me, well I spent a memorable year in Russia, learned a lot about the culture and met some wonderful people.

I padded out my cv with two new skills, book reviewing and examiner for Cambridge.

Moved house.

Lost a little weight, unintentionally.

Stopped worrying about my daughter who finally seems to have met a good man.

Got ripped off by my lawyer and ex husband over our joint assets.

A year older, wiser and happier.

Life is good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

RE: How far would you go?

Not outside my adopted home Spain. Why? I moved from the UK to live in this beautiful country so here us where I stay.

I´m quite happy to accommodate a "foreigner" if he wishes to visit though.

RE: You may ban for this.

Oh Leo you really don´t like the new CS format at all do you?

I don´t either.

RE: What's your favourite picture..

I would never claim to be an art expert, but I studied Spanish art at uni so I do have a bias.

My favourite is a print of Guernica, I adore it. I also love Dali and have a print of Persistence of Memory. Each time I look at them I see something different.

RE: new date

Lagoona cooks a little?

I thought he lived on tuna and tuna!

However I agree with him about the first date. An invitation to a cooked home meal is just too personal. I would much rather go to a restaurant.

On a subsequent date I would always make some kind of salad, maybe simple with gorgeous Spanish tomatoes, feta and black olives drizzled with olive oil, followed by the main course which, depending on the man (meat or fish), would be accompanied by fresh vegetables, perhaps a platter of roasted veg.

I don´t have a sweet tooth really so I would always prefer a selection of good cheese rather than a dessert.

Of course there would also be some very good red wine.

RE: Do you decorate your .............

I don´t have a separate toilet, but my bathroom is white and quite pretty I think. Nothing on the walls, but everything matches (blues)and I have lots of free standing shelves with all my toiletries. Plants I love in a bathroom, but like you Smoky, I don´t have much success keeping them alive, so I have searched for and found small fake greenery (which I usually dislike) but these are quite tasteful.

No reading matter, I think only men read when they are doing their daily business on the loo! but I do like other bathrooms I´ve seen with books and magazines.

RE: The Good Morning Hot Croissant Thread

Good grief, I´ve already taught two classes this morning and you expect me to serve you all breakfast?

As I´m going to have MY breakfast I´ll make you and Lagoona breakfast too. Just this once though eh.

RE: Racial preference

Very good too thanks, though I think New Year and 5th (special day here in Spain) will be more fun.

I wasn´t criticising your thread with my opening sentence, just that I was so surprised, and disappointed by some of the responses. I really didn´t think that skin colour was still such an issue, believing that cultural differences rather than this make mixed relationships difficult or impossible at times.

Live and learn eh?

RE: Has Anyone Heard From Scottishlass

Morgan, no, i have no idea. It´s unusual, particularly at this rime of year, because she normally sends beautiful cards and Xmas wishes.

Perhaps Kansas may know something?

RE: "Have You Ever Been Caught ?"

rolling on the floor laughing Somehow I just can´t imagine you in red silk jimjams!

Do you wear your cowboy hat too? laugh

I saw an old woman yesterday, around mid-day in her dressing gown and fluffy slippers crossing the road towards a corner shop and actually didnt bat an eyelid!

That´s what living in Spain for four years does to you!

RE: What do think of French Kissing? Does it really make a difference?

French kissing done properly is wonderful.

Most of us women I´m sure, have awful memories of boys/men attempting a slobbery, tongue thrust and tonsil tickle.

RE: Have You Ever made Love to a Vegetable before?

You´re extra loopy today. laugh

RE: in bed

Me too, or watch tv.

I never say no to breakfast in bed though. wink

RE: The Laws Of Ultimate Reality

Isn´t it so true! Replace jelly sandwich with buttered toast though, and the telephone ringing just after you slam the door to leave already late for work!

RE: THE GIRL U R DATING SLEEPS WITH YOU ON THE FIRST DATE..

Exactly what I was trying to say, but better coming from the male species methinks!

RE: why are these people not "taken" or in a" relationship"?

Single, workaholic, spare time with family, friends and the odd date.

I have little chance of being taken (not in the biblical sense of course!)and I´m fine with that at the moment.

RE: Do you like the new image of CS?

A good Irish man who plays for Liverpool!
AND a good Spanish man.

What´s a good Irish man like you doing supporting Man U anyway? At leasr I support the team of my birthplace.

Barbie doesn´t play snooker, she couldn´t pot any colour.

RE: Do you like the new image of CS?

Yep I was cheering, and I´ll do it again....cheering

But, Barbie pink is the current concern dear Phoenix.

RE: what is the one thing you dont want to happen on a first date?

I think it depends on whether the first date is in real life, or through a dating site.

I don´t expect too many shocks on a RL date, they may come later though. However, dating site dates, in my experience, tend to be a real eye opener immediately, due to only having seen a photo, and IT or telephone communication.

So, if we are talking about a CS date, I don´t want to meet somebody who looks nothing like their photo, or who has obviously been lying in their profile. (no offence to honest CS dates I´ve had where there was simply no chemistry)

Has happened to me 6 times now so perhaps I´m a bit jaded.



sigh

I´m a forgotten old time CS member.

Phoenix, they are wee children so you must make speaking English a game, with maybe a little reward. For example, the first one who speaks French during a set time period will get a good old tickling from the rest of the family. It becomes a competition and kids love that.

There are loads of games you can play to get them speaking English more, just don´t push it or make that English speaking time too long. Do you sing English songs with them, or simple card games with pictures, pictionary?

RE: There is anybody alive here?

Hadn´t noticed! Must be the lights because they are definitely green.

Spanish tv looks after us LFC supporters very well Mr Phoenix.

RE: There is anybody alive here?

Good morning everbody. Hope you all had a great time yesterday.

I´m trying to drag the old folk out for a long walk, tempting them with a tapas and beer reward.
