RE: Forty Lashes for a 75-year-old Woman for ‘Mingling' with Men

Sorry.... "THEY" !

RE: CS Get-Together - ROME, ITALY - 3-5 April 2009

*grabs megaphone* HEY EVERYONE!!! We need to get to the restaurant BEFORE Oslo!!

RE: Forty Lashes for a 75-year-old Woman for ‘Mingling' with Men

What a crazy way of thinking.... beggars belief, don't it?!

That said, though.... wouldn't she have known what the laws/rules are?

RE: Who 'needs' a partner?

NEED? No..... I am independent and self-sufficient enough. I have managed to do all the DIY-type jobs around the house and garden, can change a tyre and enjoy a certain amount of freedom. It would be nice, however, to share things with someone. Now that the weather is looking lovely, a walk along the coast and a picnic springs to mind.....

.....ROLL ON APRIL!!!!

RE: CS Get-Together - ROME, ITALY - 3-5 April 2009

A tall tale if ever I heard one?!!

I get the feeling that, somehow, much of the wine at dinner may just "disappear"?!

RE: "I love the way you...

I love the way you laugh...

I love the way you make ME laugh....

I love your voice....

I love the way your mind works....

RE: Did u agree that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weak?

Not necessarily!

But posting en masse just for the sake of posting...??!!

RE: What are your personal values?

I am not particularly religious but that doesn't mean I don't have "Christian-type" values or a charitable nature.....

I don't believe I would do anyone a bad turn and will help and provide support where I am able. I have been afforded that kindness, even from strangers.

That said, I don't tolerate fools very well. In particular those who seem impervious to learning, flexibility and unable to accommodate others..... being "blinkered" will simply hamper one's life experiences and connections with others, noone else's!

I believe the basics; respect, good manners, honesty, etc don't really cost anything and, surely, to behave in any other fashion is much more hard work??!!

RE: What kind of animals do u have?

I don't have any now....!!

H & A

RE: Need a laugh?.............help yourself.............

Just great!!



"You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive"?? Au contraire, I learned to swear when others learned to drive.....

RE: Arline of the future?...............bring you checkbook...................lol

Did Ryanair give A La Carte Air the idea or the other way round?!!


Good one, thanks!!

RE: scars ( guys only)

I have no doubt, my friend.... we are all human beings, after all.

Thanks for being so gracious!! A true gent indeed.....

I do hope you get back on track and enjoy what your future has to offer?!

RE: Happy St Patricks Day to one and all

Yes, Happy St Patrick's day to you too, Vinny.... and to all of you over there, and everywhere!
Hope your celebrations go with a swing!

RE: So anyway, let's see what this does...

Entirely my pleasure! Though, yes, bad wording on my part (not awake yet).... for everyone, just especially for you!

How lovely you are able to have something so precious taking pride of place in your home......

Enjoy your day!

RE: Mailbox error..any one else?

Yes, same here. It does disappear after a while. I find it happens when I have deleted a mail without reading it but not if I have not received a mail in the first place.

A little annoying, isn't it? I can always send you a mail so that its then telling you the truth?!


Okay.... just a thought!

RE: Would you want to see the Pixies in concert when they get back together and tour again in June?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with them? Do you recommend them? What kind of music?

RE: Say something....to anyone....BE NICE.....

You should be here.....NOW!!!!!!

RE: So anyway, let's see what this does...

'Morning, my friend! Not quite awake yet.... not that anyone would claim to notice the difference, eh?!

Hope all is well with you?


Ohhh BTW.... to the OP. Sorry, very remiss of me, I didn't respond to your poem. I thought it was delightful, it has substance indeed. I am sure you will have no problem finding who/what you seek but, in the meantime, please do entertain us with some more?

RE: So anyway, let's see what this does...

Such lovely sentiments, Yubba! Your uncle clearly meant a lot to you and you miss him dearly....

We owe such a debt of gratitude to many like him, one that can probably never be repaid until we learn to live a little more in harmony?

It is a beautiful poem, my friend...... just for you:

The Soldier by Rupert Brooke

IF I should die, think only this of me
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam
A body of England's, breathing English air
Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven

RE: Say something....to anyone....BE NICE.....

I'm here..... will I do?!

RE: New guy, signing in.

Nice to have you here, Gary! Welcome.... enjoy!!

RE: CS Get-Together - ROME, ITALY - 3-5 April 2009

Jeez!!!

Even David Copperfield can't make things disappear quite like you can, Oslo!

RE: scars ( guys only)

Oooooo.... you do get your knickers in a twist easily, don't you?!!

I felt my post was an articulate enough contribution AND.... I haven't been rude to anyone!

Gender only threads? No such thing!! So, please don't dictate to me!! These are NOT your Forums......

In fact, you have done that to me before, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and was perfectly pleasant to you...

May I suggest Anger Management classes? How about you re-assess your mis-appropriated and diproportionate reaction and see how silly that comes across? In the meantime, perhaps its best I don't post to you and you don't post to me? Okay?!

Good day!

RE: Say something....to anyone....BE NICE.....

Well, if it turns out I still CAN'T sleep (i.e. the webcam ordeal gives me nightmares?!), I suggest...........



A PYJAMA PARTY, GIRLS?!!!


Oooooo, nearly forgot...... back-up ----->

RE: scars ( guys only)

I am not convinced that men feel the hurt any deeper or for longer than a woman. Following the break-up of a long-standing relationship, however, women tend to be more adaptable to the changes whereas a man will not be as comfortable at being on his own. This is why, for the most part, when two people part the man is more likely to enter into another relationship sooner than the woman....

Its not a nice thing to go through for either gender but I think the fabulous opportunities your future may hold lie in how adaptable you try to be...... nothing stands still, you have to keep up or get left behind?

Good luck to you!

RE: Say something....to anyone....BE NICE.....

It would appeared that "Operation Tufty" has been successfully sorted!!!



Thank God, I can sleep better tonight.....

RE: Ever thought about living on a Barge ???

I would love to live on a house-boat!!!

RE: CS Get-Together - ROME, ITALY - 3-5 April 2009

Ooooooo..... !!

RE: CS Get-Together - ROME, ITALY - 3-5 April 2009

Ohhhh noooo..... not ANOTHER disappearing act? At least not as serious this time as the camera/passport debacle?!! Phewwww...

RE: What's With Connecting Singles

The Mods have made it clear on numerous occasions that they are not obligated to respond. I guess THEY deem it necessary or not, sometimes you will get a reply, sometimes not.....

Probably best not to EXPECT one, if they reply.... a bonus perhaps?
