i was going to have flake and say "i'd definitely not melt in your mouth" but then i thought that'd be crude and un-gentlemanly. i also noticed flake had been taken...
so it has to be the toblerone... sweet as honey, exquisitely crafted and with many interesting points.
you probably didn't have it in ireland cos in those days you'd be lucky to pick up a third channel. i remember my father standing with an indoor arial held aloft in order that my mother could watch val doonican on bbc2
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...
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 ?
quite agree bluebell. not replying to someone just because its electronic is no better than ignoring someone face to face - there's a human being on the end of that email. if i'm approached on the street, for money or to sign a petition or something i might be annoyed and i might politely decline but i wouldn't just blank them. can't believe people posting the circumstances in which they wouldn't bother to reply.
yep, had them and been flattered. i'm also comfortable wearing pink shirts, buying tampons and sewing buttons on my son's school shirts... thought we'd left all that junk behind 20 years ago ?
don't worry, that's not a prelude to asking for your phone number but i keep seeing the name and don't know how to say it in my head; just sort of comes out as
don't think its a male/female thing - at least not biologically but culture can encourage us to behave in certain ways and that can be weighted on a male/female basis. actually, and this isn't going to make me popular, since moving to ireland i've come across a large number of people, both men and women, who haven't listened to me. they've been so sure they knew what i was going to say that they were too busy preparing their response to listen to what i had actually said. or, put it another way, they were primarily concerned with what they had to say rather than with what anybody else had to say. sorry and no doubt if any of you guys moved to britain you'd discover similar flaws amongst the natives...
amongst people who have to listen carefully, medical staff for instance (well most of them do), i've never found any difference between men and women.

if you don't care why did you make an issue of it ?
