I love my friends, their loyalty, their honesty and their respect are but a few of the things that enable me to value them greatly as friends. I hope I never let them down by not displaying to them, that which they display to me. I hope I never lose them as friends, moreover I hope I never lose their friendship because I have failed to, as a minimum, be the friend to them that they are to me.
Give me a woman who displays all of the above(as well as a few I've neglected to mention) and to whom I can return the same, add physical attraction and make that attraction mutual...... She would be my Extra Special Friend, the one I would reserve a special love for.
I don't need physical attraction to love someone, I would only need it for that "special love".
After 4 long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine...
1) The woman buys the food. 2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. 3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
Here comes the important part:
4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine....
5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery. 6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
Important again:
7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine.....
8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table. 9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....
Maybe the more experienced people here could try bringing it back up when things look like they are going in the wrong direction..... By way of a subtle suggestion maybe.
On the other hand a blantant FIGHT CLUB!! post in the thread might work too.
In an attempt to stem the flow of good people leaving the forums.
Just wondered if this might be useful for when a thread steps over the boundry between heated debate and full on conflict. People could always try bringing it here before leaving.
The first rule of fight club is: The first thread you'll see: FORUM RULES!!
After that it's up to you whether you choose to bring it here or not.
What if right... the twin who went for the acupuncture had an argument with the other twin, who didn't have anything wrong with them (they just annoyed the first twin) and they didn't want acupuncture.... What then?
Star? Tumpa? What are you two doing here? Get back in the UK thread! Once you're in, you're in.... Never said anything about letting you out again. lol (Are you two always one on top of the other)?
RE: New Friends!!!!!!!! ;-)
I might have to leave my armour at home, this knight normally only takes it off at night.... but I don't want to get paint all over it.I'll have an extra bowl of porridge then... just in case ;o)
Shall I bring some mixers? or will we just mix'n match?
