Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Emil Miller]

Now be fair Virgil, are they the sort of females to attract a G&T and Pimms drinker like Lokasenna? They're more likely to attract the Newcastle brown ale and pork scratchings type.

[skib]

Looks good to me Virgil. Actually, looks great to me.:D

[kevinthediltz]

Are these girls afraid of food?

[Stargazer86]

Not the beefy one on the left. She likes protein shakes and raw egg yolks

[skib]

She puts me to shame . . .

[BienvenuJDC]

Stargazer...we aren't fond of the one on the left are we? ;)

[Virgil]

Haha, I don't really see anyone that's beefy to me. Perhaps I just have low standards. :D

[Stargazer86]

Stargazer...we aren't fond of the one on the left are we? ;)

:lol: She just stands out the most...seriously..OMG she's really buff!! impressive but odd looking on a woman (in my opinion). I had a baby recently and am not in the shape I was once in. I admit, I'm a little bitter. But its just so easy to make fun of these broads!

Um...*adjusts moustache and cap and hopes no one noticed my womanly slip up*

Well...you look FINE for one of the guys...I hope that no one saw me checking out the GUY with the mustache and the cap...your mustache doesn't match your beautiful red hair...:redface:...I mean your scruffy red hair...

Listen after 3 pints of Newkie Brown, Nora Batty starts to look attractive.

[Stargazer86]

Well...you look FINE for one of the guys...I hope that no one saw me checking out the GUY with the mustache and the cap...your mustache doesn't match your beautiful red hair...:redface:...I mean your scruffy red hair...

*blushes then runs off to make a spinach quiche*

[BienvenuJDC]

ok...I think that I just puked a little at the mention of a spinach quiche...:sick:

ok...I DID just puked a little after checking out a photo of Nora Batty...maybe I will have a few drinks...or just bring back that red head...

[Stargazer86]

ok...I think that I just puked a little at the mention of a spinach quiche...:sick:

Well I do make a fabulous spinach quiche and I was going to offer you a piece. Seriously, I don't get what guys have against spinach quiche. It's really just a glorified omelet. Though I would have to agree that chicharones and beer make a far more appetizing snack.

But please, someone explain to me what is the big issue with quiche? It's not like eating it will lower your testosterone levels (or will it??)

Mom used to make quiche...maybe it was the fact that I was a picky little eater then...maybe I ought to try it again...;)

[Michael T]

I think we need to get off the topic of quiche...This is a man's man club...and straighten your moustache again Eliz...I mean Clint! ;)

What about talking about KeeshA...the beautiful dancer?

[Michael T]

What about talking about KeeshA...the beautiful dancer?

I must be getting old or out of touch, I've never heard of her. I googled images and got two girls...one black and one white so I'm at a complete loss!


What about Juliette Binoche? :)

By no means is she a male...I mean...By NOOOO means...:D

Howsabout Li Gong, Julie Dreyfus, and *drool* Megan Fox? Wouldn't need three pints of anything first

*Throws out quiche, munches on salted peanuts and chicharones*

Well I visited the ladies thread and find this one exceedingly more to my liking. But shh don't tell! I'm incognito. My name's Clint if anyone asks

Megan Fox

I couldn't really find a picture I liked of Julie Dreyfus...

[Stargazer86]

Yup. Those are the ladies! I couldnt find any pix I liked of Gong Li nor Julie Dreyfus. But they're both gorgeous. Gong Li in Memoirs of a Geisha and Hannibal Rising (that movie sucked though) GORGEOUS And Julie Dreyfus in Kill Bill. She has a very natural classic beauty. And Megan Fox *faints* although I think what her side tattoo says is kind of dumb and emo. But it still looks good on her. These 3 are my current lady crushes

[AimusSage]

You know clint, Megan Fox is mighty fine, but the tattoos? I don't like them. What is it with tattoos anyway? What is their purpose? Too me it's just a remnant of long lost civilization finding its way into our modern society as a status symbol used to assert oneself when behaviour and actions alone are not sufficient.

hehe. or something like that, I just got myself one of these:
http://home.kpn.nl/rouwe186/perfectdraft.gif

It's perfect! Awesome device and sweet beer... :D

I'm a tattoo fan myself (I have 5 with plans to add more) but I totally get why some people aren't into them. Hopefully I won't be one of those people in years to come or I'll have a lot to regret :P
But wow, the woman is stunning!

As for your device...that is freakin sweet and I want one. Where did you find it and how much $?

[The Atheist]

'Morning all!

Crickey, she's a fast-moving thread, this one.

I calculate that at the rate we're moving, we'll pass the women by October.

I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing!


Hi Atheist. In response to your private message, I think my original picture of the girl was just rather comical, fitted within the context of the ongoing thread, and was not too revealing.

I've replied along these lines to Michael, but I just want to make a note for everyone:

I found it amusing myself, but it's the standards of LitNet which matter, and with a large number of adolescents, it's reasonable to expect a high standard of decency.

We can play along with that, I think.

The odd bikini beauty is fine, but let's not turn it into a babe-fest.

And count me in the Grace Kelly camp. That was some kind of class.


P.S. I couldn't figure out how to delete the post, so just removed the content. I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know how to delete a post. :)

I don't think you can delete them, but the edit worked.


Haha, I don't really see anyone that's beefy to me. Perhaps I just have low standards. :D

:lol:


But please, someone explain to me what is the big issue with quiche? It's not like eating it will lower your testosterone levels (or will it??)

Definitely.

Masters & Johnson or some other duo found the correlation.


You know clint, Megan Fox is mighty fine, but the tattoos? I don't like them. What is it with tattoos anyway?

They got trendy.

[The Comedian]

Hello all!

I had some bacon and potato for dinner and a gin & tonic for desert. . . .a smashing dinner if ever I had one: pig meat and spuds, yes, a dinner that deserved a boast on Cold Ale.

That’s because we’re not Australian and thus have little or no experience of that side of the bar…old chap! :D

[AimusSage]

ahaha! :D That must be it. It should be an obligatory course for everyone reaching the age of 18 though. (or depending on where you are another age.) How to serve beer properly 101. It'll help reduce alcoholism too. People tend to enjoy their beer more and thus don't just drink themselves to death. What use is drinking if you can serve a perfect beer because you're too drunk?

After three newkies, then you wake up next morning:sick:]

There, let that be a lesson to all you young whipper-snappers who are thinking of visiting the UK. Steer well clear of Newcastle brown ale (colloquially known as newkie) or you could go home with the one on the left and wake up with the one on the right.

[PoeticPassions]

^otherwise known as "beer goggles." I just want to let all of you gentlemen know that I have many times tried to stop my friends (girls and guys alike) from going home with people that might look more like the lady on the right (in the photo above), and I pride myself on the fact that I have never had beer goggles... I tend to see clearly even under the influence, and I watch out for my fellow bar goers... but you men don't listen much, and then wake up the next day with regret plastered all over your face. There are more out there like me that are looking out for your interests... if only you'd actually take our advice ;)

so next time you have a random person tell you, "Beer goggles, man, don't go home with her!" perhaps it would be best to listen ;)

[Emil Miller]

Recalling the recent comments on this thread about the lack of curvature in today's girls, it would be foolish to deny that the skinny look has taken over from the hourglass figure of former times. However, there is something waiflike about small slim women that I have always found attractive. They tend to bring out the male protective side which can be a very strong attraction; unless you are in favour of the big brassy type of woman who is always trying to impress with masculine qualities which, I think you will agree, should be the province of men.
On the other side of the coin, the same goes for those effeminate men who try to behave like women.

I just like women. All it takes is one gorgeous smile, and I'll give everything short of my manhood to her.

[AimusSage]

Maybe you should instead not give that much to her, she'll like you better for it. Seriously, nobody likes a pushover, so don't become one just because a gorgeous woman smiled at you.

hmmm... that sounded a bit harsh, but it's true. backbone. I know you have one, don't let it turn to jelly at the hint of a smile. Stick with it. Be yourself, and don't let anyone walk over you...

As if I have never let anyone walk all over me, but you learn... *sigh* you learn. :goof:

Here we go to the Speakeasy of the twenties...when the flat chested...petite bodies were popular...BEFORE the buxom figures of the 1940s...

[Stargazer86]

Aimus- I still want to know where you got that nifty beer pouring device. I need one for my house

As for the discussion of bodies: There certainly is nothing wrong with a woman being petite or slender even with a lack of curvature. The turn off is when they're skinny just cause they don't eat properly..like when you can start seeing bones and clothes are hanging off...anorexic model ****. I have some very very naturally slender friends who look gorgeous cause they still look healthy and happy.
I have to agree with Skib: there's a lot to be said for a great genuine smile which is often indicitive of a good personality

[AimusSage]

Where I'm from you can get it in just about any electronics or appliance store.

I agree! I like a woman to have her natural body. There is a difference between naturally slender and anorexically scrawny. Skeletons aren't that appealing to me any more.

[Nightshade]

I am inclined to point out the obvious contradictions, firstly there is the whole thing with boobs, what is with that anyway? they are annoying things to lug around but having them is supposed to be good and there is the whole boob job palaravar ( can I just say BAD IDEA , big breasts can lead to all sort s of medical complications) and then men turn around and go well actually skinny titless wonders are the most attractive look? what is WITH that? seriously?
now I think there are some women who look good really good as skinny little things perhaps verging on the titless wonder side of things .. but flesh is there to cover bones not accessorise them. Then of course great bulging waves of fat isn’t what you would call attractive either, but again we get the weird thing where you have the fertility goddess thing...weird. so yes men should stop with the objectifying of women, or at least if that is impossible don't vocalise it, it makes you look shallow and you might end up hearing women objectifying women, which can be really scary and nasty.... it only makes
And have you ever noticed how its the ugliest people who are always the most fussed about having attractive partners... ?!

But I would like to also add saying " I don’t like skinny women " and leering at someone is only liable to get you a smack upside the head at the very least if said women is in a particularly charitable mood alot worse things can be done with a pair of point high heels!!




:D

[Emil Miller]

Here we go to the Speakeasy of the twenties...when the flat chested...petite bodies were popular...BEFORE the buxom figures of the 1940s...

You are right, but the flat chested little females of the 'twenties' were a revolt against the corseted amazons of pre WW1. By the time of WW2 the need to activate the fighting men required a return to a more, shall we say, fuller figure. The appearence on the scene of Betty Grable and others with similar physical charms gave the American war effort a tremendous boost which enabled US troops to raise the Stars and Stripes over Iwo Jima. Never underestimate the female body in all its glory but enjoy it for what it is.

In some ways I agree, and in others, I disagree, Nightie! I agree with you in your wondering about why boobs are apparently so fascinating. But I disagree with you in saying that making a comment about one's physical preferences is automatically objectifying a woman. Everyone has a physical preference, and there's nothing wrong with vocalizing it, as long as it's not done patronizingly. To say that you prefer skinny women isn't saying anything against women who are otherwise, it's simply stating a personal preference. Leering however, is bad under any circumstances :D

But women do it to. We all have a preference as well, we're just not as outspoken about it.

[AimusSage]

Like all other things, the current 'fad' is related to the environment. Look up some studies and you'll find that woman in difficult times are attracted to rich men more so than in good economic times, same goes for men and their attraction to women. Good times = skinny, bad times = not so skinny, as a general rule.

Ok granted.. thing is that was an edited down rant and I didnt get all the GAH! out of it. BUt I have to say women sitting around objectifying men pisses me off just as much, if not more. Im not saying dont have a preferance , and state it sure. I mean my flatmates were trying to set me up with this lovley guy ( and he is lovley, and apparntly very attractive and loads of people throwing themselves at him) apparntly hairy hands is a good thing but I can't see it. I guess I just get particuarlly annoyed but this because I have more than once been in the company of males who havet realised I could understandthem and started commenting on every female who walked past. and on one occaison this guy a) knew I could understand and b) was atually commenting to me and I was like Excuse me? so if thats your opinion of women what do you think of me excatly? tell you it shut him up fast.

I hear ya, though we're gonna get yelled at for this in a minute for invading the boys' thread!!

As it were...

Gentlemen!! Since when is being female, dressed up, and in a bar an invitation to be groped? At what point did you males take it upon yourselves to decide that feeling up a girl without so much as a word to her was acceptable? Just wondering :D

seriously though, only morons grope women like that in bars. It's the idiots that give men a bad name.

Ahhh... short tall, I've had 'em all.

One of the advantages of being 6'3" is that most women like to have a boyfriend taller than them, which tends to open the field up to any woman not playing professional basketball!

:D

Other than grotesquely skinny or fat, body shape isn't high on my list, but I do like those tall slim ones.



The turn off is when they're skinny just cause they don't eat properly..like when you can start seeing bones and clothes are hanging off...anorexic model ****.

Agree. I find that sickening, actually.

You're in the wrong forum.

I'd lay enormous odds that no participant in this thread would ever do such a thing. Now, if you want to go to some forums where the males do carry on like that, I can direct you to ask the question there.

(The answer as to why they do it, is because they're a sub-species of humanity which hasn't evolved past the cave-bear mating ritual yet.)

[prendrelemick]

Prefrences of body shape are cultural as well.
In the Iliad I notice that the women of Troy were "deep bosomed", which is still the preferred body shape in that area . Then on the Greek side of the we have Queen Arete of the "slim ankles". denoting a slender ideal.

Has a Gentleman's preferment with regards to breasts anything to do with the size of his Mother's bosom? Or is that a "don't even go there" scenario.

Looking at the size and extent of the recent invasion by girls, I would like to quote an earlier post of mine in this thread:
Even though it is "boys-only" thread here, could I address the girls in this thread please?

What are you doing?

I am a little embarrassed that some (will not name names but I am sure they know who they are) are claiming to be men and post in this thread pretending to be men! That is very disappointing.

Why, oh, why would anyone to pretend to be men? Want to be a man?

We have to give it to the guys that even if occassionally they post in the Coffee thread, none of them come in high heels and say things like "Why do my nails keep chipping? Should I have caramel or light blond highlights? Does my bum look big in this?"

I might even propose that those who have made that unfortunate choice get banned from the "girls-only" thread for a week or so!

Over a long and misspent life, I have had the good fortune to know women from Oriental and Occidental countries. I have always had a soft spot for the Madame Butterfly delicacy of Japaneses women, as well as oriental women in general, who seem to be more subtle than their western counterparts.
Given that many members of the Bloke's thread are too young to have experienced the Lotus Blossom effect, are there any of the more experienced members who are able to put forward a personal opinion on this issue.

I agree some of them do have a china-doll quality, but it's never attracted me.

The thing with Oriental women is that they are incredibly sexy to begin with, but as soon as they hit forty they have a tendency to transform into Yoda...

They can easily go from this:

I have always had an attraction to half-asian women. I've dated several half-asian women recently and found them all to be extremely attractive. I do, however, work with a half-asian girl and don't find her the least bit attractive (though I think that has more to do with her abhorrent personality).

Not so. I have had relationships with oriental women of forty who looked nothing like their age. They age far more slowly than western women. Girls of about twenty often look like schoolgirls; which could get a man into trouble in certain situations if she hasn't got ID.

I am also attracted to asian and half-asian women. (although I think it has more to do with their stereotypical smarts than anything else)

My first girlfriend was a ballet dancer with beautiful, long hair. I didn't know it when I first met her, however, since she pulled it back into a bun so tight that I thought she was part asian. So I was kind of surprised the first time she wore her hair differently.

Hmm... I must have just been meeting the most unfortunate Asian ladies...

The other thing is they tend to be quite petite - this can be good, but I have a Chinese friend called Phoebe who is fully two feet shorter than I, which makes having a conversation with her while we are walking quite awkward...

Oh yes, you said somewhere Loki that you were very tall.

Let me also add to the list of people who find asian women extremely charming. There's something about their faces and dark hair and eyes that is captivating. :)

[imthefoolonthehill]

Since we are somewhat on the topic: Red Hair: my friends and I have a theory. It is a multiplier. If the woman is attractive or unattractive, it multiplies that positive or negative quality.

Attractive women with red hair translates into very attractive women. Similarly for the negatives.

I doubt it - attractive people with any hair look attractive. What your theory implies is, that there are only really, really good looking red-haired women, or really really ugly red-haired women, which sounds quite silly.

I hear you on that one- I have myself noticed before today that red-headed women are either blow-me-away gorgeous, or rather unattractive. Call me shallow, and I will be the first to agree with you.

How the hell tall are you?

I'm 6'3" and the biggest discrepancy I've had is when I went out with a 4'11" woman. That was during the 1970s, when I used to wear 4" platforms and she always wore flat shoes.

Except that women who colour their hair can often become far more attractive. It is the very reason why women spend so much time and money on their hair - because it makes a huge difference to attractiveness.

You see the trouble with this club/thread is that the members are too far apart, geographically and culturally. So if I say, "didn't Giggsey do well yesterday," or "fancy Vaughan being dropped." It means nothing to our esteemed members from The America's. So thats sport off the agenda.

Now there is nothing more fascinating to we Brits than our weather, But again its a subject that refers to local conditions, so if I say, "Its a bit parky today" or "Its cats and dogs out there," half our members would have to disagree, if they even understood the statement.

So thank goodness for women, an endlessly fascinating subject for all real men everywhere. Its just a pity we're as shallow as a puddle on the highway, when we analyse our preferences.

There should be a Brit to understandable English dictionary. :lol:
I think you guys are not giving yourself enough credit. Oh sure, there's the outward beauty bit, but I think you guys are more sensitive than you let on.;)

And Hatton should've changed his fighting style. It was to Pacquiao's advantage! That guy has some killer punch! My dad says that his left punch was what brought down all his Mexican opponents. It can be safe to say that you can expect a sure KO if you get hit with his left. But I must say, Hatton's style was certainly different from what the Pacman was used to. It was such a short fight though...

Hattons "style" is to block punches with his head. :( He should never have dropped his right hand. How he didn't spot that punch coming I'll never know, it wasn't exactly subtle.

Pacman looks the business.

I believe he's more on the offensive? He just moves on forward. I bet he thought he can take on the Pacman's punches. He should have been more strategic, and also adapt a defensive style. Pacquiao's punches are extremely powerful and he's got incredible speed and footwork. Not to mention that he's got a reach advantage over Hatton. I've also heard that Hatton's not used to south paws? LOL! And Hatton didn't see the punch coming because he was dazed from Pacman's punches in the first round!:lol:

And sir, this 'girlie' happens to be rooting for her country's boxing champion.;) I just hope he doesn't go into politics though. He's a brilliant athlete, but nowhere near competent in the political arena.

Ooooh, what's a Bank Holiday?:D Do the banks close down for a day or two?



We get a few Bank Holidays every year. They are a national holiday...usually on a Monday. They are best known as days that the whole of the UK looks forward to with dreams of picnics and sunbathing on the beaches. However, they inevitably pour with rain and 97% of the population visit D.I.Y. stores instead. (D.I.Y. stores are about the only stores that open on Bank Holidays) I might add that I despise D.I.Y. with a passion! Henceforth, I shall be spending my Bank Holidays in the 'Blokes Thread' bar with the newspapers and a few drinks! :D

OK guys, here's the drift. Do you think it is right, as per news item below, to allow Marks & Spencer to levy this charge?

M&S chief faces shopper revolt over £2 extra for bigger bras.
by Rosamund Urwin.

Marks and Spencer chairman Sir Stuart Rose is set to have a face-to-face confrontation with campaigners over the store's surcharge on bigger bras.

Protesters have been lobbying the company to drop the extra £2 they charge on bras above a DD-cup.

Campaigners say the surcharge discriminates against well-endowed women. They argue that other items of clothing are the same price regardless of size.


Now I think we must show solidarity with our female members on this question and give support to well-endowed women by showing a a hands on approach to the problem, and also writing collectively to Sir Stuart Rose in favour of large-breasted women.

[Virgil]

Bigger bra sizes ought to be subsidized by taxes from men. :lol:

[BienvenuJDC]

I will have to side with the makers of the bras on this. If the bras are larger and thus cost more to make, then the law of supply merits that the product should cost more. Discrimination should not be a factor. If those who are protesting do not want to pay a higher price, then they can choose NOT to buy and use the product.

Well, the pragmatic part of me agrees with Bienvenue and says that economics, not discrimination is at play here and it's a typically awful attempt by big boobed babes to play the discrimination card.

As should be obvious to any DD++ woman, men do not discriminate against larger boobs.


Campaigners say the surcharge discriminates against well-endowed women. They argue that other items of clothing are the same price regardless of size.

And that's flagrantly wrong, because a woman who takes a DD++ bra isn't likely to fit those off-the-rack clothes anyway.

However, this is an excellent point!


Bigger bra sizes ought to be subsidized by taxes from men. :lol:

Perhaps a subsidy on all cosmetic surgeons and XXX film-makers is the answer?

I have to disagree with those members who don't support the women on this.
There is a fundamental issue of fair-play involved and I have drawn up a letter on behalf of the LitNet women which might go some way to showing Sir Stuart Rose the error of his ways:


Dear Sir Stuart,

We are writing to inform you of the LitNet women members’ refusal to accept the extra charge for bigger bras. We are going to lobby our MPs and take all necessary means to defeat you on this issue.
Please note that our big-breasted women are determined to stand proud and firm and will not wobble in their determination.
You have made some well-known errors of judgement since you took over at M&S but big boobs like these will weigh heavily in the balance when you are finally sent packing.

I'm not sure what you are referring to exactly, but for me it is simply a matter of economics. I am a professional estimator for a steel company. Everyday I estimate the amount of material that is needed for a project, the cost of the material, the calculated labor and overhead costs, and then I add to it the reasonable mark up. This is how much a product costs.

Steel prices have risen considerably of the past year. In my line a work, if the design requires additional structural support, then it usually costs more. I have yet to have any of the engineers complain that the larger structures cost more to build.

But if he was having an affair (which will now cause her major public embarassment), she very likely will not want anything to do with it anymore. This just gives her a great chance to stick it to him (no pun intended) in court and milk him dry for alimony (it mentions that he is a boss so he is probably comfortably off..just not in the literal sense).
When it comes down to it, many men are just horny, selfish jerks, and many women are bloodsucking, selfish leeches. So maybe it will work out for all of them :lol:

I used to work with a guy of about forty who always wore well-cut suits and was very dapper except for the ridiculous ties that he wore that completely ruined his appearance. They were of the kind that had large Mikckey Mouse and Denis the Menace motifs; he also wore similar socks but they were not so obvious. The ties raised a few eyebrows and some ribald comment which he just laughed off. One of his favourites was a tie with a teddy bear pattern and for a joke I told him that the Teddy Bear was a secret symbol used by homosexuals to signal their sexuality to each other.
He never wore that tie again.

When I was in a corporate bank in my 20s, I used to wear shocking pink, green or yellow tie & sock combos, just as I wear pink & yellow t shirts now, and some people do indeed question your sexuality.

I can vividly recall a senior manager asking me as a 21/22 yr old why I wore pink if I wasn't gay, to which I answered, "I like pink".

Basically, he points out that there is a sub culture in the gay community called "Bears" and telling your parents youre a bear is coming out of the second closet. And then elaborates a bit about the Bears...


This is a pointless intrusion into the Bloke's thread to prevent what may have been an interesting discussion on day glow socks and brothel creepers. It is obvious that Scheherazade's interdiction against members of the women's coffee club invading the bloke's thread is not having the desired effect.Therefore, could not Scheherezade and the Atheist ensure that intrusion by members of the opposite sex into the opposing threads is appropriatly dealt with.

PS: I think we can allow the innocuous comments of the girl behind the bar to remain acceptable, her name escapes me at the moment, because her youth allows her observations to be regarded with a certain levity.
And what about those of us who far prefer a cold beer to coffee? Shall I don my mustache and cap again?

[prendrelemick]

Ha! I remember the '70s revival of brothel creepers, but I was a platform shoes bloke.



Hear, hear!

I'll have Parker sort it out right away.

Being a men's thread, this might be appropriate - I had a vasectomy last week, and I found it something that hardly ever gets talked about, so I've written a report on the process (http://www.charman.co.nz/front/vasectomy.htm) that some may find interesting.


In furtherance to the debate, here are a couple of personal observations

1. After the OP, to cough is to know pain! :bawling:
2. Conjugal relations with the wife greatly increased in frequency and quality.
3. You can expect some sniggering from your mates, who often confuse the the procedure with that of castration.

I took my father to get his done. Coincidentally I also drove my step brother (step father's son) to get his done three days before that.

Needless to say the car rides home were a bit awkward. Though the image of my step brother sitting on the couch in his shorts with a stiff drink in his hand and a bag of frozen peas between his legs was priceless.

I'll go where i please Mr Bean. :nod: And if i feel like sharing something *pointless* i will. I have never once pretended to be anything other that what i am and have posted in here less than other female members of this forum.

:p

Haha! Damn right - I've been practising the falsetto voice to help them out.

Eh? I drove myself home. Goddamn weaklings in your family!

Also as another moderator, I come here to make sure you lot arent discussing things that could end up offending or being against the forum rules... as i do everywhere else. :)

Just a wee note - you're being overly defensive, it seems to me.

First off, a moderator can moderate without posting, and it's not as though we need guidance on what's acceptable and what's not. I'm very confident that we're all big boys and understand that this is a big boys' thread in an environment where small eyes occasionally look and a standard of decorum is required. In fact, content has already been removed without request from moderation.

Brian wasn't being particularly mean to you, but we do have a bloody good thread going on here and while your input is as appreciated as anyone else's, I think playing the moderator card is well overdone.

Just curious - as I've never even looked - how many male posters are there in the coffee thread?


ok I have to ask... vasectomies theyre main purpose is contraseptive isnt it? or is there are medical reason for them?

Purely contraceptive.

Hey, while it's somewhat painful, and you have to sit pretty quietly for a few days, it's a lot better than the alternatives!

:D

Quite alot originaly after the first 9 months or so they whittled down to the occasional drop in. Basically the women perfected a way to scare off the men, and return to the subject with sufficent frequency that they dont come back too often.

:D

[Niamh]

I wasnt taking it as offensive, hence the smilies. :) I was just being my usual smart arsed self is all!
And we have the odd one... they usually come in with wigs on. :D
And i was only pointing out that i do come in here anyway. Never said that you lot werent well behaved or anything hence the as i do everywhere else bit. but if i do feel like posting something i'm going to. :)
And i agree you have a good thread going here. It wouldnt have been made thread of the month if you didnt. :D

[Nightshade]

ehhh I knew I needed to pay more attention to the newsletter...

Same way the women will eventually get bored and totter off from here too! :D
What you lot need to do is talk a bit more about topics women arent going to feel interested in... now we have our topics that scare men off... i'm sure you lot have more than one up your sleeves! :D

[Nightshade]

Though I wouldnt try the offside rule, Ive never understood why that was supposed to be complicated. :brow: :nod:

[prendrelemick]

Place is full of females again!

I blame those blasted Pankhurst gels. Should've given em a damn good spanking ! (mops sweat from brow)

Good grief - I never even knew there was one.

I'm guessing this is a permanent award since I can't imagine one better!

Alright, since you insist on invading the Bloke's thread, I will ask you directly:
Have you ever worn day glo socks or brothel creepers?

[LostPrincess13]

Um, what's going on? *worried look*

*confused* And what on earth are glo socks, brothel creepers, and pankhurst gel?

And oh, Mr. Atheist, I didn't know it was supposed to hurt afterward! (My mom's a nurse, I'm used talking about this stuff) :p

[The Atheist]

Um, what's going on? *worried look*

No cause for alarm!


*confused* And what on earth are glo socks, brothel creepers, and pankhurst gel?

#1 - really bright socks
#2 - soft shoe from the 1950s and '70s (equally-hideous as the socks)
#3 - refers to Pankhurst Girls [Gels/Gals] and named for Emily Pankhurst, notorious & dastardly suffragette from a century ago.


And oh, Mr. Atheist, I didn't know it was supposed to hurt afterward! (My mom's a nurse, I'm used talking about this stuff) :p

No, I didn't know it hurt afterwards either! I'll know next time, though.

I grew up in the 80's and 90's... of course i wore bright horrendous socks! :lol:
Never heard of those shoes mind... before my time! ;)
