You'd have to find attractive men. I find neither of them attractive in the least. Arnold is my govenator. And...well...*struggles not to delve into politics*
I can think of tons of better looking male celebrities.

Are you objecting to a scantily clad Raquel Welch?

Niamh- Is that the chick from James Bond- Casino Royale? Vesper, I think..

Oh and Prend, I've never seen any of her films. They look horrid. But she sure is gorgeous! My daughter's dad has a major thing for her so I looked up some pix of her and I have to concur with his judgement.

OK, enough with the kilt jokes, in this clip you will see a lot of men wearing kilts. You will also see some of the finest film acting in your life when the martinet new commander of a Scottish battalian takes over from its veteran commander and the effect that it has on the troops. Directed by the great British director Ronald Neame, it makes Coppola,Tarantino et al look like the schoolboys they really are. I invite you to check out other clips of the film on the Youtube site.

Leprechaun? Oh dear - that wasn't really the look I was trying for.

Nightshade is quite correct - I'm a Welshman. Fortunately, a fairly cosmopolitan family background lets me make a claim on some Scottish blood, so I'm not too much of a phony. That said, my clan's tartan is ridiculously difficult to get hold of, and also happens to be the most expensive tartan in existence (at least according to the woman in the shop), so that's just a generic pattern I'm wearing.

Dislike between the English and the Scots? Perhaps more of a friendly rivalry than anything else...

Yes, it is the internet. However, up until now, I thought you had more tact.

It is sometimes quite irritating seeing posts which, if only members were to give a reasonable indication of where they live or whether they are male or female, would help others reply logically. I am surprised that the administrators of the site don't insist on the information being a requirement if only out of courtesy.

In everyone's profile there are fields regarding their location and also we have threads such as Where are you from? (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30915), Gender Poll (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26166) and How old will you be? (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40701) for those members who would like to share personal information with others.

However, if they don't wish to do so, we cannot force them (and if we did, there would be riots in the streets of the Forum, calling us "Forum Police" and accusing us of "invasion of privacy" :rolleyes:)

Hi Scheherazade,
Thanks for the info, I didn't know you were from the UK, I thought you might be Canadian. You are probably right about an uproar over some members being obliged to give their gender or location. It is interesting to ponder the psychology behind a refusal to do so. I mean, I live in London and anybody who wants to can see my name; I don't see a problem with it. I don't go to bed each night thinking that creditors, MI5, the Mafia or aliens are trying to find out exactly where I live so they can come and get me. Obviously I don't know people's individual circumstances, and have no wish to, but an irrational fear seems to pervade internet forums which is one of their drawbacks.

That's probably because the UK should be the most paranoid of all, but for the most part we have become ccomplacent to being watched ALL the time, we are the most monitored and watched of all so called democratic and 'free' countries.

HA!

I started an internet war once while I was attending a "science/skeptic" forum. The forum only exists to promote science and debunk pseudoscience and I suggested that since members were attacking people who were named and known, that the attackers shouldn't be anonymous and should include real names and countries in their profiles.

That went down like the proverbial lead balloon.

While I always use this nom-de-plume, all of my relevant data and a link to even my family pages are contained in my profile. 3 or 4 people each month click through onto my personal pages, so some people do want to know.

The trouble is, some people are a bit paranoid, and if anonymity weren't guaranteed, they wouldn't post.

Hello, Scheherazade here. I am female and I am hailing from the UK.

However, if they don't wish to do so, we cannot force them (and if we did, there would be riots in the streets of the Forum, calling us "Forum Police" and accusing us of "invasion of privacy" :rolleyes:)

And yet, newspapers still don't print letters from people with names and addresses, and those names and areas are published.

I grudgingly accept the change in attitude to public statements, but I still don't like it.

I must say, it bothers me far less here than other forums. Probably because I make allowances for people who read books.

I have no intention of contravening any laws and never have done, so when I am outside of my home the authorities can watch me as much as they like.

I think the problem stems from a slight dispute concerning the respective skills of English and Scottish football players. This sent the inordinate number of females invading the thread running and their input diminished accordingly, a disappearence for which we must be truly grateful. However, although women have been surreptitiously trying to take over the thread, we must take into account that soccer is of no great importance to non-British members and, therefore, perhaps we would be best served in keeping our observations to the finer things in life: namely, matters related to sex and alchohol. As for the Ch.Latour Pauillac 1994, it is now retailing at £291.67 per bottle which is considerably more expensive than Newkie ( if you will forgive the vernacular) but I feel that the tone of the club would be irrevocably lowered if the Pauillac were to be served with pork scratchings.

I take offence to that gross generalization as I do not like American football (truthfully I've never watched a game) I just go to the Super Bowl parties because that's just the thing to do. They're a lot of fun even if you don't watch the game.
Baseball's okay. Never been a big fan of that either.

But soccer (or as you call it, football) is by far my favorite sport. I played for years and will have my 5 month old daughter who is quite a kicker, play when she is old enough. Shame it's not more widely watched here.

You are right of course, I meant to say USA instead of non-British members even though I realise there is an on-going attempt to export football into the US. My reason for mentioning it had less to do with football, of which I know practically nothing, than an attempt to revive flagging interest in the thread itself. That being said, football, or any other sport, is a non starter in comparison to sex and booze.:D

the first one is just for teasing, the second one is to give you a figure and hold in saggy bits so you look good in a nice dress. :D

Although I have never seen a woman wearing the second item (Thank Heavens) , neither have I seen one wearing the first ( Worse Luck ). At the risk of much ribald comment, where have I been going wrong?

As for the Ch.Latour Pauillac 1994, it is now retailing at £291.67 per bottle which is considerably more expensive than Newkie ( if you will forgive the vernacular) but I feel that the tone of the club would be irrevocably lowered if the Pauillac were to be served with pork scratchings.

How about a topic on ladies underwear, or sömething equally important, to get this thread back to where it belongs. :D

Two pictures of underwear below, One from Anne Summers and one from Damart. One is considered sexy, the other frumpy. Whats the difference ?(apart from about 30 quid)

Women wear the first one when they know it's going to be exposed and the second when they know it's not.

The only times that I've seen any really sexy lingerie worn with intent is actually during marriage. When a girlfriend goes out with her man, she's not thinking about turning him on, because if he isn't turned on by just being there, he wouldn't be there!

Couples, given the time and lack of competition unavailable to singles, have the opportunity to dress nicely both on top and underneath. Most sexy lingerie is designed to be worn without clothes.

You make much finer distinctions with your appearance and clothes than I do. Usually, I'm not considering whether an outfit is about admiration or liberation. Most often, it's just a matter of clean or not clean, new or threadbare. Sometimes my thoughts range as high as whether something fits, but most of the time it's pretty low-order thinking.

This time I'd like to offer a possible explanation of that "mammarial disparity". Here's my uneducated visual forensic analysis:

It may all be just a distortion due to lighting. The light comes from the left (our left) and a "mountain" of this magnitude could cast an significant shadow that accentuates the actual size. At the same time, the same light hits the other landmark and de-emphasizes it.

Personally I'm drawn to the garment itself -- the halter strap...the demi...

Having recently been shamed in another thread into admitting to being a Manchester United fan since early childhood:p, I was wondering how many of our more mature members owned or played Subbuteo when they were younger.
Do today’s modern equivalents of fantasy football management and X-box style football games really measure up to the world of Subbuteo, where you were the players, manager, grounds men and owner all at once. What lengths did you go to in order to perfect your pitch and your football skills? Did you and your pals have a league? Did you have the rugby version? Was there an equivalent game for American sports? :)

Have you tried a statue of a owl, one of trhose plastic things? Someone who had a similar problem tried it and told me it worked for a while. Then the woodpeckers realized it didn't move and felt comfortable going back. It might get you some relief and perhaps if you moved it around you might be able to fake them into thinking it's real.

I used a plastic kite shaped like a hawk, strung between house and sheds - it works on most birds, but woodpeckers are not native here.

Yes, birds aren't as dumb as we think. When fishing, we often get pagued by muttonbirds which dive down and grab the bait after the line is cast. Killing one and leaving it floating keeps the rest away.

Quite right all round. (Except for the pain bit! :) )

I agree with you on the importance of his works, as well. While I like 1984 as a story, it's no match for Road, Homage P&L and his essays. That's where Orwell's heart was.

Hello Gentlemen,

I've recently felled two trees and am now in the process of cleaning up the brush and logs. Soon, I'll split the wood with maul (not a motorized splitter) and create, with luck and some effort, a dandy wood pile.

Oh, the two trees: (1) Red oak and (1) quaking aspen, referred to as "poplar" in some areas.

I'll be taking photos to document my efforts.

I hope you were properly equipped. Red checked brushed cotten shirt, (open to the belly button,) blue jeans with braces, steel toecapped rigger boots, Mountie hat, red spotted kerchief round neck. (Tool belt optional). Hickory shafted felling axe.

Ha! I only wish I had all the cool stuff. Unfortunately, my raiment consisted of an old tee-shirt, shorts, gym socks, old running shoes, and a baseball cap.

And while, I do hope to be able to fell trees with a lovely "hickory shafted felling axe" (double-bladed), my tool this time was modern: a simple chainsaw.

Comedian that is the sage advice I was longing for. Luckily, I do not need to put your plan into effect. It seems the officer in question has met a premature end. Apparently he fell down a manhole in the dark, while carrying out his constabulary duties. There is some talk that a shadowy figure was earlier spotted fleeing the scene with a manhole cover tucked under his arm, but this is all speculation. My daughter is inconsolable and, for some reason , beyond my comprehension, she is not speaking to me. Your delightfully devious plan, however, will come in very handy in the future. :)

Yeah, Farrah Fawcett. Coming as it did just after David Carradine, I am in mourning.

Even Whacko snuffing it couldn't cheer me up.

This was THE poster to have on your wall in the 70's.

You can almost feel the Californian sun beating down.

Athiest, :lol::lol::lol: Farrah Fawcet's contribution to male wellbeing was enormous, she had a couple of monumental assets. Not quite sure about David Carradine though. Who is that other guy you mentioned? :)

Prendrelmick :lol::lol::lol: Hope thats not a copy of that poster thats been hanging on your bedroom wall since 1970. ;) Another thing, what is going to win the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle today? :)

David Carradine? Kung Fu the legendary TV series - a bizarre and outstandingly good mix of Shaolin kung fu in the best tradition of Bruce Lee combined with a high-quality 1970's Western, a la Bonanza.

If you're too young to have seen it, find DVDs and watch.

Best TV program ever.

By a margin.

Ah, another gambler!

I take it you were not at Ascot last week?

Hi there! I think Kung Fu was a bit before your time.

Aye! :D

Hoss was my hero!

Until he croaked, then I stopped watching it. Once Michael Landon was the only son left I couldn't take any more.

Athiest, you will love this, just watched your compatriot Neil Young blowing Glastonbury away. Sony headphones, a must, dram of Glen Morangie, heaven. ' Keep on rocking in the freeworld ' Michael T, that was an impressive montage, obviously David slipped up with the rope trick. :) The world has lost three superstars this week, Farrah, David and my tortoise, Speedy.

Athiest, see how everyone always goes on about Hoss and Little Joe, but what about Adam? I know, what about Him? Lorne Greene was good as well in the immortal role of Pa. So my old man used to tell me anyway. ;) Scheherazade, your a bull****ter, if you remember Star Trek you must remember Blakes Seven, and the alzheimers defence wont wash! Limajean, stop with the lies, I saw you in the Queue for David Bowie and the spiders from mars tour, remember, it was pouring with rain and your lightening tatoo washed off :)

Ah, Space 1999. Barbara Bain. I used to watch that!

Athiest, see how everyone always goes on about Hoss and Little Joe, but what about Adam?

No question Adam was the star, and very cool with it. After he left, only Hoss kept it together.

Pernell Roberts unfortunately fell into the trap of thinking he was bigger than the show.

...Blakes Seven...

Worst sci-fi program ever. I could never understand why people watched such appallingly low production-value science fiction. By its nature, sci-fi ought to contain some actual sci-fi - not just a bunch of drongos whining in a badly-lit studio.

Ah, Space 1999. Barbara Bain. I used to watch that!Loved her in "Mission Impossible"... but what about Catherine Schell (Maya)? Used to dream of being a shape shifter like her.
