But don't you think it's unwise to let a 17-year-old hang around with a bunch of older guys? She might hear a few things that will offend her delicate ears.Quote:

Actually, the chicks hunkering down on the sidelines doesn't matter in here - somehow, we've created the perfect blokes' room.Quote:

Little good it did them - whatever they heard, saw or smelt, there was nothing they could do, because what happens in the Blokes' Club, stays in the Blokes' Club and if some demure wee thing was silly enough to admit she'd been caught eavesdropping on gentlemen*, it would have been akin to Queen Victoria admitting to having taken seven of her footmen as lovers at the same time.
These days, the social penury may not be to those lengths, but any Real Woman [TM] would certainly think little of her sister who stooped to such depths.
The cigar smoke always gets them in the end.

*I am referring to gentlemen members of that past - while I am in no position to comment on whether any other participants fit the description, I most certainly, do not.
Yep, some women, are turned on by violence and possessiveness, but luckily, very few.Quote:

There isn't an emoticon here to describe how I exploded with laughter at that!Quote:

His son has been in training to take over from him later this year, in fact.
In future, please discuss all matters pertaining to the club and employment matters with Mr Parker. His details are here.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you go mountaineering to get away from the women or do any of them accompany you on your sweaty-palmed scaling of the heights?Quote:

Well it's already well into nightime now so I am finishing off with one packet of Prawn cocktail potato chips and one ridge cut cheddar and onion accompanied by two cans of Tennant's Super strong lager and one of Miller Light to soften the blow. You know, the male atmosphere in this club is so congenial I think I will move in permanently.Quote:

Parker will be pleased to have one of the footmen service your epicurean requests.
Are any of you familiar with Cajun style food?
