    What can I say... I just really, really like Irish Coffee

    You know, they had an alcohol-free version of it over here? It gives the flavour but not the actual percentage... I like that version, but it does not come near to the real thing It has been taken out of production now...

    Very casual conversation Not suspicious at all

    As for Sex and the City, yes to the TV-series, no to the movie (except for that one belt Carrie wears). On soccer: I like to watch it when it's on, but I won't stay home for a game. Well, except when it's a very important game - but then I'll probably go to the pub to watch it

    And sure you can throw knitting needles at men

    wow, I missed buckets.
    This thing about walking down streets and guys saying stuff. I have two minds about it. Men are more direct in some ways, though lately what I hear girls say to guys on the street is ....rather shocking to me anyway.
    But I digress. I have noticed that some guys merely say something because it is how they feel at that moment and they mean absolutely no harm, and others..........well.
    I used to, being a shy person, get freaked out when I would be thinking my own thought and pass by a guy who would say 'hello pretty girl, or hello beautiful.' But that is all they meant and they were not trying to be anything. And I remember a little while ago, stanind outside a restaurant with a friend and there was a huge cluster of tourists from Denmark I think, guys and girls about twenty fiveish. They were dressed ultra cool and all were so much taller than me, I felt like I was a Liliputian.
    Suddenly one of the guys looked over at me , disengaged himself from the group and ran over to me.
    I love you he said and took my hand, and then ran back to his group. I just smiled, what else can you do. He did not mean any harm.
    And once, at a rock concert, this kid, this little boy with moussed blonde hair turned to me and just at the break , asked me if after I would like to go for a coffee with him.
    I said' um, I am older than you, quite a bit, and he said ' what has that to do with it and his little friend,said' what are you doin man and the boy ignored him. My girlfriend was laughing so hard and I asked her to knock it off. He just shared his feelings and if I were a fifteen year old girl I would have died rather than do that.
    So, something inside them seems to leap out now and then in a poetic way. The other guys well, if they could grab you off the street and do you harm just for the thrill of humiliating you, they would.
    So it is kind of fifty fifty and it is hard to understand guys, really , I can't. Maybe it is the day and age we live in. Maybe if it was in the time of Romeo and Juliette all the strange things guys come up with would have been thought romantic. But with guys the way they seem to be now, I can't guess what is going on in their little heads.
    And Bienvenue, are there actually many nice guys around?, I wish there were.
    When I was still in high school I had many friends, just guy friends, by choice and I told them from the start I would never be intimate, that is not me. And they were just my really good friends and so interesting and fun.
    Where are the guys lilke that now, that you can hang with and .....Now I feel sad. sniff.

    Still plenty of those around To me any ways, but maybe that's because I am still in the "student age". I hope that's not the reason though...

    A grand way to drink your coffee Here's a chocolate rose for dipping


    And the blokes' thread you say? I think I am following the rules a bit too strict here The thought of going there had not entered my mind yet I take it you stood your ground

    Good for you I am not in favour of separating the sexes too much any way. Glad you found a way in

    And nothing wrong with being a barmaid: quite some power you have there You can throw them out when they get too annoying Or cut them short on their drinks So nothing to be redfaced about
