Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

Hello.

It's been noted in the past that there are some pretentious wankers amongst us who like to discuss some general subjects (eg.Porn, Religion) in a fairly, erm.. academic manner, and that this sometimes seems to intimidate and/or infuriate other posters.

There doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this problem: there's no doubt that people really do feel intimidated and that it might prevent them from posting on a subject that concerns them. It also must feel hijack-y at times.

At the same time, it's hard for the Wanker's to be told that they mustn't post anything that might intimidate.

Would it be possible to have a special place, with very hard chairs to keep us awake, that we may call our own?

There were a few hippies around -- and certainly plenty of Germans.

The amazingly unAdonislike Andrew Adonis. (I did know him but I was never bad.)

Oh, onebat, HUGE congratulations on passing!!

of course!

Damn, I was so hoping you had a secret pash on AJ (and his little helper)

Yuk. That is a slimey man.

The Germans in Greece with their incy trunks and taut pot-bellies. They don't do SPF, not even in low numbers; their aim is deep mahogany.

There is a nudist beach at the far end of Plakias Bay, and last time we went I saw a German with a horribly sunburnt ... willy. A hideous sight.

Swedes · 08/08/2008 11:45

Threadworm - at sunburnt willy (was it small even when swollen ?)

I trust it was a maiden and fully clothed visit to the nudist beach, in the interests of philosophy? I am reminded of Voltaire's reply when invited to a second orgy by the Marquis of Sade: "Once was philosophy, twice would be perversion." I am horribly disturbed a bit worried by "last time we went..."

Threadwworm · 08/08/2008 11:55

Ah, I meant last time we went to Plakias.

The nudist beach was one we passed through several times in the course of walks. It was not our intended destination (-- but I did shed my bikini on one occasion, after checking with DSs that they had no objection, and found it rather pleasant I must say).

I was astounded by the number of glabrous ladies, looking like giant toddlers. Why oh why do women do that?

Threadwworm · 08/08/2008 12:08

Og god perhaps I shouldn't have admitted that. I shed the bikini in the same spirit that I held a live crab that a Greek man offered me -- a spirit of exploring novelty and overcoming timidity.

Swedes · 08/08/2008 12:10

Threadworm - You are full of surprises. The giant toddler thing is weird and horrible. If I went naked in Plakias I fear the whole of Crete would be singing ZZ top songs

Cammelia · 08/08/2008 13:38

Its all coming out now

Swedes · 08/08/2008 13:41

Disclaimer: Whilst I may be a little unkempt I'd like to make it clear that I have no ginger hair whatsover, nope, none.

I must contradict Swedes: she's extremely kempt. beard neatly clipped to a discreet, Pan-like goatee, for the warmer months.

I'm impressed with your foray into H&E territory, Threadworm. Did you play beach-ball, I wonder?

Threadworm my hat is off to 'glabrous'.

Threadworm is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. I just didn't have her down as the naked volley ball type

Don't panic Swedes. I am certain she keeps her stout walking boots on during play.

Just your hat, onebat? Come on, get with the programme.

Swedes you are right -- I was wrapped in a mystery, just for protection from the wind and from Greek men with crabs.

Hols are always over so quickly, aren't they - one really wants to wring the very last drop of fun from the experience..

hahahaaa! Threadie, at whole post.

You've not factored in the size of my hat, though. To continue the holiday theme, it is a large sombrero which covers my diminutive frame from head to foot.

ah yes, greek men with crabs. or bearing any similar 'gifts'.

Threadwworm · 08/08/2008 21:54

Seriously, though, I fear it is so incongruous with what you know of me that you might think I am fibbing. I did actually have a little nude sunbathe. Most of Plakias Bay is optional-topless, so it didn't seem too extreme to just go naked for a while in the little nudist corner -- which was full of quite nomal people and very relaxed, etc. I was among strangers in a far-off land, so felt nearly as free from the usual straits as on MN.

I've been a Nudie Judy too, many times, before things went downhill.

but Crikey threadie doesn't your bottom get stuck to the computer chair if you MN sans culottes?
