Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Im surprised at the shadow Grin

Stupid lights!!

NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 21:13

Rufus, you seem surprised by your own picture?

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 17/05/2018 21:10

I'm a lifelong Londoner. Open spaces and parks are all "locked up" at dusk, or they have been where I've lived. Is that normal across the country? I am guessing not?

My answer is 'it depends'

If you're in a city, and it's an official park, within walls (so to speak - ie. within the town), with fences, and mown and stuff, then yes, often they shut for the night.

If you're talking about a more free-form thing, outside of an actual town, like a large country park, or public footpaths, then no (just watch for which ones are dogging spots)

Oh thats a bit dark

The rabbit is saying

I fear that the murderer may still be among us

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 21:08

This is one of the signs in my kitchen

Bluestocking lock in!
NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 21:06

Well I thought about it because I don't like feeling unbalanced....!

I've just remembered a greeting card I got but can't find the image, wanted to post it in reply....

It's a cat at the vet in a yoga pose and he's telling the vet "it hurts when I do this". Sorry, doesn't work without a pic....

And i bet you're too tired to exercise the other one twice as much

NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 20:36

Thanks Rufus
I was so tired doing my workout DVD I forgot to switch legs....now I have one very sore butt cheek. Blush

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 20:27

Not a joke

Funny picture

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 16/05/2018 19:57

Which one of you bitches wants to dance

Best line ever...

SewSwiftly · 16/05/2018 19:56

Cued up! Smile

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 16/05/2018 19:44

You should watch number one

With the little book of calm

That'd work

SewSwiftly · 16/05/2018 19:30

Haha, just about calmed down now thanks Rufus. Maybe I'll go look up an ep of black books just to make sure.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 16/05/2018 19:22

sew

Im fairly sure ive seen you being infuriated Grin

(That link was for ear plugs by the way)

WomaninGreen · 16/05/2018 19:08

MissMoneyPlant, the foam ones that are meant to be twisted and go right inside the ear canal?

You might need to twist them up more before insertion.

If you mean the regular foam ones, they don't stay in for long, useless for me.

Sorry if that all sounds like an episode of Miranda.....!

SewSwiftly · 16/05/2018 19:06

Just stumbled on this page trying to take my mind off something infuriating on another thread. Thought I'd mention (in case anyone's not on twitter) the writer of Black Books is fully gender critical. So, I don't know, make if that what you will.

MissMoneyPlant · 16/05/2018 19:01

... Oh, and has anyone seen the new unscripted episode of Peter Kay's Car Share? About halfway through we see normal people's reaction to autogynaephilia..!

MissMoneyPlant · 16/05/2018 18:58

WomanInGreen I've got some foam ones. But I can't make them stay in my ears...

Also - be sure you want to leave London. There's no going back because you just can't get over the prices again. :)

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 16/05/2018 18:46

Apparently these are the best dh has ever tried

Woman
Oh i know DH informed me in that same conversation. I hate football!

Ear plugs for sleep sounds nightmarish to me. I & one of my children wake if someone at the other end of the street slams a car door!
Someone needs to figure out how to do a noise cancelling field generator Grin

WomaninGreen · 16/05/2018 16:44

MissMoneyPlant, what kind are you using?

MissMoneyPlant · 16/05/2018 16:40

Ear plugs... now there's my random question! How do you make them stay in your ears?

WomaninGreen · 16/05/2018 16:37

Waddle - then we have the world cup to cope with. boo.

closing road gates makes sense, sure. I bet this is a London thing.

there's a thread going on about ear plugs - I DREAM of the day I can go to sleep without earplugs.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 16/05/2018 15:46

woman from a conversation I had with DH recently I wonder if it was the last game of the season?

No our green spaces arent closed off at dusk although some of the country parks close their road gates so you could walk in but not take a car (to prevent camping).
A couple of parks lock the playpark off but not the park itself.

The only fully enclosed parks I know are in Edinburgh & require a key to enter anyway (at any time) - i used to regularly walk in them after dark as the streetlights light them anyway.
