eh? he's putting his arm round his wife. What's wrong with that?

SpawnChorus · 07/10/2010 11:32

Isn't it just a socially acceptable way of copping a feel of your wife's derriere while in public?

I quite enjoy it.

Well, I agree with you about men who 'guide' women (my grandma once had a boyfriend who insisted on 'helping you back to the house' when he'd given you a lift home - used to have to grit teeth).

But that pic looks more like he's just got his hand on her arse to me.

Although Cameron's hand is hovering. I think the photographer caught the millisecond before the squeeze.

no and when they stick their arm out to show you " yes there is a row of seats you can move along it"

Oh no, I am with you. It drives me to distraction if dh does it. Actually make physical contact, or let me walk BY MYSELF!

I hate the way that Sam Cam looks up at DC in a very simpering manner. None of my business I know but IMHO she looks daft doing it in most photos.

minipie · 07/10/2010 11:37

Um, maybe it's because she just gave birth and therefore might be finding it a bit more difficult than usual to walk in 3inch heels?

NerdyFace · 07/10/2010 11:38

I think the biggest problems with that link are the fact that EVERY photo looks staged.

I thought this with the photo's of DC at his fathers funeral. I don't believe that man is capable of any real human emotion.

His "Web-Cameron" podcasts were the worst.

I honestly think he is being piloted from the inside by the shrivled up form of Margret Thatcher!

My boyfriend has been told in no uncertain terms that he is not allowed to do this! I think in his case it was an unconscious act, he walks a lot faster than me (little legs :( ) and was both trying to hurry me up and make sure he didn't accidentally leave me behind Grin.
It is highly irritating though.

you sometimes get a panto swoosh of the hend to show you where to go too #dullards

My DH does this....but not on purpose. If we're in a busy shopping centre he'll grab my hand and steer me through the crowds like I'm not capable of negotiating traffic myself Hmm

I usually wrestle my hand back and remind him I'm not one of the DC's Grin

NerdyFace: it all looks so staged, and still DC's face is always so shiny. If you're going to stage everything, then invest in some powder.

BadgersArse · 07/10/2010 11:44

oohyes shopping centre is RIFE

escapologist He looks like a shiny arse with eyes stapled too it! Grin

I don't mind an affectionate hand in the small of the back. When they grab/cup your elbow it gets a bit annoying. But I am 5 ft 10 with a long stride and pretty much exhaust most people who try and keep up, so perhaps its not an issue!!
