To think that people who choose to drive a sports car are...

[AgentZigzag]

...just big ol' attention seekers.

'Ooo ooo look at meeee - NO! You must look '

Not that I think there's anything wrong with seeking attention if you need it

Whenever I see a man in one, I always assume they have a small penis. The bloody things look like great big penis extensions.

I once saw on a comic list of What Not To Say To A Naked Man that number 1 was 'Oh. This explains the sports car'.

I have a teeny tiny sports car. I worked hard to buy it and I love it. And it does an economical 52 mpg.

One day i will drive to Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in my hair.

Right, Glitter

G'wan, get started, I love a bit of positive discrimination chat I do.

DH is impressed thenightsky, he said they've got a really decent engine that can go like shit off a shovel

All I can say is that it's a nice colour

Now I like that reeling.

Will you find a way of incorporating it into your midlife crisis do you think?

reeling - before I was 37, I did drive through Paris in a sportscar with warm wind in my hair. And cheesy though it was, DH (then DP, all a bit complicated) started humming the tune. I do like to remember this when I am washing loads of sweaty socks etc etc and look like norah batty when I look in the mirror.

Tsk, tsk, he's old enough to be her father.

What age is mid-life again?

It's at the age of 37.......................

That's when she realised she'd never drive to Paris.....etc

Nonononono! /Stamps feet/ I have only just finished my Social Work degree, I don't want to talk about it again...actually you know what though, I have to if it comes up, it's exhausting. Once you see and understand all this stuff about prejudice and stereotypes and all that, all the explanations for it, you can't not bring it up. (Hence why I had to reply to this thread even though I was pretty sure you knew you were being unreasonable (to treat a whole group of people as homogenous), because there was a chance you didn't, and a bigger chance that others would also not...)

So yeah, I REFUSE to go there with positive discrimination right now, because we're not deep in that. I know you're being amusing. Life is all sweetness and light and everyone's thoughtful and kind and not prejudiced at all. Right? Right.

Reeling, you can have DS's sweaty socks any time you like, m'dear!

What?

Thanks but i have plenty of smelly socks here!

reelingintheyears Sorry, I was responding to AgentZigZag. It probably won't make much sense to her (him?) either. My post essentially boils down to: I am overthinking as per usual and am shutting the fuck up.

14 years.

Sigh, Tis impossible.

Tis getting late but have a

I don't drink! /Sobs/ I'm going away now to drink tea and write my novel, anyway. That is the theory at least.

I goaded Glitter into that reeling, sorry Glitter

But even though I know you speak the truth, I just can't rummage out any of my normal non-judgemental justifications when I come across the driver of a sports car.

If clothes are used as a language to get across what type of person you want other people to see you as, then sports cars say something that's not altogether positive to me.

A sports car driver believes they have it because of it's better performance etc, everyone else knows different.

Hands a medicinal brandy to Glitters.

I've been feeling a bit off tonight as it happens reeling...

Zaggy.... Not saggy.

Infact I have always imagined you being wonderfully perky!

Oh dear, How not to sound like a dirty trucker. Fails.
