to think that there is NEVER an acceptable reason to call a 32 year old woman a "young girl?"

[Hullygully]

No I'm not.

I couldn't care less what emotive flannel is flung about.

IT. IS.NOT.ACCEPTABLE.

The end.

Can I just say, so you don't think that we should all like being called young girls and just live with it in every context... I swore at a man today.

The man was promoting the franchise "Hire A Hubby"... he acosted me with a leaflet, I was brooding over this thread (and others) so not in the mood for that sort of twattery.

Anyhoo, I'm afraid I left the 'poor young chap' (actually he was 50 if a day) looking a bit bewildered at my rant. I did ask if he offered all marital services.

So thank you. I guess somewhere there is someone that doesn't get offended with Hire A Hubby, I did. Therefore I acknowledge that some people may find 'young girl' makes them cross.

I don't personally, but my experience today has given me insight into the opposite position.

Chin chin.

Thank you for your sarcasm - was unaware that I was not allowe dot disagree with your assessment of the thread

This thread is nasty and full of smuggery. It's alienated me and I have been a friend to most of you, and a feminist.

Really am off now

I don't think you have to understand the details of what I'm talking about. I think what I said was sufficient to explain why I'd had such an emotion response to these threads.

So you didn't explain what you were talking about QLB? That's what I meant by cryptic.

That's fine. I thought I'd missed something, that's all. You don't have to explain anything to me if you don't want to. I just want you to know that's why I didn't understand you and no other reason.

It hurts me too that you've misunderstood my posts, particularly when you suggested yesterday that I'd accused you of being hysterical. I didn't do that, did I?

I did say that you were aggressive to me and gave an example. But I'm willing to take it back.

So can we shake hands now?

:)

I am a hammock ...I am also offended

oh and I would also find Hire a Hubby just bone grindingly awful and would need to say so!

WTF is Hire a Hubby?

Odd job service. No job too small. Aimed at, I assume, women who don't have a man to tile for them... I can feel myself getting rather irate just thinking about it.

Smoking is a filthy habit.

I have vodka but last time I mixed it with wine I regretted it from about 4.30am until I crawled into bed at 9pm that evening.

Jamie, take your magic torch and shove it. It's Friday night and I'd like to revel in my smuggery.

Waves back to Sole even though she nearly had my eye out with that pipe

Lol!

I thought it was a gigolo soliciting.

My mother once found some cards from a male prostitute in a bus shelter outside Homebase. She's refused to visit Homebase ever since.

Bloody hell.

Jamie is always really PARD.

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding and misreading going on.

You wouldn't get male prostitutes in B&Q.

Oh, how lovely Wonder what genius thought of that for a name.

sounds like they are offering man shags

They probably giggled like a nun in a hammock when they thought of that name.

Blistory for some reason, I find your post to Jamie really offensive. In fact, I nearly typed some things I have never said on any forum, ever. But my conscience the dames in my head said, "leave it, she's not worth it".

I accept that my last post may have been childish however I found her last post churlish given the way the thread had gone.

Tiggy That's presumably why my mother always sends me to B&Q now. And she really didn't like me walking along down the Homebase road.

Would someone say waht PARD is, please?

James?

James?

Have you been body snatched?

PARD = Polite And Reasonable Discourse

Paggy! What is happening?

What's happened to James?
