Come and learn the Tao of BESH, a path to wisdom and emancipation that can be gained only by careful practice and meditation on the central tenets leading the way from the barren to the Updiffed. The Tao consists of:

4 Noble Truths: 1) The life of an emancipated women inevitably leads to barrenness and babyfails. 2) Barrenness is caused by women?s FAILURE to procreate before they reach their thirties as a result of selfishness and evilness, and general hag-ishness.3) Barrenness ends when BESHness ends. This is achieved by eliminating The DROID, thereby reaching a liberated state of UPDIFFMENT. 4) Reaching this liberated state is achieved by following the path laid out in the Tao of BESH.

5 Pillars of BESHdom; YOU MUST: 1) Undertake Regular Visits to FC ? Always observing the ritual traditions of Getting Your Rat Out and Partaking of the Dildocam 2) Undergo the Purification Rite to evict the cobwebs, rusty bicycles and old prams from your ancient uterus 3) Realise that Camping will most assuredly lead to a swift and lasting visit from R2D2 4) Observe the solemn monthly rituals of ?the prodding of the buzwams? and ?insertion of cigar? 5) Recognise the terrible power of such artefacts as the CBFM, and despair!

Eightfold Path of Diffment;

  1. Intercourse must always be a union of Winky and foofoo (No Hankyhole)
  1. Defeat the negative karma of ?spitting a lot up the fanny? by pushing egg white up there after it
  1. Appease the gods of fertility by rubbing your ovaries whiddershins
  1. Pray to Jebus to put baybee in your tumtum
  1. Have your uterus sprayed with Teflon, and apply gaffer tape to the lady garden to stop BOC falling out and making angelbaybees
  1. Recognise that likelihood of diffment is in direct proportion to the number of poas you use, and the earliness at which you use them.
  1. Confirmation of a WIN can only take place after you have undertaken your First BESHly Baptism, and assembled in a place of drinking with other followers of the Tao.
  1. The state of diffment is confirmed when the second red line has been drawn on the poas, and the poas set on fire to release a pall of white smoke.

The BESHly acolytes are now called upon to provide suggestions for the Ten Commandments of BESH...JOIN US!!

He is very well blessed in the ..um...hair department isn't he? And yet not much on his chest. Hmmmm, something smells fishy

starnosemole · 08/09/2010 21:38

Can boys get Merkins? Maybe he has a little pet mole he keeps down there for warmth and companionship. Maybe I could be that mole....

Ariesgirl · 08/09/2010 21:40

A mole? You could lose a badger in that lot.

Headbanger · 08/09/2010 21:41

He is quite hirsute, isn't he? I never noticed that before.

Ariesgirl · 08/09/2010 21:42

Nothing wrong with a bit of hirsute.

Saladbomb · 08/09/2010 21:44

hmm, am i weird? i do not find him attractive in those photos although I thought he was quite fit in Inception. Praps my totty radar is borked.

where are hopon and LL i need last minute advice on questions for tomorrow, also wanted to tell them that someone has posted a load of answers from her FC appointment on the Charters thread which I thought you lot might be interested in.

MrsFC · 08/09/2010 21:46

So glad about the heatbeat LadyG. So sorry it's still so worrying though. I reckon you definitely should pull a sickie tomorrow. And this comes from a girl working in HR!

And Salts, get a FR, they are the business. I used one in the morning 5 days before I was due. Neg-a-tory. Then again in the evening, positive! Try again tomorrow! (or ignore me as I am a self confessed POAS addict...!)

Saladbomb · 08/09/2010 21:46

also TB is watching a program on Tripe FFS, how will i ever tempted him away to SWI with such gems on the tele? I will now be able to blame BBC4 for our baybeefail.

starnosemole · 08/09/2010 21:51

BTW I put my flag in Greg Wise when I discovered him playing a murderer called Jamie in a three part drama with Janet Mcteer and Imelda Staunton called something about females set in Oxford. Hands Off. (though I am prepared to share as long as I am touching hm at all times.) Will now imdb said drama to prove it, but was showing how much I remember by my own.

Ariadne (tenuous?) We spent many aforementioned years doing the sechs for no other purpose than procreation. This week we did it three times for No Good Reason. Aside from shocking the horses,this also goes to prove that it can and does get better. Its an ebb and flow thing. I always worked on the principle in the darkest times that if he could do the job, my full particiption was less neccessary (don't tell the feminist thread) Does that sound really depressing, I'm supposed to be trying to be positive here Will go in the corner with me incense and think really hard about good sex tips. See you in a bit.

LadyG am so pleased it was a mostly positive outcome. I had scan at 7.4 with dd and they put me back to 6.4 but because there was a heartbeat they weren't worried at all. She stayed a week behind where i was sure she should be whole way though and was born on their due date, so I had to concede they may have been right. Good luck relaxing around miniG, and here's some freshly baked FlapJack Daniels to keep you company on the bed.

Ariesgirl · 08/09/2010 21:53

God, I don't want everyone to think teh secs is rubbish and my man is crap and I am a frigid cow. No way! I was just looking for a bit of variety. Spice of life and all that.

starnosemole · 08/09/2010 21:56

Ooh the FC equinox- forgot to wave my stick and run naked across burning embers whilst whooping to wish all three the Power and Glory of the coven. Will do that now.

starnosemole · 08/09/2010 21:58

'A Masculine Ending'. I knew it was somethin about females.

Ariesgirl · 08/09/2010 21:58

Good luck tomorrow you three. When shall you three meet again? Well tomorrow of course. You nail them with those goddam questions!

Scorpette · 08/09/2010 21:59

I sniff a picture of nekkid Tom Hardy twice a day. Is clinically proven to increase a 30+ woman's fertility more successfully and strongly than IVF drucks Grin

I has a sad and I has also brokened my own commandment about twatfaces. Please to indulge me in long, probably confusing whine about fambly:

Today is my Aunt's 70th (Mum's SIL). Her and my Uncle live in Milton Keynes and have been staying over in the old country (Peaks) for a nostalga hit. On their way back down today, they went to see my parents (unbeknownst to the Aunt, my Mum had prepared a sumptuous feast and mini-party, etc.). I didn't go - I can only pretend to like my Aunt for 5 minutes before I turn into a petulant teen. Anyway, I rang her there not long ago and wished her a happy b-day and so on, all very nice, then she put me onto my Uncle. Now, you know how most men don't like chatting? Not my Uncle. The man brings new meaning to the term 'Verbal Diarrhoea*'. So he's talking at me for about 15 years - or so it felt - and out of the blue, he sighs and goes, Oh, your parents are such lovely, caring people. It's such a tragedy they'll never be grandparents.

Me: What makes you say that? Both me and Brother are young enough to have kids. Don't presume we don't want any just because we haven't done already.
Uncle: Well, you're too old. We (he meant all my cousins, their partners and kids!) were all saying the other week that we can't understand why you hate children, as you're such a sweet girl
Me: I do NOT hate children! And I'm not too old to have them myself.
Uncle: But you are, sweetheart. Don't kid yourself.
Me: Excuse me, was not your own mother in her 40s when she had Mum?! How can you say 37 is too old?
Uncle: But your Grandma had already had me years before (he's 13 yrs older than Mum), so she knew she could do it. If you get to a certain age and your body doesn't know what to do, it gets too late.
Me: I don't think tha...
Uncle: And your brother's with that young slip of a girl (THIS from a man who started going out with my Aunt when he was 20 and she was 15! And married her at 16. Bro's girlf is 23). She's not going to want kids for a while and your father (he's 70 this year!) probably won't live long enough to see it if they do...

And at this point, I heard footsteps (he was on the hall phone) and then my Mum wrestled the phone off him, hissing at him to STFU, and saying a hasty goodbye to me. They went not long after and she rang me back to apologise for him. She'd not argued with him, so as not to spoil Aunt's day but all he'd kept taking about after that, was about how my parents must be devastated they'd not be grandparents. THE CUNT! Brilliantly, my Dad apparently said that he found emotional voyeurism more upsetting, but they didn't get what he was saying. Then they left all nicey-nicey, etc.
Mum admitted to me that they've been coming out with this 'shame you'll never be grandparents' shite for about 2 yrs now. I waited until the call was finished to have a little cry.

Why? WHY? Why are people so cunty? I know Uncle and Aunt well enough to know that they really would discuss this topic at length over big family dinners with their lot and come up with salacious reasons of their own. My cousin had to have IVF to win her first child and my cousin's wife took 7 years to diff (finally won with IVF too, FIVE rounds - they're not rich; 3 were on NHS and they're still in huge debt for the others) and due to birth complications, can never get pg again (and she's Catholic who wanted a huge family, poor woman), so you'd think he might have a modicum of understanding.

Sorry that's so long. Just had to get it out. Is so AAAARRRGH and so upsetting. How can a man whose own mother gave birth in her 40s think like that? How can he claim to love me v much (as he does) and talk like that? AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Angry Sad [homicidal]

*I spelt that without using spellchecker. Am so proud!

Saladbomb · 08/09/2010 22:01

thanks moley Tomorrow I am going to imagine a phalanx of BESHes crowding in the room with me (a bit like the dead brothers in Stardust)

Aries, try varying time of day. I know that sounds daft but part of the rut we got in was we always used to do it sat morning, then for a while always at night. So jump him when he least expects it, will prob do the trick without you having to resort to kamasutra style leg bending.

Scorpette · 08/09/2010 22:01

MEMEME! Good luck, FC-3! Don't forget to ask them where MY baybee is :)

Headbanger · 08/09/2010 22:04

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!

Score that's one of the most filthily rude and insensitive things I've ever heard Sad. even your flawless spelling won't erase the sad. I suppose the only possible comfort is that he is, in fact, talking utter cock. But that doesn't help, really...How did you not shriek at him? I'm sure I would have done Sad.

Too astounded and fumey to write anything coherent. He is a cunt. Sorry: relly of yours and everything. But he is.

starnosemole · 08/09/2010 22:05

Aries sorry- didn't mean to insinuate that at all, was really just trying to get into discussion by sharing, and now everyone knows I did have the crap sechs for a bit! But not any more Grin. Please to accept this gift wrapped Rugby team as apology.

Ariesgirl · 08/09/2010 22:06

ShockShockShock. Scorps, there's nothing to say is there? Apart from what an unfeeling, insensitive, horrible line of conversation to take. Don't speak to him again :(

That's worse than Twat Face because he is your own family who claims to love you and should have a modicum of understanding. At least Twat Face is just a an emotional retarded fuckwit yokel.

Headbanger · 08/09/2010 22:06

oooo me, me I've had lots of crap sechs too! Still do sometimes then get astounded by lamp-breakers. Marriage is a funny old biz...

Saladbomb · 08/09/2010 22:07

holy fucking shit scorps sorry lovely, that was a cross post. What a total twunt your uncle is? I am gob smacked. But absolutely gawd bless you pops for the emotional voyeurism retort.

Ariesgirl · 08/09/2010 22:07

No no Moley, no apology necessary. I realised afterwards I sounded a bit prickly. But a gift wrapped Rugby teams sounds just the business - thanks.

Pleeeeeease, don't let this get you down too much Scorps. It's just one twatty old bloke.

Saladbomb · 08/09/2010 22:09

Just refer to him as Uncle Fuckwit from now on. Angry

Saladbomb · 08/09/2010 22:12

ARGGGHH i am really angry with TB, he decided to go out for a bike ride this evening and ended up cycling about 25 miles. and now he is complaining that he is really really tired (blatantly trying to get out of SWI duties) FUCKWITS all round then.

Casserole · 08/09/2010 22:13

Scorps he sounds horrid, and quite possibly mad. I'm sorry you had that.

Just leaving some Horlicks here for Gaga. Hope you get some sleep, chick.

Night all.
