voice, but do you not ever meet anyone, that you just have to ' have'
ever?

NcNcNcNc · 10/02/2013 22:48

ike do you and voice live near each other??!

VoiceofUnreason · 10/02/2013 22:50

Single cabins? Hell, when I go on holiday with my female best friend we may have separate beds but we share a room. It's cheaper for one thing. Iron knickers? Well, I like a challenge...

ike1 · 10/02/2013 22:50

I live somewhere in South Wales dunno about Voice...

ike1 · 10/02/2013 22:51

No I am not sharing toileting facilities with an adult male ever again!

'does think if he sleeps with somone more than once, they will want him'

ha ha, I guess his ego couldnt take it if he slept with someone more than once and they didnt hang on to his ankle

ike1 · 10/02/2013 22:52

I am assuming this commune will have ensuites'

NcNcNcNc · 10/02/2013 22:55

voice - me too. sleep with if fancy and want a relationship with, not live in wales Grin Could never just shag someone that I didn't want to be with. Also wouldn't get anything out of it.

Nomorepain · 10/02/2013 22:55

If the rooms aren't en suite then I'm not in. Sorry, but I just like to have my own bathroom. It is an essential!!!

VoiceofUnreason · 10/02/2013 22:55

watch - that's never happened for me. Generally, it's always been a slow burn type of thing. I'll see someone and think "wow, you are incredibly gorgeous" but it's personality that grabs me. I have to be attracted to the person, not just their body and looks. Guess I'm weird.

ike1 · 10/02/2013 22:56

Bloody right Nomore....I am not slumming it!

VoiceofUnreason · 10/02/2013 22:58

Of course all the rooms are ensuite. It's our commune, we design it to suit us.

Has gone right off ike. Starting to sound high maintenance with her comment about sharing toilet facilities. Even if she isn't a million miles away across the border.

ike1 · 10/02/2013 23:00

Nothing wrong with having STANDARDS Voice!

VoiceofUnreason · 10/02/2013 23:03

Indeed. And I have to say my bathroom is a damn sight tidier and cleaner than my female best friend's. So, we'll have less of your derogatory comments on that line, thank you.

The late Larry Hagman always said the secret to a long and happy marriage was separate bathrooms.

Nomorepain · 10/02/2013 23:04

On completely separate nite this blooooooooody snow is doing my head in. Seriously why is it here again?

Can we have a snow shifter in our new home? Or maybe heated garden and driveway.

48howdidthathappen · 10/02/2013 23:06

I will find nice men and fuck over the arseholes Grin

ike1 · 10/02/2013 23:06

Separate bathrooms, single beds pushed together and your own duvet....THAT is the key to a happy marriage.....even separate houses maybe. Nomore what snow????

ike1 · 10/02/2013 23:09

Dont worry about the snow NoMore...we'll get the 3B's and Voice out there with shovels at the crack of dawn.

Nomorepain · 10/02/2013 23:10

ike you serious about snow? It's been snowing since about 6pm here and predicted to carry on all night. Soooooooooo fed up of it.

I'm so fed up of it that I am blaming the snow for why I've just cut myself a big slice if baileys and choc cheesecake out of the fridge. Man it tastes amazing!!!!! Even better eating it in bed!!

Nomorepain · 10/02/2013 23:11

Are the 3b's on board? It's been so quite from them (except Bant today) for ages....

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2013 23:12

Voice, yeah but you can get a bit of personality in an hour.....

We also have snow. Window cleaner offered to come and keep me warm. I suggested he try push ups instead.

ike1 · 10/02/2013 23:13

oooh let me check the forecast...enjoy that cheesecake Nomore, one of the great things about being single is that there is noone to complain about the crumbs in the sheets...

ike1 · 10/02/2013 23:14

No only rain for us...

VoiceofUnreason · 10/02/2013 23:16

watch - for me, it takes more than an hour or two to get the measure of a person and whether I like them enough to want to go to bed with them. But others feel differently; there's no right or wrong and nor would I judge people who are happy to jump into bed with someone that quickly.

Did he ask if you would be lying underneath him while doing the push ups?

ike1 · 10/02/2013 23:17

Bill popped by yesterday Nomore
