[hostesswithleastest]

Oops that title may have put off newcomers :D

Anyway.... the old thread is dead long live the new!

[KinNora]

That sounds testing Snape ...

[scrazy]

Kin re Ike.

[lovelybunchofcoconuts]

Oh Snape no, no, no.
How is he with germy stuff?
If you contracted a fake stomach bug would that get rid of him?
Icky smell in his bed?
Fake fumigators appointment?
Does anyone have a sex mad, leg humping dog they can lend you? I may be clutching at straws here

At very least I would be asking for the gig money so you can feed his kids for the next few days.

Can't Ike just be back on under a different name/email address?

[Bant]

I vote to reinstate ike, but my position is tenuous at times, given that I, y'know, disagree with people in an insulting way some times, by pointing out how ridiculous they're being.

Also Snape, can't you charge him bed and board?

[Snapespeare]

I've said if he's staying until Tuesday he'll need to buy food for himself...

He's just asked if we have any salmon!

Told lovely nameless, who is lovely.

[Snapespeare]

He's not getting a bed! he can have the sofa.

If things get too irritating, I can ship out to namelesses.

[Bant]

Charge him sofa and salmon then. It would work out about the same.

[KinNora]

Lovely I don't know if she can come back with a different email address, I'd assume so but the impression I get is that she was pretty unimpressed by the whole farcical series of events so might not be over keen to re-join (and apologies, Ike , if I'm putting words in your mouth and misrepresenting your viewpoint).

You being all peacocky again Bant ?

[lovelybunchofcoconuts]

Kin then fair enough, I get it - but she is missed.

[Snapespeare]

I miss ike too

[Bant]

I'm not sure if its morally wrong to shake my tail feather at you whilst doing a scooby doo impression, Nora

[MirandaWest]

I miss Ike. And find it hard to understand why other posters have been allowed to stay.

(And Bant I noticed you being v restrained on a thread with one of them recently and being turned on for what I could see was just because of who you are iyswim).

Snape that would drive me mad. 36 hours with ok ish XH was nearly enough to kill me tbh.

[49howdidthathappen]

Its difficult Snape my mum took us every sunday to see my dad ( so he could play Mr Bountiful during those few hours) and he never paid a penny in maintenance.

I may have told my mum and 2 of her carers my plans for tonight. Oops!

Kin He has too many faults to list But plenty of good stuff too.

Aw come on Ike It aint the same without you.

[Bant]

Does ike Facebook? (Yes I know I'm using it as a verb) I can't remember. The vaguely planned thread meeting might be fun for her, I can't remember where she is

[49howdidthathappen]

We can have Soreen....

[Snapespeare]

I spent years driving them 25 miles and back (including on xmas day) so they could spend time with him and OW because he'd lost his licence due to drunk driving and never received a penny in petrol money.

They've all gone out for a walk to the shops. I'm watching antiques roadshow. Might have a glass of to dull my ire.

[49howdidthathappen]

As long as its not Butterscotch!

[Bant]

And miranda yes I learned a while ago that some people will never accept impartial advice as just that.

The problem is, seemingly everyone complains about how men or, in general, young people these days have a sense of entitlement. And then they complain that they have a problem with the world, with dating or something else, and the world doesn't change to suit them..

I'm a scientist. I'm not a very good one, but I'm passionate about what I do, and science in general, and one of the things you learn early is: look for the common theme. If I date for 5 years and always complain that the women are too tall, maybe it's that I have unreasonable expectations, or maybe it's just that I'm too short. In England I was almost always taller than the women I met - here it's only half the time. Personally I prefer to be a bit taller than them because I feel weird looking upwards when kissing.

So I can either only date shorter women, or I can buy platform shoes or I can move to Japan. Or England.

What I shouldn't do is complain over and over again about how tall the women are. The common theme is me being too short. So I try and work out how to fix it.

If I never get to sleep with anyone, no matter how many women I meet, then I should at some point have a tiny speck of introspection and realise that the common issue for all those women, who presumably are not celibate, is me. Maybe it's my aftershave, my clothes, my sense of superiority or the fact that I keep calling them 'snookums' on a first date - could be any of the above. Until I realise the problem may be with me, and my expectations, I'm never going to fix my problem

Ah well, it's been nice chatting to all of you. I'm going to go socialise with the young'uns and try to stop that DramaQueen from poking me again

[Bant]

Wine. I wasn't talking about anyone posting on the thread. It was just a generalised hypothetical discussion about dating behaviour and myopia.
