Seeing my wife (in the days when I was married) having sex with another guy was a total turn on. In subsequent relationships, the more emotionally involved I was, the bigger the turn on. I've never understood why. Strange.
I have a small car. I sometimes get tailgated. I never do more than 50mph, even on a motorway. I save a lot of fuel that way. If anyone comes up behind me they can wait. And if they persist in tailgating me then I slow down a bit and they wait even longer.
I remember years ago, in a nursing home I worked in, two people in their 80's starting a sexual relationship. The chap involved even asked one of the male carers if he would go into town and get some condoms for him. Most of the staff thought it was wonderful that this elderly resident was so thoughtful.
I think it would be nice to have a perpetual joke thread. One that would contain nothing but jokes one after the other. It could be an openly flippant thread. If anyone wanted to take issue with a joke posted, they could PM the poster or open it in a more "serious" new topic.
I'm sure it would be an antidote to some of the bad feeling that goes on here sometimes.

Just got rid of a camper van this year. I do miss it. I'd go anywhere there was a coast path to walk. I love scrambling up rugged coast paths and then getting back to the van and drinking gallons of tea, munching tonnes of digestive biscuits whilst reading from a great pile of books I'd taken on holiday with me.
Wonderful stuff!
My all time favourite is "Miracle in Rome". A Mexican film. Only seen it once. That was in 1988. Spanish with English sub titles. The stunning ending has had a lasting impact on me to this day. I've tried to get it on dvd but it's not been produced for area 2. Anyone else here seen it?
Others are : Master and Commander

Lots of others. Too many to put down.

I did without a telly for years. I've only got one now because my sister buys me a tv license as a birthday prezzie each year. Might tell her to stop as there's so much rubbish on the box. Sure, there are some good things on that I would find interesting. But they seem to be few and far between these days. I accept it's a personal taste thing. When Wales goes digital in 2010 I wont be bothering with it. Got plenty of books here I can get stuck into and there's always iPlayer for those good documentaries.
Look at myself in the mirror.
A lovely warm scarf a friend has knitted me for my birthday. I'm really touched by it and will treasure it.
Radio 4 and the World Service when I cant sleep at night. I rarely listen to music on the radio. Strange since I'm a musician for a living. Perhaps that's why.
Have to agree with Tune. Some of my most shattering moments were when my last lover and I were staring into each others eyes and sharing a long long kiss during penetration. It didn't matter if she was on top of me or I was on top of her. She felt the same way too. It's incredibly exciting and intimate.
It's lovely here too. All the changing colours and textures and the smell of the season change coming from the damp earth. Wonderful stuff. I've just got my old Rayburn ready for it's first fire of the autumn. Might take myself off to the Black Mountains for a stroll. I'm lucky they're only a few miles from me.
Then come back and chop up some veg and make a nice soup. Lovely!
Sitting propped up in bed between 6 and 9 a.m. reading a good book and having a cuppa. Heaven!
I went out and bought that "101 hits from the 50's". Some of my earliest memories that I can recall are musical. It was lovely hearing many of the songs again.
The other thing I'm listening a lot to at the mo is Thomas Morley's " It was a Lover and his Lass ". Though I wasn't around when that first came out!
In the 70's I had a 650 Bonny. A dream to ride. You cant beat that throaty throb of a british bike. My ex wife and I went up to the Hebrides on it for a holiday . Would you believe it got us back in a single day! Isle of Skye to London. My balls and willy were numb as death! We rode for 2hrs then stopped for 10 mins all the way back down. That was the hardest riding I've ever done. She was a gorgeous machine. I often think of her even now and hope someone has still got her on the road.
A huge plate of steamed spinach and nothing else does it for me. Yum!
I started turning grey at university as a mature student. It's now silvery white. And very thick. Always had a thick mop of hair. I wouldn't dream of changing it. Sometimes I feel I'd like to grow it again down past my shoulders just like I used to have it. And grow my ever whitening beard down onto my chest.
Then I can look like Walt Whitman. :thumbup:
I've had a huge plate of steamed vegatables followed by a couple of oranges. The Swiss Chard was the best I've ever tasted.
I usually make a big mush of barley, lentils,peas or various beans, onions,garlic,herbs, root vegatables, leafy ones and pasta, olives. Cook it all in a big cast iron pot. Then scoff the lot.
