Why?? is the first word that springs to my mind.... What do they gain from it?? dunno

Identity theft springs to mind Shireen hunni.
There are so many gullible and naiive people out there. It's just a numbers game. Maybe they get 1 positive response out of 100, 500, 1000 emails sent out dunno but if they couldn't profit from it they wouldn't bother.

quite agree with you......does that mean where not going to get "this place ain't what it use to be" anymore? wink

Search me. I can only give my point of view dunno
Quote by da69ve
well there back up and running over the road now!.....just hope some of you guys remember us and come over for a visit more often and remember who gave you a roof for that time! lol

I don't buy this "them and us" attitude for the following reasons:
You don't need to be logged in and visible here in order to actually be here.
There's no requirement to have to post if you don't want to.
People make assumptions all the time about the way other people view things and most of the time they're completely wrong which is a shame because all they're doing is to propagate divisiveness.
I agree wholeheartedly with the comments that some people have made to the effect that we should all be pulling together.
Frankly it's irrelevant where anyone prefers to spend most of their time hanging out and it's certainly no one else's business so they shouldn't be critical of people's individual choices and preferences.
That's my tuppence worth anyway! wink
Excuse me...I'm sorry if my remark about asylum offended anyone. I was simply replying to a thread which was couched in cryptic language and was obviously made with full and prior knowledge of why site traffic here had increased today.
I don't have any axe to grind but thank you for reminding me why I choose to just drop in here only occasionally. Each to their own, eh?
I'd appreciate it if my response to being flamed isn't miraculously made to vanish into thin air, as has happened once or twice before.
Thank you wink
Expect some visitors but I'd be very surprised if any of them will be seeking asylum :twisted:

It is however considered by quite a few people to be good manners to share something of yourself before probing quite specific details from other people.

apologies to all if it has come across bad mannered,
Don't worry about it.....it didn't come across as bad mannered. Some people just enjoy jumping on others.......ignore it, it happens!

Glad to see you're back in the ......erm.......saddle again (so to speak) dammie :thumbup: wink

Ty Eager - but which brand/type works good as its a minefield out there redface biggrin

Well I use a Philips beauty, Satinelle super sensitive.............and it's pink! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Works for me! :rascal:
I use an epilator everywhere except on my head! lol
Um...........Kitty did use to epilate my ears for me :shock: :shock: :shock:
It takes a bit of getting used to in sensitive areas but it's worth perservering because the result is incredibly good and with time you need to do it less frequently. The hairs don't grow back bristly.......more soft and silky because they get weakened at the roots wink
I'd say go for it! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Quote by peenut
Well everybody on the road is going to want to asset their "rights" and there is nothing wrong with that, but times move on. I have every "right" to ride a horse along a public road or cycle or even walk but its being realistic about it that matters. I know I have rights but its not going to be of any help to me if I end up dead !
Modern traffic is fast, even a cheap old banger can have the power/ acceleration of a sports car of many years ago! Trucks were beasts that you would fight to get up to any speed then fight to keep in control of. Now its different. so I am different and however much I daydream the reality is its not the same traffic as yesteryear however much I pretend it is.

And that's the reality of it! :thumbup: wink
Forget about "My right to be on the road" and all that guff.........the simple fsct is there's a good place and a bad place to be trying to exercise your "Rights" :twisted:

My support to all those who have contributed.
My Number One refuses to go on Remembrance Day Parade. I'd love to see him pin his medals on and go on parade. He made an excuse in France three of four years ago when he was invited to go on their May Parade that he didn't have his medals with him. Well he can't make that excuse again because I know where he keeps them and I take them with us.
The excuse he makes to me is that he spent twelve years avoiding Parades and he's not going to start now.
It's hard to understand when there are so many people who display their pride. But I've found two references and an anecdote, a true one, that might reflect what he feels.
Two from Kipling:
"Then it;s Tommy this an' Tommy that, an' Tommy, 'ows your soul?
But it's 'the thin red line of 'eros when the drums begin to roll.!
"Oh, it's Tommy this and Tommy that an' Tommmy go away,
But it's "Thank you Mr Atkins when the band begins to play"
Now, the anecdote.
I might have this wrong so anybody feel free to correct me. About ten years ago we made a visit to Edinburgh. We thought we might visit the National Scottish War Memorial which is in Edinburgh Castle. The people at the gate insisted on a charge - I can't remember how much it was.
Tom said, "I've already paid the fee. I've served."
But they wouldn't let us in and he wouldn't pay the entrance fee. I would have paid but he wouldn't let me.
Do we deserve and truly thank our soldiers?
Mollie

Thank you for sharing that with us Mollie kiss
When the clock goes back or forward which do you prefer? To have a bit more light in the early morning (but it get's darker earlier in the afternoon) or do you like to have it the other way round?
It doesn't really make much difference to me at the start of the day as I often have to get up between and to start work early when it's dark anyway so I think I prefer having the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day.
I know there are arguments in favour of children going to school with daylight in the morning for safety reasons etc.

dunno
Quote by H-x
Are there any women out there interested in long term relationships, well there must be some that are interested in more than just a quick shag, what about some friendship as well as the fun. and some of the adds are just dam right pretentious. no one liners, no reply, no pic, delete without reading. well i know that you can write a book and still not get a reply. My recent survey shows that normal contact methods eg, a night out has more success than any dating/swinging site. Yep plenty of women, downside they dont swing and if your into having your girlfriend bulled then best to look here. but look is all i do.

When I first joined the site as a single female both my ad and profile were very friendly and not specific at all. It's only with time and an unending flow of mail from men who obviously can't or wont read that I've had to adapt my ad to be a little more, let's say, officious. I wouldn't say I'm any more picky on here than I am out in the real world, I just get more offers here. Yes there are those of us who don't want a one off and are after more than just a quick shag, you'd be surprise how hard that is to find.
H.x
I've read some stuff recently which is relevant to this. Some peeps feel that there's no place in the swinging scene for people looking for a relationship which goes beyond straightforward shagging. I don't agree with them. There are lots of friends to be made and it seems a shame to be blind to that .

Hi All,
I have been reading the forums now for a few months. What has sprung to my attention is why do a lot of the couples seems to think that they are some sort of superior beings? Offering advice, casting aspertions and being generally condescending to other people on the site (mainly single guys).
This is not a moan or a complaint from a single guy just an observation and a question?

I think that your very wrong for saying that its just couples that do this. From what i can see everyone has their fair share of nit picking at some point. I dont think that couples see themselves as superior beings at all, maybe that is just the thoughts that you have in your mind. Then again that is only my opinion, likewise you have yours. Offering advice, i think thats what most people post here to get, and as for casting aspertions and being condescending, do as i do i just ignore it. You cant really get to tied up with all the things that are said in this forum. Some quotes are taken out of context, some are encoded(mean more to some than others) and some are just general statements. So all you can do is take each post with a pinch of salt and carry on to the next. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether we agree with them or not.

Some people just seem to enjoy putting others down. It's not clever and it's very easy to do in a place like this {a website forum) Just ignore it wink
Is that the Electric Cinema? I've not been but I've heard about it. I believe that couples do go there but not sure which night(s). Think it's midweek though.
wink
What do you trucking peeps thing of the European Working Hours Directive now that we've been living with it for a while?
When I was doing European driving (before it was implemented) it was quite normal for me to be working 72 hours a week and sometimes 74, spread over six shifts (there was no overtime paid either, so I ask myself now why I lasted as long as I did doing it).
Now the Directive is law, my average hours a week, spread over 4 months is just about staying within the limits. I'm only driving in the UK now, with the occasional trip to Ireland, and the company I work for pay time and a half over and beyond the first eight hours of the day.
I thought I'd lose a lot of money because of the Directive, but in fact, beacuse I always work overtime hours each day I'm not earning very much less than I was before, although my take home pay's a lot less because I'm not getting 20 plus nights out money per month at European rates.
Anyone like to comment?
Do you mean the A500? It's been a fekkin nightmare hasn't it? :therethere: kiss

MOST truckers make me squirm... funny old world, eh??
Love lots of people!!

I've asked you to keep on topic, which was about what I percieved as a twat on a bike. If you want to have a whinge about truckers would you go and start a thread of your own somewhere else please? Thank you.

Quote by lilacgem
Cyclists do have as much right on the road as anyone else but IMHO I think they should be made to take a test before being allowed on certain roads. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can get on a cycle at any time & cause mayhem on the roads causing untold amount of accidents.

Why do truck drivers insist on overtaking on a slight incline at slow miles an hour and take up to 5 miles to do it, causing horrendous tailbacks on dual carriageways especially (A1 in my case) and then pull back in behind cos they can't get past? Now THAT'S irresponsible and selfish.
End of PERSONAL mode.
cool

If the vehicle on the inside lane is doing 35mph & the truck behind is doing 40mph they need to overtake & maintain momentum, however the weight inside the truck/tank can then cause the vehicle to loose speed hence the time it takes for them to overtake (correct me if I'm wrong here ES)
biggrin
Nope..........you're absolutely right and when we lose momentum inevitably it causes delays for all involved, cars as well as trucks. We all have to learn to share the roads together and have a bit of consideration for each other! :thumbup:
Quote by Jags
My PERSONAL view is that in this sort of situation truck drivers seem to think they own the road and all other legal users are in the way. If we all drive defensively then there shouldn't be a problem.

Quote by DeeCee
sorry eager but no sympathy here from me for you on this one.......
maybe her attitude was right........ she was getting on with it........doing her thing
nowt personal, but your still thinking about it and it was hours ago ......

lol lol lol At least I'm still alive. dunno if she is!
:grin:
Quote by RedHot
You haven't said she was actually doing anything wrong apart from being on the road confused
Maybe if the other drivers had taken a little more care and attention, they would not have had to brake so hard when they eventually noticed her? confused
As you say, she had every right to be there, so where is the problem? dunno

Yes, she had every right to be there (under the present Road Traffic Regs) but was she really being responsible or sensible in doing so, given the nature of the environment she was in? The problem really was that she was on the nearside of the road (of course) and the trucks couldn't see her until the last minute because she was masked from view by the back of the truck in front so it meant they were having to suddenly swerve to avoid her, thereby creating a knock on effect which potentially could have been disastrous. She just struck me as having an 'attitude' which came across as confrontational. Who knows? Tell you what though.......if she makes a habit of it she's living dangerously IMO.
You'd be suprised (unless you've driven a truck) how, even when you leave a safe braking distance between you and the truck in front, your forward vision of some obstruction ahead like that is masked until very late in the day. That can be compounded by someone who's too close to the one in front so has to swerve at the last second as they come into their vision. That obviously exaggerates eveyon'e reactions. Maybe that's what kicked off this chain reaction. dunno
I'm not referring to all cyclists , God forbid! :P
We all must have seen one though. I saw this recently:
I was driving on the A14 between Huntingdon and Cambridge (one of the most notoriously dangerous trunk roads in the country with a terrible accident record). Three lanes of traffic in each direction, cars and trucks thundering along. Suddenly everyone's brake lights are coming on as anchors are applied big time.
What the f**k flashes through my mind as I try to halt 26 tons of steel in a nanosecond! :shock: :shock: :shock:
It turns out to be a twat on a cycle, towing a little trailer behind her with a metal disc on an arm sticking out at a right angle from the rear of her bike. It seems to be saying "This is MY space so feck off".
Blimey!! :shock: There she is cycling blithely along, seemingly oblivious to everything else on the road, in her own little world of make believe, maybe enjoying her 15 minutes of fame dunno ........making everyone else dance to her tune rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes
Of course she had every right to be there legally but was she really behaving responsibly? She almost caused a major pile up.
Is that reckless or what?
What's your take on her? Have you seen her?

Quote by mdr2000
I think it was a fair comment.... we have met couples (yes more than one) who are scared stiff to post anything in here for the fear of being made to look or feel stupid. They have wanted to join in and ask questions of what seems to be experienced swingers but just find some a little too abrasive with there sarcastic comments.
Not all find it so easy to take on the chin and find me one person who reads every single past post before asking a question.... I have often wondered why some find it so easy to try and put others down. No ones perfect are they.

Most of this "bothers me" - but in particular, the bit I've bold'd.
I'm not putting myself forward as anything that I'm not - but my PM box is always open.
Dammie... its true! I am not putting myself forward either but I have now had several PM's from folk who say more or less the same thing.. they are scared of reactions if they go against the popular view.. Not all are new either! Nor are they from anyone who has returned from another site lol!! At times we have all done it... in one way or other, what worries me on a personal level is that we could be driving good and nice people away, thats all!
Mike

Well if I say anything I'll no doubt be accused by those who don't know me of being here "ONLY to cause trouble"! rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes
