If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me???
Good idea, but then I wouldn't want anyone to think I was a fan - that would be way worse than people knowing I am a swinger!

I LOVE this thread!
No less than five separate people bought me 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' when it came out. Fine, I take the hint - I can be a bit overenthusiastic about punctuation issues.
But I am good in bed... does that make it OK? :lol2:
Cocoa xxx
Ditto! I am the same - even joined the "apostrophe protection society" - but I can do other things too!
Have you read "eats shits and leaves"? that's very funny :D

So many threads, and only one post to make, so I am going to sit here in the corner and talk to myself.
Mark was faced with only two choices.
1) Close the site.
2) Sell it.
Perhaps we should all just put away the sackcloth and ashes and be thankful that he was not in a situation where he only had one choice.

Good point :angel:

I don't envy your position. This must be really difficult for you.
Just go carefully, don't change things too soon and get to know everyone. You will realsie that this is a great set of people and yes it IS a very close community, but as soon as the shock wears off, I'm sure the majority f people will be accomodating and open-minded about the changes. That's what we're all about isn't it?
:welcome: Elliott and thank you for being around to answer all of our questions

Oh my goodness! :shock:
I've just got oin and looked at the news - after 2 text messages from friends on here.
It all sounds very worrying and terrible.
I am hoping that the new owners will take the time to listen to everyone here. I am hoping that they will take people's views into account. After all, if they change it too much and we all leave, that won't benefit them at all will it?
I thinkl the new owners should come to the next few munches - or maybe we should hold an open meeting or something?
Oh. I just hate this :(

Anyone else remember the Clarks shoes ad that was on in the late 70s or early 80s? (showing my age!)
Three kids chose shoes and then said what they wanted to be when they grew up. The last little girl was really precocious and said "£when I grow up, mommy says I'm going to be a proper little madam!" It was really cute.
Always reminded me of my sister - and she did grow up to be a proper little madam too!
(have always liked that emoticon but am never sure where to use it, so I'm using it now!)

Seen you on many threads
I am a newbie, see you are relatively new too but a little more advanced than I
Could really do with more friends to chat to
I am pretty outgoing but this all pushes boundaries
I hope you will be a lovely girl and get in touch,
Oh if you prefer the forum go to lets meet and look for a lovely new guy on the block ;)
Ooh looks like I've pulled!

Due to go to my first Munch next month, and I must admit i'm as nervous as hell. I remember back to Posties thread about a helping hand at your first Munch. I do hope theres one at this one.
Everyone on hear does sound fantastic and I look forward to meeting you all soon. Maybe a wee-whiskey before I go in.
With regards to the newbie thing, not a bad idea to cat before you go :idea:
Post a thread on here telling us which one you're going to and we'll look out for you x
Cocoa you have just expressed what loads of people are thinking I'm sure.
I was scared to death to go alone, so arranged to meet Naughtynympho and Sleazy, who took me under their wing and looked after me, makign sure I was OK and introducing me to people :kiss:
But it was SO great meeting you as you were in the same position as me and it is so much fun discovering the wild and wacky world of swinging together.
:happy: :happy:
I think it's a great idea to have a list of newbies, but it's also important to have someone who knows the ropes too.
I think if I had gone with another new person I may not have spoken to anyone ! The first time I went to a club, it was with a man who had never swung before either. We just stood at the bar nursing our drinks and looking scared, and that's no fun at all!
So a combination of the two would be great.
Just fantastic to meet you Cocoa honey :inlove:

The correct term for the three dots `...` at the end of a sentence is, the `elipsis`.
They`re used as a form of cliff-hanger - nb, three dots only. not two, not four - three!
Where is all this leading us? wait and see...
The dots `... `.....` in mid-sentence are called `bullets` but you knew that already. didn`t you?
Punctuation; examples:
Charles the Ist walked and talked half an hour after his head was cut off.
Charles the Ist walked and talked; half an hour after, his head was cut off.
(I should be charging for this!)
PS. There is at least, one typographical error in the above; can anyone see it?
I think I love you :inlove:

David,
Keep up the horny chat and she might come round once the subject isnt quite so 'new'. Might take a few years, mind!!! After that its like the Marmite advert, once she tries it she'll either love it or hate it.
Don't get us onto a Marmite debate again - it's been done!
You thought you could be open and free to say anything on a site like this didn't you?
You thought the site was going to be full of open-minded tolerant people?
You were absolutely right - except when it comes to punctuation!
Sorry - I'm not really aggressive, I'm sweet and angelic really :angel:
Good morning to you

Didn't understand a word of that, lol, but I do tend to abuse using three dots... to denote i'm, um... thinking or ... changing tack on summat!
Me mum always told me that if I create a list using comma's then I shouldn't use a comma prior to an "or" or an "and."
Naughty!
using an apostrophe in the wrong place when contributing to a thread about punctuation!
(Shall I shut up now?)
Quote by North Star
Sometimes in grammar, a comma before the word `and` is appropriate - but in moderation, in moderation...
(stressed twice)
There`s no need for them most of the time; the word acts as its own comma, *and I should know, after fifteen years of earning my crust as a professional proofreader...
The above* gives an example of when a comma -might- be appropriate, but there are no hard and fast rules.
Apostrophes - now they`re quite a different matter. See my correct omission of the apostrophe in `its` (para 2).
I love you :inlove:

Generally prefer to be on the receiving end actually
But spelling and grammar are a bit of a thing with me - just don't go using apostrophes in the wrong place, OK? then we'll get along fine x
I'm currently barred from pointing out spelling mistakes but .... and even though you are very very lovely Fallen Angel... I noticed something lurking in your signature...and you can point out as many errors on my part as you like... I know my grammar is rubbish. :D
