Stu of the "hope I didn't piss you off too much" variety!!!!!!
Totally dismayed at the number of posts supporting Cold Play..all I can say is OH MY GOD what are you guys on.....f*****g inane or what. Hang on I gotta go watch the paint dry in my newly decorated bedroom....one swallow does not make a summer (or some saying to that efffect!!!!!)

The scene from The Office series one where Gareth, Finchy,David and Tim go out clubbing in Slough. We think it is a classic episode (classic series too) many funny parts but for some reason the following scene get us howling.
Gareth is getting it on with a woman, and he notices a man watching them and asks what his problem is. The woman says its ok thats my husband, do you fancy coming back to ours . Gareth proclaims he will not do it infront of another man and storms off saying no way. The bit that really cracks us up though, is at the end of the episode, you see a glimpse of Gareth leaving in the side car of the couples' motor bike with a scared, shocked and horny look on his face. That look never fails to make us laugh no matter how many times we see it, partly because we are swingers and it involves a swinging couple, but mostly because Gareth's look at the end is just classic and the whole incident is never referred to again throughout the series.
Im not doing it the justice it deserves.........so go and watch it!!!!!
Also from The Office:
Gareth says to Tim:
"He's put my stapler in a jelly again, he knows I hate jelly, I dont trust the way it moves!"
Gareth says to Tim about Finchy:
"He's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?"
Love Fran

Well said Sarge!!!
From another perspective we are a couple who spent a long term wording, rewording, editing and updating our ad on here. It has changed a number of times over the months we have been SH members. At a glance many of the changes won't be immediately obvious, yet the ad has changed significantly. The pics we posted thereon were carefully chosen, resized and offer a very clear indication of what Fran looks like.
We also have a website on here, again this took time, effort, thought and imagination, and on top of this it also took someone elses time, effort, thought and imagination to turn our idea into a fun website (thank you Fred ). We added a number of pics to the site, spending time taking them, choosing them etc.
We added the link to our ad so that it is clickable from any of our Forum postings, we registered our nick for the chat room with our ad number clearly on it.
So, phew, finally my point, we as a couple have spent much time, energy and effort in being clear about who we are, what we are looking for and to a certain extent what we look like. When those famous one liner "wanna shag, I have a moster cock" e mails/pm's come through, we spend as much effort on them as did the respondee, ie right click and delete. When someone takes the time to compose a message to us, tell us a little about them and even send a face pic (as requested in the ad) then we take a hell of a lot more notice.
Our response may still be a polite "thanks but no thanks", but those who make the effort are gonna get taken far more seriously and considered than those who don't. I have to add that single guys aren't the only ones guilty of the approaches discussed above, we have had our fair share of couples too! So come on folks, read the ads carefully, see what the people really have to say for themselves (don't just look at the pics and think yeah I could shag that...one liner on its way) and compose a response like a civilised adult.
Bloody hell, a lot to say there, I know it won't stop the usual suspects (Sun readers I'm told ) but just a thought from the "other" side lol.
Cheers
Stu of the "Fran and..." variety.

Just kidding really...Love that movie too!
Oh Bugga...you are right...I noticed a few others too...
Tony Blair and his Government
Michael Howard and HM Opposition
Charles Kennedy and the Bermuda Triangle (aks Lib Dems)
The Sun newspaper journo's
.....the list is too long...there is no sci-fi...just our ignorance at the Big Brother mainframe ( or is that just shit reality tv?...err,mm...YES!!)
I feel like I am an extra in THX1138 or Clockwork Orange...HELP HELP.... (said Penelope Pitstop).....
Oh No....Jenny Agutter has just turned the corner with Buck.......is it all a dream?????

The film is the film....to me the film is like any film of the novel...."what about .....?????" lol
Can I buy you a drink Ice Pie...we need to enjoy a chat together.....
Stu
Of course its real sci-fi...its real isn't it?
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Byron...thank you...you too appreciate Connery's sadism...true to the original character..and Brosnan has that too...cold blooded killer (see Tomorrow Never Dies)...oh how I love this character..lol
Stu of the " Fran &..." variety.
Ok, so what is your favourite James Bond movie and why?
For us it has to be "Tomorrow Never Dies"... We know, We know it's not a Connery one, but we just love the action in it and Jonathan Pryce is a fab villain, plus Fran does like a bit of old Pierce Brosnan, and the babes aint too bad too!!!
BUT
We love ALL the Connery ones too, and don't mind the Roger Moore ones (or Dad as we know him...pm us for details..lol). Timothy Dalton was just never gonna settle to the role whilst he was still playing Shakespeare characters...(Will, did you have a hand in his decision to leave the franchise?)
HOWEVER,
probably most controversial of all we actually liked George Lazenby...or was it just that fab music for OHMSS???????
Tell us your faves....
