When I first joined the site there was a rule laid down by the site when using the chat rooms that people had to ask in the open room if it was ok to whisper someone. The site then got rid of the rule without many members at the time being aware.

Slapton Sands
Well, the naturist beach in the middle of the bloody British "summertime" to be specific. It's somewhere Neil used to beg to go as he loved just laying there basking in the sun, pottering down to the sea and having a little swim before walking back up to chatter away to me or reading our books. Happy memories.
So, why is it one place that makes you feel miserable?
I shall tell you. Fear not, there are reasons. Damn good reasons (and not just because I miss Neil and it holds happy memories that make me cry to think we won't have them again)...
It's a bloody boulder beach, so no glamorous strolling up and down, no, it's more like lolloping, lob-sided while you collect stones in your shoes that you can't get rid of and then catching an unsuspecting toe on the side of a rock you didn't see while you were busy juggling wind breaks and trying not to loose to gravity totally as you just know I'd knock myself out then having to explain to our 'nillas why I was unconscious on the nudist beach. We're not talking Baywatch. Oh no, far from it.
The nudist area seems 10 million miles away from where you have to park the car and lug all the nuddie beach paraphernalia down to the best spot. It's out of the way, quite rightly, to protect innocent passers by from seeing me looking like something from a horror film, curled up, to try to prevent ships running off course due to the light bouncing from my highly reflective, and slightly blue tinged, body of exposed skin! *shivers* Brrrrrr! :lol: Apparently getting dressed is not in the spirit of things and isn't really allowed on nudist beaches.
In all the bumper pack of stuff brought along there is never anything that accounts for the fact the nudists next door have a better bumper pack of stuff than you. We have a windbreak, a couple of beach mats, a cool box (not that this would have been needed, I'm sure my skin could have helped out), and a bag with bits n bobs in like a book to read, suncream (Ha! As if that's needed!) etc. The nudists next door turn up with a set of colour co-ordinating windbreaks, a mini tent, a wheely BBQ with attached chiller, a set of loungers with detachable pillows, some fairy lights to decorate their windbreaks and a chandelier for the posh tent.... and most importantly, a blanket for if it gets a bit chilly. So, what happens then is we have to go look for extra stuff to lug along the bouldery surface and end up with so much kit I feel like I am training to go into the army! :lol: And if you've dragged the things on the approximated 10 million mile hike away from the car, you have to get it back there too.
Oh, and then there are the peeping toms with binoculars in the hedge row bushes at the back of the beach. Great if you like that kind of thing and look a little bit handsome sprawled out, all bronzed, glowing on the pebbles, looking relaxed and feeling sexy. Not great if you're feeling like the 'Blue Man Show' might give you an audition for their next theatre tour, could cut glass with your nipples and can no longer wiggle the recently nearly broken toes to the point where you think they may have actually fallen off and provided a small mammal with a meal! :lol:
And then, it rains. :?
Bloody miserable!
Fun times. Yeah. Fun times indeed. :lol:
LG. x

Quote by Max777
Personally I don't think the amount we have sent/pledged/spent at this time to aid the people of the disaster is anywhere near enough.
We have funds held in accounts specifically for this purpose, our aid fund is there to give aid around the world when needed, it's use at this time will have no effect on the UK economy.
These "foreigners" need our help and should get it.
I also doubt that the report I heard on Channel 4 News was the result of FB or Twitter, I am still more inclined to believe it was an error by an individual or individuals at Channel 4.
I don't doubt that some would then use that error to their own needs and for racist gain.

I'll admit defeat.
Ive briefly searched BC, CH4, ITV and SKY yet I can't find any reference to any cars or computers? It just keeps saying water, blankets, food, shelter etc as you would expect
Are you sure you don't mean those that are needed by the aid team themselves?

Quote by MidsCouple24
Yes the Philipinnes, desperate for clean water, tented accommodation, food aid, medicine and so much more, so I am quite dumbfounded to hear on tonights Channel 4 news that Britain has pledged 6 million pounds of aid, to wit cars and computors are winging their way to the disaster area as we speak. Cars and Computors ?

Stoptober
Id like to ask if anyone else is trying to stop smoking with the help of the Stoptober Campaign. Id really like to give up and i know its easier if others are giving up at the same time and supporting each other through the cravings and all that malarkey.

We prefer them younger due to Mrs T's fantasy of shagging younger guys.
it's amazing how many people cant grasp the concept betwixt being younger and looking younger

It's only a few minutes of your day this year, so please remember the men and women that have died and been injured for our country.
You may argue and disagree at times, not least about the causes of war, but this is not the time or the place.
We shall be at the Exeter ceremony with our children tomorrow; We hope you will be replicating us elsewhere.

Quote by Godot
So, as a new single guy to this site I have been browsing the pages and sometimes posting. This place has a story section which makes me happy! But obviously I'd like to stop lurking at some point and actually meet people (best way to learn is to do etc). I know that the absolute worst thing I can do is crawl onto other people's computer screens drooling and leering, so I suppose its really two questions:
1. Which is a better way to introduce yourself, signing up for a big meet/event and chatting face to face or hanging out in the chatrooms online and building up a group of people who feel comfortable with you around?
2. Do people tend to message someone they like and meet up offline first (i.e. for coffee!), or is there a sort of ongoing video conference between loads of people for a few months and then people pair off and go their seperate ways as and when it suits them?
Yes I've seen the adverts for meetings, but it kind of looks like jumping in feet first would only lead to mistakes and frustration. I want a handle on what goes on here before jumping straight in (which is weird, because thats like the opposite of what you have to do outside, but never mind). So, any advice?

I am sure there are a lot of fans of the fantasy threads, not for me, I don't watch or read porn, I like the real thing or a nice movie on Sky
I like the threads that invoke thought and the threads that teach me something new

Quote by Cubes
I'm afraid in my mind this woman is getting exactly what she wants. The fact that she's now come out in support of it means they should pull the stunt and replace her with someone else.
She has failed at attracting celebrity in other ways, so she uses controversy to further her career.... and it's working. Her televised spats with Holly Willoughby are infamous, and are the main reason she keeps getting repeat appearances on that morning show.
I don't for a second believe she actually lives by her own public creed. I'm willing to bet that if someone with an obese child called Tyler offered her a TV show she'd adopt him as her kid's BFF.
Let's face it, if she was a nobody and she came in here with her over the top views, we'd just label her a troll and do our best to ignore her. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way in the media.
