Hi Willow and welcome to SH!
Single girls are guaranteed to have a warm welcome here at SH! Ah, I remember it well, back in the days when I was a single girl! Speaking of partners, has Will fallen asleep on the sofa again?
Have fun in the forum!

Workmen in the GFZ? Isn't that an oxymoron? This I have to see!

PS: Could someone please give Arti a very large glass of merlot?
Kinky, your penchant for animations has taken a distinctly gross turn - and isn't very constructive either. Very yuk!
prcd4u - you'll find that on the whole dick pics aren't popular. The ladies would rather have a facial or torso shot.

Harry, you do resemble Nigel Davenport - and believe me that is a compliment! As for Will - yes he does resemble his namesake so very much!
I have been variously compared with Rita Tushingham and Greta Garbo. The Tushingham reference was made by a bloke at a bus stop who then went on to describe how, as an assistant manager, he'd emptied an entire hotel of guests and staff on a suspected bomb alert - because someone in dark glasses had walked into the foyer carrying a briefcase. The person in dark glasses with the briefcase turned out to be a hotel inspector for a travellers' guide. The hotel didn't get the rating it was hoping for. This guy was definitely wierd which begged the question - why do I get the wierdos at bus stops?
I much prefer the Garbo reference.

Education is a touchy subject. Learning is close to my heart yet I hated school - a Maltese Catholic nursery school run by nuns, three junior schools and three comprehensives.
The quality of the education I received at each of these establishments was variable to say the least but I ended up with four O levels and three A levels. I didn't get a Maths qualification until after my first degree - which incidentally was in Art History. Then I did an
My experiences of education caused me to assess my daughter's very critically. She is getting the best education that money can buy - literally. And it's worth every penny.
As for the state of the English language in the kingdom today... don't get me started! Too late, I've begun! I've been a GCSE examiner and I wielded the right to add or subtract 5% of a student's marks for spelling, puncturation and grammar. Invariably I subtracted. Then I tutored a friend's daughter who, though reasonably bright, didn't care one way or the other. She blithely repeated to me that her English teacher said spelling and grammar didn't matter. Her parents had to scrape me off the ceiling.
In fact language is so important to me I became a proofreader. I will freely admit that 'textspeak', bad spelling and sentence structure which is purely attributable to laziness is absolute anathema to me. I wouldn't denigrate anyone for their poor writing skills if they were genuinely making an effort, but those that 'cannot be arsed' are at the bottom of the evolutionary chain in my opinion.
Rant done! Oooh, I do feel better now!

The x-ray of Darth Vader proved conclusively that he was a baddie of very little brain
The Sarge's expression was quizzical as the ladies of the GFZ made him an offer he couldn't refuse...
I think I got three clay kittens - they move too bloody fast!
Mmmm, thanks for this John - I think!

Have you found that contact lens yet?
Cosmetics by Makebelieve. Maybe he's born that way...
Niceguy, I've been in education, an administrator, a writer, a proofreader and a personal assistant. I have thought about retraining but I'm not sure what in.
What position do you think I should occupy? Any ideas or suggestions would be given serious thought!

I don't have a job at the moment at all - now that is a bit of an arse! Would anyone care to employ me? I'm methodical, adaptable, eager to please and happy to put my hand to just about anything. I'm sure I could dig up references from somewhere...

So naive, so easily embarrassed at eighteen! How things change...
