What I have found is, if anyone sends you an invite to a private gallery then anyone that had previously send you an invite comes up too. So it could have been someone you sent am invite to some time back and since long forgotten.
Just an idea, don't know if others have had this happen.

Quote by benrums0n
Smug is the kinda word that folk use to describe others. So if somebody is proud of an achievement or satisfied with their life others are inclined to call them smug.
Its very similar to arrogant which is frequently used to describe others who are able or intelligent.

I agree, but also I think we can feel smug about ourselves and our own achievements especially if someone doubted our ability, would that be arrogance?

Well here we have some conclusive proof, that sex is good for you.
Staying in of an evening not only saves you money in these hard times, but you can stay fit and live longer too.
All you need is a willing partner, or in a swingers case.....partners, and judging by this report, if you do live longer you will also be much happier.
As the credit crunch bites, are more people staying in, and if so what are people doing with their evenings?
After we have " entertained ", I feel much fitter, and mrs777 certainly does. It works for us, but does it work for others?

I feel knackered you can't be working hard enough! lol
I am thinking of decorating my house but are also thinking of ways to save money but still making it look nice.
Tips I have used before:
I painted the light fitting in my living room with a pot of paint bought from a art shop for instead of buying new fittings.
Bought an extra quilt cover to make curtains in the childrens bedroom to have matching bedding and cutains.
Buy a small pot of a coloured paint in a darker colour I wanted for the walls and mixed it with white paint which is a lot cheaper way that having a colour mixed in a shop.
I then used different shades to hand paint a border or bought a couple of tester pots and then designed my own border design with acetate.
These are a few ideas.
I might be back with others
Do you have any money saving ideas or tricks of the trade you can add?
Do you have any handy money saving tips?

I would like to be in your mind for a day I couldn't cope with any more than that! lol
Quote by Cubes
If there's anything in this, I would think it's not so much a case of going back in time to see what this country produced, but more what your country of origin produced. For example, someone with Italian ancestry would surely be better off on a mediteranian diet?
In fact, the more I think about this, the more sense it makes. If you consider that the 'ancients' were mostly non-nomadic, then the evolutionary process would selectively weed out those who had an adverse reaction to the local produce, thus those who survived would have been better suited to that diet.
Well it makes sense to me. ;-)

Yes cubes you are right, take the chinese for instance they have longer intestines which helps in the digestion of rice.
Quote by Lost
sex should be having the ability to be able to open up and say what you enjoy. Without the other knowing both could be missing out having good sex

Sometimes sex is just a shag though biggrin
yes there are times for a quickie rolleyes
but I still dont fake it, might have to sort myself out after but I would say. lol
Quote by noladreams30
Fruits and potatoes were imported to this country they were not grow as a natural food supply younders ago wink

We have always had fruits in this country.
Maybe not tropical ones like bananas etc. granted, but c'mon Minxy, the rolling orchards, woodlands and hedgerows of this little island of ours have always been chock full of fruits.
What do you think the hunters and gatherers of days of yore survived on?
sorry my mistake hubby said some fruits not citrus etc. but berries apples pears plums are ok?
Quote by Sarah
I have been talking to a friend here over time about a diet, I have since read a few articles and have seen a few programme about it too.
It can be known by a lot of different names but basically you go back to what your country originally produced, which here is mainly
Meat
Fish
Vegetables
Nuts
Eggs
There are a few other things in the list
Cutting out
Bread
Dairy
Rice
Pasta
Potatoes
Fruit
Beans
I have spoken to my hubby about it over months and now he has decided that it all makes sense so he researched it and is going to give it a try starting tonight.
Can we really cut out so much from our normal diet and really have a decent meal?
I am struggling to think of enough recipes to full fill his needs.
Bear in mind I am letting him be the guinea pig, hence why I planted the seed.
I don’t know if I could cut out so much from my diet, I think a balance is ok.
Could you survive on the list?
Any suggestions of meals would be greatly appreciated, I am not a bad cook but I need ingredients.

I don't understand why fruit and spuds are cut out, do we not grow them in this country, am I missing something here?

I think anyone who does fake an orgasm, is a " fake " themselves.

Hmmm... now does this mean there should be an extra tick box on the verification system?! :giggle:
I'll maybe come back to the rest when I get home but in the meantime, unless this is Mrs Kent posting, then you'd never know whether it was faked or not! wink
rotflmao rotflmao rotflmao whoops sorry bolt
Quote by kentswingers777
Sometimes it is MUCH better to " be cruel to be kind " Or it could also be called " tough love ".
Sorry but I feel sorry for people who have to fake it, for whatever reason. Thats not sex, thats bollox. cool

I do understand what you are trying to say, but it is in the wording you choose, people that fake it for whatever reason do so for their own reasons at the time.
I am fortunate not to have to have done it, and I don't mind speaking up for myself and letting the person know, I do feel some might for many reasons not have the abilty to be able to do that, it is a shame as I see sex should be having the ability to be able to open up and say what you enjoy. Without the other knowing both could be missing out having good sex
Quote by capricornten
two nones here. you need a poll and set it against some data held by the government.
That will prove it one way or another.

love this one, as a quite sad government statistical freek I have to say that as far as I'm aware we've never collected any data on wether citizens of this country are swingers or not!
Memo to gordon?
I say go for it! lol
Also ask to poll if swingers are more likely to be drinkers too, that will save us doing it. Thanks wink
Quote by Resonance
The problem is not giving at all.
It is assumptions.
Some people assume the worst of folk, others assume the best, most are probably somewhere in between.
Those who see the worst in folk see people who do give as being, as was stated before "a mug". Because of course they know best, they know that every beggar is a drug user, or a con artist. They know 19 out of 20 beggars actually have a fantastic life and spend the money on casual drugs, penthouse suites and an executive box at Chelsea games. They know that they are not giving one penny of their hard earned money to someone who is frankly, in their eyes, abusing the trust of others and is a work shy layabout who could easily improve their situation if they chose to do so.
Alternatively there are those people who see that given the current financial climate, the systematic financial ruination of a generation by greedy corporations, banks and businesses and the fact that people have less these days than they have had for a long time, or who have come from tragic backgrounds of neglect, abuse, drug use, illness or any number awful things, that perhaps there are people on the streets, amongst the con artists, who may need a bit of change now and then to get themselves a drink, or a bite to eat.
It must be so wonderful to be so clear thinking and have utterly perfect judgement in such matters. I for one don't. It is never as simple as some people or newspapers love to make out.
The world is not black and white, it's shades of grey.
I do not know if I would have given to the lady or not. In the past I have ignored beggars, and I have also given cash or food to them based on my judgement and financial situation at the time. But I know one thing, the world is a better place for those willing to help others out, than it is for those who turn a blind eye or who decry them and try to ignore them and make ill-informed assumptions and snap judgements as to why they are in the situation they are in.
Gandhi said "You must be the change you want to see in the world." It is very easy to say. Not so easy to do.
That isn't "rubbish". It's called altruism. This is not liberalist thinking, it is trying to be fair, whilst also trying to weed out those abusing that trust.
By the same rational as ignoring all beggars, should we not give to Live Aid because some of the money may not be used for starving kids and may go, perhaps to despot governments and warlords? Should we not support our troops in Afghanistan, because the taxes we pay may instead be spent on ludicrous MP expenses? I'm sure the money given to Children in Need ends up in the hands of a few businesses along the line, should we not give to that either? Cancer charities pay an awful lot for their drugs and equipment for research etc, should we not give to them because in the end it all ends up in the bank accounts of large and occasionally ethically dubious pharmaceutical companies?
In the end, beggars, like you and me, are human too. Whether they are drug addicts, con artists, or not. They deserved to be treated as human beings, rather than discriminated against because of their situation and a pre-conceived idea that they are all liars, cheats and con artists.
It isn't easy weeding out those in genuine need from the con artists. But it is a sad day when a simple, basic humanitarian effort, is deemed to be the action of a mug or fool.
I think every case should be judged individually and on merit, evidence available at the time and your own individual criteria. I also feel that people should not be mocked, and their beliefs called "rubbish" simply because some people choose to see their gesture of benevolence in a different way. They may be mugs, but they've proven they care. It may only be 20p to spend on a Chelsea season ticket, but they've proven they have a semblance of humanity and understanding. Which is worth a great deal more.
The day these people don't matter, is the day we don't either.

wow what a speaker!
I would vote for you any day! worship worship worship
Quote by kentswingers777
I would probably have given something if I had it.
Maybe I am a mug, but I am of the opinion that I would rather be taken for a fool 100 times than pass up the chance to genuinely help someone once.
If it is a scam, it makes no difference to me anyway – I have handed over the money already so what it is spent on will not affect me. I do however have a warm feeling that I have tried to help someone. This is worth the price of a magazine anyday.

That being the case, why not do what I do every month and donate to a registered charity?
At least you know with something like cancer research, where the money is going. It certainly makes me feel good every month, and I have donated now for nearly 16 years.
I think a lot of people give to charities, the thread was aimed at a situation that you have to think on your feet if to give or not.
I think giving to charities is given under different circumstances.

Mind you which one of these are " FAKING IT "

Exactly so how do you know you have never been duped? wink
If you had met me, you would not need to ask that question. wink wink
I might just fake it, if I did!
Just to show it can be done wink

Ermmm.......
To quote somebody who has replied on this thread " I have - lots. I was young and had never actually had good sex ".
Or as somebody else has said " yup... many times.
Needs must when the people are pap and all that ".
Would one say that is a confidence issue?
Minxy whilst it is very easy for you to say it could be a confidence issue, as you have already stated, it has not happened to you, so with respect how would somebody know if it has not happened to them. Or would that be a guess? wink

No guess, lets just say ladies talk! wink
I did a thread about this some time ago, as a conversation came up when my mum took ill, but she is doing fine at the moment fingers crossed.
I believe people should have a choice, but that choice should be made when the person is able to give their wishes.
My mum didn't want to get to a stage whereby all her basis needs were dependant on others, she wanted to keep some dignity.
It is a shame that to choose for this to happen we have to go abroad and then possiblily suffer the consciences on return.
Lucky for us this hopefully has been put off for a while, but feel, for the people that have no other options.

Why put up with faking? Why not just be honest and tell the other person, that they are shite and do something about it?
Never understood why people would lie there and pretend. Thats called shit sex, and nobody should have to put up with that, and if they do then they are the losers.

Losers??? Have you thought maybe it could be a confidence issue, rather than being called a loser?
Quote by Mrsgoggins
I haven't cried at a film for a while, but just before Christmas I watched Felon.
The tears flowed! :cry:
I never expected such a film to do that, came as a real suprise.
The last one before that was about a robot boy that wanted to feel love by a mother, I watched this with my 12 year old son. We were both sobbing after.
The name escapes me!

Think the film you described is called A.I. (as in Artificial Intelligence). It made me cry too.
:thumbup: thats the one Thanks!
Quote by DeeCee
How do any of us know what this womans circumstances were?... or whether she paid for a ticket or not? or who she approached or not?
I see this situation this way....
Its not the amount, or generally the recipient......its the giving that counts.
All I know, is that if i would have been there and given the woman 20p... i would feel better within myself, that someone who refused to give based on supposition or feelings of greed, selfishness and feelings of self-importance.

Would you still feel the same IF that money was going to feed a drug habit?
Would you feel " better within yourself " if you found out that you had unwillingly helped her to feed a habit?
Or would you still have given? Not knocking you at all, just asking your opinion.
Giving charity for me is heavily (but not exclusively) about helping others less fortunate and helping to improve the quality of their life... whatever their problems, drugs or otherwise.
I myself am lucky because I can spare a bit of change for a beggar..and accordingly, whilst I wouldnt buy anyone a fix... i would generally help "towards" their "comfort".....
I see it as a "gift" to my fellow man/woman who is in a less fortunate position than me.
Dee just to clarify as I think what you have said makes good reasoning.
Would you still give to a person even if you suspected that drugs were the reason, as to make them more comfortable as we don't know the reason that drove them to it.
Because that was my dilemma I didnt want to give as to feel i was aided her adiction if that is what she had. But would have given to make someone feel more comfortable, if that makes sense.
Yes I would still give.... but as I say, I wouldnt give them enough money to buy drugs outright. As i have said, I might give them a few cigs or money towards hot drink/food.
I think we can rest assured that the reasons why people are driven to hard drugs such as heroin are generally bad ones .... what is more important to me, is that once they are hooked, their quality of life deteriorates , and kicking their addiction becomes both a mental and physical challenge that many are too weak to face and eventually conquer.
If she had an addiction and cumulatively she collected enough to buy a fix...to be fair, perversely, her situation would in-fact be made more comfortable.... as heroin affects the bodily chemicals that cause well-being
I wouldnt have let doubts in respect of the unknown circumstances stand in the way of helping what was immediately before me......Giving a pound to this woman wouldnt have aided her addiction.... if she had one in the first instance.
Thanks Dee,
As I said in the op I didnt feel good not giving, as I have before, but did feel it was for a habit by the way she looked. I couldn't justify my actions if I would have given within myself.
But you have made total sense to me.
Thanks Dee!
