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 tried this topic before and it got locked so I hope they keep this one open![]()
:shock: Can't see why they would! :cry:
Using samples of fab ( but very expensive! ) wallpaper from the DIY store and 3 gorgeous fabric picture frames I'd picked up in a charity shop, I now have lovely and very unique pictures on my bedroom wall![]()
very cheeky I like that one! :thumbup:
DIY is my passion so I'll be back to this

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?

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. ;-)

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

Fruits and potatoes were imported to this country they were not grow as a natural food supply younders ago

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

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.

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.
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.
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.

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?

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.

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!

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.
