Being an atheist I don't do Christmas at all. I do however follow the old Pagan festival of having a midwinter 'Blowfest'. I lay in a stock of booze, ciggies and food.
After a midday dinner on the 25th of December I retire early to bed with the female of my choice, accompanied by various nibbles and liquid refreshments, and spend the rest of the day enjoying myself. Sod the old films and the various quasi religious progammes and everything else. After a day of debauchary I wake up the following morning, and replenish the nibbles and booze and after a shower return to bed for another day of trying out all the various positions in the Karma Sutra.
You celebrate Christmas if you wish, I prefer my mid-winter Blowfest.. lol.

I've just got back from attending the local village War Memorial Rememberance Service. The attendance was very small, but it is a small village. There were several veterans of WW 2, Korea, and later conflicts present as their medals showed, and a few War Widows or relatives of the fallen.
The Last Post was sounded by a serving soldier, home on leave. He played with a pure crystal clarity, not a note was wrong. I noted the tears in the eyes of all these brave elderly men, who were remembering their friends and comrades who fell in action and thus are 'forever young'. As always, it was a very emotional and moving moment.
What did upset me was the fact that during this very short service, a number of 'boy racers' drove past the memorial with their car radios or CD players blasting out 'Rap or other modern 'crap music'. I must admit I wondered for a moment where their sense of respect was. Perhaps it's because modern eduction doesn't teach true history any more. it appears to be full of the modern 'politically correct' version of history instead of the truth.
I'm glad there were some at least, who turned out on this very frosty morning to say WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Ex serviceman who was fortunate enough not to be called to arms.
A moment of sanilty in here for once, thanks Olive.
I stopped my van in the middle of Consett, this morning at precisely got out and stood at attention for two minutes. A very few other drivers did the same. It caused one almighty traffic jam. I will also be at the local War Memorial on Sunday, I haven't missed that parade once in over 40 years.
If I should die, think only this of me.
That in some corner of a foreign field,
There is a place that is forever, England.
When wrote that to a friend he was thinking of his own life, I'm sure he wouldn't mind the last word being amended so as to include all the men from all our allied countries who fought in all wars.
It is unfortunate that the French don't have similar sympathies, for those of you who aren't familiar with what is happening. They are bulldozing an area of the Loos battlefield where hundreds of our troops died and were never found or recovered. They lie there still. The reason for the bulldozing? They are building a rubbish dump. I don't think the site moderators would let me say what I think of that.

In my late teens and early twenties I worked as a Gas Fitter Plumber, and during a three year period worked in several houses each day. I was offered the opportunity to visit the bedroom of a good number of these houses that I worked in, by the lady of the house.
I did so purely, I must admit, on the grounds that it was Company Policy to give the customer complete satisfaction. ( I lie. lol. I liked it as well) In that three year period I bedded at least one or two different women a month whilst at work. Several of these ladies I also saw later outside of work hours. Nearly all of them just did it because they weren't getting enough from their husbands, and some of them were real ravers in bed.
In those days the servicing of gas appliances was free of charge and I was frequently asked to go back and do some more servicing (and not just of the gas appliance).
I nearly got caught once, by a husband, when he came home unexpectedly, but managed to bluff my way out of it. Funnily enough the name of the street where this incident took place was 'The Riding.'
My tip to those who do similar work today. Always wear clean overalls, be smart and well turned out, and freshly shaved. If the lady of the house is interested you will soon be able to pick up on the signals, that she is interested. There may be a few women who like a 'bit of rough', but I never met one in the rather posher areas of the city where I worked.
In those days I was reasonably good looking, taller than most, with broad shoulders and a slim waist. Sadly, things have changed over the years, and I'm just like many another 'old geezer' today. :cry:

The last time I ws caught 'bonking' a rather delicious female by the 'fuzz' and brought to court, the magistrates threw the case out on the grounds that I was too old to be capable of such antics. How little they know. lol.

Full of useless information. lol.
Hello funinandmike,
I couldn't agree with you more. Manners maketh the man and woman, that's just as true in the Chatroom as it is elsewhere. People who cannot be bothered to take the time to get known, and participate in both the chatroom and the various forums, don't deserve a reply.
It's been several months since I moderated in the Chatroom, but these problems had already started before I retired from active participation.
In a dance hall, similar questions would get the questioner a lot of black eyes, and not many visits or nights in bed with any lady asked such questions.
The fact that a woman may be wanting sexual relations with a man, does not entitle any man to treat her like a slut. Unfortunately many men do. Women are not, in my view, to be treated like sluts if they want occasional sexual encounters with a man, and I see no reason at all why they should be treated so.
Having been a Swinger for more than 40 years. My experience is, that I have always found the best way to a ladies bed, is to be curteous, kind and appreciative of her wishes. Ladies like to be appreciated, and accepting that, has worked for me. The fact that I have been invited back again and again, to their beds, is evidence that my method works, and that the current mode of approach by many newbies, is not at all acceptable.
The men who approach ladies in the way you describe, deserve to be ignored. Hopefully they will take the hint, and leave Swinging Heaven for good. I have met many female members of S/H, some of them I have bedded, others are just good friends whom, I may be fortunate enough, to bed in the future, but in all cases I do not push my luck. Getting to know them first is a pre-requisit for far better mutual sexual pleasure.

Recently a man appeared at a Magistrates Court charged with being Drunk and Disorderly
the case having been adjourned from a previous date, so the accused could instruct his Solicitor to defend him.
Solicitor: - "Officer, will you give me your impression of the state my client was in at the time of his arrest".
Policeman: (With a very straight face) -" I don't do impressions ".
Court adjourned for 10 minutes to give the Magistrates and the rest of the court, time to stop laughing.
