train toilet (never again!)
I did there nearly twice:
First time when a train was stablised at Kings' Cross. She commented that she had never done on a train.
There a second time on they way to High Wycombe form Marylebone from a woman I met in pub there. But got rudely interrupted before we could get started.
Did the toilets stink of shit what peeved you?
the general uncleanliness, the stink, the hard surfaces and unconfortable corners..the narrow space..what else?..oh the girl was great though
child A
child C can obviously make another one, and has a talent for woodwork that probably excedes his musical talent
child B can be entertained by child A (viceversa is not possible)..learn something about music and maybe borrow the flute from him.
also, that way the flute will be put to proper use, without causing screeching noises (children can pursue making chaotic noise for no purpose at all for hours)

I find beauty in girls independently from their race.. and have been lucky enough to "sample" with some variety.
from purely an aestetic point of view, I have no favourite as I've seen some stunning beauties of virtually every colour of the rainbow.
as for bedroom matters, however, I do have a particular fascination with far east girls, chinese and japanese.
(by saying so, I'm not blowing my chances with the other girls, I hope..lol)

trouble is it's always hard to tell.
if it's somebody you know very well and know the family situation off, you might be tempted to do it, but you wouldn't, I guess, because you care abou those people and it's a cruel joke no matter what.
if it's somebody you despise for whatever reason but don't know very well...then..well, it's too easy for such a joke to go horribly wrong.
even the most stuck up arse might have problems they don't share with you or anyone else.. a sick relative who needs costly care, troubles on the job, health issues they keep shtum about.. a wad of money might bring their hopes of solving part of these issues up..
only to be crushed when the game is up.
I'm not saying everybody who is an arse is so because he has problems at home, or that people can't just be mean, I know people who are... I just don't presume to know people that well to want to judge them or put such a potentially "cruel" prank in existence.
for that reason I choose not to pull such a joke, because on average, the chances of it being misunderstood and actually hurting people are too high.

kent, dude, I might have worded it badly, but the phrase you highlighted in my post was actually fully agreeing with you...
Sorry melting it is hot today.
I am not used to people agreeing with me, so maybe it was the shock. :wink:if it helps, I don't agree with a lot of what you say
Quote by jumptoit
Yeah but the fella down the road would not have the millions of dollars to buy silence, or the fame and blind support of 50 million fans!
Also easy to go to court as Michael Jackson and be found not guilty........... For my example of American law and its addiction to fame and personallities i use the name OJ Simpson, i suppose as he was found not guilty that must be true also???
I feel I have to come back on this, because it just does not make sense..
what you're saying is that anybody who is rich and/or famous and gets accused of something, is automatically guilty and if found not guilty by a court, then he MUST have bought the verdict..
yes, I admit there is a possibility for this to happen..but unless I'm sat in the jury and see money changing hands and evidence being ignored, I don't feel I'm allowed to make the sort of statements you shoot out with, as far as I know, no direct knowledge of the case whatsoever.
mind you, I have no idea if MJ was guilty or not..we will never know, probably, unless all the papers of the trial are laid bare and analized by a reputable neutral party. (does something like that exist?)
that said, I definitely don't "mourn" as such..I don't really believe in mourning, as I rather prefer celebrating. I cannot feel overly sad about what is ultimately a fact of life. close relatives and friends I will miss, and the manner of one or the other's death will occasionaly remind me of the frialty of life and our ultimately small relevance on anything beyond our immediate area of impact.
it is however sad that a great talent passed away, because it lessens humanity as such. our society is often measured by the works of genius and by the individual efforts of exceptional people. there would have been no renaissance without the likes of Leonardo da Vinci. the Incas and Mayas would still thrive if not for the ambitions of the Pizarro, Cortes and others.. our world would have a very different shape without History being punctuated by people like Martin Luther, Einstein, Elvis, Marie Curie..
I think MJ has a place amongst those people... certainly as far as the history of music goes.
that he was an exceptional talent should be clear also to those who did not appreciate his music.
if music is art, and it has been so often said that music can "help" people in the most different circumstances of life, (who has not spent a minute or two in selecting the right soundtrack to his proposal to his wife to be? who hasn't requested one or the other significant song to get the dancefloor moving and have a great time, maybe even scoring a lifechanging date?) then the worldwide success of MJ's songs and the impact he had on the music industry and showbiz in general surely deserves recognition.
I'm sure the man himself, troubled and/or despicable as he was will be to some extent forgotten, maybe even white-washed of all his "faults"..but his music will be an inspirations for years to come.. and will have been important in so many people's live that it really doesn't make any difference if we mourn him or not..his mark has been made strongly enough already, even without anybody displaying any sign of grief
what I do feel sad about is that there might have been more of the same where the great tracks came from...so in that way MJ's death is a loss
many currently accepted "real" illnesses were initially met by the same disdain and disbelief..and are today treated clinically...I'm thinking depression, post natal depression, etc...
so I wouldn't dismiss it so out of hand.
that said, I have little love for most of the psychobabble and consequent lack of self esteem and of "solve it" attitude...it seems to me that way too often we call for "professional help" as a cheap way of getting of our arses and face the music.
and way too often the so called "experts" are talking rubbish and looking at charts instead of at the people they're supposed to help
I agree that probably the "clip around the ear" school of handling things should not be totally dismissed as violating the child's right and being abusive.
there must be a breaking point where pampering and "gently nudging" and standing firm and acting decisively must meet, if parents are to give a child a fighting chance in the world.

I have mastered shyness to the point where I suffer from different degrees of shyness, depending on the context
as a salesman, opening doors and introducing myself is part of the trade..so in that field I've mostly overcome it, but still manage to blunder my way through the easiest of confrontations (lastly I was on a meeting with a buyer, and knocked my glass of water all over her desk...hence the lesson, "always drink up!")
in more social things I am not really shy with blokes, but can be reeeeaally awkward around girls, especially on the first approach
the simple art of walking up to a girl and tell her "n'importe quoi" eludes me, mostly because I think chat up lines are stupid and mostly unwelcome...and if I start of saying something stupid, what does that say about me?... and if she's with friends...well then she's totally off limits..as stupid as that may sound
once the ice is broken I tend to come over quite confident and proactive.. but that first hurdle is more often than not quite too steep for me.
in that picture, thank god for internet.. I never really look shy or lacking confidence, when I meet a date, simply because the first hurdle of getting to introduce myself is already behind me...and inrtoducing myself on the web takes little if no courage at all.

it's not really naivety... It's quite a common thing, and the basis of a large number of scams, to make people believe that for once they've struck gold.
I sort of can see the funny side of it if you reveal it's a fake straight after the first moment of elation..
but to let somebody actually believe it to be real for a day or two, and probably start making plans about how to spend the money, in the back of their minds...is just cruel and stupidly inconsiderate

I'm just wondering if the "photo ad" instrument is of any use to any of the men that use it.
does anybody actually check the ads listed under "single male"?? (other than the gay or bi males, who seem to be more in demand, if my perceptions are right)
I'm not complaining..I'm just thinking that I've read several ads all across the board, and several profiles. most of them, couples and ladies is what I've focussed on ( :evil2: ), seem to say the same thing "single males, if/when interested, we will look for you"... wether that happens, I doubt, simply because I'm sure that there are men that ignore the above message and still contact the couples and ladies... which means that all they need to do, when they actually want to meet single guys, is to select amongst those that have made contact.
I'm thinking probably I should pull my ad and focus on responding to as many ads I can, to get a chance at scoring a date...(not that I'm desperate, as I do find dates elsewhere, but 1 date is better than none :P...and I'm still a SH virgin)
before doing so though, I'd like to ask:
do any of the people that actually meet single straight guys go and look for them on the relevant ads page? or do you simply choose amongst those that have made contact be it by mail or chatroom?
is it worth it to keep the ad going? (what I look for might as well be written directly on my profile)
I know of course that having the ad doesn't "cost" me anything, but I like to think in terms of efficiency..and it doesn't seem to ad anything to my chances.
rather than rants from frustrated fellow single guys, I'd like the opinion of those who meet/have met the likes of us,..and I'd like to know how they go about finding the right one to meet

Quote by awol
in my experience, just about everybody, when approaching a new language (or when they're meeting somebody who is from another country)tends to ask within the first minutes, a couple of swearwords
thing is, they translate badly, and more often than not, are used in a totally different context and with different meaning.
That is so true! The first words I learnt in English were swear words - I had a good teacher a lovely Scottish guy who said as long as I sprinkle the word 'fuck' in my sentences I'll be alright...
Of course swearing in English is not as delicious as swearing in my own language. It just doesn't have the same kick.
One should always swear in their mother tongue
I've noticed people who've been living in italy for a while, tend to use italian swearwords even when they talk amongst each other...saw it done by a couple of chinese blokes...it was hilarious.
did he have a problem? yes, more than one... was he an admirable individual? probably not.
his wacko jacko persona was largely a construct of his own fantasy, fed to the media to enhance his outstanding (as in standing out) public image.
was anything remotely indictive beyond alegations by greedy parents (a minority amongst a lot of families, parents, children that went through the gates of Neverland, and testified to his good nature and against wrongdoings) been found to prove his tendencies? nope, not as far as I'm aware.
all that was proved, were a few circumstances that would have given gary glitter the perfect chance for a reacharound but should not be automatically assumed to have gone down the same path.. (I'm thinking of Elizabeth Taylor testifying she had seen MJ in bed with one of the accusing children...which of course is highly inappropriate when it's not your child... but clarifying they were watching Disney flicks... it's worthy of notice that to see this she must have been in the same room..and nobody accused her of being a /voyeur..)
I'm not making him out to be a saint, mind you..I don't much care for his wild antics and delusions of grandeur (albeit partly justified by his success)... In fact I don't believe in the whole "fandom/stardom" thing and I don't really apppreciate the man behind the music..but that's not enough to make him guilty.
the simple truth is that a man accused of being a is automatically guilty in the eyes of the media..if he gets acquitted, it's only for lack of proof, not because he's innocent..a presumed will carry the stigma to his deadbed, and always be looked at with suspicion, even after his death, unless a movie is made about his misfortunes.
... and if he's famous and rich, he automatically has bought the verdict and nobody cares that he might actually have been innocent.
and that, I think, is pretty sad.
it's a fact that we cannot judge, because nobody except the judges that had all the proofs and witnessess in front of them, ever had the means to say if he is innocent or not..and we know, or think to know, that a verdict could swing both ways, because of media pressure, legal technicalities, forged or "bought" testimony and protagonism and "commercial" interests for everybody involved..
innocence or guilt are more often than not irrelevant in such public media events. and the outcome doesn't guarantee that justice is served. but neither does it say that MJ bought his innocence.
in fact, the accusers have been caught talking openly about the economical benefits they'd get for accusing him, especially if he was proven guilty... or so some in the media say..(have these rumors been paid for by MJ to rehabilitate his name? we don't know.. has his sister retracted her accusations, based on hearsay and impressions to begin with, in exchange of money? again, could be, could be she did not.. and the list goes on.. potentially every sliver of proof could have been hidden/destroyed/bought. on the other hand, there is no proof of any of the sort, and it might very well be the other way around.)
what is undoubtely true, because friends, family, acquaintances and expert agree on it, is that MJ was a troubled person, with serious gaps in his childhood (not surprising, given his public life since the age of 5).. and who never really grew into a complete adult individual (I guess that's what neverland was all about... peterpan, ferris wheels, bouncy castles and the lot)
I just think we should, for lack of other ways to determine the truth, accept the legal verdict for what it's worth.
duh..why I got into this pages-long rant beats me, as I'm not even a proper fan..
I guess I don't like what the media does to people, both ways (I'm thinking of the nearly-sanctified Jane Goody just as much as I'm thinking about Jacko)

for instance, the italian word for cock is often used (in not very polite conversation, that is) with the same sort of meaning you'd use the word "shit"..
in holland it's quite common for people, especially the younger generations, to use english swearwords.

and I've admired some of the "political" graffiti (if they qualify as such, that is..) that I've seen in Belfast
other than that, I absolutely hate the "tags", specially on historical monuments and important buildings..
tags in general, I find quite often ugly and just acts of vandalism.
a proper design and a proper message, I like, but most of the scribblings done by amateurs are really not worth their cost in paint.
to avoid random tags on their rolling shutters, several shops in Milano have commissioned local artists to paint some scene related to their trade, depicting what the store is all about.. kinda like that too, functional graffiti.

I normally don't go further than "shit" or "fuck"... mostly when I'm alone and/or upset...
almost never in the bedroom (or any other alternative location :P )
..and when I do, it's more often than not in the wrong language...lol
(in fact I can get a whole lot coarser in italian, again, when I'm alone...but it's a way to release frustration, and I'd never use it in public)

May I suggest a delightful strategy.
Go to work and do a bad job. Nothing deliberate, simply cease to care. Depending on the employer you can get away with it for an incredibly long time while you seek alternatives.
The fun and freedom you can get from not giving a shit is difficult to describe.
we all work to put bread on the table... the only way to make it bearable is to be passionate about your job or, failing that, to at least take pride in doing it well
if she did as you suggest, she'd just make her working days a torture for herself and take away all that is good in it. I doubt her boss would ever notice, and if he did he could just sack her.
