Oh I don't know, I can't decide.
Maybe Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Sheldon Cooper. I'm hoping by the end of the night that we could have unified gravity dunno

Damn Blue - you already chose 2 of my three. The only one you missed out was Richard Feynman (a Nobel Prize winning physicist, for those who don't know.)
Einstein I'd love to talk to about ethics and morality as much as about physics. Hawking would be interesting to talk to about Motor Neurone disease and the challenges he's faced because of it. And Richard Feynman, well he was an incredibly fascinating man - safe-cracker, samba musician, participant in the Manhattan Project, and the man who cut to the heart of the Challenger Shuttle disaster investigation. And all 3 of these men have/had fantastic senses of humour, so there would be plenty of light relief amongst the deep thinking.
I'd build a purpose-built music complex that had recording studios and practice rooms, so anyone who wanted to could come down, have a jam with whoever wanted to, or bands could have somewhere soundproofed to practice and facilities to record. Preferably with a venue attached, so there was somewhere to perform (and buy beer from.)

Jewel Staite and Drew Barrymore :inlove: Evil Willow. I had forgotten about her as well lol
Still have a thing for Sophie Aldred as well (any companion of the Doctor, who attacks Daleks with a baseball bat has to be cool :inlove: )

And don't forget Slutty Willow from the Halloween episode where she wore slutty clothes under her ghost costume...
:happy: Ace - OMG yes! That's still one of my favourite ever Dr Who moments. But don't forget, it wasn't just any old baseball bat - it had been enhanced by the Doctor putting in the Hand of Omega (I think that was what it was called...)
Ah, ain't Geek love a wonderful thing... :lol:
Cicero - I hadn't a clue who you meant so had to Google them - that was too highbrow for me!
Christina Hendricks from Firefly eh Dlep? Interesting choice... though she is pretty damn sexy. If I was to have a Firefly threesome it would be have to be Inara and Kaylee (Morena Baccarin and Jewel Staite.) Inara would bring her Courtesan's skills and Kaylee would bring her down-to-earth enthusiasm!
But if I was to widen it out further than just Firefly then it gets a bit difficult to choose. On one day I'd say Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alison Hannigan (preferably dressed as Evil Willow) coz I'm in a Buffy mood, but on another I'd say Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor coz I'm feeling more Xena-inspired. If I've been watching more films I might say Angelina Jolie (a bj from those lips?) and Drew Barrymore.
Ferne Britten and Lorraine Kelly? I reckon Lorraine would be a lot of fun - Ferne I'd've preferred before she lost all that weight.
Oh so many choices, I could go on all night...

We choose swing-fun-cpl because we wanted a name that said we are a swinging fun couple :giggle:...... as some may remember we were not a full "couple" we were a manufactured swinging couple or 2 swingle fuck buddies swinging together back then.
Like others have said we didnt think about our user name in the long term or about it's practcality of use at munchies/social's, but oh my i have been to some realy funny pre-drinkies where user names have been shouted out across the pub....ours aint sooo bad!

And... once we had the chance to choose our own usernames on other sites, and then when we came back to this site, we chose Rubato and Hope. (Not realising to start with that we could have our old username back! D'oh!) Rubato because I'm a musician and rubato is a musical term describing how to play a piece of music - it means something like "play it in your own time - you don't have to stick to the beat." And Hope because that is what she is to me, my Hope of better things, and what her life has taught her - that there is always Hope. (She may have a different explanation for why she picked Hope.)

Nothing at all. I do like the weight of a duvet on me, but when we had the really hot weather last month I just used the empty duvet cover. DG got a bit of a shock when she stayed for a few days and followed me up to bed a few hours later - apparently I'd kicked the sheet off in my sleep :giggle:

Not so much of a shock, surely - more just a nice surprise? :happy:
I prefer not to wear anything to bed where possible - skin-to-skin contact with Hope is one of the best things in my life, end of. :inlove: But in the winter I'll slip on a tee-shirt or long-sleeved pyjama top if I have to. Hope is a potent source of heat but our bedroom is a bit draughty so in the depths of winter even she isn't always enough!
However I do love my pyjamas and dressing gown. If I have no reason to go out I am quite happy spending all day and night in them!
I would've killed (figuratively!) to go to one of Blue's parties back in the day but we started swinging just too late! Reading all about them, I sooooo wanted to go - they sounded both fascinating and fun. Scary? Hell yes! Like a funfair ride or a rollercoaster...
If I had to bring a bribe (I mean, gift) in order to get in to one now I think I'd bring a Big Bang Theory box set and selection of crisps, chocolate bars and pop. (Mind you, most places I go I have crisps and chocolate with me...)

I think you raise an interesting point re morals, that I had never thought about. Now having thought about it, I don't think it's a problem. Obviously, I can only speak for myself, but just because I'm not attracted to someone's naked body, it doesn't mean that I'm not attracted to them in other ways. I may love the way they look in other ways than being naked, for example. OR, taking the whole situation away from physical appearance, attraction can mean many more things than physical...

Good point. Though it does look like you might've redefined asexuality as someone who is not attracted to the naked body of either gender to make this point, but that's just me being overly pedantic as usual. redface But then your point was that attraction is about so much more than physical attraction to someone's body, and that I wholeheartedly agree with. worship
Like others have said, most people don't fall in love just based on someone's body. There's so much more going on than that. There's the biochemistry, there's the physical attraction stuff, there's the mental/Sapiosexual stuff, sense of humour and emotional compatability, the list would go on and on if I could be bothered to write it. People are complicated, finding a compatible person to have a long-term relationship with, doubly so, or more like squared. Labels can sometimes help narrow the field, but no-one can ever be fully defined by labels.
I'm another one who is a little bit Sheldon (unfortunately!) sad lol I'm far too pedantic for anyone's good, I think my intellect is always the greatest in the room and sometimes the social niceties pass me by or leave me a little baffled. :shock: :-? I'll get upset if you sit in "my seat." Sometimes if you disrupt my routine I'll get very uncomfortable and uncooperative, though I'm hell of a lot better with that these days - living with a partner whose idea of routine is remembering to eat at least once a day has been very therapeutic - I guess it was a case of change or crumble! :borg:
The other character I've been compared to is Ross from Friends. mad I always hated that comparison, and in fact hated Ross too - but a part of me wonders if I hate him because I really can see some uncomfortable similarities between us... bolt
Hmmm in a post in a thread about comedy characters I've managed to not be funny at all - now THAT'S an achievement! Sounds like something Ross would do...
Oh, and yes I've been compared to Marvin the Depressed Robot before too. "Brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to take you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Coz I don't!"
I think the term "asexuality" is a bit of confusing word to use because it is not very well defined in the mind of the average person. We might come across it at school when studying biology, where they talk about asexual reproduction in organisms where they reproduce on their own, without the input of genetic material from another individual. But to translate that into human terms? It just doesn't really make sense.
So I guess human asexuality must be to do with something other than reproduction. Basing it on attraction seems to make sense, I guess. So if I'm a human who is not attracted to either sex, I'm asexual... Unless I'm just attracted to myself, in which case that would make me... a wanker? (Or should I rather say "onanist?")
Like Bluexxx, I've never really thought about how human asexuality does not necessarily imply celibacy if you define it in terms of who you are attracted to (though it does raise questions about the morals and methods of having sex without attraction, e.g. is it possible for an asexual to "make love" as opposed to "having sex?")
In terms of my own sexuality, I'm a heterosexual with unrequited bisexual yearnings, discovered comparatively recently in my life's span. I'm beginning to wonder if the Ancient Greeks had it right - they encouraged middle-aged men to have relationships with young men in order to nurture and guide their burgeoning sexuality. It seems rather "wrong" in our cultural and moral terms but I can certainly see the benefits for both the younger and the older men!
:laughabove: Meaty! She said OK then - what more do you want? Do you know how many people would be ecstatic to hear that from our dear DF? smackbottom
I took the slut test - it says I am 74% slut. I think the missing 26% is probably because I still seem to have morals... I certainly missed out on a few percent due to being a goody two-shoes in my early adulthood, but I've been trying my best to make up for it since!
Yeah, man - swinging got, like, mainstream, dude! We used to be rebels... :2fingers:
No, to answer seriously, it started when most of our friends moved off to A N Other site so we ended up being there more than here. Then life kinda changed around us - Hope and I changed, grew closer, moved in together and found that mostly all that we needed was each other. I'm not exactly saying that swinging was just a phase - it's something we wouldn't rule out under the right circumstances, but that urgent first flush of passion, as felt for a new lover, has long faded.
Now where did I put me slippers? confused

Hello Nola. I appear to have at least one hand free - what would you like me to do with it?

Oooh, I can always do with a neck massage and, y'know, feel free to wander :twisted:
I'm told I do a fair neck massage - hmm, let me see...
(Limbers fingers up...)
:giggle: Mike I should've expected no less! I'd better not start talking about football and your new manager and stuff though or the girlies will start thinking of unpleasant things for me to do. I don't wanna be made to file blue's corns or something...
Ah Mike that's a much more appropriate outfit for this situation - better than turning up for a munch in a footie shirt anyway! wink blink
Hello Dark. kiss Hope the bastards haven't ground you down too much! :therethere:
Hello Nola. I appear to have at least one hand free - what would you like me to do with it?
Good to see everyone else too - maybe nostalgia IS what it used to be!
Hands Hope a bottle of cider.
Stands around looking like a spare part, but with a slight smile.
Yes indeedy, Rubato and Hope are back in da house! Good to see all the old avatars/usernames/reprobates - it really is nice to reconnect. Hope you're doing ok Postie - we are still keeping on trucking. Life ain't easy but we're still fighting and taking joy where we can find it. It certainly is nice to get lost in a bit of nostalgia here, even if it could've been inspired by more pleasant circumstances. There certainly is a part of me that feels instantly at home again, even if I have to keep trying to remember how things work here!
Well I for one ain't sitting here staring at your kitten for about 3 minutes to see if it still blinks Postie...
