I thought long and hard about entering this thread.. But after due consideration I decided that it had some validity..
In my previous job I was a mentor to about 15 people .. It was an area that I absolutely loved. I could help them with their careers, guide them on a true path and engage with many different individuals. I often wondered if I would be better off in HR , rather than IT..
In the months that I have been using this site I have observed many individuals on here that I would love to meet (and I don't mean from a sexual sense).. As I have found their postings, ramblings, input very interesting..
Whilst I am now about to pick out some individuals - I don't mean to ignore the others that have given me many laughs, much sage words and even those that have come here as moaners but still have a point to get over.....
In no particular order
JUDYTV: Judy is just a lovely person. She always answers posts in the most open and honest way. Her advice is practical (God is that the right word) and never fails to get to the point. I love her honesty about her life and what that means to her... I've exchanged PM's with Judy and each one has been a joy.
THE SARGE: Barking as a barking thing!!!! His wit shines through. He is a man (well someone told me he was) that follows the Army code?.... He has weapons, tanks and other big stuff.. But the bottom line is that he makes me laugh.. He is also a great MOD - who has taken to his new responsibility with extreme vigour.. In other words he has a propensity (?) to abuse his privs....
MAL: Not sure where to start with MAL... Maybe this lad is a bit of a lothario.? He is desperate for SHAGS and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. I was a bit put out by one of his PM's - where he said " Don't bother weasel dick.. when Carlolyn sees the size of my monster then you'll be second rate"... I did find this a tad strange - but that's the swinging world I suppose
WILMA & FRED: What a delightful couple.. and so sad that they have been away so long.... Wilma makes me laugh as she is so sharp.. has a great eye for a sarcastic remark... As for Fred; well I hope to see him in the Forum soon .. as long as he does not chastise me
SAPPHO & WILL: In some ways I am not sure what to say about these two lovely people. They are without doubt the most articulate people on this site. (and I mean no disrespect to anyone else) Their command of the English language puts many to shame. It is lovely to see that they are sooooooo happy together... (arrrrgh - and who said that romance was dead)
EASY: Another one from the barking faction... This is a man that has joined this Forum for the sheer fun of it.. He is a master of wit and succinct responses. I do hold my hat in admiration of some of the things that he has posted (although none spring to mind at the moment)
WARWICK: A man that is completely mad .. and has more alter egos than you can shake a stick at!!! Enuff said I think...
WBB: You make me laugh sooooo much... I think that you have surpassed yourself with the "deserves " thread... Also, I am addicted to your web pic .. Well, who can blame me? Give Mal hell for the rest of the tasks.
MISSCHIEF: What a balanced lady. She's witty, practical and has an affection (or should that be affectation) for a duck (correct me if I am wrong there Miss). I've laughed and sometimes cried at her posts...Oh bugger - I must be getting soft
ALEX: Well, Alex was the first one to PM me ... and I appreciate that so much. She is kind, (has wonderful boobs ops: ) and definately can ' talk for England ' :lol: What more can anyone want?
MARK: AKA The Black Darlek... Afine man who has set up a wonderful site. I stumbled over this site (via Google) and feel that I cannot leave. Whether you are a swinger or not matters not a jot. Everyone is welcome (as long as you are polite and not a prat) .. So, a very big well done - and many thanks for this site
BLUE: Oh bollox.. she just scares me :lol: :lol: :lol: .. Only joking Blue !!!
And lastly.. and to get back to my original point about mentors..
My absolute hero is................................
DAVEJ: I have read every one of his posts and can honestly say that I have followed all of his advice, be that good bad or indifferent.. This man is a leg - end!!!!
Just think; every situation that has been brought forward or thrown up - he HAS DEALT WITH.. In my books ..... he is my MENTOR
Kind regards - and am sorry this was soooo long
