Ladymuck

I made a blackberry crumble at the weekend but added a (large) desertspoonful of brandy to the blackberries...heavenly...though not for the kids...and, to those that don't eat oats, don't forget those flaked almonds on top....orgasmipoos!

Too high brow for the likes of me! When really bored I'll visit it and place a really silly post amongst the academia just for the hell of it...of course I am ignored... he he

Get a 2nd hand bike (and some good locks)... and get some FREE assertive cycling lessons from Southwark Council...also, I have a copy of the rough guide to cycling which I no longer use...you can have it if you like (free of course)

...definitely George Best...in fact I remember getting into a lot of trouble at school because I wrote his name all over one of the school desks!

I can't see the logic (not a criticism - am just curious).

BBW, I ABSOLUTELY agree with you! (problem is, it's SO easy to behave this way - I've done it many a time...and on this forum too...poor Honaloochie...)

I got my 10 yards certificate in swimming (sorry - couldn't resist)...but I still can't really swim

EXCELLENT!!! (This is going on the LOL thread:)))

That's fair enough Tony.London Suburbs, it really is. However, I fear that you too are missing my point. My original posting on this thread was merely to point out MY distaste at Mockney's apparent double standards - no more than that.

And in answer to your very pertinent > question Ladymuck, That is EXACTLY the point Rosie H. I.e. you stopped reading once it no longer appealed to you...the fact that annaj CONTINUED reading DESPITE her assertion that she found the experience "really unpleasant" seems, to me anyway, a little unconvincing. > > Maybe it just all comes back to the perennial > question about what makes the forum an interesting > place and we should ask Admin to create a teenage > smut section to keep everyone happy. You could well be right (huge burst of laughter:)))!

annaj Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Just one more thing though, Ladymuck, in Mockney's > defence there is a big difference between him > saying someone is "wuvvvwevy" and the kind of > filth that was circulating on the other thread, In your rush to come to Mockney's defence, it seems that not only have you COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT, but you have also either failed to notice (or deliberately ignored?) the highlighted sentence pertinent to my posting. Just to clarify, my post referred directly to the sentence: "Good ole thinking mans crumpet" to which I merely observed "some forumites might be offended by such a comment...". To this observation I further commented: This was to convey the fact that I personally do not mind the contents of this thread (otherwise I would not have read it this far). My observation relates SOLELY to the fact that Mockney saw fit to lodge a pretty strong complaint about the contents of the "sex therapist thread" (which, as a forumite with a view, he was entitled to do and to which I have absolutely no objection per se) BUT that, a short while later he thought it appropriate to join in this thread and post as he has above. Neither his complaint nor his current posting I find objectionable per se when viewed IN ISOLATION. However, when the two postings are viewed TOGETHER and DOUBLE STANDARDS and HYPOCRISY appear sharply into focus, it is THIS that I find distasteful. I am unclear as to your meaning when you say: Yes, the majority of the postings contained innuendo and references to sex and nudity with a view to injecting humour and excitement into the thread - and judging by comments made to me about the thread, many forumites found the thread extremely funny. Somebody described it to me as "a bit like a Carry On Movie", and for the most part it probably was. I agree that there were a few postings which were explicit in terms of describing sexual acts within a lesbian relationship which might appear shocking to some, but I do not believe that they constituted "filth" (perhaps you could enlighten me as to which postings disgusted you so much?). Regarding the "explicit" posts, although I would not have posted them myself (I do not possess such courage), I thought the posters very brave. This courage led others to "open up" - which, in my humble opinion, is the healthy way forward. The thread was not an ethical discussion on moral standards or the decline of morality - in which case the appropriate place for it would have been the Drawing Room! Although it started off as an advert for the services of a sexual therapist it (following a swift move to the lounge by Admin) soon developed into a fun thread as alluded to above. > I am not convinced of your allegation that [the thread] was "really unpleasant" for you to read as you appear to have read the WHOLE of the thread. Why did you not relieve yourself of such unpleasantness after the fifth or sixth post? The nature of the thread was fairly clear at a relatively early stage. Indeed, it is an unusual person who persists with a "really unpleasant" experience.

I agree with every word you have said Fliss. Allgoodh - this may hit you later, I do hope you take some time out if it does.

Awwwwwww > she's just wuvverwy. some forumites might be offended by such a comment... normally I wouldn't mind, as I am sure you are only "having a bit of fun". However, bearing in mind your, relatively strong, objections to some of the postings on the "sex therapist thread", I find your post rather galling...a case of double standards here me thinks

It rings a bell, but certainly haven't seen it for years (if ever we did) - Sains. DKH area
