No need, *Bob*, men aren't defined culturally by fatherhood (mention women to any politician, Theresa May included, and what they'll talk about is childcare) and their bodies don't change when children are born, lucky things.


They don't age well from 40 on, though, so maybe one for men who've lost their hair but are still fanciable - BILF?

How do you know they are not GILFs? Although given that women are starting to breed in their late 30s I suppose they are probably MILFs....up to the ears in nappies etc...they won't have the time for much else- especially since they won't have the energy -being older 'n all, and spending their spare time in the gym.

Am I the only person offended by EDMP late night posting, feeling frisky and his X box is broken? and don't be telling me to lighten up. There is enough tension on the sreets without a sexual predator being encouraged.


I thought this site was self policing. The OP is well out of order posting such an inappropriate remark and totally on the wrong sort of forum.

What do you mean, 'just' as though this is somehow excusable? there is no 'just' he is advertising himself

and sounds like a ILIMMB, this isn't amusing, funny or rational, it is creepy and sinister, and uncivilised.


Back to work, disturbed.

Well said, Elph, I agree.

Yes, I agree; This is the wrong forum as there will be many that will feel sensitive and be offended.

If someone need this then there are other places to engage with people of similar attitude.

I apologize if my [unnecessary] comment caused any offence - it was flip & unthinking.

I did actually request not to be advised to 'lighten up'


I am disturbed that regular commenters seem to find this acceptable and amusing.


Perhaps I am sensitive but that does not make me wrong.

I didn't say I was outraged, which smacks of a dowager Duchess clutching her pearls.

Perhaps you do not find this post predatory and creepy but I did which does not make me wrong

or skew my perspective.


And I am astonished that you would excuse a dubious post and criticise mine.

I can't keep up with all these acronyms. Anyway, I'm the wrong side of 50, single and not quite moribund yet (though that's debatable) I'd like to think I haven't been whooped with the ugly stick and have hung on to some of my youthful good looks and virility. This thread has got me thinking it's probably time I took a wife. I'm just not sure whose yet.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
