What did you want to be when you were young and what do you do now?


Recommended Posts

I would go along with that, plus I have always used the term "working girl", as more of a generalisation for the name as opposed to the derogatory terms often used, in that working to earn money! in whatever capacity. A job is a blooming job! lol!

By the way I wasn't having a dig Chav, what I said was "prettying things up for those feeling guilty about using the services in the first place", i.e. the clientelle in my post.

Yeah.. I'm not saying the majority of the alternatives are wonderful. But 'sex worker' is just plain rubbish.

And whilst (in theory) what you say above may be true, I've never heard a stripper refer to themselves as a 'sex worker' because everyone knows 'sex worker' is just a rubbish term for prostitute (etc etc)


I think it's high time someone came-up with a decent alternative.

Prostitute is in the English Dictionary though:-


pros?ti?tute (prst-tt, -tyt)

n.

1. One who solicits and accepts payment for sex acts.

2. One who sells one's abilities, talent, or name for an unworthy purpose.

tr.v. pros?ti?tut?ed, pros?ti?tut?ing, pros?ti?tutes

1. To offer (oneself or another) for sexual hire.

2. To sell (oneself or one's talent, for example) for an unworthy purpose.

Footballer, rock star, singer/songwriter/musician, usual crap. Been working on newspapers since I was 16. Just another serf. I considered acting for about five minutes once. I should have been on the stage, I rather like it up there. Would like to retire first thing tomorrow morning and maybe write short stories or novels if and when I could be bothered to.

    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
