Spinster V Bacholer

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'd have to have a better idea of what exactly your analysis amounted to quids... ;-)

but is there any need to keep banging on about

I mean, is there some un-PC forum you usually hang around which is much more fun and we should go and check it out???

As for the question I'm not even sure where it comes from - who exactly goes around calling people spinsters?? Or bachelors?

And where exactly is it less acceptable for women to be single in their 40s? Am I hanging around with the wrong people? Again..

who is "you and the pc world"?

Please note I simply asked the q as a general interest I am in no way fussed one way or the other. :p

Doesn't Bridget Jones refer to them as singletons?

Seany - yes, indeed yes....this is a little puppy's tea party of a forum, and I like it that way so will not point you and the other flowers to the way of the Darkness.

I think *Bob*, Dulwichmum and Louisa could be exposed as the force is strong in them

[SeanMacGabhann]

I know you like to talk the talk Quids.....

I should come clean and say that yes... this isn't the only forum I visit.... but it'll be a cold day in hell before I visit the Darkness forum ;-)

If a spinster spins, what do confirmed bachelors do?

Perhaps we could make up a term and try to propagate it from this moment forward.

I'm guessing that traditionally they would either die or cottage, neither of which is particularly useful for us here.

Perhaps a whittler? Mutterer? Toper? Philateler?* Philanderer? Grizzer?

*yeah yeah, ist, I know

I've never heard of the 'Darkness Forum', so I just had a look.

It seems to be something to do with listening to The Cure, not being understood and (I'm guessing here) drinking a lot of cider.

[mockney piers]

I have to say, apart from the colour scheme, it's not so _very_ different.

Football thread, band name game thread, a funny thing happened to me thread...

The darkness (or whatever they call themselves now apparently, like I care)

[*Bob*]

They are different, Mockney. You just don't understand them, man.

...TV thread, good morning thread, hi i'm new thread, news thread ....

[KalamityKel]

Ahem bugger off my thread u two :p

[mockney piers]

Fair point Kel, tt is pretty high profile after all.

If you do a google search for "Bacholer" [sic] it's the fourth highest hit in the world!!

You're taking it a bit literally - it's not the name of a site just an adjective that describes the site I had in minds persona compared to the sweetness and light of the EDF
