Ah, the heart Eek..! Is nice.


Nah, at school I tended to dump the nice guys for the bad guys, always more exciting and eventful, but then I was also a pretentious pain in the arse and had "oh for a life of sensations rather than of thoughts" above my bed. I THINK I've grown out of that now

"but I think the English language is a rich and glorious and wonderful thing, and it pains me to see it abused." doesn't sound like the work of a woman who doesn't prize thinking... although I have sneaking sympathy with Teen Rosie too.

Oh, Rosie that made me smile, teen annaj would have loved teen Rosie...

Or maybe hated her, in a jealous rivalry way, because we'd have been just too similar, except that I wasn't really popular with the boys, good or bad.

I was such an awful, pretentious teenager it still makes me cringe to think about it.


Like Moos, there is a forumite whose posts always gives me a bit of a lift, but not really in a crushy way.

Boringly, I don't think I have any forum crushes... Sorry

Oh Moos, I was not fishing. Seriously, I don't know what I'd have been as a teen. I certainly had my share of "bad boy" habits, particularly between 14-16, but then I never bunked off school or anything like that.


Basically I was too shy to flirt, and usually ended up being great pals, and "like a brother" to the girls. Grrrr!!!!!!!!

The bit I find tricky is the forumites whose names hide their gender - hence you might like what you read but dare not be tempted into crushes on the poster for fear of them being from the same side...sometimes the poster makes their gender clear later but some I just can't read - hence any crushes are reserved for those with clearly female names...obvioulsy those who have been to forum drinks have a clear advantage having seen these unclear posters in the flesh, I should try to get along to the next one, but then I like the mystery of not having yet put the names to faces.. to me you are all supermodels.

But Mick Mac, surely crushes aren't always directly related to our sexuality or sexual leanings. In fact as a teenager I would say I had quite a few crushes on girls - as in gazing from afar with admiration - yearning to just be them, rather than be with them. It's more about some people just having a flicker of a spark about them that ignites something indescribable within you.

Moos / Annaj- I think like you, a lot of people have a crush on Woofmarkthedog, but that is simply puppy love as I understand it....


... but give him a biscuit and he may let you scratch behind his ears.

I'm sure you'll find that most boys, let alone Men, do not gaze from near or afar at other Males.

In fact I'm certsin of it.


Having said that I did have a 14-year-old "liking" for Andy Bradbury who was very pretty and stood out in our All-Boys School and was overjoyed when his Parents bought a Caravan near ours in Seasalter, Kent for use during the holidays.;-)

    • Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor
    • I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
    • It's happened twice today, I've never had this happen before! Here's the second one. All I did was try to agree with a post in the lounge!
    • Now I'm having my hand slapped by some forum bot 😮 All I did was try to add a laughing emoji to ianr's post. This is obviously a message from the universe to tell me to get off my phone and get back to working my way through my very lengthy to do list 🤣 ETA: And it's just happened again when I tried to agree with a post in the lounge. OK universe, I give in. Back to the hideous task list.
