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.;-)

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
