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.;-)

    • I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.  
    • There was me overcome with memories of articles in women's magazines from the 1950s advising their readers how to be a good housewife and thinking it's like feminism never happened. Until I read the last paragraph. Be warned, this is PR from someone who runs a cleaning company.
    • Carpet can be a pain at times, the maintenance takes effort. I’ll look into that spray as a handy in-between for freshening things up. Steam cleaners are becoming more popular too and definitely seem more hygienic than a mop and bucket.  
    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
