>Ted, we don't see you as merely a board.
Well I guess I could have written "No women sleeping with this board." But that would have been an untruth. And as EVERYONE knows here, I never stretch the truth or invent things. Ever. [running and ducking fruitlessly e-con]

I have two opinions on this topic, and just time enough to share them!
a. Have you seen how big his hands are? And do you know what they say about the proportional correlation between the size of a man's hands and the size of another organ?
2. The most unexpected bit of wisdom came from primetime TV a couple of weeks ago - a man and woman were having the old conversation about how women tend to choose men who are bad for them... the whole alpha-male, dangerous image load of horse-pucky... The upshot of the conversation was that women don't choose men like that because they're dangerous, they choose them because they're safe. There's nothing safer than knowing how it's going to end...

Dear Fiberbabe: "There's nothing safer than knowing how it's going to end..."
Somehow I find that statement confusingly cryptic. Several scenarios seem possible.

I didn't mean it in reference to world events, but rather with regard to one-on-one relationships. Nothin' like datin' a bad boy, because you always know the primrose path it's going to take.

this thread may have set a record for the quickest 'hijack' (without return). bill, should I be feeling consternation that Ms. DiBattista's sentiments essentially went without challenge from her fellow UK'rs?

No, it's half term here, too busy sailing (and now doing the laundry/homework/chauffeuring as well as catching up on work to worry about such things. It's a free world, she can say what she likes.
I think we are still involved in coining words, apart from slang, most words seem to come from new technology and management gobbledeygook which is pretty international. Perhaps we like to use the words we've got, rather create new, unnecessary words, dunno, all I need right now is more sleep .. yawn ... yawn ... sorry not to have anything more to say at the moment, I need recharging.

Political revolutionaries have always been attractive to some. The famous red and black Che Guevera poster was a best seller here and seems to be appearing on t-shirts again. Somehow, I can't see bin liner posters being so popular here (at least not in public).
As far as footballers go, the current pin up in England is clean living, simple soul David Beckham. We can forgive him his funny outfits and overbearing wife as he appears to be a caring father and is becoming a truly great footballer.

Jazzo, were you never an addict? Have you never thought "Only 10 more posts and I've cleared the board," only to suddenly find another half hour has gone by?

Sadly not. I hadn't realised that I'd made the second post. It was part of a much longer post, agued point by point (including reference to a BBC programme that had just seen about holy Hindu monkeys, fighting off an incoming male who once he had won, killed all the baby monkeys) until I realised that it really made absolutely no sense {keep thoughts of "what's new" to yourselves!} and cut out most of. In a "senior moment", I must have hit the send key, so the truth is even worse than you could have guessed, Jazzo, you whippersnapper!
