    Is there anything wrong with marrying a !!!!!! star? Do you consider !!!!!! stars to be less worthy than yourself? As a subject that has affected me personally, I am actually quite offended that you would have a problem with this.
    There are always some people that are offended by anything :rolleyes:

    If you don't know what several footballs means.......... then either you aren't very clever, or you being deliberately obtuse, I'm not sure which one tbh.

    Ohh A. every time

    Credit crunch, what credit crunch. Its always best to have a back up job :)

    I think you'll find it is an "on your back" up job.

    And yes I know that on your back is just one of many varieties......

    Several footballs go though them sounds like an easting disorder.

    I have never heard a phrase like that but I suspect I know to what you allude.
    (Not a good metaphor if I might make so bold)

    Well I've never heard the exact phrase before, but I did see a film once with some smallish American footballs in it. So I just assumed.......

    Apparently her STARmeter (whatever that is) has gone up by 52% in the last week. Due to this article, methinks!

    The main ethos of MSE, and much of Martin's work, surrounds a non judgmental attitude. For example, some would judge those that have got into financial difficulties, but that would be against what MSE stands for. I do not understand why this non judgmental attitude should not apply to !!!!!! stars?

    I understand that the article was meant to be in good humour, but perhaps it should be considered that this subject is personal to some people who use this website? I doubt that an article would be published referring in the same way to nurses/ bin men/ cleaners etc.

    Lotus-eater, what does your spouse/ mother do? Would you like it if I poked fun at them? :rolleyes:
    Gone ... or have I?

    If you are so touchy that your Mum is/was a !!!!!! star then don't talk about it on an open internet forum :confused:

    Dear me,

    This is a fun blog about the occupation of my fiance's future name sake.

    I'm not quite sure where my blog is judgemental all it says is...

    "it seems her soon-to-be namesake has a rather interesting occupation."

    And "not sure quite sure whether that’s a builder or killer for my reputation!"

    How that's judgemental I'm not sure... I'd have written a similar blog had she had a name sake who was chief exec of barclays bank or the world's top deep water breath hold diver!

    I think a wee chill may be useful here folks... its a bit of fun
