    Good. Then I'll be able to dress incredibly stylishly and call myself an Italian...
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Nah, they prefer something hanging on their arm that makes them look wealthy and high in the pecking order. Splash out a bit, glam up and they'll come running. Predictable things really.

    We're a bit more complex than that. When I was in my early twenties I went out with a 19 year old lapdancer for a short while. She was insanely stunning. She made Cameron Diaz look like Danny DeVito. However, she was just so annoying and devoid of any major decent human traits that I couldn't appreciate her beauty without fantasising about smoothering her with a pillow just to make her shut up.

    It was like trying to appreciate the Mona Lisa with someone constantly tapping your forehead and shouting "Is this annoying? Is this annoying? Is this annoying? Is this annoying? Is this annoying?".

    Not sure what the moral of that story is really. Hey ho.

    Will reply to your PM very soon too (I love being able to say that - people will think we're flashing each other via webcam or something).

    I'm staying out of this in case LIR stops thanking my posts...

    Someone has to thank these days :(:confused:

    ETA: and I don't feel left out of PMs...I only have room for one at the moment...I have to keep deleting. I get lots of pms from nice people wanting to help me learn to write and spell properly. They are all very keen.

    Second edit. I've done some housekeeping and now only have 42. No PMing me links to youtube shots of scratching liverpudlians...please.

    Cut the fingers off people who tap you on the head. And never give them boxing gloves :)

    Why? Are you concerned? Do you want to offer to do it for him...?
