PasturesNew wrote: »Boys drink beer, watch footy and ignore me
I don't drink beer, spirits, or much else.
Very very very very rarely (just for lir) I may have a glass of wine. Maybe.
I like football.
I do not ignore Pastures.
What does that make me now eh Viva? I make that 3-1 female!:pIt's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

I know and I was right with my gut instinct. Same way there is poster here on the forum I am certain implies they are opposite to what they are....sex wise. Its ok of course, their choice, but makes me feel...uncertain..about other things.
TBH, for the same reason I although ultimately heterosexual, could fall for women, or why people have fulfilling relationships with people with other challenges ..its about the person not always the physical expectations.0 -

I'm down with teetollers, so long as they let me ''up'' occsionally. I love a good drink not just drinking. Chivas Regal recently made me all excited about whiskey again, but now the old (more affordable) standards taste so.....yuck. I cook a lot with booze though.:o
edit: oops...that should hve been whisky, not whiskey. I can taste it now....sigh.0 -

Its DH's auntie. TBH, she's going to be in a position to not need it soon. I never figured it out. Its no loss to me but changes her daily existance atm. I figure I have enough to keep me busy.
An annoyance here, a big annoynce, is I can't pick up radio downstairs. OK I can get fuzzy local BBC :eek: and one terrible local commercial station. No decent radio. Digital (I borrowed one) does work. Borrowed one laso showed me how battery/energy heavy the digital was.
Portmeirion is definitely something I'd recommend lir. The architecture really does blend into the landscape so well. It is a lovely place to go. If you have nice weather, and the brass band plays, it is a joy.
I went on the forest walk around it. In the childrens play area they have loads of wood carvings, a teddy bear, a turtle, a crocodile and so on. Really really lovely place. Enchanting.lostinrates wrote: »tzatziki? Cucumber soup. Freezing little slaps in ice for cool bloody marys.
I love cucumber. I sometimes eat half a cucumber for lunch. My own lunches are a little basic in prep.:o
That really is basic :eek:vivatifosi wrote: »See, I know you're a bloke and you know I'm female for that very reason. With jelly though, I will never know for sure. Unless I can persuade you all that a day out at Bletchley Park would be a good idea.

Bletchley Park was on my list of places to go Viva. I'm carrying the list forward to next year though. wageslave suggesting Hadrians wall has also been carried over.:)It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

I don't drink either, so maybe that does make you a woman, but then neither does my husband. I know people of both genders that don't drink. I don't think its a gender issue.
Football I'd say you would have more chance of liking as a woman than your taste in books :rotfl:.
As for Pastures, everyone loves Pastures, just Pastures doesn't realise that everyone loves her in virtual world. She just knows some skanks in real world.
I'm not 100% sure you are male, but I was right on your age and I'm almost certain you're white, so even 2 out of 3 wouldn't be bad.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.

lemonjelly writes like a man. Sorry. I can normally tell. And most women don't normally play games about their gender.0

This is what i like about Google chrome's dictionary lookup app....
You just double click on a word you don't know and it's all there.0 -

I've never intentionally tried to mislead, though I am happy to admit to having been ambiguous on occasions. I can certainly say I've never had this as an agenda - it cropped up when I think it was bendix posted I sounded like his dream woman & asked me to marry him. I asked how he knew I was female. He (I assume) shut up pretty quick!
I hope no-one does get concerned by it. If they do - my sincere apologies.:oIt's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
