    Um, but surely, even if you've never heared a straight man say "half a lager and I'm anybody's." that doesn't mean there isn't another masculine option?

    I'm back.... I've been on holiday. I didn't tell people I was going as it was the same time as the ash cloud and it didn't look as though I was going until the very last minute. Looks like I got back just in time as well. I'll be back for the sparkling wit and economic chat when I've got through the 1500 spam e-mails that have arrived since I've been gone. No rest for the wicked...

    Oh, and hello new OP, or possibly old new OP depending on peoples points of view, or so it seems.


    I always take the line its best to welcome people as if new. Even if they admit to being someone you know and are fond of.

    welcome, Vivatifosi!

    I'd always thought you to be female - or rather that you seemed feminine (I had a gender expert girlfriend, and the differentiation was drummed into me). Suffice to say, I've never known a straight man say "half a lager and I'm anybody's." Particularly not in the sense that it's a bad thing!

    There you go, as requested - colours on the mast. No doubt hugely politically incorrect to make such assumptions, but it's human nature.

    :D:D:D

    Jonny Bravo is insistant I am male...

    IIRC singlesue assumed I was female until peeps started questioning it...

    I thought tomterms additional query above to be a good one too...

    :D:D:D

    How about that for timing viva!:) Welcome back! Good holiday?:cool:

    Oh absolutely. I was trying to note that option without being too explicit about it - I was already in treacherous waters!

    You did. Actually, it isn't a debate. Moreso that some assume me to be male, others assume me to be female.

    Me being the hilarious character that I am (ha ha) I've never confirmed either way.

    How do you feel this confirms it nick? Go on...nail your colours to the mast...;)


    lj i'm absolutely positively sure you confirmed your femaleness before now.

    IIRC courvoisier is also a drink of choice in the bronx...

    I presume if you sell imported non prescription drugs. :)

    Good quality bottle is well over £50. Even the standard stuff is a fair wedge a bottle (£20+).

    Some how cant imagine them with a fishbowl glass, smoking jacket and cigar though. :)

    Only some are gone. Some are around less (viva, treliac, fc123 - always love reading her insightful postings, Inspector Monkfish & so many more).

    started on here 13 months ago. Regularly there used to be well over 30 posters in the day. Frequently struggles to get to 20 now. I hope after the GE it'll perk up a little, with more economic debate.

    I must say that this board used to be a phenomenal place where I learned so much. I still do learn stuff. But preferred debating rather than name calling which appears prevalent now...:(

    I am still looking in but don't have anything '' insiteful, witty or relevant'' to post at the mo.:(

    And I really don't want to bore you all with the inside info on the stresses of my life either zzzzz.:o

    To any Doomers....manufacturing pointless consumer goods (I will never label my products 'tat'...as if :D) is extrrreeeemely taxing and uses up loads of my brain power...so much that recently, it is just wrung out...a.nd If I try to write, just waffles comes out.

    BTW what was this thread about? Welcome to A Fresh New Poster :hello:

    I'm popping in, though not posting so much. Life and work have been very busy - other things keeping me away from the board.

    Glad you got away and back safely, viva. We've been thinking about booking something for a bit later in the year but will wait and see now. The ash problem could apparently go on for months. :eek:
