    I saw a potential btl at the weekend - needs a total interior refurb but for medium rental not posh finish: needs kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 6 other rooms stripped, skimmed and decorated plus probably new windows - any NP fancy quoting?
    I think....

    That's what I assumed you meant. I'm now kinda curious about what else it could mean but am I curious enough to risk whatever horrors Google holds...?

    I thought it was a euphemism for to$$er. I am assuming I am wrong, but definitely not looking.

    Quoted it. Good enough?

    Josh has requested that I not get involved, he doesn't want us arguing/creating bad feeling over him. One thing I would also never do is advertise private family matters on social media, he did that when we split on a site I am involved with and it caused no end of trouble.

    Saying that, Josh has washed his hands of him now just as James did a few years ago.

    Emotional intelligence? Hmm, not sure he will ever be capable, he also doesn't learn...in his world, this is perfectly reasonable and trying to tell him otherwise is pointless. In the old days it would lead to lots of shouting, swearing and throwing of items as he was never ever wrong.

    Men are programmed as hunter gatherers. Emotional intelligence is not high on the list of survival traits in that job.

    I'm sure we can be taught to buy flowers, as part of the gathering process, but I'm still not very good at it. I look at cut flowers, and I know that they are already dying, as they have been cut off from their roots. Why would DW want me to bring decaying plant matter into the home?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Having read some NPs' reactions, I decided I'm not!

    For goodness sake, don't turn off safe search and type in 'pancake maker' into the video search function. I had to watch several videos to believe what I was seeing.

    Who knew naked gymnastics was a thing now?

    Good of you to go voluntarily through the horrors of watching such a video to spare the rest of us.
    And then to repeat the experience - several times.
    Above and beyond the call of duty.

    Luckily I only looked up the words, no videos involved.

    It's a service that I volunteer to the community.

    For example, I recently heard on the news that a gang were using attractive women to distract men with sex while their accomplice stole wallets.

    I was robbed on Monday, Thursday and twice on Friday. Wallets are two for a fiver at the supermarket BTW.
