sick trio jailed Posted: 10/4/2009 2:28:48 AM
O do not think it matters if the abuser is male, female, black, white, young or old, they are still an abuser, and should be treated as such. Previously somebody said "abusers can not be cured" I think that is true. Even with all the psychiatric intervention they will receive in prison, they will never be "cured" it may be surpressed, but who's to say that at some stage these "cured" animals will not feel the need to re-offend. And another poor child will be the victim. The excuses that they were from a abusive family, makes no difference, there are NO excuses for child abuse, and the sentance should mirror that. My feelings are with the parents of the children. Do you or do you not want to know if your child was one of the abused? How do you make that desision. Also the two husbands and children of the women envolved, how must they feel? As for the guys wife, im not so sure. She stayed with a man who had convictions for sexual abuse and was once on the registar (why the hell did he ever get taken off?). She has to look to herself and her decison. Until we make it totally socially un-acceptable to be involved in this, things will not change. People who are convicted of a child abuse crime, come out of prison back to their wife, family, job they should be ignored like a social leper. And guy who go to Thailand to sleep with school girls, you are not better. Even if they are of age, to fantasize about it is the same, and you are just staying "legal" by being with a woman of age, so again its very much the same. Thats just my opinion, but on this subject, if it offends anyone.........tough!

Are you demonstrative? Posted: 10/2/2009 12:13:37 PM
Many people draw away from shows of affection, and if thats how they are, thats that. I didnt think it mattered when I got married, and for a few years it didnt. Then as I grew older and my relationship changed, there was no hugs, cuddles, hand holding to suppliment anything else. Looking back, I realise that I did miss, holding hands, cuddles and somebody telling me they loved me, and still do. Some times now I would give anything for a pair of strong arms round me, a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. A tactile man cant be beaten, one who shows his feelings, and is happy to show public emotion, is a catch. Where are you !!!!!!!!! Just my opinion of course.

why do men go to prostitutes and women dont?? Posted: 9/30/2009 11:29:12 AM
As lots have said, there are male escorts around, who enjoy having sex with a woman and getting paid for it. When I was in Amsterdam with a girlfriend a few yrs ago, we were offered the "services" of a man, on quite a few occasions. It was a shock the first time, but we soon got used to it. Many women have a emotional attachment to sex, but not all. I beleive there are many women who see sex in the same way as many men. We are all different, and at different times need differing things. As women we dont always want an emotional attachment, just a bit of fun, like men do. And lastly using the services of a Prostitute or Escort, men and women can indulge in things that maybe their partner is not happy to participate in. Who are we to judge?

Can you talk to your children/parents about sex? Posted: 9/30/2009 12:30:27 AM
The subject of Sex, was not something my parents felt comfortable with. I remember my mother giving me a magazine one day, and saying read this article. When I looked it said "How to discuss sex with your child" I read it, found if unclear as I was only 12, and went and quizzed by step-dad all about it. Poor man, he spluttered his way through an hour of embarassment, leaving it no clearer. My aunt was 9 yrs older than me, and she was my saving grace. I used to sit on her bed and watch her getting ready to go out, and she would explain what she was doing. Then the next morning I was back round to hear all about the night before ! Put me off for years.

Loneliness!!!! Posted: 9/21/2009 12:28:23 PM
There are very few people who do not at some stage in their life suffer from a bout of loneliness. Im sure once you are back on your feet and can get out and about, things will look better. I miss the company of a guy, and that can be lonely. When you come in and there is nobody to talk to about your day. And the main thing is the thought of being alone until your old. OMG that sounds really sad, but thats how Im feeling today.

pen pals in prison.. Posted: 9/21/2009 11:51:51 AM
I would not write to anybody in prison unless I knew them. And even then it would depend on the crime. All mail used to be screened before the prisoner received it, but now, there is no screening either in or out, I beleive. These people are in a very insular world, and many use any outside contact to keep them going. I think you have to be very careful what you do and do not say in a letter, without facial expressions, words can take on a different meaning. Somebody said about visiting people in care homes and hospices, if this is something you would like to do contact the local home, or contact your local volunteer centre.

Wheel Clamping........... More Fines !! Posted: 9/14/2009 4:28:05 AM
I do think there should be some sort of legalisation; they seem to be able to start up anywhere. I also believe that some, not all, clampers are very intimidating especially to loan women. I was clamped last year, in a town that all bar 2 car parks are free from 6pm-8am (only found that out on being clamped). It was 12.45am only me and a small van in a dimly lit car park behind some shops, I rang the number and was told we will be with you with=in the hour. I explained I was alone and would appreciate if they could make it a priority. Sat I’m my car feeling very vulnerable and annoyed I had made this mistake. After 35mins, the small van started up and drove passed me, stopped reversed, and yes, the bl..dy clamper got out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I was livid. Asking why the hell he had sat and watched me for all that time, he said “I was on my break” why in hells name didn’t you just come and say that to me I would not have sat here like a prospective victim. He’s answer to that was “well I’m here now”. If I was to be fined a further £100 for being abusive to him, then I might as well handed my keys over and walked home, because he got the full range of my anger that night. I paid my fine, wrote to the company with my complaint 3 times, and didn’t even get a reply. I know they are only doing a job, but do they have to make it so unpleascent?.

visible tattoos, opinions? Posted: 9/14/2009 3:52:29 AM
I think you should think carefully before you have a tat, and more importantly where you have it. Your tat's should be for you, and nobody else, mine certainly are. Some people choose to have very visable ones, some very private ones!, but the point is, its their choice, nobody elses. We should not judge people on their tattoos, just as we should not judge by their choice of house, car, hair style, disability, but unfortunatly we do. Look beyond what you first see , not easy, but if we all tried, there might not be so many single lonley people.

How reliable are the forums for judging someone's character? Posted: 8/15/2009 2:26:11 PM
I don’t think you can really judge somebody without being face to face with them. And it takes time, as people consciously and unconsciously hide things. You see a lot from people’s traits, and the way they engage with you. These forums are a slightly “false” environment; everybody is “performing” to some degree, that’s all part of nature.

Shannon Mathews Mum has been sent down for eight years Posted: 1/23/2009 3:35:06 PM
No way is that long enough. I think she should be held on the main wing for her time. She will then have to watch her back every minute of the sentance, and never be relaxed. The women in the wing will sort her out. Unfortunatly she will be given special treatment and placed in a wing full of child molesters and the such, where she will be "safe" and with others like her. I hope her kids are all placed in homes where they get treated better, and lets face it that will not be hard.

Watching it now. Stephen Fry was on he is good, Lee Evans was good.......your never quite sure what that guy is going to do. Tom Cruise is on now, don’t like him. Rossy has been good, but not a controversial as usual, which is a shame. He is near the knuckle so often, but that what makes him who he is.

Used to being single Posted: 12/29/2008 4:54:06 AM
I would not say I "enjoy" being single, but definatly preferable to living with ex. I enjoy making then decisions myself, a few have not been so good, but it makes me feel good about myself again. Its great to be able to watch what I want on TV, go where I want to go on holiday, paint the wall the colour I want (even if it is the wrong choice)! Its great to have control over your life, not had this for a while. But I do miss male company, I have a couple of really good friends, who allow me to use there hubby's for my fortnightly "male chat", and thats all ! They are special friends. I miss watching tv with either an arm around me, or having a "human" pillow. A man to put his arm around me and tell me its all going to be ok (even if its not). And the main thing, that silly little grin he gives when he catches your eye, and the quick peck as he dissapears out the door. God didnt realise I missed so much !!

Open relationships Posted: 10/6/2008 7:16:50 AM
I too am a "one man woman"......or should it be a "no man woman" lol. An open relationship is not for me but that’s not to say I can maybe see how it is the right relationship for some people. If two, or more, ! People are happy with the situation then as long as its not hurting anybody else, then who are we to pass judgement.

Political Correctness Posted: 10/6/2008 7:05:09 AM
I agree with a lot of what you say. PC is a term to cover up do-gooders sticking their nose in things that they mainly know nothing about.......ducks behind the wall to escape the arrows If people come to this country by choice, then I believe they must abide by our rules, if they break the rules, then send them back. If we went to a foreign country we would be expected to a-hear to their rules, the article in the paper being the point, it was against their rules and the two were punished. We should have respect for the places we go, and hopefully visitors will do the same, then the PC brigade will have to find another soap box to climb on.

If anybody is on a benefit or has an over 70 living with them, they may be entitled to a goverment grant. Take a look at this site www.warmfront.co.uk my friend moved recently and has her dad living with her who is 81, the property only had partical central heating in, warmfront put new heating, loft insulation in for free.

Seeing a married/attached person.. Posted: 10/6/2008 5:24:48 AM
I was really shocked to see how so many said no to this. I have a friend who is seeing a married guy, when I asked her why she said because he was "safe" and would never leave his wife, which is what she wanted. I reminded her that it was only 2yrs ago she found out her hubby was cheating on her and it ruined her marriage, she said that was not her problem. I personally would not enter into a relationship with a married or attached man, somebody always gets hurt in the end, so I want to make as sure as I can its not me, and would be devastated if I knowingly hurt somebody else.

Thing I would like to get back is the long days out on my bike with friends, riding where ever we want, which whoever we wanted. We went out early and came back after dark. totally knackered. Fell into bed with just enough time to think of what to do tomorrow. No tossing and turning, worrying about Kids, bills, partners, and everthing else. Oh and dropping into my nan's as she always had chocolate biscuits and home made cake.

Life changing decissions Posted: 2/21/2008 2:41:35 PM
I think many of us have made life changing decisions, more than once. I made a decision a few years ago, to walk away from a situation with the love of my life from 30yrs ago, because I was still married. Two months later the marriage was over, and the love of my life had left the country............boy do I regret coming home that night, but my life is better now.

It must be nice to be so self rightious and sure that you will never suffer with any sort of emotional setback. Most normal people do suffer from some sort of emotional in-security during there life.

Pub chain limits parents' drinks Posted: 1/4/2008 2:28:19 PM
I heard this, and wondered how they are going to police this? When Witherspoons first started there was no children allowed at all. I have kids and used to take them to the pub as a treat for food, but always went to a child frendly pub. I think that there should be some pubs like the witherspoon chain, that do not allow children, tv's , then at least you would know that where ever you went that chain did those rules.

I know how you feel, very let down. She is a silly girl if she was using your pc and left things like that on it. My situation was at work manager went into hospital for an op and 4 weeks off. I was doing her job so was on her/works pc, came across not only slanderious (did I spell that right)? things about me, from somebody who I had confided in, but emails back and forward with another person in the office, slaging everybody else off. I have since moved jobs but still hold all the "evidence" one day it will come in useful. In you situation, I think I would copy the chat only onto a cd, and give her that, see what she says to you if anything.

Its very difficult to get over having anything different than "the norm", but I always think that if somebody is honest and you get on with them, then it should'nt matter, but then there a lot of shallow people about. You are still who you are teeth or no teeth, and lets face it most of us will end up with some form or false teeth as we get older, and like somebody has said better that then rotten yellow ones, that will put people off.

Hen nights and Stag do's.... Posted: 5/5/2007 8:32:36 AM
My daughter went on a hen night earlier in the year and the theme was "small animals" she went as a bee. black and yellow fishnets one of each, one balck one yellow shoe. Black shorts. Black top ripped with a yellow one underneath to show through. Sprayed fairy wings, headband with wobberly black and yellow bobbles, and black and yellow make up. She looked great. There was a ladybird, mouse, fly, it caused quite a stir in the local pubs, but then they verntured into the city, at 3am 4 of then deceided to get a kebab, and sit in the park, all fell asleep, and ended up getting the bus home at 8.30am and they got some very unusual looks. I went to one years ago the theme was nuns, that was a good one as then not many people dressed up.

Would you Date Someone Who Wears a Hair -Piece ? Posted: 5/5/2007 8:22:54 AM
As Blueskies said, how about people that suffer from Alopecia? If you see a bald man or a bald woman, people assume that they are bald through choice. But this may not be the case. This is another case of not getting to know the person just making a judgement on the first sight. What if you met a guy/girl in a bar one night and really hit it off, then 3-4 mettings down the line, she/he tells you that they have had major surgery and now have a colostomy bag? The majority of you would say not a problem. But if when you had first seen her/him she was wearing that bag on the outside of her clothes, 99.9% of you would not go near them. My point is that we all should be more open to people who are different to us in one way or another, and dont make judgements from the first look. Lets face it we all have things we do not like and hid, just think if you had something you could not hid from others, if you did have, it takes a lot of courage to go into a "perfect" world with a "defect"

Motown Posted: 4/16/2007 4:49:21 PM
Wow there is more to Motown than the music, its a way of life a religion. Motown has never gone out of popularity, at least for the really fans. Somebody said about the Northen Souls scene, thats still going strong, and it is not only in the north but all over the country. Many of the bands and singers today have their roots in Soul music. I cant pick out a favorite, as there is far too many to choose from but one of my all time favs is Marvin Gaye, "Whats going on" Temptations "Just my imagination" Curtis Mayfield , James Brown , Bill Withers..................and the list goes on and on and on You get my drift. So long live the music

Your first Love Posted: 4/9/2007 8:51:33 AM
I treated my first love badly, he was a bit older than me and ready to get into a heavy relationship, I was still up for a laugh and fun, thought he was boring. 8 yrs later he married a girl i knew a bit and I also married. He seperated from her and contacted me saying I was the one he had always loved ! He then met another girl and had 2 kids with her, speperated from her 4 yrs ago. I met him by chance when my marraige was rocky. went out with him a couple of times but because I wanted my failing marraige to work I pushed him away. Now on my own and realise what I gave up all those years ago, and yes given the chance I would give it a try. Good job one oh us was faithful in the marraige!

Nienna That is appauling treatment. Put it in writing to the agent giving them 10 days in which to sort it or you will withold rent and get it done yourself. If you have a gas safety certificate, look on there and see what plummber was used, this will eith be the landlords own or the one the agency used, use them and the agency or landlord can not say they do not agree with that plumber. It might be a good thing to ask the agency for the landlords contact details, they have to give you one by law if you ask with in 48hours. Contact your landlord, he may not know he has a crap agent. Also if you get no where and the agent is a mamber or ARLA or NALES, then contact them and get them involver. Good luck let us know how you get on.

Peanut Firstly you need to contact the Environmental Health department, tell them you have a baby and kids, and that the landlord has not cleared rubbish as promised from the garden. Secondly, ask them about the problems you have internally. If they are not in a position to help with these, then you need to sit down and write a letter to your landlord, pointing out all the problems you have. If you have a tenancy agreement, look through it and quote the paragraphs that he is breaking, keep it polite and to the point. At the end of the letter say that you feel he is breaking the terms of the contract, and you are infact giving him 10 days in which to resolve these problems, and if he does not do this, you will then withhold the rent and instruct contractors to do the work. You are entitled to do this, you must at all time make sure that the rent due is there in a account ready to pay either him, if he does the work, or the contractors. And do you have a gas safety certificate? It should cover your boiler and any other appliances that belong to your landlord, i.e gas fire, gas cooker.. You have to by law have a copy and it has to be done every 12 months, it is a major point, and the landlord can be fined up to £10k for not having one. As the other peeps have said citizen’s advice is very helpful. Another thought is if you are getting help with your rent i.e housing benefit or top-up. Then the council should be your first port of call, and they have a duty to help you with your landlord as they are paying the rent. Good luck, let me know how things go and I will try to help.

Doing radical things to your hair when its time for a change Posted: 4/6/2007 10:39:21 AM
When I was at school I dyed my hair platinum blonde, naturally it was auburn. I then decided that my eyebrows looked stupid, so seeing I did not have the patience to pluck them, I took dads shaver and off they came. I went to school the next day feeling very proud; all my friends thought my hair look great! It was not until quiet a few years later that an old school friend showed me a picture that I realise just how stupid I looked. Not only did the platinum blonde hair stand out, the lack of eyebrows made me look like a albino! Also being nearly 6 ft tall I you could not miss me.
