Women?

Have to cook more than sausage and rancid cabbage over here though.

Its not beer its lager.

your experience so far has obviously not been good.

Just joking, Trevor. My experience during three years in London wasn't that bad, really.

Nevertheless, I was shocked to see that many households in the UK didn't have a dinner table! Even more bizarre was wall-to-wall carpet in the kitchen ...

Trevor,

Any favourites you want to share? I am particularly partial to my homemade spinach, ricotta and Parmesan ravioli with a drizzle of garlic enthused butter but it is so time consuming to prepare I rarely indulge myself.

garic enthused butter?
I like that one!
gosh I have so many favourite recipes, it's hard to know where to start.
I'm not so into pasta.
do you like game, or seafood?
my tastes are mainly traditional, and one of my favourites for sunday lunch is roast haunch of venison on a bed of celeriac mash with puy lentils in a port wine and cranberry jus.
serve that with some simple veg like Jersey Royals, and purple-sprouting broccoli, finish it off with fresh thyme and rosemary, and you have a really nice dish.
another one is steamed whole seabass and langoustines with saffron and ginger, sui-mei, and singapore noodles.
I usually do that one for friends.
if you want the recipes, send me a pm.
I don't want the thread going any further off topic!

the restaurant food in london, in the main is either world-class, distinctly average, or very poor.
there are also some small family-run places that are excellent, but you need to know where those are.
if you're a stranger and don't know where best to go, chances are you'll be ripped off, and get some mass-produced micro-waved muck, or a pre-prepared (read as days old) reheated mess on a plate.
if you can afford the michelin-starred restaurants, then you'll eat some of the best food in the world, but even then you're probably still being ripped off, compared to when eating very similar food at family-run establishments in a less expensive area of the city.
dinner tables?
for everyday meals, they're mostly defunct here in the uk, as the tv dinner reigns supreme.
yep, eat with a tray on your lap as you watch the footie!
the carpet thing has probably as much to do with the cold weather as anything else.
witness also carpets in bathrooms!
the only two rooms that have a carpet in my house are the bedrooms and the lounge.
the rest have real-wood floors and rugs.
it's much easier to keep things clean that way.
england is not alone though - there are some peculiar household traditions in germany too!

What's wrong with shagging?

What you're apparently missing is that, after hifi, cars and motorbikes, having the quote unquote right attitude about women has turned into a Big Status Thing here.

Have you forgotten the way everybody and his dog turned out to give advice to (was it?) Redgirl? Boy, we're so sensitive these days.*

If I have to go to the extraordinary sick lengths to undress in front of a woman, I'm going to have sex with her too, for chrissake. I have plenty of friends, thank you.

*please note, too, how this topic by a snail's hair escaped turning into a query whether it's ok to master bate thinking about a girl without having asked her first... Fortunately Toy wasn't around when that happened.

I can't believe this. A thread starts about Women, and you lot start talking about cooking! Have we not left that one behind?

Bloke: I know you only want to be friends and you don't want to shag me but would it be ok if you were the subject of my wanking thoughts?

Bird: [Gasp]

Bloke: No, no I don't mean that you have to be there with me perving on you or anything like that. I'll be in my own bed in my own room, in my own flat on my own, ok?

Bird: [Secretly enjoying the attention: oh yes, how flattering!] ...disgusting, sad little wanker!

Correctly if I'm wrong but whatever else, our private thoughts are still our own.

Steve.

WEll said Steve the crux cum gusset of the matter, if we're so daft to make private fawts/faults pubic then TUFF (without ht emagnet in the heel)

Mr Toy your immediate and forthright defense of anything regarding women is a little disturbing, is there anything from your childhood you want to discuss or does your wife to be beat you?

Not the brightest penny in the jar today, are we garyi? It certainly wasn't the best day to play armchair psychologist, now was it?

My above post was hardly defensive of women as egocentric duplicity isn't exactly a terribly endearing trait in my book, but then women just as much as men own their private thoughts...

A man is caught wanking in his front garden by a woman.

"Are you thinking about me?" asks the woman.

"No. About your twin sister."

"You fucking pervert", says the woman stabbing him in the eye with a pair of scissors but secretly pleased as the sexual idolisation of her twin means she is admired physically without it being personal or in any way mucky.

Tha man's mistake was to have mastabatory fantasies about a mentalist armed with a pair of scissors. This was compounded by poor choice of location -- this act conducted in his back garden would have been socially acceptable and less threatening to the woman and probably would not have resulted in her physical attack.

Come on Matthew, I've checked, and www.taooftoy.com is available. This is a field of dreams thing, for sure.

I have appointed myself as Steven's agent and have several deals on the go. I can't say too much at this point but I think by this time next year you'll all be impulse buying "The Little Book of Toy" from the pile by the checkout in Borders.

Not sure about all this.

Masturbating whilst thinking about a women you'll never be with - I guess there's not too much wrong with it, but I'm sure some women may be offended and some may not.

Maybe masturbation could be entitled 'doing a Dom'

'Birds' - never did like that, but I'm not too keen on: 'er indoors, the other half, the missus etc. either, although having said that I'm pretty messed up!

No, I#ve changed my mind ***

Apart from choosing a "mentalist" (whatever that it), surely the man's mistake was to state he was thinking about her sister. If the answer had been herself, perhaps she would have just shouted abuse, but not the attack. Her asking the initial question was to find out if she was the centre of his attention.

So first off the thread entitled "women" goes off onto cooking, and then diverts into masterbation!!
Fuckin' 'ell..
Maybe internet forums really are just for losers and misfits. Well really - it doesn't look all that good, does it!

Its not beer its lager.

---

It's beer. Blond beer. It contains four basic and very beery ingredients - malt, hops water, yeast. Ok the malt isn't always roasted to give the beer a darker colour, it is fermented by a slightly different process that involves having the technology to brew at low temperatures, it isn't always unpasteurized, although sometimes it is.

OTOH, it isn't loaded with artificial colourings (caramel anyone), preservatives, antioxidants, pellets to make it ferment artificially faster, particles of dead fish to make it clear artificially faster, refined sugar to increase the strength whilst cutting back on the malt, and it tastes consistently good without being headless and fizzy - now that's lager.

This "beer/lager" distinction used in Britain is jingoisic nonesense suggesting that the former is "real beer" and the latter is something inferior from foreign lands.

In the supermarket it is quite annoying to find a French unpasteurised, top-fermented, ruby-coloured beer refered to as lager - presumably just because it is foreign.

Don't you love it when you have to explain your use of irony?

I am working on something that incorporates the comment:

"PS: I'm very PC where women are concerned."

whilst in the same thread dehumanising women by calling them "Birds"

If you look at the sketch above you'll see (although may have deliberately chosen to ignore for the purposes of mischief) that I've attempted to dehumanise both the male and the female by refering to them as "bloke" and "bird" respectively.

I should have refered to them as "Wanker" and "Egomaniac bitch" respectively.

It was garyi's turn to be a bit dim yesterday...

Steven's channelling Alanis!

"I've attempted to dehumanise both the male and the female by refering to them as "bloke" and "bird" respectively."

Why not "Chap" and "Bitch"?

Quite. Except that "Chap" is a little more endearing than "Bitch."

How about "Twunt" and "Bint?"
