Haha, this thread is so reminiscent of a million conversations I've had with various colleagues and friends! Agreed, The Moor is Chav Central - an explosion of teenage mums with tramp-stamps, their scrawny rat-fink boyfriends and pigeons that have devolved into fat, flightless vermin that live on a diet of chips and fag-ends! It's a beautiful place....

For me, it's gotta be, in no particular order.... Lyrics Born and Lateef from Latyrx Beasties Boys Roots Manuva The Gift of the Gab from Blackalicious ODB from Wu Tang Chali 2na The Pharcyde Guru Eric B Mos Def The list goes on.............but it certainly doesn't include Black Eyed Peas!!

Barny, he is indeed a GREAT guy, if a little smug at the moment but I can forgive him that as he's soooo lovely.... As for my avatar - well spotted, however did you know that?

I am with a man 10 years younger than me, and I reckon the age difference matters more to me than it ever would to him. In an annoyingly stereotypical and paranoid way, I worry that I will start to look 'old' and he'll end up doing one with someone his own age. He generally tells me to just stop being a silly cow! On the plus side (of which there are many ), I find him refreshingly free of all the utter ******, baggage and pretensions that older men (in MY experience, I hasten to add!) bring with them. He also doesn't pass out from exhaustion after peeling a feckin satsuma....or summat;)
