By that definition everything but food is a luxury. It is luxUry by the way.

Simply a bit of harmless banter. Nothing sinister, nothing cruel, nothing derogatory, simply a funny casual remark. NOT to be taken seriously.

I believe that it does. You are incorrect.

Who killed my thread? I said the Mod, I killed your thread , To make it dead, Take that as read.

"A woman's work is never done" is truly a very sexist statement. I retorted to a very sexist statement with a quip. The girl lost her rag. I am still awaiting her apology.

You enjoyed it and found it highly entertaining because you have a sense of humour. You do not take yourself, or life too seriously. Unfortunately there are a minority of people who are humourless and always look for fault in everything. They could never tell the difference between true sexism and banter because they are actively seeking out sexism. They are rather sad human beings. I am pleased that you enjoyed it.

Maybe she is not suited to bar work. Maybe you could get her a job making huge balls of cotton wool for you to lay in.

No comment.

I cannot understand why people slate Cameron. He is one of the most intelligent men who live at 10 Downing Street!

Did you think all that up all by yourself, or did you engage the assistance of a fellow moron?

I remember some lyrics from a song written some years ago: Far away across the fields the tolling of the iron bell brings the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spell. I must say that those were some of the best song lyrics that I have ever heard until this thread! "never had a strawberry as sweet as you, can't compare it to the curves on you"................shear poetry. Women built like strawberries are my favourite!

The lyrics that you quoted are obviously the work of a musical and poetic genius. I gasped in disbelief when I read them.

Maybe they were just violent fly tippers?

Espied..........

Maybe you run that slowly in a girlie like way that they think that you are walking?

If it is in the countryside and they are out walking or exercising their dogs, or running, they may consider you to be unsociable and rude. Whilst out walking we always say hi to the people who we meet whether we know them or not. It is almost etiquette in these parts.

Your admission that you have great difficulty in recognising acquaintances and that people say hello to you when you are out running, leads me to believe that people who you know are saying hello to you and you are ignoring them and looking at them as if they were something that you get stuck on the bottom of your shoe if walking on a pavement in Dore.

And banter is all that it is. It helps make the world go round.

It is very common knowledge that walkers and runners say hello to each other when out in the countryside. It is not something new or amazing. I find it pleasant. If you did not know this you should get up off your lard butt from behind your computer screen and get out more.

I would be more likely to say hello to a woman under the described circumstances. I would hope that my being friendly would put her at her ease. I would suggest that if any lady feels threatened by the presence of men when they run along paths in the Peaks they should either jog elsewhere or take a partner with them. This is not being sexist, but is merely common sense. There are places in Sheffield where I would not venture alone into at night and I am a big fit man.

Kindly desist from judging others by your own personal experiences.

They might be wondering what it is?

I often get women pestering me for my phone number when I go out running. They cannot leave me alone, some of them get so hot when they see me in my shorts.

Then take the lycra off.

You sound like the type of woman who only cares for a mans company if he owns it.
