Was in shop browsing/looking for some crystal. Was told there was some under counter. I bend down and there is a crash behind me. I turn round and see a display which was on 3 'pillars' of different heights. On tallest one there was a large silver frame for kids 1st birthday which had toppled onto other 2 pillars and tossed their display of silver and crystal baby/kids stuff onto floor. I asked stupidly "did I do that as I was just bending down to look at display you directed me to?" I was already wording the get out clause. Girl replied with some class "Yeah, you hit it with your fucking arse" With this response I decided that was it , it was their problem for setting up an unstable stand in stupid place and loose items on top etc etc and muttered something like that along with " I dont think much is broke" and dandered out.

They didnt try and stop me so I am in clear then?

Andy - details of the Venezuelan bird, svp?

She likes to touch me for no reason, makes lots of eye contact, laughs too strongly at only mildly amusing jokes. Doesn't seem to do this to the other guys on the team. Will have to work a bit closely with her to risk any shenanigans. Besides which, I'm a rubbish liar, so wife finding out would be inevitable.

Beat: Wife wants me to herself.

Brag: Wife continues to be awesome for all the reasons I married her.

Variance: Still feels like a missed opportunity.

You should probably stop flirting with her so.

Towards the end of his life, Sir John Betjeman was asked if he had any regrets. "Yes," came the disarmingly frank reply. "Not enough sex."

Not sure if its been scientifically tested.
Am sure girls find attatched guys more attractive possibly time to start wearing a fake wedding ring.

That makes sense to be fair as married men are generally going to have it more together in terms of finances, emotional stability, etc.

15th wedding anniversary coming up. Apparantly thats a crystal one and as wife into 'angels and feathers!' I was looking for something representing one or both of these.

The fact that I will be starting pike fishing on regular basis soon has no part to play in my thoughfulness

There was some experiment (ducks maybe?) whereby the few male ducks who were witnessed engaging in coitus by a group of female ducks got all the duck pussy there after. Sick life. Pre approved innit, time saver.

Guess Colombians are less affected by the social constraints such behavior can illict, they are abroad too.

tldr: Womens, monkey see, monkey do.

Raoul Duke, Andy, the married lads here don't buy overly expensive umbrellas for the lolev or even to shield them from occasional showers. It's to shoo away the never ending storm of pussy cascading towards them everytime they step outside the gaff.

Probably best have at least a fake marriage under your belt.

Small sample size, but I've definitely recieved a lot more female attention since getting married. It's like they think you're much safer to talk to because you're going home to someone else. e.g. They don't seem to mind as much when you catch yourself staring at their tits*. I'm sure there's a biological factor at play here as well, probably to do with competition for tribal status or something. Any evolutionary biologists in the house?

Friend of mine also has the theory that female sexuality is not nearly as different to male as we think. He reckons women like married men for the same reason men like prostitutes - there's no chance they'll want a relationship, just a shag thx. I'm kind of with him on this.

*Had a fun conversation a few weeks ago explaining to a bunch of women that this is completely involuntary and most guys don't even know they are doing it. Once I explained that it's like trying not to think of pink elephants when there's one dancing in front of you, they had a lot more empathy and dropped the standard "All men are just pigs" angle.

Using biology/evolution arguments wins no favors as rightly or wrongly it objectifies the said boobies as objects to be taken in a smack over the head drag back to the cave kind of thing.
You could make the brent-esque argument that the cleavage shape resembles the traditional heart shape which is as we all know, based off the view from the rear during coitus. This would then lead onto the fact breasts developed as they are to encourage face to face mating which dramatically increased the need to communicate with the opposite sex and in turn made man the dominant species on earth. Using this you can logically follow through saying that each time you observe or are caught observing said mammaries, you are unconsciously acknowledging the need to communicate with the person and not simply breaking them down into a sum of desirable parts.

Or you could say you are a budding artist and while most are drawn towards perfect symmetrical form, you find that true beauty is hidden in the uniqueness of the average unsymmetrical set of bangers.

Most ducks are monogamous. Also Mallard ducks are notorious rapists and engage in gang rape.

You learn some strange things in sociobiology.

Sort of wondering aloud here, but what would a bookies designed by punters be like?

Are the goals of bettors and bookmaker too diametrically opposed that you couldn't design an outfit that would both satisfy gamblers and be profitable.

It was a winner imo.

The slow cooker wasn't though, got one yesterday and tried housekeepers cut in it, 8 hours later it was just as tough as it would have been for 90mins in an over, live and learn etc, was still tasty though.

SPOILER

I did this last week and it came out so tender. What did you put in the slow cooker with the cut?

Be careful with TD. They will screw you on currency if you are planning to trade USD/GBP stocks and your base account is EUR. Their software is also pretty crap tbh.

My preference is Saxobank. Better fx rates, better software/charting and now offering options. Good customer service too. GL

Davy's commissions are woeful.

My one is a 6.5litre and it was not that expensive. 25.00 out of argos.

Used to have a smaller one but ended up cooling things in pots as I couldn't fit it all in. This thing is great but prob too big for a fella like yourself.

With regard to married men and fertility etc:
Sister lives in an area that is somewhere between milf central and stepford wives ground zero.
Go for lunch with the sister and the 4 month old nephew about once a week.
& Everytime I wheel the buggy or hold the kid I gain the type of attention from the Julies that is usually kept for the bradley pit types!

She finds this hilarious even though this is obviously this is the type of attention I should get anyhu, but alas the world dinna work like that.

With regard titties:
I always found/thought showing interest but being the only guy not staring at the best tits in the room to be +EV

With regard to school around the bollix:
Fuck you DP; I never even watched that shite and the song is now stuck in my head
