I think she thought men were too easy.

Underestimated them so to speak although I do understand how that is so tempting.

You will never catch old spendi underestimating anybody. Not even a workshy layabout with 8 pints inside him.

If happiness actually is, as the divine Marquis said, the extension of pleasure and there is a price to be paid for it, which he duly did, then I think the price paid by the wife of a senior sanitation engineer represents something of a bargain and getting a good bargain is one of the very sweetest pleasures I am told that a lady of refinement and sophistication can experience. What is a few minutes every now and again of what Julie Burchill (a real feminist) referred to on Newsnight once in the presence of her ex-husband, a mover and shaker no less, as a "little local irritation".

Maybe smorgsie should read Jane Austen again only not as a story but more as a real feminist scientific treatise on the best way to proceed having found oneself stuck, through no fault of one's own, as a female person within what Charles Darwin, and many others, have called The Struggle For Existence or The Survival Of The Fittest.

Subjectivity is all very well if you don't mind when the fan with the **** hitting it is only a few inches from your fissog.
It was way past your bed time when you wrote this S.

Hmm so whats the solution? Better social housing? New infrastructure? Better schools/hospitals? Grants for business start ups maybe?

No, this is Britain 2007. A Los Vegas style super casino. With thousands of one arm bandits, into which the deprived population of East Manchester can pour their hard won benefit monies.

Or am I missing something here?

Should make for a good episode of 'Shameless' though.

I think they HAD to go with Manchester, because if London or Blackpool had got it, everyone would've shouted "fix".

Good luck to Manchester. I hope it creates hundreds of jobs along the way.

Bloody glad that London didn't get it, to be honest. The place is gridlocked most of the time already.

Damn, and I had visions of strolling down to the dome, spending the night playing blackjack, and then strolling into work.

Damn, double damn.

7 minutes? seriously? My boyfriend's 19 and he can last for at least an hour.
That must be wrong.

Let's hope that hour is a good one, PQ...

Youth is wasted on the young...

There's pleanty of older people who have fantastic, fulfilling sex lives. Sometimes seven minutes is all you need, if it's a good seven minutes, and it leaves time for a fag mid-session.

At n,n,n, nineteen, boys have the vigour, but not the experiance IMHO.

I do realise that everyone on here is exceptional and that the survey only dealt with averages. Thus Ellpus and Queenie's boyfriend must require others to be in the 4 or 5 minute range.

I remember a veteran of the North Africa campaign telling us about the queues in the brothels of Alexandria where anyone taking over 30 secs. was given a tickle from behind by the RSM with a thistle. But these veterans love to tell lurid tales to young lads.

And it was 7.5 minutes for us in the Brit world. The 7.0 was for the US. I forget who came best, or worst if you prefer. It might have been Turkey at 8 or 9. The survey was conducted in about 10 countries within the sphere of Western civilisation and not one reached double figures.

I reported it at the time on A2K and Lola took the 'ump a bit.

Perhaps it was a leg-pull.

One thing that gives some consolation is the Attenborough footage of the various beasts which show a range between virtually instantaneous (the flying f**k) and the long, languid caresses of the mighty king of the jungle at just under a minute.

As the Duchess said to the Archbishop- "pull mi nightie down when you've finished yer eminence."

They'll need plenty of people to flip the burgers.

I was kind of hoping it'd go to Blackpool, but it's an interesting prospect for Manchester Eastlands, the former "Workshop of the World".

Maybe they'll build the missing Metrolink tram link now, to Hyde.

Yes, I think it's unusual. When I was nineteen, Queen had just released "Bohemian Rhapsody" and, keeping in perfect time with the rythym, I could keep going right up until that "I see a little silhouetto of a man", but as soon as they speeded up into that classic rock guitar riff bit, it usually did for me, I'm afraid.

Sex usually lasts a lot longer though, as you get older. For a start it takes several more minutes to get up the stairs.

Maybe that's one reason why most people retire to a bungalow.

Bollocks! I am a sweet respectable slapper.

Bollocks! Although admit to a yearning for domesticity, and I am a good cook (boast, boast), I would love to have a lifestyle that allowed me to work part-time and spend the rest of the afternoon just dreaming up recipes, baking banana bread and swooning round sainsbury's like a Stepford Wife... but sadly, I know that will never happen. I'm pushing 50 now, no-one's going to take me on, besides, most men think I'm strange and that's fine by me. I was once described as a 'posh scally'... I like that tag, nearly as much as 'pink chubby'.

Quote:

They are! But I don't mean that in a disparaging way... they're just less complicated than women. They display their agendas quite openly, I like that in men or women. It doesn't mean I don't like them, I love men. It's just I've not met many who were my match, they mistake my independence for aloofness sometimes, but it's not the case, I'm kind and very loving, but I can't play the game as well as other women.

Bollocks! I never underestimate anyone! Especially not you.

Sweeping Bollocks! I've no yearning for a bargain, I don't even like shopping... and I'm more of a feminist then JB will ever aspire to be. So are most women I know.

You patronising bugger! I have always considered JA to be the perfect feminist. I am NOT stuck, I'm just surviving, like everybody else.

Don't forget it's my birthday next week spends, shall I send you my address?

I see Manchester has been awarded the contract for the carsinole of capitalism when it reaches the point of not being able to think up what to make next to add a further increment of pleasure to our already abundant lifestyles. A carsinole is a place where you shift money from A to B and charge a fee for it. And Mr Brown charges a fee for granting permission for folk to do it. Nothing is made of any use to anybody. Any brief moments of euphoria are soon liquidated by the days of desperate gloom. Anyway-Congratulations Manchester. Capitalism was born there and it is fitting it should peg out close to its roots.

Now that is not how a posh lady talks. It isn't the sort of language a lady would use on first meeting a retired solicitor whilst strolling along Llandudno front ( that's not a Ludo joke) who's wife has just run off with a younger man and he is on holiday trying to get refocussed and staring vacantly out to sea with the Financial Times upon the seat beside him lying open at the Latest Prices page.

What that has in common with the first sentence of Pride and Prejudice I cannot imagine.

If you are kind and loving the greying but distinguished looking retired solicitor wouldn't bother how you played the game.

Aw come on Mac.

Patience is a virtue.

One does have to consider the difficulties other people might be working under.

The world isn't designed for your convenience you know. I have the impression that the Grauniad and The Independent prosper by attempting to give their readers a sense that it is but I'm sorry to be the one to inform you that it is one giant lie and you are of no consequence whatsover (tautology for emphasis) not no-way no-how. You are lucky you are not real cannon fodder.

What a world it would be if it was. You would be getting an award for having seen the facade of the Algonquin hotel and given a peerage.

Which reminds me that GONGSIEGATE is the word we want for the stuff swirling about the commanders just now.

I presume the actress thinks that 7.5 minutes is an indulgence which tries her patience.

Men (of a certain age) always take exception to the way I talk, but it's the way I talk, and the way my peers talk. I've said this before - I'm a working class woman and I don't give a ****. Of course I don't go into the grocers and say "give me some effing Eccles Cakes", I do exercise discretion. But I've been on this site since 2004, and I can talk how I want. You're not the moderator of me spends!

Mornin' buggers! btw
