Oh this is just Bloody ridiculous.
Kate, I find your knowledge of deviant behaviour in the "back door" thread strangely interesting. You must have read some interesting novels.

Fair comment.

What is wrong with these broads?

One does not need to be a reader of novels to know the biology relating to reproduction. Anal intercourse does not require birth control. Fertilisation of an egg is not going to happen unless you have a connection between your vagina and your anus, in which case you have myriad other problems. Does that answer your query...good.

Tomorrow...

Thanks, I never quite understood the difference. My wife will be relieved that I have it sorted now.

In the interests of harmonious posting and to prove I am really not a dick. I will apologize for the Broad comment. Unreservedly and honestly.

How about "babe"?

By the way, my real name is Matt., babe.

You'd better bid a fond farewell to the wife and kids Matt.

I see very little posts about the Middle East or "World War 3". So do you act this hostile to all members, or just the "newbie"?
She's hostile to everyone Tolos so don't feel like you're getting special treatment

True, but we are paying for the same service, be it some 19 yr old student or a 40 yr old career waitress.

- what really annoys me, is the amount of people i have gone out with, who will just pay a 15-20% tip irrespective of service! even if its bad service!! and im sure there are plenty of resturant staff who realise and play on that.
