Mischievous *or* Sexy vs Mischievous *and* Sexy

Back in the MSN messenger days someone I fancied asked me if I ‘was SxE’ which I took to mean sexy and I said ‘thats not for me to say - what do you think?’ and it turned out she meant straight edge

I like how a good 70% of nominations are just people owning up to a dumb thing they did/were involved in!

(Thank you x)

"Pack of paprika crisps and a Maxibon please"

went to Spain for Benicassim when I was 18 and we got rushed by taxi drivers at the airport as you do. Vividly remember sweeping aside all of the haggling for custom in Spanish/English by saying “uno momento por favor” in an overly confident slightly pissed up manner. all of the taxi drivers started laughing and shouting “ooooo-oooh… uno momento, uno momento!” still no idea if that actually translates properly, was total guesswork that ‘momento’ is a word edit: @profk can you settle this for m…

Were my family normal?

One of my scariest moments as a young child was when my parents recorded a segment of mr motivator telling kids not to reenact scenes from power rangers or something, showing it to me, and telling me it had been specially recorded for me personally by mr motivator.

do you want me to add these awful posts to the poll as two options or combined into one?

[anon5266188]

Combined into one please Jukey-Boy. I think it’s far to say that exceptions can be made for when two technically distinct posts are clearly part of a wider, ongoing piece of work.

Can I un-nominate these posts?

[anon5266188]

No you can’t

Stuff you were fed as a kid

I went through a phase of being quite a fussy eater, and I think I sometimes went round a family friend/childminder’s house after school where I would be fed. I really liked jelly (all flavours) as a child, and if it was just me being fed at this place, I would sometimes simply have a bowl of jelly with a sausage in it.

Weird things you did as a child (2)

Hmmm. There must be loads. I was such a little weirdo. Remember being Hansel in the school play (year 5) and taking it far too seriously and insisting that everyone in my family called me Hansel instead of my name, and I’d constantly wear the fishing hat part of my costume. Got a pic actually [image] Would put on my mum’s high heels and wear her handbag and trot about the garden being, in hindsight, ridiculously camp and like a caricature of what I thought adult women were like. I’m an only …

I don’t know the death toll at which flirting becomes slightly less of an option, but I feel like Dany may have crossed it.

Evening thread ft. cows

Hi everyone. There is a guy at the nursery who looks like Damian Lewis aka BRODY from Homeland. He’s nice enough, always pleasant and I think that the dads that do the pick ups are pretty happy to see each other. I don’t know his kids name but he knows my kids name. At least, I think he does. He called her the wrong name a few times and I corrected him politely but it seems to have gone over well. Anyway I do that nod thing to him when we see each other so that’s good. Nice wee nod, nothing m…

For non-football-thread-goers, “dinger” = “humdinger” = “good game”.

“Ricky van Wolfswinkel” = actual footballer, not an in-joke.
