Oh, were you on about the CW member vogue? She's rather too old for him, no?

...think I asked you how old you thought I was because it sounded from the above that you were making me out to be virtually past it! ...and although I dont think you were being intentionally rude,as you dont know my age , you were making quite an assumption there..still...you are entitled to your opinions and assumptions....:)

Don't really think there's anything wrong with going with someone ten years or so older as long as you're not a kid...
...and tend to agree here,without going into too much of a debate about it...:)

As I say, certainly not assuming anyone to be past "it" - in my experience that doesn't come until a very late age indeed, and certainly not the mid-30s - but you're a good bit older than Pothas, of that there's no doubt at all.

Really? I've only ever used it in a harmless jokey way. Nothing to it IMO.
Personally I take it to be a term that's fine when used jokey but may not come across well on the net. That sort of thing is a very sensitive topic, see the kick in the balls thread in OT

Yeah AWTA.

Certainly would be more careful in future, Richard, as while it can be a joke, it can also be a serious accusation/criticism. I know you didn't mean to cause offence here (and evidently haven't, really) but offence is determined by who receives it; not who causes it.

Fair enough, @ both of you.

FTR have actually had the phrase "tsk, robbing the cradle" aimed at me on CW, many years ago. Telling that the person who used it was someone I knew well before said post. Someone whose search-feature skills (or even memory) were really good might even be able to find it.

Edgbaston tickets arrived in the post today. Have just spent an enjoyable 5 minutes fondling them.

This time I really went for it - got Warks membership last year, and Yorkshire both last year and this, so as to ensure tickets. Still waiting for Headingley tx to arrive though.

Also got my headingly tickets in the post today, although they nearly went straight in a bin because they came in a big A4 folder which said 'Welcome To Yorkshire' on the front, had a letter than said 'Welcome To Yorkshire' on the top and a 64 page brochure about Yorkshire, Only at the very back did i discover my tickets.

you bastards, you're making me paranoid with your stories of receiving your so-called Headingley tickets - where are mine? Where are mine? Have they been stolen in the post by some antipodean recidivist?

God, Ashes years are so ****ing stressful.

I wasn't allowed to cross the border for 14 years in the 80's-90's, I had to miss out on school trips and stuff because, since my Mum and her family are from Yorkshire there was a worry the Yorkie authorities would try and kidnap me. Never did get to go to Eureka

Her family left when she was a baby(seeking asylum in Bedfordshire), and she only found out about the terrible secret when she applied for her first passport when she was 24 and it came back with 'République française' on the front.
