    the over analysis is not just limited to the fairer sex VG and you tongue in cheek? Wouldn't say that... would say your foot is a bit closer.....

    Never test the depth of the water with both feet

    The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

    Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

        Do you mean 'straight to the point' instead of 'in code'?

            I'm going to redeem myself now by being honest (without any brutality) about how much easier I find women to get along with than men.

              honesty can almost always be delivered tactfully unless you're like me who spends most his life with both feet in mouth...

              the words are the same, the meanings vastly different

                Hmm..if it is any consolation Veggie, people are always telling me how glad they are to see the back of me !
                As for brutal honesty, it does seem to be a male thing, although not exclusively. For example, when I was travelling back with friends in a minibus from a weekend away yesterday, I was uncertain how I would travel the last few miles home. I mentioned that I would be reluctant to make Tom drive me from Kemnay (a considerable distance) but I would have no guilt whatsoever making Hugh divert from Banchory to Kincordine O'Neil (a few miles). Then I added, perhaps a tad too honestly, "Of course, I would have no guilt whatsoever getting Hugh to drive me to Timbuktu."
                To which he replied quick as a flash (typically Hugh), "I would have no problems at all driving you to Timbuktu Kenny, it is driving you back from there I would object to !"
                The worst of it was, as I said the words I knew there would be a race to make that comeback - the question was, would it be the guys or the women ?
                There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

                  Nice one, Snohare! It could have been worse, they could have said I'll pay for a one way ticket, take you to the airport and make sure you go.
                  I very much doubt that a "lady" like me would have even thought such a thing!!
                  Hope you had a great weekend - despite the insults!
