How is 'top 10% of men' defined? In online dating it's basically the men women want to date. That of course means they don't want to date 90% of men. There was another study ranking people above and below average in looks. The men ranked 50% of women above average and 50% of women below average. Ba...

Yep, None of the lads at work are very discreet especially the Scaffolders.

Ok OK, I’ll bite, although I know about as much as you seem to do about jurisprudence. What’s the difference between intervention and rehabilitation?

Bollocks Yooj, if everyone took you as seriously as you do, all you’d see on here would be ‘bollocks’. Given your taste in art, that might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Trick or Treating.

Not because we might chance upon the odd ‘dirty old man’ in the village (of which there were many, according to my folks)

Because it was ‘begging’.

Oh, and paternal advice that deviated from “smack em in’mouth, son”

At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it. Isn’t that the opening paragraph of One Hundred Years of Solitude ..?
