I dont mean to dis-respect anyone, but I just returned from Paris and I am fuming! I know that everyone knows that Parisians are rude but the way I was treated was just ridiculous! This coming from a New Yorker! Ok, I was in Paris for 3 weeks, in those three weeks, I was robbed(by Gypsee children), verbally attacked in the Metro by a crazy homeless woman, propositioned
by three hookers, it's beyond ridiculous, I will never return to Paris as long as I live. Oh, I know that this board is a UK board, and I must say that Londoners are angels compared to those Parisites!

I think you're opinion shows you're quite narrow minded. Parisians don't suck, FRENCH suck.

just like EU sucks

But of course you would never get robbed in New York, verbally abused by the homeless in New York or proposition by a hooker in New York...

(And that's just Central Park!!!)

well try Washington square.

I am automatically obliged to disagree on the grounds my Girlfriend is French and lives in Maux Paris...

But only for this wek right?

I COULD be deeply offended by a comment like that...BUt being a friend an all I'll take that as an aside jokin comment...sort of

Well, you made the topic about your high speed relationships, I thought it only reasonable to take the piss.

All in good fun though, never to offend.

well Zereil you asked for comments like this by posting your story with multiple girlfriends over a "very" short spand of time

DOnt worry honestly I'm not worried, your all friends of sorts and thats why I was willing to share this information with you. As said I never really plan for this sort of thing it just does happen and then I reflect. I'd love to meet and stick with the one perfect girl but I just have to wait and see...NO but thanks I'd rather get a friendly joke at my expense, its nice to no I have friends out in the wild blue yonder... groovy...

I don't know. I mean, he was just being open to us. It just depends on how Zereil considers these high speed relationships himself. I myself would hardly call them girlfriends if they last only a few days, but maybe I'm just being old-fashioned.

Anyway, French girls are not the worst French.

Girlfriends are those who go out with me and then declare to me, my friends and their friends that I am their boyfriend... automatically that means they are my GF, generally most of the girls I have been out with have lasted longer, the longest being a year and 1/2 and strangely I've often known them for a while before that anyway... Its all swings and round abouts... I mean its fairly clear, I want the perfect partner, but I dont like being alone, so rather than touching water slowly I dive in till I find flaws then leave, As said eventually I meet the perfect partner.

The other reason why is obvious, and I learnt a lot from it and about it . groovy

That IS good. But let me teach you another little lesson: there is no such thing as the perfect partner, just as much as you will never be the perfect partner. If you want two beings to match up perfectly, go and build droids.

hmmm...droids...nah, no when I say perfect I mean the closest too, I dont actually expect pure perfection of my ideals, Ask ush hes met a couple of the girls I've been with and I think he'll honestly tell you I am not judgemental and let a lot slide, It takes a lot to bother me with anything...

No, actually I don't, RC. I think that's a romantic ideal that can never be achieved. People are different, have different backgrounds, families, upbringings etc. The great challenge of a long lasting relationship is working on it, being grinded by each other's curiosities so in the end the two blend as one. I believe the latter is true, but it takes a lot of love and dedication to the other and less to the self. It's more hard work than fate, in which case one'd expect some kind of destiny to determine the quality of your relationship.

But isn't that a different thing, whether you ever meet them or not?

They may be there but if you never meet them how will you know.

Look, it's just not as celestial as that. You meet people, you meet a girl you like, she likes you and then there comes the point that you decide to have a life together. If and when you, that's when it all starts. It's from that point on that you dedicate yourself to one another. It doesn't mean this person is MADE for you, or that you fit perfectly together. You both decide your care enough about each other that you commit yourself. To make it work doesn't require fate, neither does it take fate to meet. Some things do just happen, you know.

You have od course noted that at no point did I say that I disagreed with you.

Did you know that sentences that start with the word "Look" are actually considered to be aggressive writing. Just thought I'd mention it...

Yeah, he does that when he's frustrated..


I recently read a study about how many 20somethings think that their supposed to find a perfect soulmate and how that ideaology is helping the divorce rate.

I think the ideal is nice, but with 6 billion plus people in the world the liklihood is that you will never find them.

So, you go the route as queeq descibed, and yopu still get to live happily ever after!

Sorry, look, I was, look, not aware, look, that, look, "look", had that connotation. Look, I will, look, never do it, again. See!

*Jumps around with glee...*

Whooohoooo, I ACTUALLY taught freeq something new. Do you think he'll remember when his transformation reverts?

Don't count on it.

Not that it matters. He can always re-learn...

Remember what?

Oh nothing...

Pst! No one tell him.

Hey, *I* believe in soul mates, in a sense.

I think I've found my soul mate because when I say something Mrs.MM always knows what I mean and the same goes for me with her. I can read the sub-text of everything she says perfectly and we often only have to look at each other to make each other laugh at something that has happened or been said. This could be mis-read as familiarisation but it's more than that, it's......deep, you know?

This could turn into something big.

Yeah, war with France

OH there's nothing wrong with the French..you people are just jealous..

*runs and hides*

Now there's a woman who's obviously never been to France.

And there's a man who was obviously scorned by a pretty French girl J/K

This thread was real nice not very long ago...

Yes, it went on for far too long being nice.

But no, no French girl ever scorned me.

Did you ever give one the chance?

No, I think my now-wife beat them to it.

Ah, pity the poor French girls...

Yes. And now they're all stuck with those horrible French guys.

So freeq, you don't believe that everyone has a perfect match out their somewhere, even if they never meet them?

suits them.

And you know soooooooo many french people, Miss "Never been out of her country!"

What I said...

Well I would think you would have to spend some amount of time there and meet *ahem* a few more people to make an accurate judgement. Could all have been just a bad coincidence. Like Dim's day at the laundry room.

And we all remember how that ended up...

No. Do tell.

Actually, Gundy, I did. Lots of times, that when I started to dislike them.

Well, let's not bring THAT up again, it would be . . . . ungentlemanly.

I lost my excellent sense of gentlemanness ever since Edna turned me into a freeq.

Well, that must be the one I found.

You don't seem to handle it very well.

Takes time to adjust to fit.

Can't blame you. It does require panache.

What's that then?

See!

Ahhh, I see.

Try the dictionary.

Will that help, is panache another word for dictionary then?

uuhhhm.... for you it is.

Well, I have a dictinary so does that mean I have panache?

No, it means you have the possibility to grasp the concept of panache.

Oh, gotcha.

*Scratches head...*

Scratching your head is no sign of panache.

Guess the dictionaru didn't help then.

Try NOT sitting on it.

(scratches Paris off vacation list) Anybody ever been to Transylvania ?

Yes, last time I checked on Vlad.

But he was just a pain in the neck? Am I right, I'm right aren't I?

To some yes, but he would never do that to his... MASTER.

His master? You?

So, does God sit on your right hand or your left?

That's a little profane. I have no delusions of grandeur, mind you.

(books flight to Transylvania) Ah, I need to get some re-decorating hints for the lab anyway.

But it is one of those areas where your point of view would determine whether it is profane or not.

Though your point is seen, my appologies if I did offend, but you take may point?

Aaaahhhh, a relaxing holiday in the Carpatian mountains with my favourite girlie, Gundy.

Somehow I believe that Tommy would kick your a$$!

Obviously you never met Tommy.

No, to pretend that I had would be very sad indeed.

For you, yes!

Hence I would make no claim. I would just get on a plane and go say hi!

In fact, I have a week off this week, got room for a house guess Gundy?

Bet your wife will love the black eye that you bring back from the States.

Why would that happen, I'd be going to say hi, you forget, I'ma happily married man.

Besides, who said I'd leave my wife behind.

Gundy would slap you, no matter what.

Well Gundy, that isn't a very nice attitude I must say.

Hello, I haven't been here for two days and now I have an attitude ? And who is always telling ME not to listen to queeq's felgercarb, eh, RC ? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black !



Unfortunately, won't have a spare bedroom until the patio room is done. And Tommy gets kind of cranky about extra people in our bed.

Yes, he already got pretty cranky when he had to sleep out side last weekend.

Sorry Gundy, but I do clearly remember you saying that queeq speaks for you all the time.

I suggest you take it up with him...

Hello? RC? I'm right here.

I know.

I thought you'd be happy.

I'm always happy...

How good of you.
