At last, I know where I have been going wrong. Pretty much all apply.

Hahaha! Although I think a few people round here would consider the last one an opportunity not to pass up

Ah, what the drunk women don't know won't hurt them.
(Don't tell Mumsnet I said that).

You often tug at your girdle and have wrinkled stockings then..?

Well, I'm in Boston if you fancy a pint.


(Boston, MA, that is, not Boston, Lincs - you'll have to pay for the flight yourself)

I feel so wooed right now!

And so you should, young lady. I don't put out for just anyone, you know.

Living proof it comes when you're not looking for it.

Nor was she.

Her dog, on the other hand...

What?

'DON'T BE CONSPICUOUS talking to other men. The last straw is to pass out from too much liquor. Chances are your date will never call you again'.

I'd say that's the least of her worries.

Stockings are the work of the devil.
You?

The guy on the right looks like a fat kid in a sweet shop who's been told everything's free!

Why the smiley? That doesn't seem all that amusing.

Prefer them to tights, this on the other hand



I find chafes a little bit.

Ah, there's nothing wrong with enthusiasm (or maybe there is if it involves the restaurant floor).
Her original 'date' (sinisterly reminiscent of Pinkie in Brighton Rock) looks like he's up to no good anyway.

[Famous Graham]

Cathage - everyone needs therapy on coming into contact with CB. I only met him for an hour at BTaP and it scarred me.

Stiglet - the bloke's after an FB, you ask him if "we're ok" and want more from him. Course he's going to retreat. But his dealing with it corroborates MC's diagnosis : gutless wonder.

Kate - dump her. Or turn her into a comfort shag. No point being involved with someone who can't read a clock - frustrating for you, embarrassing for them.

• Ding!* The doctor is out.

He is too - anyone got any of that rash cream left?

If the table cloth is long enough though...

Haha, yeah looks like he's checking his ledger working out how much he can charge for this one tonight.

I don't think you should worry too much.
Firstly, it's an illustration (not real life) from a 1938 sexist publication. I strongly suspect they are actors (or the photographer is a bit of a voyeur).
Secondly, I think they may all be dead by now (RIP all).

Of course I agree entirely that sleeping with drunk women is completely inappropriate; and can assure you I would never do it.

Shhhh, you'll get me into trouble as I've already been told off for inappropriate smiley use.
Again.
(Note lack of smiley here; this is serious).

Missed that comment, made me laugh! Sense of humour / context failure.

I couldn't possibly comment.
Except to assure you I have never slept with a drunk woman, and am not evenly slightly misogynistic.
