Are you working in a place that does hen nights or Anne Summers parties or something?
Interesting you say that. Not specifically, but we did have a hen do visit us at the weekend. They brought a giant inflatable phallus in with them. smile

If a woman pinched my arse at work, I'd probably just make some off the cuff cheeky comment and leave it at that, I'd actually be quite flattered if I'm honest. Now my age, with the mass of grey hair and middle age spread I'd be quite pleased. It really isn't something I'd give a st about. If however, it became constant, and I'd previously made clear for whatever reason to not do then I'd probably take it further.

As we're on old anecdotes, I worked in a factory environment years (when I was still young and not bad looking), whenever I walked on to the floor some of the women would yell "diet-coke break", they were all old dears and not a single one of them remotely attractive to me, but again, I actually felt quite flattered and it really didn't bother me.

Apropos of nothing, how is it that certain posters on PH always seem to experience mild levels of drama in their lives?

Maybe the rest of us are just lucky.

Maybe you are desperate and would be glad of any person touching you?

Maybe.

If it happens, I'll be sure to mention it on here. Even if it is just a door mirror.

Bless. Make sure you do.

You'd have to step outside of your house for anyone other than your dad to touch you though.

I must be loved on here. Lots of people show an interest in my posts.

I'd say that's an important issue in the whole conversation - for a person being able to judge if they are in any way intimidating or upsetting the other person. So what's OK between person A and person B might not be OK between B and C. And in some cases, gender might be part of the equation.

Indeed.

Looks like he has a remaining $80m so even with that compensation he will have $30m remaining - he and generations of his family will never ever have to work again unless savagely silly on their rate of spend.

Let’s say he keeps smart and spends only 4% of that pot each year allowing his net fund to grow that’s $1.2m a year to live on.... plenty for anyone

Alleged crimes?
Isnt this a pay off to satisfy those making the allegations
It's a tricky one but he didnt have the money, would it have gone so far ( or further)?

Although without the money and power - would he have got away with it in the first place? Probably have got a few slaps instead!

If it wasn't consensual, he should go to jail.

Money shouldn't come into it.
Agreed. But I’m sure he didn’t do anything wrong....
