“What? Do you mean wait until they are elected and then resign?”

“I really don`t believe either of these men have resigned through shame. They are in a position of being open to blackmail with possible disasterous results.
Are you assuming that the incoming commisioner, who ever it is, is automatically going to have an extra marital affair?”

“I think the real problem here is not the fact that they had an affair, it's the fact they got found out.
Hogamus, higamus
Men are polygamous,
Higamus, hogamus,
Women, monogamous”

“Steveodore:

I agree. I don't care who or what you bonk in your spare time as long as you can do your job. In Petraeus's case, the director of the CIA can't cover up a simple bit on the side? And he's a four star general, so he has plenty of intelligence and counterintel background. No excuse for mucking this up. Not qualified for the job!

Women are, well, maybe more faithful than men on average, but by no means paragons. I think most men who are cheating are bonking women who know they're married. And plenty of women cheat too. These two high profile numptys, whose life stats, including marital status, anyone can Google in a minute, had no problem finding women willing to bonk them. Hard to believe such women could be counted on to be faithful in a marriage of their own, isn't it?

Flossy:

Right, highly doubtful that shame plays a part, and it's unlikely that their colleagues give a monkey's either. They just compromised their leadership images and became liabilities. You can shame seven-year-olds by pointing out the error of their ways, but people in their fifties and sixties, especially such obviously bright ones? If they don't know right from wrong by now...”

“Mr Septic

Although I don't disagree with the majority of your post, I don't think that a single woman having an affair with a married man will necessarily mean that she will be unfaithful to her future husband,

Some single women genuinely fall in love with married men and hope that they will leave their wives for them. If they do then there is far more chance that the man will later be unfaithful to them (after being unfaithful to his fist wife) than they will be to him because, the single woman wasn't being unfaithful to anyone during the affair.

I know that single women get a bad press when they have an affair with a married men, but why? It is the man who is being unfaithful to his wife and if his marriage vows mean nothing to him, why should the single woman care about his wife?”

“I think the ordinary woman in the street, married or single, having an affair with a married man is completely different to the woman having an affair with a high flier.
It`s not the person they fall for but the power that he has. Can any of us believe that if David Petraeus had worked on a production line at the local biscuit factory, this woman would have looked twice at him?”

“Or Ronnie Wood? Or Paul Macartnety? Or Peter Stringfellow? Or Hugh Hefner? Or Donald Trump?”

“If my husband cheated with someone who wasn't known to me as friend / relative / neighbour then I think my Husband would be the sole cheat. But if it was someone who I thought of as a 'friend' then they would both be cheats.

I think women are more forgiving then men, usually because they are on a lower income and may loose the practical benefits a cheating partner may bring.

If I was single and a 92 year millionaire asked me to marry him, I may consider it as an investment for what very little duties I would have to do, but I would demand a pre-nup saying I get the lot ;)”

“jz,

Don`t kid yourself. 92 year olds are just as testosterone led as many a younger man. Yuk!”

“Flossy

have you heard the term 'ghost rider' ... just close your eyes and imagine its antonio banderas :)

There is an alternative strategy try your best and kill them with 'kindness'

*please not ghost rider not to be confused with ghost writer* ;)”

Anna Nicole Smith didn't do herself much good with her marriage to billionaire J Howard Marshall.”

I think I saw your relative dog walking in the park this morning at around 9am.”

“There may have been upto 4 borders, they are dog sitting at the moment.

Anna Nicoles smiths net worth / estate is reported to be 450millin and she was only married for 13 months

whats to stop you going out for a takeaway whilst your 92 year old husband naps and picking up a docker :)

Maybe the drugs helped with the imagination”

“Wow!, an interesting response which clearly shows that the subject of infidelity arouses, (if that's the right word!), a wide range of views from both sexes. Women's comments are far more expansive than those of the men and show a lot of interest in age of partners, money and muscles, not necessarily in that order! But the point I was making was if an act of infidelity made a person unacceptable for an important job, especially one with public responsibilities, whether applying for one or already in it. In the case of married couples an extra-marital affair is a breach of ethics/contract and may be an indication of moral weakness which could lead to other wrongdoings.”

“Yes but Anna Nicole Smith is dead - and so is her son. Probably from the high life she led with her dead husband's money.

Maybe not then. Only 3 - a bit shaggy looking. Two on a single lead that splits at the end. Good job I didn't ask about you then.

Are there such things as dockers these days? Probably not as strong as they used to be with everything in those containers.”

“mutton8

"But the point I was making was if an act of infidelity made a person unacceptable for an important job, especially one with public responsibilities, whether applying for one or already in it."

I don't believe that for a moment. The point you were making was aimed straight at John Prescott.

And I don't think that anyone agrees with you anyway. All human beings have weaknesses and there can't be many powerful men who haven't had affairs (John Major anyone?). Including all these self-appointed TV evangelists in the USA. Even William Gladstone had a dodgy relationships with prostitutes.”

“Flossy,
Some of the women I have seen about town would probably prefer someone who works in a biscuit factory as opposed to a high flyer, especially if they got to bring freebie's home.
Also Floss, how come you know about nonogenarian testosterone levels? Have you had a dabble ;)
bt,
The docker comment didn't go unnoticed :)”

“g69,
Have you joined the anti-bailiff crusade with that nut from over the water, just noticed a page on the news threads with your name but cannot open it.”

“steveodore

And when have I ever gone on a thread to agree with someone? I am going to look for myself. Wait here.”

“steveodore

You're right! How very dare they? I didn't post that - I am going to complain. Again.”

“well I would if I could open it of course.”

“I didn't imagine you as some kind of council tax rebel like that gimp from yellowbelly land.
I wonder what strange forces are at work here?”

“Steveodore,

That`s for me to know ;-)”

“Well I did put a comment on his first attempt along the lines of, if you pay your council tax you won't get baliff letters and did you refuse to have your bins emptied etc. when you owed the money and now he has put another one on which appears to be the one on the news threads now.

The one I commented on had his extra rant, an insult from someone and mine so there were 3 comments. Only 1 on that thread.”

“So then ladies, is it a power thing or does it just boil down to money (as most things do) in the end?
Would any of the posters be tempted, like in the film "Indecent Proposal", to maybe sort themselves financially for life but at the same time putting themselves at risk of moral turpitude.
What would be your price?”

“What to spend an evening with Robert Redford?

As he was in 1993?

I'd pay him.”

“g69,
Get in line girl ;-)”

“Anyone would be better than the ugly woody harleson. I would have jumped ship for free :)

I suppose Redford is better than Douglas, he makes me vom. Catherine Zeta Jones, give your head a bang.

G69 - was one black and two ginger - george may have gone back to his owner. relation has short dark hair, pleasant nature and would be polite.”

“No don't remember black and I never spoke to relation. Described relation better in an email.

And it's Redford 20 years ago remember.”

“g69, flossy,
Calm down you pair of hussies :)
I was thinking more in the way of, say, Donald Trump.
What price waking up next to that genetically modified Shredded Wheat of a hair do, £100,000 or £500,000 a million or ten million?
Don't say there isn't one because I believe that everybody has a price.

I personally would stoop so low for as little as a tenner if it involved Susanna Reid or Victoria Coren . But then again, I am a man, so would probably forget the tenner if they played their cards right ;)”

“What's this anti-bailiff crusade? And who's the nut/gimp? Where's yellowbelly land? I'm just bursting with questions today, aren't I?

C. Zeta-Jones could make me forget what a tenner even is...”

“Of course there is a price. And plenty of women have one. I used to work as a barmaid and one of the other barmaids who I became friends with would go out with anyone for the price of half a lager. She once snogged the most ugly taxi driver (who now works from outside Empress and I cringe every time I see him) to save a taxi fare. Once on Feb 14th she got quite a few bunches of flowers from admirers and we visited a couple to say "thanks" and wow, were they 'orrible.

I'm not really bothered about myself, but if I could get a tidy donation for one of my animal rescue causes I'm sure I could come to an agreement.”

“MrSeptic

Yellowbelly land is Grimsby - I think. You need to be quick to see the anti-baliff posts as someone who lives there posts continually about bali*** and how horrible and corrupt they are because he hasn't (I believe) paid his council tax.

You will be asking what council tax is next ;-))”

“"Yellow bellies" are people from Lincolnshire. The name came about because some nobleman from there had soldiers who wore yellow sashes across their midriff.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it was something to do with the Civil War, but Google's your friend on this one.

It is a term of derision so I'm thinking they were royalists as Hull was on Cromwell's side.”

“bt,
" was one black and two ginger ", are these flossy's ninety years olds that you are reffering to here?

g69,

I'm not really bothered about myself, but if I could get a tidy donation for one of my animal rescue causes I'm sure I could come to an agreement."

So can I assume if the person who you don't like to mention (but who we know works in the ice arena) offered two pallet loads of dog food and a ton of cat litter that you'd "put out" as our colonial cousins call it. I'm sure he'll be in touch :)

MrSeptic,
Yellowbelly land is across the river from our fair city. Although only a few miles away as the crow flies, it may well be in a different country. Driving across the Humber Bridge is like going back in time as far as the clod kickers over there are concerned. They're just weird, a bit like your Louisiana swamp people but without the charm and the good looks.”

“I caught that post a day or two ago, stating that you did not, by law, have to answer the door if a bailiff came calling. Now I'm wondering if that's true.

No, I get (roughly) what council tax is. The details are a muddle, but I suspect that's just my poor addled Yank brain at work. Surely you lot have that whole band system down pat... ;-)

Hull--the city that told a king to naff off at the gate. Not terribly royalist, as you indicate.”

“steveodore

Well you can forget the cat litter and I'd want a lot more than two pallets of dog food. My chosen good cause would be Soi Dog Foundation in Puchket, and he'd have to personally deliver the food so it would hardly be worth his while going all the way to Thailand just with two pallets.

MrSeptic

I was born in Hull and lived here most of my life but have never heard the term yellowbelly before now. I just guessed what it meant because of where the poster comes from.
It's a wonder that we were allowed to keep the name "Kingston" after refusing entry to King Charles I but In suppose he was in no position to do anything about it and his son was too busy partying to worry about it after he got the throne back.”

“gw69 -no, I wasn't aiming directly at John Prescott...but if the cap fits.....
You say..of a single woman embarking on an affair......"why should a single woman care about his wife"...do you really mean that?”

“Yes mutton8, I do mean that.

It is the married man having the affair being unfaithful to his wife, not the single woman (unless she is a friend/relative)

But many women can't cope with the idea that their husbands have strayed and blame the other woman because it's easier than blaming the other half.

And if you weren't aiming your post about the Police Commisioner's job, who were you aiming it at and why pick that out rather than Prime Minister, London Mayor or any other elected post?”

“Just because a chap can't keep his diddle in his trousers doesn't mean he can't be good at his job surely?”

“DJ,

So you think it`s perfectly ok for the head if the CIA to indulge in pillow talk with his bit on the side do you?”

“Careful mutton8. Michael Grove might be sueing you for libel, insinuating that he has had an affair.”

“I said his loose diddle flathat. Not his loose mouth. You can have sex without talking you know.”

“by GCtheDJSaturday, November 17 2012, 9:47PM
"I said his loose diddle flathat. Not his loose mouth. You can have sex without talking you know."

Are we back to the gimp masks again?”

“DJ,
Are you for real?

What sort of affair would it be if neither party spoke to each other. No wonder you`re a divorcee.”

“Flathat, I'm happily twice divorced (and not due to affairs either). If a person has extra marital affairs I can't imagine them talking much about their careers during the act can you? Instant turn off springs to mind.”

“stevie mate, enlighten me pray tell on what gimp masks? I think you've maybe mistaken me for someone else chap. I don't think me and you have ever had even a snog, much less that you were my mask wearing associate, mind you, it was some party, I'll agree.”

“Think the issue with these two was not so much the affair as the emails which disclosed more than they should have done about the American obsession, National Security.”

“flossy

When people have affairs there might be the odd few (odd being the operative word) where the man does the deed, jumps out of bed (or rolls over and starts snoring) and doesn't contact the woman again until he feels the urge.

However the vast majority include quality time together and obviously that time will involve chatting about various things and I'm sure that the more important the man, the more he will brag about his high-flying job to someone he is in an intimate relationship with.”

“g69,

I know that and obviously you know that but the DJ must be the `odd` one that does turn over and go to sleep.
Makes you wonder...


On the other hand...”

“flossy

Yes I knew that you knew that I knew that you knew.

BUT

I have been told not to coment on his comments so I will have to comment on your comments that are commenting on his comments.

However, if you were unfortunate enough to be the one that he was turning his back on (notice I am still commenting on your comment) wouldn't that be preferable to listening to his pillow talk about me, me, me?”

“g69,

Ha, since when have you ever taken orders from him? ;-)

IF I was ever to have an affair, it wouldn`t be with someone who only wanted nookie and it certainly wouldn`t be with anyone who talked about himself all the time.
AND the first time he turned over and went to sleep would be the last time with me.”

“flossy

LOL”

“I'd be snoring alright. Judging by the last few posts on here I'd be bored... er... perhaps rigid isn't the word I'd use here. I reckon if people were embarking on an affair it would be just for the recreational aspect first and foremost. Let's open this one to the rest of the Forum then.

The question is, What do you reckon people mainly look for in an affair. is it;
a) recreational fun (ie sex)
b) pillow talk or
c) new email possibilities

and I'd like to add the flathat to people I'd rather not comment on my comments. You're becoming a tad impertinent of late.

Simples?”

“Ha ha. Carry on and there`ll be no one left allowed to comment on his lordships threads.

Why would any sane person post on an open forum and then ban people for replying to his posts? Beats me.”

“flossy

Remember what I said earlier about an 'operative' word?

You have just used another one. ;-O”

“what are you doing looking at your dogs tail?”

“It had got a bit fluffy so I was trimming it, and found one caught near the top. You don't want to know any more.

I used to send him to the poodle parlour but now I just hack away with scissors. He hates it. How do the poodle parlour technicians get the dogs to sit/stand so nicely when they do it?”

“They put a picture of zeddy on the wall and the frippin' dogs just make a little pool on the floor, ah reminiscent of my days sending seven dogs up in the lift in Ashthorpe flats. Muhahahahahahah!”

“And yes, I'm fond of cara_ but in love with her? Is anyone truly in love with anyone? Na!”

“In reply to my favourite (the one and only) ghostwriter69's poser about how do they get the doggies to sit still, they put a piccy of you there and and the doggies sit still, perhaps weeing a bit in fear. Ah that reminds me of my dogs in lifts routines back in 1971. Muhahahahahaha.”

“Where did you get the photo from? Been stalking her again? And when your dog makes a pool on the floor do you wipe it up or just step over it?

Oh, and I thought you had been keeping up the denial that you were cheekibugga? Forgot who you posted that story as did you? Is it the Fosters?”

“GCtheDJ

""In reply to my favourite (the one and only) ghostwriter69's poser about how do they get the doggies to sit still"

“I can find out all the names you've used. I know most of em!”

“In that case DJ, why are you referring to the story of dogs in lifts which was 'his'?

You're not over bright are you?”

“Nope the dogs in lifts was me. I think the cheekibugga posted a story about milkmen and bottles if you care to check like I did. Ta.”
