I'd be even more curious to know how many British women use this forum. I'm convinced i'm the only one

RetrogradeOrbit · 04-08-2013, 11:11 AM

You may be right, which is a shame, as, how am I supposed to find a bride otherwise...?

That's a good point Miss Hopeful. Maybe you are the only woman currently alive in Britain?

For some reason I had an urge to call you 'Hopey D' for a second there.

My lack of sleep has me picturing you as some kind of Superman loving West Country Nicki Minaj

I'm signing out...

If you can't find any cute geeky girls, you'll just have to find a normal one and turn her geeky

Most could probably make an educated guess what "knackered" means. "Fagged" would probably raise a few eyebrows, though.

WoodyROM · 04-08-2013, 12:54 PM

Sooo, explain knackered for a Texan

Is it possible to show gay abandon whilst feeling fagged out and knackered?

From Wiki

A knacker is a person in the trade of rendering animals that have died on farms or are unfit for human consumption, such as horses that can no longer work.[1] This leads to the slang expression "knackered" meaning very tired, or "ready for the knacker's yard", where old horses are slaughtered and the by-products are sent for rendering. A knacker's yard or knackery is different from a slaughterhouse, where animals are slaughtered for human consumption. In most countries Knackery premises are regulated by law.

Also in Britain we say knackers as slang for testicles. "I've worked my knackers off today"

Where has this thread gone haha

G.Godfrey · 04-08-2013, 01:14 PM

Hmm...how come Hopeful isn't all huffy and puffy because the countdown topic is way off topic?? Ooooh because she's involved in the off topic discussion. Ts, ts, ts, double standards ey Missy??

hopefuldreamer · 04-08-2013, 01:22 PM

When did I get huffy about off topic discussion in this thread?

I found it weird random pictures/completely unrelated covers were being posted... other than that I don't see anything wrong with people chatting away.

G.Godfrey · 04-08-2013, 01:25 PM

Relax, twas a joke

hopefuldreamer · 04-08-2013, 01:29 PM

Yeah, I could tell that by the smileys. Just didn't find it funny... *shrugs*

A queer question. But let me smoke a *** while I think about it.

hopefuldreamer · 04-08-2013, 01:30 PM

Did that automatically star out?

I'm almost sure my persuasive skills are not up to the task...

I don't believe it is too much to ask for, a hot and geeky girlfriend, that lets me know how much she is attracted to me in a sentence comprising of no more than ten words?

Edit...
Maybe I'll pick one up when I am at the New York comic con in October!!! Hopefully the girls will dig a Brit in a Spider-Man costume...
