I think Merlin's implying he has no problem getting WOMEN, rather than people in general, to go to bed with, Bar. Just to dash the hopes of any gay forumite who might take a fancy to a YMCA lookalike... moustache, leather jacket, etc.
 
BAR no definitely heterosexual mate.. A lady lover.... I am far from a gay boy I can assure you......... but I do sport a moustache and have done for as long as you have been born possibly............. :rolleyes:

But yes a big lad all around I must confess.............. :P
 
So are we. It's enough having you promote Sainsbury's wines without endless lists of their best cuts of beef, pork ribs, special offers on lamb cutlets, and the new saucissons just in from Dijon...

I assumed Merlin meant women. Not sure why I typed people.

I don't think Merlin's sexuality has ever been in doubt. I find it fascinating that he has a big langer, and that he feels the need to share the information.

Nurse

Get the straitjacket off Brave Inca for Krizon - she has starting confusing Ardross with Jamie Oliver.
 
Australia is also having a baby shortage crisis at the moment, that the only strategic move the government could come up with was a Baby Bonus.

That is every time a woman gives birth, the parents are handed $4000 from the government as a thank you for helping populate the small nation.

I personally don't understand the use and need for a baby bonus. People this modern day just do not have the time and financial backing to own their own house or have a family.
 
My second child was born in Luxembourg.

About a month before the birth the postman rang our doorbell and handed over the equivalent of about £500 in cash, courtesy of the Luxembourg taxpayer. He called twice more, a few months after the birth and again about a year later, handing over similar sums both times.

There aren't many places where you could let the postman, or even Santa Claus, deliver such sums of cash. While it was very nice to get it, I have to say it had no impact on decisions about subsequent children.
