To like or not to like: That is the question

I like this blog.
I like the people I blog with.
I like the people I chat to.
To be liked you must be likeable

That however can only be decided by the people we interact with. Just be honest to yourself and others and be likeable for who you are!

Time to butst into " Like " songs.
I like to boogie on a Saturday night.( T Rex)
I like life. ( Scrooge )
I like to laugh ( Mary Poppins |)
I like it, how about you ? ( I like to read good books, can't get my fill.And Luv2,Curvy and Wingit's looks give me a thrill.Holding hands in a movie show when all the lights are low, may not be new but,I like it, how about you ? )
I like to ride my bicycle ( Queen )
Hope you like my modest attempts at muscic !img src="imagesadultemoticons013.gif"

I break into a sweat like a paratrooper in a spelling contest when I am chatting away to someone on line and they say "what do you like?". I mean there is a very very very long list of things I like. I mean I like my plasma cutter but it's not everyone's cup of Bovril and even though I like it I don't see myself booking a room in a hotel for it and me anytime soon....

Are they asking for my sexual preferences (summed up as "not in Aldi") or are they really asking "what are you like?"

Now the latter is a complex beastie and spotting similar wavelengths in others is definitely hard wired into my DNA. So I err on the side of thousands of years worth of human development rather than some recently learned skill and trust my instincts. One of the joys of age and experience is that my instincts are rarely wrong.

Based on this evolutionary hypothesis I have, however, concluded that folks who ask me "ASL" (Age Sex Location - a sort of early swingercode) in a private chat and who do not think my reply RMP (Read My Profile - sometimes expanded to RMFP) are therefore a few thousand years behind in evolutionary terms and we are unlikely to get on.

Most of all I think I like people generally, but I particularly like those who know what they like.

I Like to believe that Like are drawn to Like.

I Like to think that people whose interests, attitudes, values and beliefs that are Like one's own will Like each other.

I Like that they then may understand me as Like me they tend to feel, react and think Like me.

I like to think that they Like me and accept me warts and all as Like me they share some of the same complex flaws and Like me that is one of the things that draws me to Like them.

So somewhat, "Imperfectly Perfect" i Like to think anyway.

birds of a feather flock together simples

Ronald, I reeeeeelllllly like you! Is that even better? ;)



Wilf, indeed I am ;-)

Ronald: what can i say, whats not to like your so likeable so i obviously like you ;-)

Ian, 'So why would I spend time with folk I don't like? Don't know,like. Is that it?'


I work. I spend all day with shits, and arseholes ... I don't like them.

I didn't know you worked at the same place as me Luv2????

It must be that mask!

This is a first. As a result of a recent conversation I find myself motivated to add clarification to the "what do you like" thingy. There is not a problem with the question per se, its just my reaction to it which in some respects is one of slight panic (paraspelling remember?).

It is the opening gambit in the stately dance that might result in further social cyberintercourse and maybe even more (coffee or similar). So there is quite a lot hanging on the answer. If, for instance, I say Kim Bassinger, welding gloves and swarfega that may excite the inquisitor beyond my wildest dreams. Or it may cause a strange loss of connectivity from the other end.

Yet at the same time I am of the firm belief that just as hopes can be dashed in a heartbeat, so impressions can be made in a similar time, so a bland response may, like magnolia paint, be safe and neutral but may simply shift me from the "too weird" to the "too dull" category.

Clarification over....back to the swarfega....

Brace yourselves ...
;-)

Woo, Famine and Pepe are we all witnessing a blossoming bromance? A tub of swarfega on the dance floor when you waltz could be interesting.




Someone give Wilf a lollipop :-)

Ooo blimey...

Prismatic compass? Pwoarrrrrr ...
Does that help you navigate in a southern direction?

Perhaps it's a typo or an auto correct.
Cake cock ... just a thought ;-)



Even more bemused by the absence of jelly babies and midget gems.

'I like it
I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair'
name that tune?
Its an old one lol

Dangerous cheese must be something to do with the laughing cow, she always looked dodgy to me!
Gotta admit that's not a bad list Riggs...
I think the midget gems are still all over the floor in sainsburys.....
Have we gone off the genius of Nutella?
And I know its Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Personally I'd include Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Butterscotch Angel Delight, Aston Martin's, Guinness, Holkham beach, the sigh of contentment and Screamadelica.....

For the record, foodstuffs will always be welcome in my blogs. The same goes for naughty steps, big willies, supermarkets and group hugs.

I'm nice like that.
I like it when I'm nice; it makes me feel good.

NEWS FLASH:
Naked man found running along the hard shoulder on the approach to the Severn Bridge. The arresting officer said, "he was clearly delusional. He was carrying an empty Pyrex bowl and kept muttering something about angels."

Cake in a bag...

Once upon a time and after an exceptionaly rewarding night of consensual depravity we ventured forth into a shopping precinct just off Argyll St ending up (where else?) in Costa Coffee. Two coffees and carrot cake for the lady to go....

Coffees were made, carrot cake selected then, to our surprise it was dropped into a paper bag and handed over...

It was an exceptional time with the loveliest of temporary companions and cake in a bag will remain with me as an icon of Scotlands second city..

Dangerous Cheese

Cheese unmolested by eurocratic nonsense. Cheese that does not come wrapped in plasticwax or any other packaging. Cheese that is just this side of a government health warning. the one exception to this is Cheese Posessed which used to come in ration packs and was more properly called Cheese Processed (in that curious way the military have of swapping words and phrases around to make them sound more official - as if in this case there were other cheeses such as cheese unprocessed, cheese throwing, cheese fighting that sort of thing). It came in a tin which had to be opened at both ends in order to extract it as a cylindrical pale yellow lump. This extraction caused many an injury and the resulting foodstuff was often streaked with blood just to add to the ambience.

But I digress

Anything else I can help with?

Snorkers by the way is Royal Navy slang for sausages

Steak pie and cream??
Not sure about that Shyboy.


DrP, I'm guessing 'cake in a bag' could be a euphemism for a number of things.

Real Action, where did you go?

Don't be shy; come back. Gilli and I promise not to remind you about 'the photo'. Still waiting by the way ;-)

Squirty canned cream? Shhhh, Joe could be listening.

May still be in police custody.
Or perhaps Joe would prefer 'custardy'.

My ears are burning was someone talking about me?......
Can no one eat a barrel of Butterscotch Angel Delight in peace?.....

Wingit and squirty cream or Luv2 and custard oh decisions decisions.....

Sitting here quietly with my morning cuppa and reading my emails before I leave for work. Bad idea ...

There's a good chance people I work with don't like me, but an even better chance that I don't give a feck.

Today I don't like mornings. Actually, I think it's going to be one of those days where I don't like people too much either.

Like!!!

I would be devastated to think that you didn't like me.
Feed me cake and you can have your way with me.On second thoughts,hold the cake, you can still have me ! xx

I should have said "with the exception of all those on this 'ere blog".

I like you all. I like you all a lottle (that's like a little, but a lot).

Just remember Luv2 "A pessimist is never disappointed!"....

Expect the worse about hating everyone and those you end up liking appear even nicer.... Like us!!! :D

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.".....

OK Curvy I'm sorry I pulled out on you ..... That Welsh accent will stay with me for a very long time!!! img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif"

Oo Wings I just remembered something relating to that squirty cream comment above...

gawd this likes thing gets bigger and bigger. Heaven help anyone who in the future pms me and asks what I like...

I hope they are patient.

Oh and Gilli all that lot just tripped off the keyboard and didn't require much thinking. That said for someone who likes a lot, I am exceptionally discerning...

Joe, "Expect the worse about hating everyone and those you end up liking appear even nicer."

I have a rule NEVER to use the word 'hate'. I dislike people, or dislike how they make me feel, but rarely more than that. The term 'hate' I reserve for the most heinous ...

So as a quick update, I got home from work last night at ten pm after what was predictably a challenging day of meeting after meeting. On the positive side (there's always a positive), those staff who disliked me yesterday are going to hate me today. Woo life is good ...


It gets even better when you read "gawd this thing gets bigger and bigger." on your blog. Thanks Rigger x
I'm now off to pm you for that comprehensive list of 'likes'.

Curvybird. I would never pull out on you but you can still talk dirty to me if you like !img src="imagesadultemoticons014.gif"

If there's one thing I don't like, it's someone who drops the word "Like" into each sentence they utter several times!

Like is like and hate is hate, but some peoplE like hating other people.img src="imagesadultemoticons012.gif"

CurvyB and myself won't be happy if you forget the butterscotch angel delight Gilli....

Mwahahaha .... ;-)

Mwahahaha .... ;-)

Mwahahaha .... ;-)

Yep ... I'm laughing (I think) so much that I said it twice.
:-)

Oo heck. More clarification required. Good job Wings is such a hottie.

Aldi.

I think this was in relation to what I laughingly call my sexual preferences, and to be honest, whilst I am exceptionally discerning about my partners I am less fussy about the when and where. Sure a nice room with a 4 poster is great but if the mood takes one then all sorts of things are possible if not highly enjoyable.

Try as I might though, and whilst they have many many things to commend them, I cannot ever see me having a preference for sex inonaround or as a result of Aldi. I would not even attempt Plan B in there. I think there may be other shops too, such as Maplins (always whiffs a bit of man made fibre and chaps who perspire a bit too freely) but its my local Aldi that I had in mind when I wrote that.

Now coffee in Booths followed by a little afters in a quiet corner of the carpark I can manage. A little arousal in the fruit and veg of a decent morrisons sounds dandy. Midget gems in sainsbugs could be the next big thing.

But not Aldi. That's for shopping.

Bratwurst anyone?

* Please Note: other continental budget supermarkets are available...

And the Chinook is where??

Clattering NOE over the road to Teesedale as it happens with the ramp down and Riggs (as usual) sitting on the edge of the ramp with his legs dangling in the slipstream. In his bergan, alongside the bottles of Daisy are the selection of snorkers he roped down for while the cab held station over the M6 casting a long shadow in the evening sun. Riggs popped another small slice of dangerous cheese into his mouth and was about to bite down hard on the onion before he remembered his destination and instinctively selected both a jelly baby and midget gem instead.


Nice one Wings - it all hangs together rather well.

I am in awe of your sexton...Are you sure you are not the May Queen?

Anyway enough of all this - I have laid my solesoul bare for you so now it's your turn..

Get yr lists out for the boys!!!

is armed with Jelly Babie

Get yr lists out? Tsk ... we 'av standards ya know!!


Tut tut; Morrisons. Waitrose is much better.


Interesting fantasy Riggs has going on over at Gilli's :-)
but Gilli, you really don't want a copy of 'the list'. You will never, ever sleep with the lights off again.

Babies!! Jelly Babies

Shhhhhh don't tell them about Waitrose Luv2...

Whispering: ah ok. I'll not mention what you did with the butternut squash and kumquats either.

If it's Waitrose they'll be handpicked organic English Raspberries. A much better class of nipple rubbing Raspberry!.

Yep saw them as well ..... img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif"

Wings it was a fine list - enigmatic and thoughtful..

Come on the rest of you! List I say - top of the head stuff not something that you have thought about for hours, just pretend someone has asked what do you like and you just fire from the hip...

Don't forget to breathe though.

Oo and dreaming of one day sharing a bacon buttie with Bear Grylls :-)

Latecomer as always.........
I would love to have contributed to this thread, but the fact is if I'd listed my likes, it would have had very little relevance to UK bloggers. I think this is an example of one of those times where I feel it's best to just step back and let you all get on with it: you know.....midget gems, swarfega, nutella etc. :-)

Skebbie, I'm just glad you dropped by ...
I may be from the UK, but I'm still interested in your list; go for it!! With a little bit of thought and a bit of research through past blogs, could probably start it off for you ;-)

Luv2: Maybe some other time, over a G&T or five :-) Honestly, if I listed all my likes, I'd have to supply footnotes, and I'm afraid I don't have that much time to burn..............

Suppose I could list Cumbria likes, but maybe that would be too esoteric :-)

Jeez people its quite worrying but we do seem to have an awful lot in common !

Mmmmm what lovely lists you have!

Come on Skebbie its just the first couple of dozen things that come into your head (right hand side of the brain stuff) when you ask yourself the question what do I like?

I was once going to build replica GT40s but didn't think I could make a living out of it..not one of my better decisions that!

Keep going shipmates with the likes - we will do the dislikes another time so don't get distracted.

I went shopping today by the way after visiting the Wildlfe Photographer of the Year Competition exhibition. I am now the proud custodian of Cranstones finest.

Cumbrian snorkers anyone??

Cumberland snorkers Riggs. Get it right.............

So for the next bloggers AGM all we need is a comfy room with an open fire, lots of booze, various foodstuffs, great views, good music, old films on TV, good company and a little imagination..... Who was the events organiser again?

Wings it was a great list and said loads about you (all very cool!)

Shame about the blogmonster on my last..

Oh dear ... with the exception of my Fender and Valentino Rossi pic, my list was so NOT cool.

Story of my life ;-)

Mac, I'm having fun trying to decode your last comment with all the ***. I am up to version 3 where you are making out like Bruce Willis in Die Hard (blackmail, hijack).

Version 2 was Michael Cain in The Italian Job. Not sure the clock ticked though. "You're only supposed to blow the bladdy doors off."

I have no patience!!!
Ooops, I don't want Luv2again to reappear.

I promise to be patient ... I promise to behave ... I promise to be good (NOT).

Most of the things I like,I don't do now.
Running in a try from 30 metres.
Taunting an Aussie bowler as I smack him to the boundary.
Drinking good brandy.
Flying my Cessna.
Going to a jazz concert where a legend is performing ( all my favorites are dead )
Seeing Tommy Cooper live.
Parachuting.
Buying a new car every year.
Quoting Keats. Only one person who ever listened.
Eating whatever I like.
Getting pissed and playing in a bazooki band in Greece.
In fact, there are so many things that I don't do anymore that I wonder if it's worth carrying on.
Oh! hang on a minute,I've just thought of something I can do given their agreement. Ravishing Luv2suc, Wingit and Curvy bird in turn or all at once ,over the deli counter in Waitrose. img src="imagesadultemoticons030.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons014.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons011.gif"

SAS: My secret lover ... Fender Electro Acoustic.
Sings a fine tune when played ;-)



Famine is delusional!

Oooer Fetch, I think I 'like' you.
Actually, you know I do :-) x

Lov2s list is seriously dandy and Curvys is spiffing. Gilli's is smooth and scrummy. You have great lists girls...

Come on chaps (those who have not dipped a toe thus far) - show us what you have got and wave it around with pride!

Your list that is......

My Fender is so sexy ... black, shiny and feels so good to hold. It's a pity I'm so crap at playing it though. I just like to hug it close and give it the odd strum.


Rigger ... the waving of most things is allowed in this blog. Which reminds me, I've missed one item of my list. I'm trying so hard not to say it, but you know I want to ... img src="imagesadultemoticons008.gif"

Where to start as too many to mention....

Beach walks
Taking in the changing seasons
Sunrise on frosty mornings
Watching kitesurfers as they glidedance across the sea
Watching white horses as the crash onto the shore line
Sunsets on warm summer nights (as i live in a seaside town, it looks as though the sea is extinguishing the suns burning fire as it sinks into it's depths)
Mist covered mountain tops
Seeing the snow topped hills on the Isle of Arran in the winter.
How a blanket of snow makes everything look clean & pure.
Purple & white heather
Men in kilts
Seeing the first snow dropdaffodil of the year.
Cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Autum hues.
Traveling.
Other countries culturetraditions.
Music (too many to mention)
Lascia ch'io pianga (sang it for music exam,still remember every word & note)
Robert Burns songspoems.
Admiring Artphotography (no i dont just peek at pics on here lol)
Good conversation.
Sharing a bottle of wine with good company.
G&T to relax and unwind.
Whisky to warm my heart (and other parts).
Knowing you have that one friend that will stand by you no matter what.
Learning (never too old to learn new things).
Feeling unconditional love forfrom my daughter.
An infectious smilelaugh.
A knowing look.
Feeling cold hands on my warm skin.
Deja vu moments.
finding a kindred spiritsoul

Just some but SOoo many, many more.....;-)

Indeed it is always nice to share Wingit. You play guitar? We could have got together and shared a tune or two.



Graham, chairdancing?

I'll borrow your Whisky please SunShine. A fine single Malt I'm assuming?

Think we all guessed about the KitKats Graham!

I always wanted A Gibson Epiphone Cherry Red Semi Acoustic....If anyone one wants to buy me one I will really REALLY like them ;)xx

I am sitting here with the cyber equivalent of gaffer tape plastered over my typing fingers lest I stray into strumming innuendo..

Good job I didn't

Indeed Wings - Cranstone's finest. And I feel I am a custodian rather than having permanent ownership and so I will be happy to share. After all, from what I could see shop stocks were high! So get the rotors running and sort out yr caribenas and the snorkers could be yours.......

I had an electricacoustic many moons ago as well as the obligatory Bert Weedon Play With Yourself In A Day Book. It became clear quite early on that Mr Hendrix was in no immediate danger.

Bert Wheedon could've rephrased the title of his book slightly better Riggs... or could he? lol

is busy today ...
but never too busy to throw Ronald a hug x

Wingit: Share and share "alike", feel free to add from my list of "likes", i don't just "like", i love to share ;-)

Joe: Jonnie Walker or Swing. The malts i "like" best Cardhu or Bunnahabhain.
But please feel free to acquire Broa 35yr old as a gift for me (i will share ;-)).
If you get the chance try it do so as the taste is SOooo delicious.

Luv2 i managed to add a few more "likes" just for you.x

On a point of order I am not sure what to make of heavily qualified "likes". For instance, if I were to say "a blowjob from an old flame on a rainy afternoon when there's nothing on the telly" then that might be a bit too constrained. Contrived even.

So keep it simple folks. There may be mountain folks reading it

OOoo Rigger i like a masterful man,even when they are taking on a policing role. lol ;-)

"There may be mountain folks reading it"?

Mac, "fairies my arse." There's something quite special about that statement. x



I like that drinking too many cups of coffee late in the afternoon keeps me awake all night. Said nobody, EVER!!!

Groan...........
I can see that I'm duty-bound to post my list or I'll be considered even more of a BOF than ever. Suffice to say I resisted participation thus far because (1) I was (literally) too busy to give serious thought to the matter, (2) I have this congenital aversion to following the crowd, and (3) I always think lists such as this bring out the poseurs in all of us, and that sort of grates, if you know what I mean............

That having said, not necessarily in order of preference:

1.The vernal equinox.
2.A pint of Loweswater Gold at the Kirkstile Inn on a hot day.
3.The Debatable Land.
4.A brace of "negitoro-gunkan" with thinly sliced pickled ginger.
5.A well shaped patch of jet-black pubic hair above smooth female pudenda.
6.The feeling of wandering free, sharing weekend euphoria with millions in Tokyo, without fear of hassle or violence.
7.The Japanese public transport system.
8.Hearing from my kids, and knowing they are out there in the world grasping life with both hands.
9.Being able to tell the time of day, and the time of year, from where the sun is in the sky and where and when it rises and sets.
10.Japanese festivals and the beautiful imagery of shinto.
11.Watching the effortless mastery of a veteran craftsman, musician or martial arts expert.
12.The 10 Mahler symphonies, Das Lied von der Erde, and Das Knaben Wunderhorn.
13.Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen (yaay Canada !!).
14.Mark Knopfler (yeay Scotland and the NE !!).
15.Led Zeppelins I-IV.
16.Stanley Kubrick.
17.Castlerigg Stone Circle.
18.The "fuujin-raijin" screen.
19.My two pads in opposite hemispheres.
20.The luscious curves of a well shaped woman's body illuminated by firecandle light.

Must admit I need to add Yorkshire Gold.......I always return to Nippon with a suitcase full. OK I know it doesn't sound like tea :-)

Hey Skebbie thanks for reminding me about number 2!

Can I also Doc Martens??? You've got to have some comforts in life.

My new T shirt ...........

Oooh and giving serious consideration to any list is NOT firing from the hip! We need to be in first -thing-that-comes-into-your-head territory here.

Cup-a-soup

A well fitting gift ;-)

Does it have a single simple neat bobble (as produced by yr nan using little more than two circles of cornflake packet) or a brace of those new fangled danglydownbobblybollox on string and flappy ear bits so you look like deputy dawg?

That stuff above is technical knitting jargon by the way. Not the bit about deputy dawg who was of course a fictional cartoon character.

oo another like...

Tom and Jerry

Rigger:that gave me a blast from the past moment, the bobble making lol

Spongebob Squarepants

I suppose the things which one likes are the things that make one laugh a lot and feel happy.
Mel Brookes films
Monty Python.
Have I got News For You.
Jackie Mason.
Billy Connolly.
Old Norman Wisdom films.
Spike Milligan.
Peter Sellers.
George Formby songs.
Jake Thackray ( largely forgotten now )
Groucho Marx.
Les Dawson's mother-in-law jokes.
Old Round The Horne, radio recordings
Private Eye.
Chic Murray.
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore ( I also greatly admired Dudley's piano playing )
Hinge and Bracket
It probably says much about me that I have a preference for cutting satire,not to mention those who are " off the wall " or just plain daft.

Pink Panther films..........

So, in no particular order, this week I mostly likes...

Welding
Bluegrass
Turbochargers
Not wearing a tie
Ratchet spanners
Being in bed
Chocky Philly
Watching sunrise Sunset from an airliner window
The curveyness of women
Radio 4
Walking my hounds
Reeses Cups
Getting paid
Android
TCPIP
Jet engines
Radio 6
Watching sunrise on the motorway
The smell of freshly-ploughed soil
Air conditioning
Reversing a trailer
Lying watching clouds
A woman shorter than me
Fish and chips cooked in lardimg src="imagesadultemoticons004.gif"

And I've no idea where the girl after lard came from!

Mine was an unashamed "desert island discs" approach and I offer no apology. If you want to know the real me, rather than some sort of Rorschach knee-jerk twitch response that is about as useful as which toilet paper colour I prefer, then my list stands :-)

I can't help it!

I tried getting in touch with my feminine side, but I think she's in South America and not left a forwarding address. ..

Doctor, is she in witness protection?


Skebbie, toilet paper? You're sitting on a toilet in your profile. In my best Inspector Clouseau accent, " av yeew got a 'thing' for loos?" ;-)

Luv2, it's a possibility. ..like me she's not old enough to have been one of Hitler's homies, or one of the great train robbers. Maybe there's panpipes involved. ..

Glad we cleared the hat thing up

Never doubted you for a moment there Mac. I just wanted to show off my intimate bobble production knowledge whilst cocking a snook at daft headwear made from alpaca (cross between a poodle and a goat as far as I can see).

Zook take this honorary manwhore tshirt. Fine list. Bar the lard. Dripping yes. Lard no. I salute the simplicity though, the sure sign of a man at ease with himself.

Fair comment Skebbie - everyone to their own. Its interesting though and I refer to my original dilemma, does the question mean "what do you like" or does the question really mean "what are you like?" Observers of the lists can have a go at deciding which of the questions the listers are attempting to answer.

Sometimes I shock even myself.

Thanks Rigger, glad you like!

I see lard and dripping as interchangeable though, especially when used in a fryer. ..as long as it's not palm oil it's good!

Gillibean, thanks for the concern!

Were I to scarf lard-fried scran more often than once a month or so it might do me some harm...but I'm prepared to risk it. Like a lot of things, if it's not good and satisfying I'd sooner not bother doingeating it.

'Chips' in palm oil indeed...mutter mutter. ...

Indeed Zook - especially as huge swathes of rainforest are lost each year in order to make way for - er - palm oil plantations.

So I see your dripping (it has to come off successive sunday roasts and be collected in a porcelain pot)lard related forays as an arterial sacrifice for the good and benefit of mankind.

Wear your manwhore tshirt with pride!

Can't remember the last time I had home-made chips.
