Hello

[JJ2006]

Hello. My name is John and I'm new on this site.

[JJ2006]

Hi Chakka35, thanks.

[China Doll]

Chakka just repeats him/herself alot ;0)

[naomi24]

John, Chakka's right - Mani has quite a history on AB.

Mani, one of your hobbies is studying human sexuality? Since when? Shouldn't you have said your hobby is prying into people's personal lives in order to condemn them?

I don't dislike you Mani - I feel sorry for you because you're certainly pretty screwed up - but I sincerely hope John doesn't join you for a paddle in your imaginary fountain because he'll find himself drowning in superstitious, sanctimonious, self-righteous claptrap.

[naomi24]

China, this bathing together in a fountain thing. Still hoping, eh? Can't say you're not a trier!! :o)

[China Doll]

I'm not bathing in anyones fountain.

I'm not in to water sports.

[naomi24]

Oh, right. I thought since you found that idea romantic, you might be dipping a toe in. :o)

[wizard69]

JJ2006...welcome,
just like to add to chakka's sentiments regarding Mani.
He has some very odd ideas which can seem a bit perverse...like condemming prostitutes because of their lifestyle and yet having no conciense about hiring one for a friend...thus perpetuating the lifestyle that he condems.
In addition dont expect a reply from Mani if you challenge his beliefs.He will usually sulk for a week or two, throw his rattle out of his pram and rant on about how full of love he is and how ungodly we all are. But never mind, you will see how it all works on here for yourself. And when Theland returns, you will be in for a treat.

Hi John, Welcome to ab. Will you be my friend?

. . . well, at least until you get to know me???

[dolly pond]

i`m 37 and from solihull in the midlands too john! but not a social worker, a dreaded but nice estate agent.

Hi
you may live to regret finding AB, its like smoking, the first few goes are quite difficult and when you decide you don't want to visit any more you find you are totally hooked and can not stay away.

I hope you enjoy it and have fun

[naomi24]

Mib, maybe you should tell him he can call you Mibsy. That's sort of friendly. :o)

[JJ2006]

Thanks everyone, this Mani sounds like a real weirdo.

[China Doll]

Mani just has a different take on things.

There's a bit of weirdo in most that use this site.

Now play nicely with the other pixels. (Watch out for Ruby, she's a right trouble maker, she started a gang and everything).

[chakka35]

I resent the suggestion that I am a bit of a weirdo just because I use this site.
I am a highly rational and highly intelligent person, blessed with an endless supply of wisdom, discrimination, discernment and shrewdness which I generously dispense to illuminate the lives and thinking of those who are not so fortunate.

What's weird about that?

[China Doll]

Sorry.

Everybody except chakka.

My mistake.

[mibn2cweus]

Naomi, "Mibsy"? I wouldn't want John to think I might actually be desperate for a friend! That sort of thing tends to scare people off . . . everyone so far at least?

[naomi24]

Well, hard as you may have tried, Mib, you haven't managed to scare us off - yet!

[natalie_1982]

Hi John, I'm Natalie (I bet you didn't guess that), I'm not a social worker or from the MIdlands but my job does involve working with social services and I live just outside Oxford. I'm married and have three naughty cats. One of which keeps leaping on me at the moment so sorry for any typos.

That makes me sounds relaly sad, and I'm not. Honest.

I don't usually ventrue into this section much because the threads are usally about 5 pages long by the time I see them and people have either stopped adding to it or I can't be bothered to read that long. I will make a concerted effort in future though :-)

Oh, and welcome :-)

[lilminxlou]

[naomi24]

Hello, lou - and welcome.
