Give him a flash of those merlotits and he'll never notice the difference

^At a Burns Supper once someone advised me that a tot of whisky should be poured on to the haggis on your plate.
Is this true or fake news?^

This has certainly been offered at Burns Suppers I've attended. I prefer my haggis, bashed neeps and champit tatties without whisky poured over them but, as someone else has already said, the 'rules' are flexible ?

Dh proposed to me after a Burns Supper - he'd had a few whiskies by that stage - maybe he didnt mean it!

Or rub the raspberry yogurt and oatmeal on them merlotand give him a Burns night to remember

If anyone orders a glass of Merlot whilst I am out tonight I truly hope I can contain my "titters"

Sounds like a waste of a good facepack!

Titter ye not!

Merlot do you think you'll be changing your name to merlotits now? It would be such a shame not to, especially as sooziewoozie chose it for you especially!

Merlotits - it just has to be your new name

Oh, I do love it when you lot are silly.

sooziewoozie chose it for you especially!

Might there be a good reason for me declining her kind offer?

Now, Let me think.....

I’m impressed ladies, you’ve managed to silence a certain someone with your irreverence!

Wee Willie Winky sausages
That sounds very rude SirChenjin

Baggs thank you for that - the person who advised me to do it swore that she had never said such a thing when we all went to a Burns Supper a few years later.
I'm sure it was her but I wasn't going to argue. She might have poured her whisky over me instead

Is 'paedophilia' a legal definition of a crime? Some individuals would like to have sexual relations with a child but don't. These individuals may be called paedophiles and because they restrain their impulses they are good people.

Reasons for having sex with underage individuals include:
1) They take the risk of going to prison .
2) They don't know the legal age of consent
3)They feel entitled to a) break the law , or b) spoil a girl's life or c) both.
4) They believe the law is wrong and underage people enjoy sex with them and that is all that matters.

Gossip serves a practical purpose only when it illustrates general ideas. Tabloid copy sells because it is sensational not because it makes us think.

Good people do not want sexual relationships with children in the first place Alexa - wtaf??

Alexa - what on Earth are you talking about?
Or as they say in the vernacular - WTF?

@Alexa What on earth are you on about? Are you posting on the wrong thread??

That's not necessarily true SirChenjin. There are people as Alexa says who keep their urges under control because they know they're wrong and illegal and hurtful. They are not bad people, but they cannot help their feelings. It's the ones who act on these feelings (the majority I imagine) who are bad people if they don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want. The way you're wired is not something you can control. I believe the 'good' paedophiles lead a very anguished life (I saw a TV programme about them) as they don't want to be like that and are often desperate for treatment. Obviously they don't get a lot of sympathy. This is something that needs a lot more medical resources.

I wondered about the choice of subject, but it is an interesting topic. You never know where these threads will go.....

The beginning of the thread covered the subject of calling "someone" a paedophile when there has been no arrest, no conviction and so on..

Actually, I would say being a paedophile isn't a crime. Acting on it, is.
