So you wax his back and he fixes your plumbing? Sounds like he's getting a good deal.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostIf by a "nancy" you mean gay, then no. He's a plumber, albeit a vain plumber with an obsession with, well, his looks. Nowt wrong with men taking care of themselves I suppose...
I must admit I do prefer a bloke who uses a bit of soap now and again and is more interested in the pub. Old fashioned like.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

No actually no homophobic..... many Homosexual men are very blokish..... and (I guess) many Plumbers are homosexual (that was your stereotype not mine)......Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostSomething homophobic?

AFAIK David Beckam, Frank Lampard and many other FootyBoys are not Homosexual (possibly homophobic) but they are (do sometimes appear as) somewhat self-obsessed and overly vain and "effeminate"..... its the over indulgence that gets me (not the sexuality).......
although... if your "plumber" regularly comes round for a bit of pampering and he hasn't tried to <insert euphemism of choice> you - I would begin to suspect his sexuality as well as his self obsession and vanity

That level of vanity is somewhat disturbing, I agree.
Thank you for the flattery there (I think) but we've both got the t-shirts on that one and are now just bezzie mates.
My ex (baby's father) was his best friend, which put paid to any repeat performance.
I like to keep things as complicated as possible, keeps me on my toes.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
