      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.
      So you wax his back and he fixes your plumbing? Sounds like he's getting a good deal.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        I think I'm getting the good deal, plumbers are flipping expensive.

              Is this another 'dubious expression' drop?

                No actually no homophobic..... many Homosexual men are very blokish..... and (I guess) many Plumbers are homosexual (that was your stereotype not mine)......

                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

                  Yes, you got me there!

                  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.
