I wasn't offended at all, not even fauxly, just thought it an odd word to use and, a bit like buses, having not received it before surprised to get it 4 times in 2 weeks. Where were you boating? Was it perhaps a regional fad where some people are trying to appear a bit intellectual by using a bigger word? Are there any popular TV shows or movies out now where they use colleague instead of friend or mate? Just our usual cruising (stop it!) area down to Stratford, back up to Brum and around the Black Country a bit. Not aware that "colleague" has become an in word.

I could have believed what you now say, but this ("husband" or even "fuck-buddy"), convinced me you are just looking to score points. It was one of those odd things that you don't understand called a joke, or perhaps a bit of light heartedness. Just looking to brighten up the afternoon. Sorry if you were fauxly offended.

Just one of your latte moments. ((shrugs))

I think a "colleague" is somebody who works at ASDA with you, that's the word they always use to describe their staff.
Incidentally, somebody I know who works for ASDA says that ASDA stands for "Another Shit Day Ahead".

It was a strange word to use. Sometimes though people can be caught out. They meet someone and refer to someone with them without having had too much time to work out what the score is. Rather than making an assumption that may cause offence, they instead use another word, the first sensible, often misjudged word that springs to mind.
I've experienced this myself. I remember talking to a German girl in Bali who was with a bloke of a similar age, they were sharing the room next door to me. I referred to the man as "your boyfriend". She was quite annoyed with me for making that assumption, my mistake being confirmed a couple of hours later, when I boned her in my room.

She was quite annoyed with me for making that assumption, my mistake being confirmed a couple of hours later, when I boned her in my room. My god you love to brag... I hope you don't mind if I one-up you. Right now, any woman of amazing beauty and charm could try to seduce me and she would be unsuccessful. Two or three of them together could try, and it wouldn't work. I am totally in love with my wife and I have absolutely no desire for any other woman - and that's coming from a guy who bedded more women by the time I was 25 y.o. than the number you currently brag about. Getting women/girls to go to bed with you is about as easy as falling off a log, it's really no great accomplishment, and certainly nothing worth bragging about. What I personally think is worth bragging about is caring for someone so much that you don't have to work to be faithful to her, for the simple reason that you feel no temptation to be with anyone else. Maybe someday you can be that satisfied - it is my sincere wish that you can. Meanwhile, I will point out that Vera is absolutely babealicious. These photos are five years old, but Slavic girls tend not to age very quickly. BTW - you can right click on the image and then click "search Google with this image" and you'll come up with nothing. These aren't some random pics I pulled off the internet, they really are my honey. Seriously, Ricco, you wouldn't believe how incredibly satisfying it is to not be tempted - to not be able to be tempted.

Wow, respect! It's different for me though. I've been divorced for 14 years, it's 10 years since I've had what might be considered to be a serious relationship. I'm not sure I'm capable of having one actually.
I've a few mates in a similar position. When one or another of us tells of a 'happening' it's usually funny, always interesting. We don't consider it to be bragging, not at all. Perhaps it's not appropriate to reveal such things within a group of people that we don't really know but: there's a whole load of people out there who don't take the issue of relationships seriously. This bunch spend a fair chunk of their lives facing new exciting times or equally at least, disappointments and frustration.
Perhaps life is better if you 'operate' within a mind set where a relationship is fixed and permanent. Many do. After all, governments and religious institutions have been leading us to live this way for centuries.
Some of us struggle with monogamy though. It's arguably unnatural, that could be debated. Instinctively, we know it's unnatural.
By the way your wife/ partner is very attractive. Not that physical appearance is the be all and end all of everything. Personally I find it a little odd to post pictures of your partner in order to reinforce your point, when the point was that you find the posting behaviour of another member a little odd.
No worries though, no offense, it's all cool.

"My god you love to brag..." "She was quite annoyed with me for making that assumption, my mistake being confirmed a couple of hours later, when I boned her in my room." Yeah, I laughed at that too! He's the real reason why single women fly to Bali...

Place your bets, Gentlemen! How many?!!

There's an Emily Maitland/Maitlis thread re-awoken, and Ricco's and Paul's boastings have reminded me I meant to look her up. Here she is. Looks rather ordinary to me:

Maybe ordinary to you Foxy but to me, well... Mind you, perhaps allowances should be made. When Major boned Edwina Curry was I the only one thinking: I wouldn't mind myself? See her the odd time actually, instructing her gang of followers in the fine and noble art of checking if boats are licenced, around Whaley Bridge. Could be a bit of a winter project, hmmmm.

Based on your comments in this post is it safe to assume that your 180 conquests were all fat, ugly, or mingers? Quite possibly all three at once,? Cos after all, they need a bit of loving too.

No, but it's fair to say there's been a reasonable mix. My ex wife was good looking actually, was regularly mistaken for Zoe Ball.
