the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

[opmania]

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

Keep it clean 

And be nice 

See how long that lasts

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

I can recall there was a time when men shook hands, not bumped fists, or chests, or high fived as though they're white Americans pretending to be "Ghetto".

But then I can recall a time when "Halloween" was something that people did in an other Country, a bit like running the bulls - someone else's quaint little custom.

I suppose times change, for better or worse.

I recall a time when a woman didn't shake hands like she was Rambo too.  (Happened to me a couple of weeks ago now.)  

If that is deemed equality in a former Man's Realm, she can keep her "Nice to meet you".   No man ever, ever shook my hand that strongly.

And .........etiquette used to be...... only shake a woman's hand if she proffers it.

We do seem to duplicate Americanisms here

Eventually.hope that is not an indication of our

Economic situation in a few years

And there was a time where a woman who trod the boards, so to speak, or played a role in a movie was called an Actress.

I wonder what happened to them? It seems sexist, in my mind, that they were pushed aside in favour of actors...

What do they call it? Coca-cola-nisation? Or is that "nization"?

I love it when a man a total

Stranger, kisses the back of 

Your hand in greeting,

Like you've just met

Lawrence Olivier lol

And a wink when your

Out and about from a stranger

Is a really nice gesture 

Just as long as its not a sleazy wink

If you know what I mean

Edited:  Had a rethink, and decided not to share those brown eyes, and a grain of sand irritating them.

I think the Dahlings thought that equality "on the boards" would mean equality of pay cheque.
