Hmmm.....a man of his age wanting to smack a young girl's bottom?

[Mamyalynne]

Cripes, that was my first thought too - he needs to get a grip.

She's a young woman.

[Smowball]

My only thought is that she looks about 12!

[jourdain2]

Well, she's grown-up now, so smacked bottom is a bit iffy! Otherwise, yes! An autistic, obsessed junior was seized upon and set up by others with programmes. Annoyed and sorry for her in equal measures.

[gness]

A bit iffy? Any man who wants a girl/woman to have her bottom smacked for whatever reason is a man to be wary of.

[jno]

and he looks like some dodgy old men I remember from my own youth, one of whom offered to smack my bottom with a £10 note. Some things never change, eh?

[gness]

Sadly they don't, Jno. :-(. And those who agree with him are a danger too. Like you I've met one. Creeps puts it mildly in my experience.

[jno]

of course, in those days my would-be assailant wasn't surrounded by keyboard warriors chanting "Go on, do it, the little brat deserves it!"

[sunny-dave]

Gness once asked me if I thought a smocked bottom was suitable for Mrs X (a rather comely matron of this parish) - I misheard and ventured that (interesting though it might be) I valued my life too much to risk it ....

... smOcked she repeated rather more distinctly - pointing at some needlework that she was doing for said Mrs X.

[gness]

Mine neither, Jno. But then mine became more than a smacked bottom. Still, we know where things lead to with some men, don't we.

[Mamyalynne]

Never rile a woman with a smocking needle in hand Dave - risky.

[Arksided]

Brave fella SD.. I wouldn't have the nads.

[jno]

and you won't have if you go on being cheeky, Arksided

[sunny-dave]

"Wearing them as earrings" was the gist ...

[piper107]

Christ! a smacked bottom was a figure of speech .

[gness]

A smocking needle's bad, Mamya but have you seen those huge upholstery needles? :-0

[jno]

other, less creepy figures of speech are available for those who want them.

[piper107]

Christ! a smacked bottom was a figure of speech .



In times past she might have been burnt as a martyr, like Joan of Arc. Unfortunately all the particulates and carbon emissions from wood burning mean that's no longer acceptable. Does renewable wood count?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes Gness, mine's always to hand.

Piper, intelligent young people (especially females) frighten the wits out of some old folk.

[gness]

Nope, I don't think it was, Piper....it's what men of a type say thinking it's clever.
He can certainly give his opinion on Greta which I may or may not agree with but wanting to smack her bottom just turns him into another creep.
