Petit Prince

I don't think that's necessarily true. I was seeing a guy who was 14 years older than me for a while and it and it definitely wasn't just about sex. We'd sometimes stay up all night talking to each other and he was one of the most interesting people I've ever met. It didn't work out because we were in very different places but it probably would have been the same if I had met him when he was 10 years younger. 27 years really is a lot though. I can't imagine dating someone who is my dad's age.

Well done! I feel good but tired. Notting Hill Carnival was great!

Haha really? He used to post pictures all the time :thinking:

One of them got married earlier this year and the other two are planning to get married in about a year's time. I had a few friends who got engaged when we were younger but they weren't seriously planning their wedding, they just decided to get married at some point.

I think it really depends on the person. Age doesn't really matter to me but I'm not ready to settle down and I don't want to have kids so if they do that would be a big issue. I'm in my mid-twenties and I've got a couple of friends who got engaged to someone they've only been with for a year or so and it's freaking me out. I'm happy for them but I'd never want to do it myself. I was dating a guy who was 14 years older than me once and it was great but I don't think it would have worked out in the long term. We did have a lot to talk about and he was one of the most interesting people I've ever met but we were very different (and this wasn't just about age).

Why would love make a difference? Fair enough! I guess it depends on the person and on what you've done before. I don't want to go into too much details but the first time I had sexual contact with a guy (we didn't go all the way) it was really painful. I actually liked him a lot but there's no way I would describe it as romantic. It wasn't too bad when I actually lost my virginity but it wasn't pleasant either. It's definitely important that you feel ready and I'm not suggesting that you should sleep with a random guy you met at a club or something but I don't think there's much of a point in waiting for the perfect person. It will most likely make the beginning of your relationship more difficult if anything. I wasn't too bothered about losing my virginity either by the way, it just kind of happened.

I used to work with an Italian guy who is ginger.

I was the same an I can't say I regretted it. I really liked the guy at the time but we never actually got together. Losing your virginity is never gonna feel great so I don't think there's a point in waiting for the right person. It helps if it's someone you feel comfortable with though.

This probably isn't very obscure but I like it when a guy has nice hands.

I eat when I'm hungry. I feel dizzy and sick if I don't eat regularly.

8 people. I talked to quite a few people online that I was likely to meet in real life at some point if that makes sense :thinking: I joined a few Facebook groups from my university before I moved to London and I spoke to people from my course. A few of us also met up at one of the freshers events.

I'm the same. I like being around my friends but I'm really shy when I meet new people.

Moths

So do I! I don't like living in London but I can't leave unless I manage to find a job.

I say thanks when I swipe my Oyster card but not when I'm getting off the bus. I used to do it when I first moved to London but people often gave me funny looks. No one does it here. I always say thanks when I'm up North though.

Not necessarily. Two of my friends did business studies at uni and they're doing very well. I think it's a useful degree to have if you're planning to apply for management graduate schemes.

You could still do something else after you graduated. Many graduates get jobs that aren't really related to their degree. Having said that, it might be better to do a more general degree like history if you'e not sure. You could always do a Masters afterwards if you want to specialise in archaeology. I wouldn't worry too much, you've still got plenty of time to decide what you want to do.

I graduated last year and I'm still not sure what I want to do. I was lucky to get a graduate job shortly after I finished uni but I really didn't like it. I studied English so there's a lot of things I could potentially be doing, I'm just not sure what's right for me.

I usually get tap water unless I'm having wine (in which case I'd probably still get some water as well) because fizzy drinks are generally overpriced. I like the idea of having it on the table though as it makes it more convenient for customers. As for pubs, most places in central London are very busy.

Well I'd find it pretty annoying if the pub's busy and you already had wait for ages to get served and then you have to wait for another 5 minutes to get ketchup/ salt or whatever else you want. I'm not sure what's the best way to tackle obesity, all I can say (from my limited experience) is the people aren't afraid to ask if they want something. I think it's important that kids learn about healthy eating at school. You can get reduced gym/ sports club memberships in some countries if you can prove that you regularly go. I think it's a very good idea as it promotes a healthier lifestyle but at the end of the day it's still down to personal choice of course.

I only dance when I'm drunk.

I don't like the idea. It's gonna be a pain for the customers and the staff, especially when the place is busy and I don't think it will help to tackle obesity. I can't talk about Uruguay but I worked in a fast food place for a little while when I was a student and customers always asked for extra ketchup, mayonnaise etc and unfortunately it was often people who were already overweight.

You can order it online, it might take a while for it to arrive though. I wanted to buy one but I couldn't wait at the stadium because I would have missed the last tube so I asked them about it.

Has this been confirmed? All I can find is this: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a498248/robbie-williams-reuniting-with-guy-chambers-for-new-swing-album.html 'According to the Daily Star...' I wouldn't believe it just yet. I really hope the rumours are true though, I loved 'Swing when you're winning'. Anyway I went to see Robbie at Wembley and he was amazing! Thanks for sharing the pictures everyone! Unfortunately I wasn't close enough to the stage to take good photos. I might upload a video later if I can figure out how to do it.

I've seen/ heard lots of police helicopters when I lived in a rough area in Liverpool. Sometimes you'd see 10 police cars in a row. There have been murders but I don't think you'd be likely to get attacked if you aren't involved in any kind of crime. The riots were pretty scary though. There were burning cars in our street and several shops got looted. No one got hurt though and this was the only time I felt scared living in this area.
