Women

Burnt is correct - it's not legal in Vegas itself. The county just north of
it, towards Beatty is, however.

 

The first time I went to New York I was very worried about the risk of
being a crime victim. After half a day I realised that if you were
reasonably careful and street wise - as you have to be in London -
nothing was going to happen. I then relaxed. It's too easy to fall back
on the image of NY that comes from endless films and television series
that usually involve murders or crime.

I've had no issue at all with crime anywhere in Manhatten - including
using the subway at 2am to get back to my hotel.

I've also trotted about in Brooklyn and Queens with no problems
whatsoever - including the murder capital area of Bedford Styvesant in
Brooklyn. I've not done the Bronx although I would like to at some
point.

I think it is too easy to get worried out of your skin when the
application of some common sense will keep any risk to the absolute
minimum.

 

Yes providing you know and respect each other's personal space.

I once did a trip where the person I was travelling with was always
around. I'm afraid I need some space and time to myself and after about
2 weeks the atmosphere was just a little tense!

Of course, I'm just a lonely dysfunctional nutcase (tm darsy and champ)
so it's all my fault.

 

<VBG> I can almost imagine the tone of voice you said it in.

 

You think you're any different from the majority here then?

 

What county is Vegas in, then?

 

Better late than never:

"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber
automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency
rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills,
pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination
Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one
hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of
prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a
fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

Love the Bomb [1964]

 

Being 6 foot whatever you are and being built like a brick shit house
probably helps too.

 

If you're referring to me then I'm only 5' 10" which is average. I may
be broad shouldered but the equivalent of 15 dustbins worth of flab
round my waist probably isn't very scary to a doped out mugger with a
gun or a knife. I can do a reasonable "don't tangle with me" type look
but I'm as much a coward as the next man - I have no fighting skills at
all.

 

Probably not but I have been officially identified as a nutter now by
chief clique members so I feel duty bound to keep the concept alive.

 

They might just need a hug, Paul.

 

Saw them in March - all three doing really well and enjoying it.

Vegas is in Clark County (since obviously google doesn't work where you
are).

Nye County is where it's legal - used to pass the local whorehouse on the
way to the ranges each day.

 

ta to you and Ben for the updates.

 

No, I have lovely adorable green eyes that women find wonderfully
attractive. Get it right dear chap.

 

Paul Corfield emerged from their own little world to say

That must be annoying.

 

I have to admit that I've always had a penchant for green eyes. They're not
that common though.

 

IIRC, not having gazed into either set, both of you fall into the
'hazel' category - muddy brown is not green. Mr Corfield does have
very striking eyes, I'd have put them as grey blue rather than green
though so wibble flip do.

My eyes change shade.

I think keeping her eyes is a bit extreme, as ways to remember the
moment go.
