Ask Mr. Nibbles.....?

So now we have a hero in our midst, Mr. Nibbles, please give us the benefit of your wisdom......

How does one know when one has become a man?

[Assuming that your question is about male maturity and not transexuality...]

You've become a man when you don't use an Internet forum to have cutesy conversations with your partner.

Just when I thought everyone on here was sooo nice.

Oh, well, life is full of disappointments, isn't it?  

"Ask Mr. Nibbles", Question No. 2. [smiley=thinking.gif]

While it's questionable whether Snupy - not a British spouse - is a legitimate question-asker, Mr. Nibbles (always the gentlemen) willl answer the question anyway:

Oh, well, life is full of disappointments, isn't it?  

God, it really is. I mean, wow, you have no idea.

OOh! That's right, I keep forgetting.


Ok, I will sulk my way out of this thread....sorry!


PS: The one thing you CAN count on is the Brit men always being gentleman.

Ok, I lied...I do wanna say one more thing before I go...(Americans and their big mouths! )


Why is it ok for Brits to post in "Expat Life", which, by definition is..."Expat life in the UK, coping with changes, missing the USA, and general discussion / questions. ", but it's not ok for Americans to post in "Spouse House"??

Just curious...

Shall I answer this one Nibbles baby?  There's no problem with anyone posting anywhere in the forum; originally the spouse house was a haven for the UK spouses to come and talk, but there's always been our US partners who post here too.  Similarly with expat life.  There's only one place that the men (male spouses anyhow) can't set foot and that's "the ladies room"  but you'll find out about that the longer you're on the forum.

There are no strick guidelines to say who can post where, as long as what is said is in the realms of decency, non-flamable and of course not infringing any of the guidelines of the forum - I bet I took the words right out of Mr. Nibbles mouth.

Hehe-Mr Snupy had found another US Expats forum , and they had posted all this stuff about the moderators issuing  color-coded "warnings" for misbehavior, etc. The moderators there seemed really anal-It was amusing! Besides, we like it here, anyway!

Thanks to the Moderator for taking such good care of Question No. 3 (Snupy's follow-up question). I wholeheartedly agree with his comments.

Wow! Good attitude reversal Mr.Nibbles ~ You could have missed a calling as a Labour Minister!  

There's been no attitude reversal, Mr. Snupy. You appear wrong-footed by an italicised joke I made earlier.

But as you haven't asked Mr. Nibbles a question, I guess my work here is done.

Mr. Nibbles, when I go to London why is my snot black?

What's with other people answering my questions? You need to find another party to crash  

Well, I'm eagerly awaiting Mr Nibbles' explanation!  

Bless you, Peedal. Mr. Nibbles is a fragile flower, and without attention he is likely to shrivel and die.  

But I don't want to get into sooty particulates and mucous membranes. Not every question has an answer, and perhaps that's the greatest lesson of all.  For this thread, at least.
