    Ever wonder what that Nick 'tuition fee' Clegg did all day these days?

    I would like to apologise unreservedly. Not for any offence caused (that's always intentional), but for voting for Nick fucking Clegg.

    'Nick Clegg the Fucker,' shurely?

    Remembering his famous 'not more than 30' comment.

    "No more than 30 ... it's a lot less than that". Honest but not exceptional surely?

    Currock and Upperby are both old railway sites. The former a wagon repair depot and the latter a traction maintenance depot.

    How have the tech companies become these grotesque fucking gargoyles? Especially Facebook.

    Zuckerberg actually looks like a Bond villain now. This stiff, geeky, aspergery nerd who runs an evil empire that endangers the world. Like a ludicrous caricature, but true

    And then in the middle is Nick bloody Clegg?! How? Why?

    Also check out their PERFECTLY and identically furnished homes. A desert state Santa Fe aesthetic with hints of Nordic woodiness and an English hearth. The blue accents in Clegg’s home are so eerily on-point I wonder if it is all CGI and if they are all just avatars created by GPT3

    Ahem. Hangs head in shame.

    I guess 30 may be exceptional for a dorky politician? Actually - thinking about it - I wonder whether female MPs have on average seen more action than the average male MP?
  • ydoethurydoethur Posts: 71,354

    OGH: The UKIP councillor has since died. My money would be on Labour.

    That sounds a bit accusatory.

    From antipathy to antimony?

    Peter Stringfellow claimed to have slept with over 2,000 women.

    William Hague retorted, 'is that about half a dozen a year?'

    There's some kind of Laffer curve here that can be drawn and I reckon 8 is closer to the ideal than, say, 28.
    I know someone who has easily gone into triple figures and I think at that point it's less achievement and more symptom. He's not happy and never has been.

    I’m well over 280. Is that pathological? I don’t think so. I like sex and I can get it, and when I can’t get, I’m prepared to pay for it

    Am I happy? No, not really. Am I unhappy? No, not that either. I’m alive

    And when it comes to my deathbed I think I shall be glad I’m at the 280 end of the spectrum rather than 8. I’ve lived and loved and laughed and left, as James Joyce rightly said

    I would like to apologise unreservedly. Not for any offence caused (that's always intentional), but for voting for Nick fucking Clegg.

    'Nick Clegg the Fucker,' shurely?

    Remembering his famous 'not more than 30' comment.
    "No more than 30 ... it's a lot less than that". Honest but not exceptional surely?
    Speak for yourself, Stocky!
    Ahem. Hangs head in shame.

    I guess 30 may be exceptional for a dorky politician? Actually - thinking about it - I wonder whether female MPs have on average seen more action than the average male MP?
    An old friend of mine told me, the other day, that he’s slept with 8 women. EIGHT

    SINGLE FIGURES

    He’s 57 so it’s about one a decade. Lol
    There's some kind of Laffer curve here that can be drawn and I reckon 8 is closer to the ideal than, say, 28.
    I know someone who has easily gone into triple figures and I think at that point it's less achievement and more symptom. He's not happy and never has been.

    That's the most ridiculous post I've ever read.
    Wait a bit, I can surely top it if you give me time.
    I doubt it. Claiming there is an ‘ideal number of lifetime sexual partners’ is quite something, even by PB standards of post-lagershed surreality, especially when you added the rider ‘it is close to 8’

    30 is well above average, the average man has had 8 sexual partners and the average woman 7.

    I've slept with three women. Started a long term relationship at university. Started my current relationship about a year after the end of the previous one.

    I suppose that number would be higher if I hadn't had two long-term relationships. I've no wish for my current marriage to come to an end just so I can boost that number.
    That’s fair. I was being provocative in my earlier comment, and I do actually envy my happily married friends with low run rates (there aren’t many of them, but they exist)

    But I wouldn’t be happy - personally - knowing so little about sex and women, and you can only discover this stuff by doing it. With actual women. Or men. Or whoever rocks your coracle

    It’s like travel. You can be perfectly happy living in the same village all your life. Plenty of people are made that way. Others aren’t. And once you scratch the itch of wanderlust….

    There's some kind of Laffer curve here that can be drawn and I reckon 8 is closer to the ideal than, say, 28.
    I know someone who has easily gone into triple figures and I think at that point it's less achievement and more symptom. He's not happy and never has been.
    I’m well over 280. Is that pathological? I don’t think so. I like sex and I can get it, and when I can’t get, I’m prepared to pay for it

    Am I happy? No, not really. Am I unhappy? No, not that either. I’m alive

    And when it comes to my deathbed I think I shall be glad I’m at the 280 end of the spectrum rather than 8. I’ve lived and loved and laughed and left, as James Joyce rightly said
    That's a fairly precise "well over" - are you a notches on the bed post kind of guy.

    I'm high single figures and it still took me some thought to work out the number (much of my twenties was in a uni relationship, then four years after that ended I met my wife).

    For two of the happiest of my male friends the figure is, to the best of my knowledge, 1 (school and university sweethearts respectively) .

    Still, life would be dull if we were all the same. If 280+ works for you then good luck to you.

    Clegg of course the only peacetime LD leader since Lloyd George to end up in government and now likely to have had a say in the rebranding of one of the biggest corporations in the world, Facebook, to Meta as their VP of Global Affairs.

    Plus earning an alleged $2 million a year and supposedly quite the magnet for women in his youth.

    I am sure it makes up for losing his seat and leaving his party in the doldrums in 2015

    An old friend of mine told me, the other day, that he’s slept with 8 women. EIGHT

    SINGLE FIGURES

    He’s 57 so it’s about one a decade. Lol
    There's some kind of Laffer curve here that can be drawn and I reckon 8 is closer to the ideal than, say, 28.
    I know someone who has easily gone into triple figures and I think at that point it's less achievement and more symptom. He's not happy and never has been.
    I’m well over 280.

    30 is well above average, the average man has had 8 sexual partners and the average woman 7.

    I've slept with three women. Started a long term relationship at university. Started my current relationship about a year after the end of the previous one.

    I suppose that number would be higher if I hadn't had two long-term relationships. I've no wish for my current marriage to come to an end just so I can boost that number.
    That’s fair. I was being provocative in my earlier comment, and I do actually envy my happily married friends with low run rates (there aren’t many of them, but they exist)

    But I wouldn’t be happy - personally - knowing so little about sex and women, and you can only discover this stuff by doing it. With actual women. Or men. Or whoever rocks your coracle

    It’s like travel. You can be perfectly happy living in the same village all your life. Plenty of people are made that way. Others aren’t. And once you scratch the itch of wanderlust….

    If there were a small number of women whose profession was sleeping with men, and they were undersampled (or indeed did not keep a good count), then that might also account for the difference.

    Also, I believe there are certain men who go to foreign places and have sex with women. Which might also skew the numbers.

    Goodness me. Is there any random stat you haven't got your finger on?
    Of course he has the stats but presents even this one misleadingly!

    One of the sources for the 8 average is from millennials as at 2015, so when they were 25-35 depending on what definition they used. Lifetime will be a lot higher.

    How have the tech companies become these grotesque fucking gargoyles? Especially Facebook.

    Zuckerberg actually looks like a Bond villain now. This stiff, geeky, aspergery nerd who runs an evil empire that endangers the world. Like a ludicrous caricature, but true

    And then in the middle is Nick bloody Clegg?! How? Why?

    Also check out their PERFECTLY and identically furnished homes. A desert state Santa Fe aesthetic with hints of Nordic wordiness and an English hearth. The blue accents in Clegg’s home are so eerily on-point I wonder if it is all CGI and if they are all just avatars created by GPT3
    Link?

    Sounds off trend.

    An old friend of mine told me, the other day, that he’s slept with 8 women. EIGHT

    He’s 57 so it’s about one a decade. Lol
    There's some kind of Laffer curve here that can be drawn and I reckon 8 is closer to the ideal than, say, 28.
    I know someone who has easily gone into triple figures and I think at that point it's less achievement and more symptom. He's not happy and never has been.
    I’m well over 280. Is that pathological? I don’t think so. I like sex and I can get it, and when I can’t get, I’m prepared to pay for it

    Am I happy? No, not really. Am I unhappy? No, not that either. I’m alive

    And when it comes to my deathbed I think I shall be glad I’m at the 280 end of the spectrum rather than 8. I’ve lived and loved and laughed and left, as James Joyce rightly said
    That's a fairly precise "well over" - are you a notches on the bed post kind of guy.

    I'm high single figures and it still took me some thought to work out the number (much of my twenties was in a uni relationship, then four years after that ended I met my wife).

    For two of the happiest of my male friends the figure is, to the best of my knowledge, 1 (school and university sweethearts respectively) .

    Still, life would be dull if we were all the same. If 280+ works for you then good luck to you.
    Isn’t every man a ‘notches on the bedpost kind of guy’? We all count, as that surprisingly wise article linked by HYUFD explains. It’s human to count. Women do it too. Perhaps even more assiduously, and they measure each other by this metric

    I sat down the other day and tried to work out my own notches. It’s a blur. But it is definitely over 300. How do I know this? Because I spent a decade whoring. And I never repeated. That’s 200 right there. 20 a year. Easily done

    And I have had at least 100 partners that were one night stands/flings/affairs/girlfriends/sex parties

    I don’t just knap flint dildos for money

    'Nick Clegg the Fucker,' shurely?

    Remembering his famous 'not more than 30' comment.
    "No more than 30 ... it's a lot less than that". Honest but not exceptional surely?
    Speak for yourself, Stocky!
    Ahem. Hangs head in shame.

    I guess 30 may be exceptional for a dorky politician? Actually - thinking about it - I wonder whether female MPs have on average seen more action than the average male MP?
    An old friend of mine told me, the other day, that he’s slept with 8 women. EIGHT

    SINGLE FIGURES

    He’s 57 so it’s about one a decade. Lol
    I've slept with three women. Started a long term relationship at university. Started my current relationship about a year after the end of the previous one.

    I suppose that number would be higher if I hadn't had two long-term relationships. I've no wish for my current marriage to come to an end just so I can boost that number.
    That’s fair. I was being provocative in my earlier comment, and I do actually envy my happily married friends with low run rates (there aren’t many of them, but they exist)

    But I wouldn’t be happy - personally - knowing so little about sex and women, and you can only discover this stuff by doing it. With actual women. Or men. Or whoever rocks your coracle

    It’s like travel. You can be perfectly happy living in the same village all your life. Plenty of people are made that way. Others aren’t. And once you scratch the itch of wanderlust….
    I've only slept with one woman. I met the woman who is now my wife when I was 18 and she was 19. She's the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and she makes me laugh and has given me three lovely children, and I honestly have no interest in sleeping with anybody else.
    Chapeau. And I envy you your contentment. I sometimes wish I was made the same way. Sometimes

    30 is well above average, the average man has had 8 sexual partners and the average woman 7.

    Of course the more religious will only have had one, their spouse and some will have chosen not to have any eg Ann Widdecombe

    Apparently we have passed the symbolic 1 in 400 people in the U.K. has died of Covid. I assume this is about right, as although the exact number will not be known, around 150,000 is probably close. But I wondered how many die each year, and it must 1 in 90 or something close to that. Yes Covid has been bad. Yes we have made errors in trying to fight it. But why should the 1 in 400 thing be a thing?

    There's some kind of Laffer curve here that can be drawn and I reckon 8 is closer to the ideal than, say, 28.
    I know someone who has easily gone into triple figures and I think at that point it's less achievement and more symptom. He's not happy and never has been.
    I’m well over 280. Is that pathological? I don’t think so. I like sex and I can get it, and when I can’t get, I’m prepared to pay for it

    Am I happy? No, not really. Am I unhappy? No, not that either. I’m alive

    And when it comes to my deathbed I think I shall be glad I’m at the 280 end of the spectrum rather than 8. I’ve lived and loved and laughed and left, as James Joyce rightly said
    That's a fairly precise "well over" - are you a notches on the bed post kind of guy.

    I'm high single figures and it still took me some thought to work out the number (much of my twenties was in a uni relationship, then four years after that ended I met my wife).

    For two of the happiest of my male friends the figure is, to the best of my knowledge, 1 (school and university sweethearts respectively) .

    Still, life would be dull if we were all the same. If 280+ works for you then good luck to you.
    Isn’t every man a ‘notches on the bedpost kind of guy’? We all count, as that surprisingly wise article linked by HYUFD explains. It’s human to count. Women do it too. Perhaps even more assiduously, and they measure each other by this metric

    I sat down the other day and tried to work out my own notches. It’s a blur. But it is definitely over 300. How do I know this? Because I spent a decade whoring. And I never repeated. That’s 200 right there. 20 a year. Easily done

    And I have had at least 100 partners that were one night stands/flings/affairs/girlfriends/sex parties

    I don’t just knap flint dildos for money
    That’s a lot of experiences that turned out not worth repeating.

    To move on (so to speak) - the weekly passenger transport numbers.

    Oddly enough and possibly due to half term, rail passenger numbers dipped back to around 65% of pre-Covid numbers having touched 70% the previous week.

    Tube passenger numbers remain at about 60% on weekdays but above 75% at weekends.

    30 is well above average, the average man has had 8 sexual partners and the average woman 7.
    https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/the-ideal-number-of-sexual-partners-for-men-women#:~:text=A 2017 survey of 2,180,average of 7 sexual partners.

    Of course the more religious will only have had one, their spouse and some will have chosen not to have any eg Ann Widdecombe
    Goodness me. Is there any random stat you haven't got your finger on?
    Of course he has the stats but presents even this one misleadingly!

    One of the sources for the 8 average is from millennials as at 2015, so when they were 25-35 depending on what definition they used. Lifetime will be a lot higher.
    Lifetime is not much different, especially as more than half if they get married will be married by 35.

    42% of all adults have had 4 sexual partners or less over their lifetime and 64% have had 9 sexual partners or less.

    Only 2% are genuine Casanovas with more than 50 partners, probably very good looking or beautiful in their youth or very rich

Yes Covid has been bad. Yes we have made errors in trying to fight it. But why should the 1 in 400 thing be a thing?

    As far as can see, we are now in the position where positive tests are falling, and falling quite sharply, even when controlling for half term. Yet there is almost no mainstream coverage of it, despite the endlessly media shit-stirring when positive tests were rising.

    iSage have been strangely silent; the TV news, unmoved.

    You can see why people end up hatching ludicrous conspiracy theories over covid. The fall is newsworthy and yet, there is no news.

    An old friend of mine told me, the other day, that he’s slept with 8 women. EIGHT

    SINGLE FIGURES

    He’s 57 so it’s about one a decade. Lol
    I've slept with three women. Started a long term relationship at university. Started my current relationship about a year after the end of the previous one.

    I suppose that number would be higher if I hadn't had two long-term relationships. I've no wish for my current marriage to come to an end just so I can boost that number.
    That’s fair. I was being provocative in my earlier comment, and I do actually envy my happily married friends with low run rates (there aren’t many of them, but they exist)

    But I wouldn’t be happy - personally - knowing so little about sex and women, and you can only discover this stuff by doing it. With actual women. Or men. Or whoever rocks your coracle

    It’s like travel. You can be perfectly happy living in the same village all your life. Plenty of people are made that way. Others aren’t. And once you scratch the itch of wanderlust….
    Travel is only interesting because, in the cultures one visits, most of the populace have not travelled at all. A depressing thought.

    The OBR has taken a hard look at the evidence to date on the actual impact of Brexit. Its conclusion, briefly, is: “so far, so bad”. That is, the UK’s trade performance this year is consistent with its original estimates that UK exports and imports would both fall by 15%.

    Indeed, in some respects, the data so far looks even worse than that – UK exports have already fallen by approximately this much compared to pre-pandemic levels, while advanced economies as a whole have seen trade grow. And, again in common with external analysts, the OBR sees no evidence that trade deals with third countries, or any of the other putative economic benefits of Brexit, will offset this in any meaningful way.

    I would like to apologise unreservedly. Not for any offence caused (that's always intentional), but for voting for Nick fucking Clegg.

    'Nick Clegg the Fucker,' shurely?

    Remembering his famous 'not more than 30' comment.
    "No more than 30 ... it's a lot less than that". Honest but not exceptional surely?
    Speak for yourself, Stocky!
    Ahem. Hangs head in shame.

    I guess 30 may be exceptional for a dorky politician? Actually - thinking about it - I wonder whether female MPs have on average seen more action than the average male MP?
    30 is well above average, the average man has had 8 sexual partners and the average woman 7.

    Of course the more religious will only have had one, their spouse and some will have chosen not to have any eg Ann Widdecombe

    To be fair. She was quite fetching when young.



    We were all young once.


    Good god. You definitely would

    Also she’s wearing a choker symbolising submissiveness (in the world of kink)
    Well we already knew you would!

    Apparently we have passed the symbolic 1 in 400 people in the U.K. has died of Covid. I assume this is about right, as although the exact number will not be known, around 150,000 is probably close. But I wondered how many die each year, and it must 1 in 90 or something close to that. Yes Covid has been bad. Yes we have made errors in trying to fight it. But why should the 1 in 400 thing be a thing?

    As far as can see, we are now in the position where positive tests are falling, and falling quite sharply, even when controlling for half term. Yet there is almost no mainstream coverage of it, despite the endlessly media shit-stirring when positive tests were rising.

    iSage have been strangely silent; the TV news, unmoved.

    You can see why people end up hatching ludicrous conspiracy theories over covid. The fall is newsworthy and yet, there is no news.
    The contrast with the media last week would be astonishing, if it weren’t so predictably.

    They go up and down. Not much real change over the last couple of months IMO. Hospitalisations too. My Trust has been between 70 and 120 since August, currently 107.

    Goodness me. Is there any random stat you haven't got your finger on?
    Of course he has the stats but presents even this one misleadingly!

    One of the sources for the 8 average is from millennials as at 2015, so when they were 25-35 depending on what definition they used. Lifetime will be a lot higher.
    Lifetime is not much different, especially as more than half if they get married will be married by 35.

    42% of all adults have had 4 sexual partners or less over their lifetime and 64% have had 9 sexual partners or less.

    Only 2% are genuine Casanovas with more than 50 partners, probably very good looking or beautiful in their youth or very rich

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/science/how-many-sexual-partners-average-13442969
    If you look at that survey, filter by age to 65+, and allocate the 8% don't knows to the 20+ partners groups it looks about right to me.

    0 1%
    1 16%
    2-4 24%
    5-9 22%
    10-20 22%
    Over 20 17%

    https://www.euroclinix.net/en/vc/between-the-sheets/#/all-sexual-partners/asp-by-age

    Surveys that ask the question to a mix of 20 and 30 year olds are not getting the lifetime number at all.

    When I was a young man, a much older man advised me: ‘never turn down sex or travel’

    Superb advice

    @Anabobazina may well have a point though. Over the last few days we've had blind panic over cases going up and various experts shouting that we have to staple gags to people's faces and bring back social isolation rules at once or there'll probably be a massacre. Then it looks like cases might be going down and there's largely silence. Followed, doubtless, by another wave of panic if the trend reverses again.

    It's almost as if catastrophising makes for good clickbait.
