My Typical Weekend...

[tgpo]

Seems To Last Less Than A Hour

Where does the time go?

[indolikaa]

I'm the duly-appointed househusband. The weekends are time to deal with household frivolities and the 'Honey-Do' jar.

And the model trains!

[Hardcoreruss]

Seems to last less than an hour here also. I have a half day from work today though, so it will be a bit longer.

[pacmania_2001]

Work friday nights and saturday afternoon so depending on how busy work was depends if I can be stuffed going out.

Friday's if I do go out typically to a movie or hanging out with friends, maybe go to the local club/pub.

Saturday is spent relaxing before work. Saturday night might go to the casino or into the city or bludge at home if its been busy.

Sunday is a bludge day or for family things i.e relatives visiting.

[SatStorm]

Winter: Clubbing, Sex, Relaxing, watching TV

Summer: Short vacations in a nearby Greek Island (which includes sea swimming, Clubbing, Sex and partying)

[Will Hay]

Satstorm, you're a coplete and utter bastard, I hate you with a passion, and I don't use the word 'hate' very often

Plan this weekend:
Lie in Saturday until 10am, potter around until mid-day, 8.5 month pregnant wife and 2 year old son roll in from visiting Gr&Gr in the morning and then we'll play in the afternoon; little boy ill this week
Spend 18:30 getting son ready for bed and then what could be another hour getting him to sleep/making sure he stays in bed.
Maybe get a takeaway (weekly treat, money tight with only one income now) and watch a movie.
Bed 22:30-ish, might watch footie highlights depending on how tired I am.
Sunday the same, except no takeaway I'll be up at anything between 06:30 and 07:30, wifes lie in.

Great eh?
Frick, my life sucks

First few years of family life are tough, I know, I know, I'm not complaining; I wouldn't do anything else (except hang out with Satstorm perhaps).
Weekends when my boy ain't ill is pretty good, he's an angel and a joy.

i dont really have an option to vote. it really depends on my mood(yeah im a moody bisch) some weekends it seems like fall asleep on the couch friday night and dont wake up til monday morn. other weekends it seems like a non stop party, drink til drunk(what else is there to do in vegas?)

[SatStorm]

Will Hay, it seems that you had accidents with your wife too often!

Thanks God, with my - for 6 years now - girlfriend I don't have any accidents. I know, I know I'm a lucky bastard....


like last week, I had almost an accident: I "met" a girl at my appartment, 10 minutes before my girlfriend arrives... Now that is what I call "luck". Or the other time, that almost teen girl "visit" me to watch cartoons and my girlfriend found us in the coatch, indeed still watching cartoons (you'll be amaze how many female post teens found pepe le pew attractive and what later effect that toons have on them...). Don't mention the other time, I was in that near athens island, and my girlfriend supposed to come the next day, but she didn't. She came the same day, only later. Just imagine, a minute before I was thinking: "what the hell? No girl like me tonight?

Yes, I'm a lucky bastard....

[Will Hay]

Six years and you treat her like shit?
Man, I'm rethinking my opinion of you

@Will Hay
I like flerting, something North West Europeans and Americans don't understand easy. From my experiance, they understand "flerting" as "get her in bed" action, while it isn't.

Flert is an mediterenian art and has nothing to do with Sex. It is an action between introducing yourself to a girl and get her on bed. From my knowledge, this is something Brits can't get it as an idea.
It is not a sexual or erotic act, it is more a sencual act. Italians, Spains and Greeks have it by nature, Germans can understand it (but they can't do it), French can immitate it and Brits simply can't get it! Nor Scandinavians, but they sure like it....

For us, when we flert, it doesn't mean that we search for a sex partner or an one night stand.
In a way it is an action to practice ourselfs on "approach the different sex matters", also keeping ourself up to date. Both men and women do it, in a different way of course. If I don't tell you that those two are flerting, you wouldn't even notice it, I'm sure. You have to learn the action to understand it. For a Brit, flerting looks sometimes is irritating sex attack, or a fun joke. Can't explain it more to you, sorry...

[Will Hay]

Yeah, I know the concept of flirting; but your message (and certainly your tiny text message - I 'met' a girl) seemed to insinuate sex/cheating on your girlfriend of six years.
Must confess, it didn't sound like you, you seem a pretty stand-up guy
Will


EDIT: Hang on, are you saying you do have jiggy-jiggy with other girls other than your girlfriend?
Man, that is wild!!!!!!!!!
And you say it's a normal practice in Eastern Europe?

[Will Hay]

Will Hay, it seems that you had accidents with your wife too often!

All planned my friend, all planned and timed to the week, no shit!
I must a fertile love machine

My wife got pregnant when she had a coil fitted, well she wasn't my wife at the time. Scared me a bit back then, but very happy about it now to be a young dad. I think if we had to wait to plan for the right time, I would probrably never have had any kids.

[SatStorm]

Flert, is a practice at the european Mediterenian Countries and the south Balkans.
Eastern Europe has nothing to do with it.
Also, Hellas is not a part of Eastern Europe in any term...

The roots of flirting, are ancient and are not jiggy-jiggy the way you understand it. Neither "Wild". Trust me, you can't get it!

Brit girls are straight on this, when they want something they tell you and they are not hidding something from you.
Also, they have something called "pass by", right? Is a signal from a brit girl to approach her (basicly somewhere near the WC or other private place). You exchange names, couple of smiles, probably a phone number. Next step is to meet her somewhere else and really introduce yourself so to learn each other...

It doesn't work this way here, or any mediterenian country. The first step to meet a girl is to get her attention. Then, you have to show her through others, who and what you are. Why? Because she can't ask oppenly about you, there is no way to get the needed infos. If she do that thing, is liketelling that she is interest about you. And because of our attitude, we concern her "easy".
So what you do: You flirt with the girls you know, just to show her your ways and to approach her through them. Or you flirt her direct, depending the circustances.
Sometimes you do this "art" infront of your wife , just to prove her that you still count as a person in an attractive level.
In other words, flirt is a adult game, with plenty rules and high risk. As a game, you have to keep practising it, so to keep being a champ!
Afterall, flirt can make you look attractive and for our sociaties, when a woman is able to "cage" an attractive man, makes her feel herself attractive. And vice versa...
Because of flirting the Italians are trying and succeed to look so good looking, with Greeks and Spanish to follow close... How you act, how you speak, how you dress and how you transmit "signals" to the opposite search.
Another determination of flirt could be "cynism of erotism".

???

[Will Hay]

sat, much clearer, thanks, and very interesting.
I never knew that shit existed (and seem to remember you being in Eastern Europe )




tgpo,

[ricky1756]

i get together with this girl from southern europe, who says she dates some guy named sat something

[indolikaa]

SatStorm. Smoother than Cedric the Entertainer with a Bud Light.

[jaxxboss]

SatStorm is a load of crap. LOL. Ive lived in Sicily and Crete and Capri. He talks like there is a big difference between cutures, when in all actuality there is only a language gap. The same goes on here in the States as does southeastern europe. I cant speak for Western europe, although I have spent a couple years in Spain, which has its own good times as well.
The only thing difference is the language and the time zone, both of which I handled there and here. Trust me, Ive seen plenty of pregnant babes over there with their disgruntled hubby and kid in tow. Its all the same, if ur miserbale over here you have a doppleganger over there.

[SatStorm]

You didn't saw Greek girls... When a Greek girl turns like that you describe has to leave the country for good. Nobody gonna marrie her, respect her, give her a job or even sympathize her. It is obvious you don't know about mediterenian coltoures....
Same story with Southern Italy...

On out countries, try to mess up with the local populations, and expecially for Creta and Sicily, experience the beauty of Vedetta. There are well known stories of Creta locals, go and search for 10 years american troupers, because on a visit they did in the island, they have the idea to "get down" with accidents with some local teen (and post teen) girls... You don't want to read the circustances after they found them...
Today, you can see albanian, pakistani, indian, bulgarian, rusian, ukranian and others girls do those stuff in Greece (and Italy, I don't know for spain, this country changed a lot the last 12 years...) telling that there are greeks and speaking the language. Or, western cevilised gypsy girls. Yes, those girls do those things. They don't have to worry about them, one day they gonna return "rich" on their countries and nobody gonna ask how they got that money.... They gonna be "good brides" for their countries, that import income...

Just to simplified, there is NO way for a foreigner to **** easy a typical Greek Girl. Only when she is married with a 25+ year older husband. It use to happen here (still does...), expecially on low population islands. Why this? Because the "foreigners" or "immigrnads" phenomenon is something really new here, and people afraid to do mix ups. Greece use to be a 98% Greek Orthodox only country, with 99% Greeks. Today, is 85% Greeks and 15% foreigners. In only ten years... You don't understand the impact, expecially for a sociaty so devoted to tradition.

Just for the info, 20+ Years ago, there was in Hellas some american army bases (still are, as a NATO ones). Nearby, as usual on those cases, there are places to entertain the troupers. To give them a life in other words. On those places, you might see many things, but as you probably know, it is afake situation... It is made up just for troupers. And the people involve there is "special" people.

Same story you can say for vacations. "Sky One" channel at the UK, have a series called "Greece Uncovered". On that series, they show Brits doing vacations in Greece and they present the country through this filter.
The problem is that they only mention those special made villages, something builted for British tourists and only for them (A common secret: Don't mix Brits with any other European tourists. Trouble is just around the corner). There are 3 big "villages" for brits, at Corfu, Creta and Rhodos. There are also some few smaller ones, which are family destinations. You see ANYTHING there. But those places are made for specific reasons. Has nothing to do with the Greek reallity. Walk 5Khm away those "destinations" and see a tottally different country.
Also, 20+ years ago, the american troupers use to be the best income for Creta and Sicily. We have a phrase back then for the americans: "Welcome moving Dollar"... Girls of really low luck, use to do some things back then, because they had to feed theirselfs. Expecially from communist families (a side effect we had because of the cold war years: Greek population was devided back then. The communists use to beat up, get in jail for no reason and had no money at all. Well, the girls had to find a way to feed their selfs right? USA troupers was the best way).

Anyway, this is a big story not for this topic.... Just to add, that you don't get the idea when you visit any country through tourist agencies or through army...
The difference is so huge, like getting the idea what USA is, through Hollywood Movies.

[fritzi93]

Back to the original question, here's how mine usually starts:

Walk in the door, singing the following to the tune "Hallelujah Chorus":

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! It's Fri-i-i-day!

The weekend's here and we'll drink a lot of bee-eer.

We'll relax (Alleluia! Alleluia!)

And take off our slacks (Alleluia! Alleluia!)

And sit around the house in our rotten underwe-ar!

Alle-uia!

Next thing is, ask the wife: "Hey, baby, food first or f**k first?"
That result on that one's variable, the rest of the weekend goes pretty much as predicted. But who says Americans have no romance in their souls?

[rhegedus]

Work every other Saturday and every Sunday.

[rhegedus]

Hey, Satstorm

Maybe living away from home has had an effect on the Greek girls I know here in the UK - most of them use their knickers as ankle warmers!

[g_shocker182]

Hey satstorm, been to naxos ?


What about koufonissia?

[SatStorm]

Naxos: Winter Greek population: 11500 people - Income: Turism / Oil
Koufonisia: Winter Greek population: 450 people - Income: Tourism / Fishing

Greece Population: 12.5 millions

@rhegedus: Greek girls or Greek - Cyprus ones? Huge difference / ~ same language

I couldn't blame Greeks / Italians outside there countries turning wild... They can't do some things at their countries, they gonna do it somewhere else, IF they have the opportunety.

Mediterenians are Hiprotics on moral matters. And the word "Hiprotics" is a greek one....

[rhegedus]

@rhegedus: Greek girls or Greek - Cyprus ones? Huge difference / ~ same language

I can't tell the difference - what should I look out for?

Mediterenians are Hiprotics on moral matters. And the word "Hiprotics" is a greek one....

Don't you mean hypocrits? Maybe the Greek is different....

[SatStorm]

Yes, hypocrits, first time I use this word in English.
Mediterenians are Hyprocrits on Morals: They are TOO ethical in a local level and TOO advance when they are somewhere else... Just like they don't respect nothing, expept the place of their birth!

The difference between Greeks and Cypriots are like the differences of Irish/Scotch/Wellish/English in UK, Germans / Austrians / North Swiss, North / South Italians, etc.
Cypriots also use to be under UK goverment control (60s), so as a sociaty are more close to Brits: They have a same school system, better economy, even their cars are made different. Also Cypriots have access to British education (as all the UK ex-colonies do). So, many Cypriots goes to UK Univercities to study by tradition. For Greeks, it is a very expencive choice for education, only few can follow it.
Hellas from the other hand, use to be under German control and after ww2 under USA control. As a country has a lower economy and the influences from Balkans are plenty.
For a non Greek, it is difficult to tell the difference. But the Cypriot girls are more hot, more feminist and less traditional on morals. More west like if you prefer...

[g_shocker182]

but have you been to those islands?

[SatStorm]

Only on neighbour ones. For example I use to be a DJ at Paros (a near island, more popular as a tourism destination) and Ikaria (koufonisia islands belong in Ikaria island. Koufonisia have a very short tourist period - 2 months at best)
I worked as a DJ for about 8 years all around Greece. That's why I know things about other coultures. I use to take long and detail conversations with tourists and visitors, just to learn about their thoughts, traditions and thinking. I love learning new stuff and realise the differences between europeans. Since now we are almost one country (E.U.), we have to learn each other fast, so our childern don't have to adapt hard to the new paneuropean reality...
This is of course a total different approach when you are a Dj. When you are on this position, you mostly look for fast sex. Not that I didn't have my lucky moments of course
But what to expect from a mutan yellow picatsu like me?
