    It happens from time to time, sometimes on a lonely stretch of country road or along a dusty kerb in the slack hours of the city, you're cycling, jogging or perhaps speed-walking in your little yellow shorts, listening to Paul Simon in badly-encoded FLAC format and in front of you appears a striking silhouette, a feminine shape of indeterminate age or origin, diaphanous satin caressing the rolling bezier curve of her soft hips as she sashays along the concrete with all the time in the world, brown calves smooth and taut, ankles slim in summer heels, the subtle arch of her back yielding the promise of a full bosom, shoulders round and inviting, hair falling in flaxen locks either side of a gently concave nape.... you draw alongside and overtake her, so far she's 10/10 but you're faced with a dilemma - do you flip the head round and make sure the face completes the picture and makes your morning or do you cruise on by, staring straight ahead, for fear of destroying the image of perfection when you see the crushed mug of a staffordshire welded onto what could have been a pretty head?

    yes and no. It's a tough oune OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    I would do pretty much anything so I would look.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,109 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    I've had too much **** material ruined by a ferrit face. NEVER look back. remember it as it was meant to be, not what it really is

    I know what Snyper would do!

    I'd look back and smile.

    It's all or nothing, she could have a really pretty face and thus be the most beautiful woman you've ever seen, I'd rather take that "risk" and know, than not take it and living with "I wonder if...".


  • Registered Users Posts: 755 ✭✭✭mr kr0nik


    I wouldn't bother overtaking her and just follow her for a bit... Hmmm.... stalker...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 205 ✭✭Prefabsprouter


    ah, I'd look back! why not?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,432 ✭✭✭Steve_o


    I'd look back...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Dinter


    Have to look back.

    You need the full picture!

    Speed up, sprint for 100 metres, run around a pole, and jog back in her direction for a proper gander;)

    do you cruise on by, staring straight ahead, for fear of destroying the image of perfection when you see the crushed mug of a staffordshire welded onto what could have been a pretty head?
    Ah yes the BOBFOC. Body off Baywatch, face off Crimewatch.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,831 ✭✭✭CountingCrows


    Depends on what Paul Simon song I was listening to, if it was Graceland

    "And she said losing love
    Is like a window in your heart,
    Everybody sees you're blown apart,"


    I'd probably be to cynical to look back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 825 ✭✭✭CtrlSource


    i'd look sideways. My peripheral vision is remarkable :pac:

    Have you ever thought about writing novella erotica? 'Cos I am so turned on right now:D
    I would steal a sideways glance as I was walking by. Something similar happened last night walking up o'connell street. Girl walked out from the Odeon in front of me in the shortest skirt I have ever seen. I'm talking illegal. Between Odeon and before the Ambassador, at least 10 guys turned 180 after walking past to stare at her. It's not that she was stunningly beautiful, it's just that her skirt was so short. The funniest were the couples walking towards, and the guy is just staring at the legs with glazed eyes and open mouth while the girlfirend is all "bla bla bla" Did anyone else see her

    It's the yellow shorts, isn't it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    Yeah the yellow shorts made it. I was kind of expecting an appearance from Mr.T though ;(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Would it actually make a huge difference if her face wasn't that nice? Like would your day be ruined or something?

    By his description I think she'd still undoubtedly get it in most cases but it would obviously ruin the 10/10 prediction!

    no but it would impact on your decisions wrt positions,lights on or off,etc.I'd look btw.

    Oh yeah. Love that sh!t

    A badly encoded FLAC? Surely you mean a low bitrate MP3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    I always want to look but never have the balls to.

    Ah you would have to look...
    Store it in the bank for later


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Again, LOL.

    What if it was an image you'd prefer to delete rather than store though?

    I do the sneaky one with the wing mirror and a touch on the brakes...

    [edit]
    *reads OP again*

    Wait, jogging or cycling? Don't jog, so doesn't happen...when I was a cyclist, yeah nearly always have to look back...the picture isn't complete without a face tbh...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    I'de run directly ahead and stand completely still. Then, without turning around I would slowly lie down on my back and wait...
