My kind of thread - Celtic fringes

a phrase alledgedly used by aliens to describe the virtue of earth girls. It is part of a family of expressions like the description of US Army lads in England during WWII "overpaid, oversexed, and over here".
Why is it that the girls from far away look so very tasty.... is it the grass is greener syndrome?

It's not that the girls "from away" are "easy." It is that it is easier for a man to abandon moral restraints when pursuing women who don't remind him of his mother and sisters and the girl-next-door.

It's equally true that having a non-native accent apparently adds to a man's allure - the number of times I have been told in the USA that I'm just like Rupert Everett is ridiculous. Admittedly we're fractionally similar in coloration and diction, but he's apparently about 3 inches taller than me and we don't share the same gender preferences.

And you always reminded me of Rhett Butler...

Being a Good Boy as well as a Rude Boy, I have not 'cherched' les femmes since churching ma femme, but I do wonder if there is more of 'it' about these days, particularly due to ladette culture. Young women/girls appear to have more licence than when I was a lad or rather their inhibitions are markedly reduced due to drinking to excess. From the recent STD figures, either youngsters are being a bloody site less careful than in my youth or there is just a heck of a lot more sex going around. I shouldn't complain, I suppose - I can't afford to buy convertibles!

Some accents are alluring - Irish, Northmberland, Welsh and Scottish - funnily enough - the less 'Normanised' areas. Polls conducted for call centre purposes found those to be most liked too. The call of the Celtic fringes...
