HeadingNorth Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 If you google "pled" you will see that "pleaded" has been has, in recent years, replaced "pled". Ah, well, I'm old. Rub it in, why don't you. Perhaps now we can get back to the interesting discussion, which is whether not your activities behind a locked door in a hostel, can reasonably be considered to be private. After all you don't own the hostel; but you should be entitled to assume that cleaners won't walk in on you unannounced, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthenekred Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7098116.stm Ask yourself if you've ever done anything in a room that would be considered "off" if someone walked in. I know I have. You know you wanna tell. Weez all ears. Or should I say eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for you (and porn writers everywhere) this is a public forum where I would have to star out most of the words. I wasn't always a good boy.
