General Chat

I talk to myself and there is no stranger person than that.

I do talk to strangers but only if they talk to me first, I´m actually quite shy,
My Mum would talk to a brick wall if would answer her but after her last 2 weeks I think she may be as shy as me now.
lol I am such a socialble person but I am so ruddy shy in real life it´s unbelievable, especially when you think I was a landlady of a pub ! :-0

The first cruise we went on a few years ago, had quiet a few more matura folks on it and I was astounded at seeing them queuing to see the ships Dr on the days we were at sea from 8Am onwards. :-(

Hayley, don't get me started on a friend of my mums and her visits to the doctor :-0 We had her off pat as kids LOL "Doctor said they haven't got a name for it Mrs ****** / you could drop any minute" :-0 :-0 :-D :-D

I didn't have to ask one lady Stray. :-0 :-0

I chat away to people on the bus. There's an old fellow of about 94, still lives on his own, out and about every day, and knows the entire 20th century history of Norwich, including who built which terrace of houses (his dad), and how much (£80), everything about the fishmonger's trade, where the WW2 bombs hit. He's lovely though, even if he does tell the same story over and over every time I see him.

Only last week I sat at the bus stop waiting for the bus and a woman came along and started chatting away. By the time I got on the bus, I'd learned how she was going to view her dad in the funeral place, how she's the youngest sister, how nobody told her how ill her dad had been and how much he needed to be looked after, and how she's now slated by her sisters because she didn't do it. How much the flowers will be, what coffin he's getting, and loads more. I made sure I didn't sit on a seat on my own LOL

Or Island my eyes glasing over and trying not yawn and every Dr must tell their patients that NEVER in their medical career have they every witnessed anything so bigger badder worser than theres they must me be medical mavels :-\

A woman on a bus once told me she had just bought a stimulated sheepskin coat - I thought long and hard what one would look like! :-D

thats why i avoid asking oldies, how they are,
i get sick of hearing, about there ailments :-(

it really doesnt need saying over n over agian, lol

Hayley, it's the graphic detail that gets me - surely they must notice my eyes crossing :-0

Chat to everyone. They don't always engage though. I think its the area I now live in. People a bit more guarded than Northerners but neverthelkess OK.

Vera

*stares at herself in the mirror and wonders why she's foaming at the mouth* ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Glad I got the lurching under control though pmsl x

Island why do people feel the need to regale EVERY medical aliment they have to people everytime you see them there is something else...ZZZZZZzzzzzzz

They talk to me also Muffy lol.

I don't pry but people do seem to tell me things ...but I am not a patch on a lady I know, on trains or coaches she will sit by someone even if the rest of the seats are empty and tell them every detail of her life and of everyone elses she has ever known...I have seen grown men reel off the train at the end of a 4 hour journey and weep with relief lolol..... well not quite but very close to that ;-)

Thats because you have the same frenzied look in your eye Muffy and they think Arrrhhh one of us :-D

Last year went we to Dublin for the weekend, I think I chatted to everyone on the flight over I was sat next to a chap who was on his way home to visit his poorly Dad, I knew all the family by the time I got off the flight and its only 40 mins Itsmytelly and my sister were laughing and shaking their head, he was on the same flight back first thing I did was go over and ask after his dad... I didnt sit next to him though on the way home I was too busy listening to the 3 blokes chatting on behind me the older one in his later 60's who was going to England to visit his daughter, I know all his 3 daughters have wonderful careers the brainest kids ever live in massive houses and have shed loads of money....made me smile :-D

Yes :-D but I'm not quite up to life history standard as my SiL is LOL

I don't know why people want to regale me with their medical ailments though :-0 :-S

I do :-D just ask my OH...lololol

I ALWAYS get targetted by the bus/train/coach nutter.

If they're lurching about wildly and have a frenzied look in their eye...they head straight for me lol x

Yes.


Everyone is a stranger when you first meet them :-D :-D

Yes I often do Ann,but usually if they take the initiative..

A couple of years ago travelling on the tube,I got into such an interesting conversation with a lovely Jamaican lady sitting with me.
Before she got off I was invited to a party she and her family were having that night lol ..... my Dil was tickled pink :-)

Makes the world go around and wish more folk did it :-D....same as Hayley and Ann :-D

always do, always have!!! talk to anyone anywhere me!!!
