Questions Game

No, and that's a very silly question.

Have you ever tried being serious for two seconds?
(Where's Pragmatic, by the way- I enjoy talking to her, and I miss her :wink: )

I was being serious.I hate travel.It's odd that people who like travel call people silly for hating travel and people who hate travel don't call people silly for liking it.

Why would anybody like travel?

I wasn't calling you silly for saying you hated travel - in fact, I didn't call you silly at all - I said your question was silly. You asked if anyone had ever tried to hate travel. Why would anyone try to hate travel? There are things I hate about travel - it can be utterly exhausting - and I certainly don't begrudge anyone their right to hate travel- in fact I can totally understand it.

I'm feeling very fragile today for some reason. Do you think you could be nice to me?

0 Replies

I'm always nice to you.I'm nice to everybody.Well-nearly everybody.

Why are you feeling fragile today?

0 Replies

I don't know - just feeling wistful about stuff. (That was nice of you to ask).

Do you ever feel wistful?

0 Replies

Yeah.We often get a bit wisful in the pub.Mainly about our childhood adventures but also about our first attempted conquests.We see these young girls today who are just too easy and we shake our heads wistfully when we see their jeans and their bellies and their tattoos and we hear their coarse obscene voices feigning excitement.It's okay being wistful.Proust made a masterpiece out of wistfulness.

Is it a sad feeling for you?

0 Replies

Yes - and unsettling. You know I just can't settle down and concentrate on anything- and I don't really know what I want.

What are you doing today?

0 Replies

All sorts of things.At the moment,it seems,I'm trying to cheer you up without engaging in any phoney stuff.

I've lost count of the number of women I've heard say,"I don't really know what I want".I didn't understand it the first time and I still don't understand it now.

What's with you women?

Different brain wiring. There are lots of things to want and they conflict; some of them may be 'being a nice and helpful person' or even 'being seen as a nice and helpful person'. For men it seems more linear.

I ask that question a lot.

But I do find it really sweet when they at least try to understand - don't you?

0 Replies

It would only be sweet if the understanding led to the question ceasing to be asked.

Do you enjoy saying "I don't really know what I want"?

0 Replies

No, I hate it. But it is true sometimes.

Listen - I appreciate your kindness. And don't hesitate to let me know if I can ever repay it in kind, okay?

Gotta go - talk to you later. Hope you have a good evening.

Well, I hope aidan feels better soon. I know she's a bit melancholy about her son growing up - he started driving (yesterday, I think)

Do you ever feel all alone and lonely?

hi aidan

sorry you're feeling low. I dont know if you ever read any of the rubbish i post but i owe you an apology, I thought you were er how best to describe? ok I'll say it .......a man.

Now I suppose Steve could be a girls name these days so just in case you were wondering...... Smile

Do you play suduko?

0 Replies

I don't know what to say- thanks for your concern. I was just feeling nostalgic - but am definitely happier now.

Steve - what are you apologizing for? What's sukudo?

0 Replies

I hope that Steve can explain that because I can't say I know what "sukudo" means, but it sounds Japanese.

How many languages can you speak?

0 Replies

Only one-English. I can understand a little French - but murder it when I try to speak it. And I hate to do that as I think it's a beautiful language.

I kind of got the feeling a while back that Steve was trying to wind me up - but I really didn't understand what he was trying to say - so I just ignored it. Anyway - no harm done.

Do you think you're a good friend to your friends?

0 Replies

Ohhh....I hope I am. But I understand that even friends have their little spits with each other every now and then. The question then becomes whether we are such good friends that we can forgive and forget easily. yeah.

Were you born in the UK?

0 Replies

Okay - I'll play along. No - you'll never believe this, but I'm a native Texan. Don't worry though - no Texas twang - I know people from Britain and other places don't really enjoy a southern accent. I grew up in NJ so I have this weird combination of accents that results in no discernable accent at all. People always guess that I'm Canadian for some reason.

How about you? Do you have an Aussie accent?
