And they can be quite lethal too! 
So you’d better watch yourself, Harbal! 
Well you could talk to you neighbours more if you get bored!
I can usually judge when to stop just before it gets to the handbag swinging stage.
I’ll never have that much time.
I’m not so sure but thanks anyway,mate.
Twink, Why should l have to do all that?
Why aren’t l entitled to go about my way and enjoy my life? Why should l add to the global destruction by taking my car?
Saying, ‘Sorry, l need to finish my book’, sounds very rude to me. I could not do that as l am very polite and l find that quite an ignorant thing to say, actually.
Twink, I think you are being unrealistic! We are talking about over an hour of non stop, one way conversation here, not a fleeting, ‘Hello, lovely weather today but we could do with a bit of rain’!
Well I think Harbal is a fraud.And just pretending to be heartless.I’m sure he’d be a very good neighbour.Just don’t lend him anything.
Yep! 
This comment reminds me of when I was 11 or 12 years old. I had come downstairs to see what Santa had brought me and there resting against the settee was a brand spanking new pushbike. Oh my goodness, I was so, so happy, so much so I was talking to it lol. A memory that’s never faded.
Back on topic. I will talk to anyone. You may not like to hear others problems but sometimes it does the bearer of the problem a world of good to get that problem off their chest. You may unwittingly really be helping someone who is suffering real mental anguish with that particular problem.
My Mother always told me, a trouble shared, is a trouble halved.
Exactly, and I don’t want half of someone else’s trouble. 
I know. :roll:…if you get two people’s halves, it make a whole lotta trouble!
Geddit? Whole…? Yeah ok, I thought it was funny for this early on! never mind, as you were :shock:
Yes, but it’s a good job you didn’t leave it any later. 
Only kidding. :hug:
It takes a while for my brain to activate into the witty zone 
I can’t say I off load my personal problems to others, but I’m a strong person and don’t feel the need to,
But some people need others to offload onto, I will always listen and help if I can, it makes me feel good inside to help or listen to another, …if we all helped one another, this world would be a much better, world, imo…
Edit to add…some people don’t have any family, I could be the only person they see all day, so if I have the time, then I have no problem with them off loading onto me.
Pauline, good to see you. 
You could always get off the bus and then catch the next one
Twink??
Donkeyman!
In future, l am going to lie on threads like this instead of telling the truth. Then l will get lots of pats on the back and some brownie points! 
In fact, l might even go back to the town where l met the lady, find her, invite her back to my home and let her stay for as long as she likes and l will be all ears!
Yes, Walter.
We live in a small popup tent in our garden, since we invited a large number of strangers to take over our house and live scot free at our expense. We’ve even put a little inflatable boat on our pond so some of them can re-live and recount their perilous journey over to the UK.
I thought you were extremely patient with that lady, Artangel. With enemies like you, who needs friends! ;)
