    You're in your twenties, Dubstarr is in her fourties, I'm in my thirties so we have three different decades of ages of social awkwardness! I'm not sure what age Princess Calla is and of course I wouldn't dare guess a woman's age! :P

    I'll give ye one to sort of counter the socially awkward people. I am a very outgoing person. I can walk in to a room of strangers and will know everyone within a few hours. My missus,my brothers and her brothers are the opposite. When we go somewhere I am the one expected to do all the talking and there are times where I just want to sit and be left alone but I am expected to carry the group cause if I don't no one else will and then we look like a bunch of dick's not interacting. Be nice to have the burden taken once or twice.

    I saw a meme on FB about a man in a cafe with no iPad, laptop, phone, books or earphones in. "the psycho!" it said. funnyish but sadly accurate now. everyone's locked into digital worlds. Even when I was with my ex he'd be furtively typing on WhatsApp in front of me. I have no time for that.

    I forget where I saw this tip but if you're very nervous, imagine the person you're talking to wearing a fluffy bunny costume.

    For the second time in 9 hours, I caught only the last 4 minutes of the Match If The Day, last night's and then the repeat this morning. I know I could have recorded it, but still...exactly 4 minutes each time, with the same person talking!

    Went to a local cafe for breakfast last month. Asked for my fried eggs to be cooked over easy and the waitress said “no problem”.
    The eggs came out perfect. Skin on top and perfectly runny in the middle.

    Went back there today and asked for the same. Different waitress who said “so you want the eggs hard?” I said no and explained what over easy meant. She said ok.
    The eggs came out over hard.

    I like quiet people. They can be very thoughtful and observant. Weirdly though a TA of mine is being described as quiet. It's called listening and adding my view as and when. I've never left a conversational gap anyway. The only people who ever called me quiet turned out to be arses probably hoping for a timid woman to dominate.

    I hate when people say too me "Ohhhh why are you so quiet, he's very quiet isn't he" .

    Washed my jeans and they went back to their pre-stretched state but they feel like they shrunk three sizes. The jeans waistband and my stomach grew out together quite a bit the last month it seems. Wish I could shrink my stomach by just giving it a wash too 😂

    You know they say not to wash your jeans, put jeans in the freezer instead

    I switched off my phone one night and it was the worst night ! I didn't realise how much everyone is constantly on their phone, texting , googling. Every attempt at conversation involved showing something on the phone. I had to leave

    I don't showing something on the phone mind if they're giving an example with a photo or something. That's not sneaky, low, or excluding the person in your company.

    If I have to reply to a message I'd explain it's for e.g.. my friend who is struggling with something, or it's a relative.

    Way back, the standard measure was what, today, is a double.
    So what is today's single was known as a half drop.

    Was physically killing myself trying to fix something earlier today and exclaimed "Fúcking Hell!" and then a voice comes from my phone, 'According to Wikipedia Fúcking Hell is a German Pilsner or pale lager with an alcohol content of 4.9%. It is named after the village of Fúcking in Austria; hell is the German word for 'pale' and a typical description of this kind of beer.'

    Fúcking Hell!

    When people don’t listen to me.

    I met one of my aunts at my uncles funeral a few weeks ago. Haven’t seen her in years, and have no real interest in being close with her after she said some nasty things about me, my sister and my father after my mother (her sister) died.

    At the funeral she told me she has kept all the cards from every single flower arrangement we’ve put on her grave over the past 10 years and said she’d send them to me. I asked her not to, as I really didn’t want them. They only hold painful memories for me.

    They arrived in the post a few days ago. I was fit to be tied. Why can’t people just fu(king listen?
