What do you guys talk about in general life?

INB4 this is the ‘4th worst thread on boards.ie’ comment.

Just curious what you talk about with other half, mates, family etc.

I just saw the thread about ‘you’ve just been kidnapped’ to me that kind of topic has always been the type you’d have online but never ever ever heard people bring up such a topic in a real life setting. If I brought up a topic like that it would be so forced and wooden, but seems like that kinda thing would be a cool conversation.

I find all my conversations to be so dull, not that I’m bored by other people, just that I bore myself(this thread for instance)

But I’d like to know.

I was in the Generalife in June with the other half. Despite the spectacular surroundings, what we spoke about, iirc, was changing electricity supplier.

Didn’t go to the Alhambra. Too crowded.

Today discussed boilers, electric gates, the upcoming weather and a dead bloke!

TV, video games, board games, identifying who in a film we're watching has been in other films and what they were, our kids, who was a dick to us at work that day, food

Stuff like that!

With my wife I can talk about anything, though I'm more than happy to mostly listen. She's so incredibly intelligent, accomplished, and wise so it's an honour to hear her wax lyrical about almost any topic. With my son we mostly talk about running. With my daughter I try to talk to her about her diet.

Board games? I don't think I had that discussion since the 80's, and that was to slag off dungeons and dragons types.

Among my friends? Politics, history, cars, new tech, old tech, interesting books, flics, TV, web stuff we've seen, work, family, general stuff and yep things like you've just been kidnapped. And weirder...

How do those convos usually go? How are you informed enough to be able to drag out such a conversation?

Who is dead locally and suchlike.
I work off the assumption that you good people might not be bothered.

All the same, the LCD thing on here can be a root of many problems. Take Trump for instance. I will never meet him and could not give a monkeys about him. He can get people into a froth online. He is not what Homer composed the Iliad about really.

Was chatting with a colleague over lunch. His in laws were down so we chatted a bit about inlaws - I'm very lucky with my inlaws as they're lovely people and he has the opposite luck. His MIL sounds like a bit of a wagon so he needed a bit of a vent about that.

I'm organising a trip to an event, bite to eat and a few pints for work mates on Friday evening after work. So we chatted about that. Normal stuff.

We also chatted about mince pies and the time he got a double decker which was only a single decker. So he wrote to Cadburys and got a voucher from them.

Just the usual shyte talk.

I have lived in important places, times
When great events were decided; who owned
That half a rood of rock, a no-man’s land
Surrounded by our pitchfork-armed claims.
I heard the Duffys shouting ‘Damn your soul!’
And old McCabe stripped to the waist, seen
Step the plot defying blue cast-steel –
‘Here is the march along these iron stones’
That was the year of the Munich bother. Which
Was more important? I inclined
To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin
Till Homer’s ghost came whispering to my mind.
He said: I made the Iliad from such
A local row. Gods make their own importance.

Those are exactly the kinds of conversations I have with my family and friends. But they're intermingled with "did anything exciting happen today? Oh, the neighbour's dog came to visit, and then left again?" and "In case of a zombie attack, would you head for the attic and try wait them out, or take off across the fields?".

I think it depends on whether your friends and family are happy to go with the flow. 80% of our conversations are normal "boring" stuff. What we did today, what we need to get done tomorrow. The other 20% are random flights of fancy that people go with the flow with. My father is less inclined to follow along with the madness, preferring more factual conversations, but most other people I hang out with are happy to discuss what material would they like their pirate peg leg to be made from.

Of course she doesn't. Showing concern for her weight gain is no reason to be hated.
