    How Fascinating!!

    Does it have to be fascinating or can it be about something that maybe was not so fascinating?

    If they were already greeted with little enthusiasm the first time, why would you bother telling them again?

    Your friend was right!

    I used to have the same problem swapping fancy paper...till it all turned ugly one day and was never talked about again.

    Fascinating....

    I was working as a janitor in a very prestigious IT some years ago when one day I came across a notice board with an equation on it. Apparently most students in the IT were not expected to ever work out this equation never mind do it within the College term. So there and then I worked it out and left the answer on the board for the professor to see the next morning.

    Roll on a few days they realised my genius and encouraged me to see a counsellor to help turn my life around.

    Oh the best part of my story - During this time myself and me mate Ben were in a bar one night where I met this girl with a big nose, I got her number;)

    You wanted a fascinating story... Dya like apples?


    How dya like them apples?

    Sure is although maybe one little bit of misleading info - my mate Ben (Affleck) - his name was'nt Ben in the film!

    Surprised you realised straight off that this was a film and not in fact my own personal fond memory.

    Now this is the story all about how
    My life got flipped, turned upside down
    And Id like to take a minute just sit right there
    Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

    In west philadelfia born and raised
    On the playground where I spent most of my days
    Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
    And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys said were up in no good
    Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

    I begged and pleaded with her the other day
    But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
    She gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket
    I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

    First class, yo this is bad,
    Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
    Is this what the people of bel-air livin like,
    Hmm this might be alright!

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
    Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
    If anything I could say that this cab was rare
    But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

    I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
    And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
    Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
    To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air

    Like there last weekend, one of my dads friends walked into the pub with a big grey timberland hoody on with the hood up and hiding his face..
    And then he shouted 'I dont want any hassle lads, just a drink, can I get one?'
    For about five seconds we thought it was Larry Murphy..
    Ha ha..

    But even funnier than that, Larry Murphys cousin works behind the bar!!!
    She laughed though..:)

    Not so much about me but about others who go away for a year to Australia and come back talking constantly about it. Listen buddy, I've heard these stories from every other fcuker who has gone there and I really couldn't give a fiddlers fcuk about you so stop fcuking telling me about it. I'm not interested and your stories are ****e!!!!

    When I was about eight years old I saw an episode of Ripleys Believe It Or Not that said the Sun was going to destroy the Earth in approximately eight billion years time. The next day in school I told the teacher and she said "we won't worry about that because we won't be here to see it". Everyone in the class thought this was hilarious and laughed at me. Her stupid response was greeted with more enthusiasm than my Sun destroying Earth information.

    In case anyone thinks this isn't a personal story, you're wrong. I live on the Earth so the Sun destroying it does affect me personally.
