Yer man actually remarked that I was the most interesting person he ever spoke to, because I had been to California (well just Barstow), New York, Paris (suburbs) and er . . Dublin.

Sheltered life those Canucks live:P

Not quite, had to meet my cousin who lives in San Diego so drive down I-15 to meet him halfway. That's a kind of a boring story too, all I've seen of California is a shopping centre car park.

especially people who only want to talk about themselves, and can't get a word in!!

Based purely on your taste in music I'm gonna have to say you. Sorry, thought you were cool once

At least you can't question my judgment on canine superheroes.

My brother's friends are a painfully boring group of people. They are an incredibly unambitious group of men with no desire to challenge themselves or engage in any sort of self-improvement. As a result they find themselves hanging around a small town in East Galway like some tragically real version of the Hardy Bucks.

Their lives seem to revolve around watching South Park and smoking cannabis. The worst of them is actively involved in the cannabis legalisation movement. Always there with some reference from some dubious journal with no peer review. As I said to my brother, if he spent as much time doing an online training course as he does trying to justify his drug addiction then he might not be unemployed.

Thankfully my brother seems to have distanced himself somewhat from this group. It can only be a good thing.

The gift that keeps on giving.

Seriously though, a lot of my most favourite people are Canadians, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, Kevin Costner, The Littlest Hobo, you got a lot going on up there.:)

When I'm not feeling well and have insomnia, I always end up watching Canadian science fiction films on SyFy at 4am. Last night/this morning, I watched Stonado, about tornados that flung out big exploding rocks (not stones) onto Boston. (Most of the actors were Canadian.)

Ah there's more to me than that man

I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert's bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

Here's my attempt TBM to win The Most Boring Person you ever met award.

I'm going to assume you know that song through Johnny Cash? I was watching some obscure music program some years ago, and this song was being discussed. Initially an Australian song, many versions now exist for different countries around the world.

That's actually pretty interesting, you're going to have to try harder.

I've met quite a few terrible bores in my time, probably nice enough people but just start snoozing as soon as they start speaking.

The absolute worst was a fella I met in a bar one night from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan (just spelt that without google, go me:P), who spent his summer holidays with his Da in Palm Springs California for thirty odd years.

Well, if there's a single bend in that road from Canada to SoCal that I don't know now, it's due to my terrible memory and not to his detailed description of his campervan roadtrips:(

Who's the most boring poor soul you have ever had the misfortune of conversing with?

Backwards man the backwards Man I can walk backwards fast as u can

I was at a 21st party a couple of years ago and was introduced to a fella and his wife that vaguely knew my family. Now the warning signs should have gone off when everyone disappeared and left me on my own with this lad. He proceeded to bore the ear off me about him refinding God, and telling me that the Second Coming of Jesus was imminent. Neither him or his wife cared to take on board my take on religion, but much rathered freaking me out with their nonsense.

Eventually I said I needed to go toilet but snuck out an emergency exit and back into the far side of the bar away from them.

And whats wrong with Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Robbie Robertson, Michael J Fox ?

You might as well have added Justin Bieber to your list to really make it complete.

So are you one of the Bismarcks out of Loughrea ?

Now I am left wondering what these bucks make of you ?
