They'd be speechless. How many people do you know that talk with their hands. Signers excluded before you try to get all smartarseish.

These people are a danger. Politicians do it alot only theirs is scripted so to speak. I met one today and on a couple of occasions i thought she was getting aggressive with me.

Body language eh!

Try and watch some commercial radio presenters in action. It's fucking hilarious.

The head twitches wildly as though they have very bad tourettes, the shoulders are up and down like pistons and one hand is nervously held on or next to the fader waiting to cue the next song. All part of "sounding natural". Yeaaaah right.

MIss H, you'd HATE me when I talk. Not only do I wave my hands about constantly, I take 3 steps forward and 3 steps back at the same time. I can't talk with my hands still!

Sounding like a cuckoo clock on speed!

I too get a little animated, I've learnt to hold my hands together to save looking like a total spazz.

But I really do hate getting into a conversation with a monotonous droid. Nothing wrong with a bit of movement to aide communication.

What do you usually do to break the ice with someone, Rod?

My personal favourite is chasing them with a big, yellowy-green bogie which has been freshly scooped out of my nose.

Funny you mention that, was having a similar discussion last night. I prefer asking for a glass of ice at the bar, chucking it on the floor, jumping up and down on the floor, and then saying to the chosen victim, "now i've broken the ice, can I buy you a drink?"

(No I've never done that....)

Has anyone suggested that your chosen method may not result in you finding your ideal girl? Unless of course the mucus fetish is widespread.

I'm sure there are better aspects of your personality you could tempt them with. :roll:

Did it hurt, ( did what hurt ), when you fell out of heaven

and the worse one of all time;

when their say: "anything you do say will be taking down"
