Re: Chatting

I don't know interesting is the word, I would use, he is so highly unpleasant. I have met quite a number of well known people whom I would describe as interesting though, and most of them were pleasant with it.

Re: Chatting

Many thanks for your comments folks. Perhaps a compliment wasn't the correct word; I don't interupt people, or rabbit on endlessly, I listen to them, and show my interest to everyone. Even so, if someone else is making a point a respondent will nearly always include me in their eye contact for a comparitively long period. I don't have favourites, I share my eye contact with every one. Which is what I was commenting on regards chat shows. I quite like Graham Norton's chat show but he does have his favourites, chatting and replying to the same person.

Re: Chatting

Bit difficult on here U J to get eye contact, too many of them! maybe, but wish there were many more chatting

Re: Chatting

Graham - where you live sounds so wonderful....
Have you travelled much....

Re: Chatting

My wife goes to the local village hall on a Saturday afternoon, there are aboyt half a dozen ladies there, bit of knitting , sewing etc. two Ladies talk virtually non stop, neither listening to what the other one has said, nor to what any one else says, if they get the chance.
Listening is a great thing to do , you can learn so much about people and their lives, but there is a point when they should shut up.

Re: Chatting

Ha-ha.... So right Graham

Re: Chatting

Pat, not traveled much in Norway since we came to live here, it is so beautiful where we live that we never want or need to go anywhere else. That's probably wrong, as there is so much beauty here, there is a different view every time you turn a corner
Here you are spoilt for choice on beauty spots, and never many people .Even the most popular spots, you can sometimes be the only people there.
We have to pinch ourselves sometimes to believe that we are here, in a spot that would sell for couple of million pounds in the U k, also with enough room and planning permission to build another house right up by the weaterfall and mountain river not that we want to, we are just so happy to be here, even though the winter does go on for a long time..

Re: Chatting

I thought that would be your answer Graham, once you have found Heaven, why bother.. Did you holiday there and decide to settle... you made a wise choice, in recent years I've longed to go there... would suit me perfectly.... ah well...

yes pat we came on holiday here for 30 years before finally settling here, so we did know what we were coming to and knew most of the systems etc. Would you believe i still dont speak Norwegian, Idle Man! my wife speaks it fluently , so i have been lazy.I do manage to communicate to a certain extent, but my neighbour speaks no English, so there are is a lot of hand waving between us. He is 69 so we are of the same era.

Re: Chatting

Ha! Ha!....sounds like me. Think I am like this is these situations because OH is the direct opposite and can easily go all day without saying anything.
