RE: How to say "No"?

I'm a very polite person too.

Men are not THAT fragile.....and do get the message pretty quick with a "no response". It's the kindest way, rather than lead them up a merry garden path....

oops....hic

RE: Rugby World Cup 2015

Yes, lest we reminded when we were disposed of by the French in the semis some years ago.

I give Ireland an outside chance of making the finals. I wouldn't rule out Australia. They have that "never give up" attitude...a steeliness about them. Always a worry. The French are a dark horse, and as you say perform well in the WC.

Anything could happen. There seems to be a lot of pressure building on our chaps as a dead cert to make the finals. On form, they should, but we know the WC always brings with it surprises in any sporting code.

RE: Talking

toe-to-toe.....

RE: Talking

@ the texting idea.

I'd have to disagree. I think it'd be best if we threw all modern technology out the window and started from scratch.

I'm not big on small-talk. I mean there's only so much we can say about the weather...

I generally "go with the flow"....jump in if I feel I have something to say. Listening is more difficult, because we are all in so much of a hurry to mentally prepare our words of wisdom/wit/humour in response.

....but many a text message I've minsinterpreted because we don't have the visual cues....eg...body language/gestures.

I say, let's get back to basics of communicating, face-to-face.

RE: How to say "No"?

I don't engage in conversation with them at all.

Ignoring them is probably the kindest way to say: "I'm not interested"

RE: What would you give the person above?

A plane ticket to the UK....

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

There are some words we learnt in the playground....

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

...and then she would kill me for suggesting it to you....

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

It's Tru's English slang for a good ol' fashioned bonk...

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

I thought it may inspire you to do some door-knocking yourself...

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

Oh....for some nookie....

I wonder if my neighbour is home?

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

You not getting any either Tru, I take it....

RE: Maybe, He's Just Not That Into You?

Yeah, agree DC....

A little patience required with this, me thinks.

...but if he continues to make a habit of it, then don't put up with it for too long.

...if you're anything like me, I tend to make assumptions.....and they're not always correct

Take care Mimi....

RE: "I have a Dream"

I dream of a miraculous cure for my daughter.

I breathe it every second, of every minute, of every hour, every day.

RE: Free

Really?

Are congratulations in order?

RE: what wouldn't you share

I feel the same way on this.....excepting maybe the tv remote..... ....we'd have to work out some sort of suitable time-share on that....
