Do I scare people?
- 2 July 2011 00:23112840Just lately I have often wondered, do I scare people?
I do loads of charity events, beer festivals and other things.
before the event I often ask forumites to say hello.
NO ONE ever does apart from Mark at the beer fest.
I know from postings that forumites have attended and they know I am there, so why do they never say hello.
Very bewildered.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 2 July 2011 00:32112842I do
- 2 July 2011 00:49112843Probably, Ian, as an extravert, you seek contact with others while sipping a pint at a beer festival, while the others first sought contact with the pint, and then another, and another, before staggering away claiming the world IS round, as they can see it rotating around them.
They do say Columbus discovered the world is round after leaving an Irish pub, and that instead of sailing back to Spain, he sped off in the wrong direction and hit America!
Some claimed it was the pixies, but then pixies have always been the Irish excuse when rolling homeChanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

Alex........pixies really do p111s me off, they get you into trouble then bugger off.
Don't blame the Irish for it or you WILL be banned.
The Boss has the last word and he runs the forum.

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 2 July 2011 06:25112852You must be talking about Forumites that you don't yet know Ian - Jean and I always make a point of coming to say hello.
By the way, I agree with you about Pixies !!
Roger - 2 July 2011 08:36112865YES!!!!!
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 2 July 2011 09:03112867do you still have that shotgun ian?
i get stopped by non members who have seen my mug shot on here.
usually it is to complain about something i have posted though. - 2 July 2011 09:22112872It's always nice to see the people I already know Roger.
The people I don't know but have posted they attended an event, are they shy.
you had to mention the shot gun Howard.
Marek, you and I must have a chat when you come over.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - Jan Higgins

2 July 2011 14:10112893Ian, I do not know you so unless I knew exactly where you were or was 100% sure of your handsome face I could pass by without saying hello.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

2 July 2011 14:21112895I think I would recognise Ian but not 100% sure I would hate to make a fool of myself infront of a complete stranger, having said that................. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am with you, Jan!!!!!! - 2 July 2011 16:59112918All you have to do is ask ladies.
I always greet a lady on the first meeting with a kiss on the hand, the second meeting is anyone's guess, it depends on how the first meeting went.
Don't worry, the blokes always get a good firm hand shake.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 2 July 2011 18:33112931I must say Ian yours looks are not so good as mine the ladys love me.
bar two and we know who they are. 
- 2 July 2011 18:38112935Ian - I will see your scariness and raise you. You have (yet) to see me first thing before the slap goes on - now that really is, genuinely, scary (ask the Old Man)!
Bad enough once the polyfilla is in place! I will say Hi next time I see you.

2 July 2011 19:08112963One advantage of old age I do not bother with slap anymore, , so unlike when I was young and would not answer the door without having the warpaint on.

Mind you I wan't too keen on him kissing my hand when we first met.Marek
