mannerisms

just a quick one, how many of you good people on here can have a conversation without using your hands, watched a programme tonight, two men talking, their antics with their hands could have lifted off a jumbo jet, I thought how many of my good friends on here can talk with their hands in their pockets, my grandmother once told me a long time ago, when people talk to you watch their eyes, they tell the truth.

If there is no eye contact when someone is telling you something.Then they may be lying!Eyes are the windows to the soul.Or so they say!

Your Grandmother was spot on there Aitch!

Your grandmother was right aitch, if a person is telling fib's they tend to rub or scratch their head or nose or cant look you in the face, that's what my boss say's I do if I've been asleep in a laybye a bit too long and tell him I'm somewhere else

A lot of what I know my grandmother taught me and she would always look you in the eye.

are you telling me that you used to swing the lead and put your head down in lay-byes, if so how did you fiddle the tachographs

Why do women always wag their finger at
their husbands in Morrisons? iv'e seen them do it, and he stands there like little lad who's been told off by his mam.

xrh, men love to be bossed around.

My wife only did that once to me so I started sucking it, she never did it again (only joking)

The tachograph is easy to fiddle aitch, I used to run up from London on the "hotwire" quite often when I was supposed to be having my 9 hours time off.
This new fandangled digital tachograph is another story, no fiddling that bugger

My grandma used to say dont take any notice of what they say,take notice of what they do.

Disco do you do bossing, are are you only surmising, or are you taking bookings

AITCH:

"my grandmother once told me a long time ago, when people talk to you watch their eyes, they tell the truth".

I was interviewing Ray Charles about 40 years ago - and someone had said that to me - so I fixed my eyes on his - but did I learn anything - naw - I came away scratching mi head.

Disco, can i book for a one hour session
on Friday,and could you wear wellies please.

XR:

Ask Diva if a bring mi own wellies can I get discount?

xrh there you go again with your wellie obsession

Men - they are such weird creatures

I can have a conversation with my arms tied behind my back and with a gobful of marbles.

Disco - r u selling tickets?

OZZY & SYD:

Yo forgot to mention
"An stood up in a 20ft deep pool of water - wi mi 2 feet in concrete blocks"

As for me wellies - they are like "Andy's cap" it would require surgery to remove them.

i never trust a guy who can peel grapes through a tennis racket, or an orange come to that.
i never take on board insults thrown my way from guys thousands of miles from these shores.they are chicken hearted no-marks. i have no time to scratch with chickens, i soar with the eagles.
anyone joining me for a jim beam??

While I find no difficulty speaking to people without using my hands,except of course when I need to be demonstrative,ie give directions,I'm a little bit at odds with looking people in the eye because many years ago I trained as an insurance salesman and that was high on the list of selling tools;need I say more?
Billy who are these unkind persons hurling insults at you from thousands of miles,even more in kilometres,surely you not inferring that it is my fellow ex-pats and myself,perish the thought!!!
By the way Billy,how's your paper selling on Blackpool promenade these days?

In answer to the request, i will wear my wellies.Theres some right kinky ones on ere.Dont sell tickets ozzielass.I just do private bookings.

Are you ignoring me Billy,or have you not round to answering me as yet?

insurance agent roy???
well now, that says it all for me.
your full of blather mate, and no substance.a con man stalking the unwary, and always ready to sell tin £1 pieces. reading the aussie papers this morn...strange how they tonked the poms for their cricketing displays, and yet remain full of excuses for their own abysmal performances against new-zealand

salesman???i bet youve sold some crud at premium prizes roy boy .

Now who is hurling insults? If you must know I was a failure as an insurance salesman but it was very valuable experience despite the fact that it sent me broke. In all my years as a salesman I could never bring myself to deliberately mislead people and that is probably why I failed initially. For a long time my honesty and integrity served me well,so much so the my customers followed me to the various companies I worked for,but in the end it was my undoing because the last company I worked for were all for using much younger staff because they were easier to mould to their way of doing business and as they done had with others in my age group,found the excuse to dispense with my services.
As for the cricket,what can I say? while Australia has produced some fine players and had a very good run,they are finding it difficult to believe that they are not invincible but what is the saying,pride comes before a fall. By the way did you attend the civic reception for the England team?

stayed home with my jim beam, and a paint brush. seems the english rugby team(national side)are going the same way as the cricketers...down hill????maybe its all this P C crap thats being inforced on schools?who knows, their latest b******t is for studs to be removed from football boots???might do some damage to another persons person???

for AUSSIEROY:

Taking your eye off the ball (finances)?
Slow to learn?

Painful?
You should have stopped banging your head against the proverbial "brick wall" or, maybe ya wuz wearing a crash helmet whenever ya went out selling.

jacko,s my shipmate, so watch it roy.

Jacko,initially I was brim full of confidence and enthusiasm,and the two weeks of intensive training,indoctrination was nearer the mark,kept me going for a few weeks but selling an intangible product on a commission only basis lost its gloss when expenses were greater than earnings.I was probably my own worst enemy in so much that I would tell myself things would get better when all the time I was draining my modest savings.
I was tempted to declare bankruptcy but my pride would not allow me to do that so I struggled on though with having a large family to support it took a long time to get back into the black and ironically it was retail selling that enabled me to achieve that.

you obviously made the right choices eventualy roy!!!ya finished up in the big country with the waltzing matildas??and wailing wallabies.
