Category: Let's talk
If I'm ever hyper I do something constructive to deal with the feeling..I.E Exercise.in the form of swimming or basketball walking for bloody miles and if the weather permits hiking or something like it.
I also look at the reasons for it I.E what I've been eating drinking or the stress in my life that prevents me from relaxing which in turn leads to a build up of adrenalin...the last thing I'd do is sit in front of a pc to relieve it there are far better ways to work off excess energy and switch off our minds..
<P>I think, when I'm hyper, I drive people crazy. It's a good thing you don't drive anyone crazy, LOL!
LOL I drive everyone crazy they have the wrinkles to prove it
Well, when I'm highper I usually listen to soft music, and tell my self over and over again I need to calm down. Some times you can convince your self to slow down a bit.
Yes it can be very amusing and good on a boring wet sunday when your all cooped up in a flat and its chucking down with torrential rain...do you recall that famous snow scene in The Shinging when Jack Nicholson finally goes mental well that's the effect being with me in those conditions has on my long suffering brother!. grin.
Goblin, please stop making references to me venting my hyperness on a PC, because when I'm hyper, I go out and do stuff, I don't sit in front of a PC. Just because I have lots of energy doesn't mean I go and post a lot. I post a lot 'cause it's fun. So please don't elude to me like that. If you want to say sojemthing about me, please just come out and say it. Thank you!
Caitlin
Sorry if that came out sounding kind of rude, I didn't mean it to. I'm trying to be mature about this, but Goblin, please, I'm sorry if I upset you. just please stop going on about this! Please!?
Caitlin
Hmm Goblin you're really charging up the weapons of post-destruction aren't you? Rather thinly veiled reference to our caitlyn there mon fils. If this carries on the way it's going we're going to have to deploy the black Watch to protect Caitlyn from this onslaught!
Oops sorry about that. i promise I shall not mention them again......well not very often.
Goblin, U need to leave caitlin alone! Shes a very nice, kind, special, unique person!!! she doesn't need some dumbass like you bringing her down!!!! If you can't post anything nice and worth people's time then, why in the hell do you even post? We don't have time to look at your rediculous topics. If you can't post topics that will be rellevent to issues dealling w/visual impairments/blindness, then you shouldn't be waisting everyones time on the ZOC. Just my thoughts on the hole issue. If you have something to say, please send it via PM not on the PZF (Public Zone Form)
Wo hang on, we c can't just confine these boards to blindness issues, that would make the zone very dull indeed. Long live diversity!
Lol LL, well, I think she just meant any good issues period, but yeah you're right. I thought it was just a blindie site at first too, so no harm done. Thank you Kristabell, I really do appreciate it, sorry if I got your name wrong. And thanks LL lol, your black watch thing made me laugh lol. Anyway take care all, cheers.
Caitlin
I looooove being hpa though it's fun. It's pretty cool cos I don't drink, yet I can become drunk anyway Lol .. just on Cokeacola! but more often than not, I can just get in these random outbursts of hypaness! and I can get very loud!
Caitlin & LL.
It was nothing of the sort I was attempting to demonstrate other more useful ways of using up excess energy and you reacted exactly as I expected..
That's good to hear Goblin old lad, that's good to hear. At least we didn't disappoint you.
you never do old boy so how was crimbo in Essex
Bloody marvellous. No essex girls though.
Nope certainly don't. Do you guys know what Essex girls are?
Essex girls are probably girls... from essex. Pixy Sticks are sticks with flavered sugar in.
James
I bet those Pixie sticks make you hyper! i've never had one but heard of them. And Goblin I am sorry for jumping to conclusions, I truly thought that's what you meant, and I was just kind of hurt by it. Lol. My apologies.
Caitlin
Essex girls have a particular reputation James, which makes them different from, say, girls from Kent, or Surrey, or Sussex or Hampshire. Essex has a reputation for loose women since the sitcom, 'Birds of a Feather' which featured two stereotypical Essex Girls called Sharon and Tracy. It was bloody hilarious!
Shame about Birds of a Feather going because Pauline Quirk who played Sharon hasn't really managed to make a good job of any acting role since in my opinion.
How did we get talking about Essex, I don't even know what that is?
Caitlin
It's a county in South-East England with the reputation described above.
and do they make you hypa?
Essex girls? Well I've only ever known a couple quite well, and they don't really live up to the stereotype. sTill fun to make jokes about it though.
I must say GD that if Essex girls make you Hyper, that's surprising.
hi. As viewing this topic the little person is not back and ready to make a reasonable point as to where does this post come to be. Why don't you let caitling alone! and please stop being so freakin annoying.
I read that post, then reread it, and reread it again, and finally I think I'm clear on what you mean. It's quite all right, we're all going to fall on him and give him a good kicking.
You guys ... you guys ... lol lol lol ... okay sorry. Um, okay then, LL, I guess I get what you mean, though I've never eard of Essex before? Oh whatever, whatever floats yoru boat! hehehe just kidding. Anyway hope you all had a Happy New Year! Best! ...
Caitlin
Now then, something that gets to me on occasions: why do people (you all know who you are and if you are guilty of the indiscretion I am about to mention) end sentences that are not questions with a question mark? An example would be: I've never heard of essex before? Instead of: I've never heard of Essex before. It really isn't the sort of grammar that should be encouraged mi' old chinas.
LL that's because she cant act in every role she is basically playing herself an overweight Essex girl...
............................................................
Glad you enjoyed the yuletide pal do you recall any of it...I remember bits and they are none to pretty...Er indoors and our friend Dan from Belfast were given a strange reception in Failte today so who knows what went on.....I'm not sure I want to know.
Little person ohhh I like it! Just the sound of it makes me feel young again and full of vital mischievous energy.cheers Lou.
Yeah you've got Pauline Quirk about right there, since playing Sharon in Birds of a Feather the only thing I remember her in was a pathetic attempt made by the BBC to recreate Jack frost in that excellent police series 'A touch of Frost' where Detective Inspector Frost is played by David Jason. anyway Paulin Quirk was Masy Rain in this series and I think that the most exciting thing she got involved with was an illegal shipment of dodgy bacon! Appropriate considering the actress. Anyway, she was very unconvincing as the policewoman in that and I know she's done some other stuff since but unless she reinvents herself like Babs Windsor has attempted to do after playing Peggie Mitchel for years, all she'll be good for is pantomime, he is behind you and all that.
I quite agree and it was pathetic watching her trying to excel in the dumbed down role of Masy Rain she couldnt hope to compete with David Jason and the late John Thaw they raised crime drama to another level.
Have you ever seen Taggart filmed in Glasgow its a gritty and believable crime drama the current star Alex Norton is excellent.
Well how can you both have missed 'North and South' shown recently on BBC1? That had Pauline Quirke in it playing the servant lady from below stairs and it was not a bad performance though I say it myself. Also remember her in a creepy murder mystery thingy by...Ruth Rendell perhaps? Was it the Ice House or something like that, she was actually quite good. Frey.
What ... are ... you ... lot ... on ... about? Hehehe just joking. Anyway back to hyperness. It's the morning right now and I'm hyper, and energetic! Woohoo! I have to go to school son, and I'm sure my eager hyperossity will die soon. Let's hope not!
Caitlin
Ah yes quite right, Freya, she was good in both of those. And North and South was a period drama, that the BBC do best. So I take back everything I said about her being unable to shake off the role of sharon.
If only the beeb had Tom Brown's Schooldays they wouldn't have trashed it like ITV did.
Good grief LL, and now will you take back everything you've ever said about our wonderful new Labour government eh?! Joking of course...I videod Tom's Schooldays, take it it's not worth watching then? Saw the Murder Room instead, that was good...Frey.
Wishful Thinking I'm afraid Freya, I leave all my statements about the not so wonderful Labour government unrevoked, as you knew I would of course. As for Tom brown's Schooldays, poor old Thomas Hughes would be turning in his grave! ITV have basically taken the title and the characters' names, put steven Fry in the cast for public school authenticity, and rewritten almost the entire book! There was no pregnancy in the Tom Brown's Schooldays I read, for example. It probably isn't worth watching in my view. Now Uncle Adolf, that was much much better. A very convincing chap playing Hitler, and good portrayals of eva Braun and Hitler's niece. If you've videoed that I'd watchc it.
LL you are sucha hypocrit 1st you condemn the woman then your extoling her "talent" which I may say is extremely limited watch TAGGART! And enjoy an exciting well made Scottish drama.
Butt out Gobby, just because someone happens to agree with me doesn't make them a hypocrite does it? And we don't watch Taggart because it has Scottish people in it...
LL I didn't video Hitler but wish I had now, seem to remember there were two other things on that night I wanted to watch aswell but can't remember what now. Frey.
I don't watch Taggot anyway to be honest, Scottish or otherwise. Not at all in the same league as Frost I'm afraid. Now then, Goblin, why do you have such a problem with my agreeing with freya? Iw asn't being hypocritical, merely admitting that I was wrong about Pauline Quirk, and if I remember rightly, you've been praying that I would admit that I was wrong for ages and ages! I can't win, can I? If I don't admit I'm wrong, I'm arrogant, and if I do, I'm hypocritical. I feel like Frost ofetn does actually: I am detective inspector Frost, Goblin is Superintendant Mullet, and Freya is that other one whose name I forget. hazel Wallace I think she is, she's a detective constable anyway and I seem to remember that Frost used to insist on calling her a policeman which used to upset her a bit.
You know LL that no-one is allowed to agree with me over Gobby because I am the 'evil one' according to him...Now I never watch Frost because I am sick of David Jason for one and for another I don't rate it very highly. Nothing can ever come close to Morse for me I'm afraid, just loved that series...Frey.
Morse was superb as well yes, and good old St John's College, Oxford University has figured from time to time on that programme. I saw the episode of 'bottom' about the gas man lst night, had forgotten how funny that was! 'put the kettle on......the floor, because we don't use gas do we because we don't know what it is' and all that.
Morse was brilliant and I just loved John Thaw, such a shame he's not around any more...Haven't seen Bottom for ages, so can't really remember any of it, did enjoy it at the time though...
Absolutely! classic lines such as 'if you don't use gas, how do you keep it warm in here? Well, er, we make love. Not together! On our own.' wwill live forever.
I"m totally lost. This topic has strayed form hyperness. Jk. I don't care that it's strayed. Strayign topics are fun! Heh. Just thought IO'd let you all know that your'e heartily confusing me. Hehehehe!
Caitlin
You should watch 'Bottom' and then it would all be clear.
I highly doubt that. It sounds somewhat visual. Tell mei f I'm wrong.
Caitlin
if it were somewhat visual then I wouldn't enjoy it now would I? Being the blundering blind fool that I am.
I suppose not. I dunno. So you really think that would clear things up? How odd.
Caitlin
I depends what you want clearing up, n'est-ce pas? It would explain to you the references to the gas man, the 'put the kettle on the floor' quotation, and the like. It's a cracking series as well, very politically incorrect let's put it that way, very laddish.
Okay. I'm now less confused in the children topic, but more confused in this one. Hehehe. I need to reread it, though I don't suppose that'll do me much good. Ah well...
Caitlin
It'll do you the power of good young lass. Full of Lawlordian pearls of wisdom and foolishness.
Mullet LOL! Taggart was excellent last week with more red herrings than Peterhead fish market but the blood n gore has been lacking of late, also it used to be much more violent and reflect real life in Glasgow, still that's progress I suppose
Kavanagh QC was the business as far as drama goes as well. i'd agree with freya that they shall never replace the late John Thaw.
Hmmmm glad to hear it LL, we are completely agreed on that one then! Frey.
the trap that ITV have fallen into is producing utter drivel that they call 'reality TV'. Hardly a day goes by where we don't see 'Britain's worst tourists' 'Animals do the funniest things' or other ridiculous nonsense such as 'estate agents from hell and it'll be all right on the night version 538 or whatever it is we're up to by now. why can't they do what they did when I was about seventeen and make quality drama like Peak Practice and Kavanagh or something similar to Kavanagh? They've lost the plot and the BBC are going the same way with their changing rooms and ground force nonsense. And can someone explain to me the difference between Bargain Hunt and Flog it?
don't worry Caitlin, after reading all of that I am somewhat confused myself! lol
I"m totally confuzzled now. Oh well, blah to it. Hehehehe. Yay Rachel. We can be confused together! hehehe xoxoxox!
Caitlin
And LL, pearls of wisdom? Moi? Pourquoi? Lol.
Caitlin
P.S. How do you say "lol" in french?
there is no word for lol in french as it is not even english, or any language really save MSN or text messaging speak. anyway, for the confused amongst you, this topic has moved on somewhat to discussing programming on UK terestrial television. Hence the references to Kavanagh QC, Inspector Morse, a Touch of Frost, Birds of a Feather, Bottom, and I suppose one could toss into the mix Casualty and Holby City as well as Heartbeat, The Royal etc. Now speaking of Heartbeat, I always thought it was a great shame that Bill Maynard died, because he used to be superb as Claude Greengrass, the smalltime crook who wasn't really taht intelligent, in Heartbeat. They'd never make something like Heartbeat in america, a police drama set in a 1960's Yorkshire village.
Never liked Heartbeat meself, give me Archie on Monarch of the Glen anytime though...Frey.
Why have I not seen "Ello, Ello" mentioned yet, a superb British comedy about World War 1 soldiers, it is ball bouncingly funny .
I'm afraid old lad that Allo Allo was not about that at all. It was a British comedy yes, but about a french cafe owner in occupied France during the second world war. It was really we British taking the piss out of French and German stereotypes. There was a gay leutennant, Lieutennant Gruber I belive his name was, and of course Herr Flick of the gestapo who was kept in line by Helga, his good lady. Meanwhile the cafe owner was a rather incompetent hero of the resistance but who also entertained the Germans in the cafe. The plot seemed to centre around paintings which the cafe owner and a German colonel intended to sell after the war. The paintings were kept in German sausages at one point I remember, so as to fool Herr Flick. And one cannot forget officer Crabtree, the British spy parachuted into France disguised as a French policeman, but handicapped somewhat by his terrible French pronunciation. I remember in one episode he proclaimed that 'We should be grateful that the RAF bummers are still farting for freedom'.
Yes, Crabtree was hillarious. I was, rather stupidly, confusing this with the 4th season of Black Adder, I saw all these comedies on tv 10 years ago when my understanding of the English language was extremely limited and so I only remember these things being extremely funny but not the details of them. :)
But we're certainly referring to the same episodes, thank for the correctin. :)
cheers

One foot in the grave, that was another fantastic sitcom. Victor Meldrew wil live forever, and the best thing about him is that there's a Victor Meldrew in all of us.
I don't believe it LL! Sorry couldn't resist...
