DUNKS Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 How do I nominate a person? We have a woman who lives in a house at the bottom of our garden. Now the nice weather is here she and friends are out inn their garden. Just sitting AND SHE TALKS, I mean talks. I have been spending time in my little workshop at the bottom of my garden so I can hear her. Cant quite hear what she is saying but I can hear the drone of her voice. Got up yesterday 7.30 straight to my workshop to check on a bit of gluing I did the day before. She is in full swing. Long story short she was still at it 9.30 last night. She never stops to draw breath! Today again she's in full swing, Really should be nominated. How does she do it? What is it she's talking about. I do occasionally hear another voice but not for long. Thinking of taking round some throat lozenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 In the early days of mobile phones when they were more the preserve of business (and both phones and calls were not cheap) - I got into the train at Paddington to travel back across the Cotswolds via Oxford after a day working in London. A lady sat down opposite me and got out her phone - and was loudly on the phone almost to Oxford - when the phone battery expired. I thought I was then in for some peace - but no - she rummaged in her bag and got out a new battery (phones then had interchgangeable batteries) ........ and on went with more calls. Fortunately, as you get west of Oxford, the signal gets poor ........ and she gave up after a great many loud "Hello, Hello - you still there" type exclamations. Had it been a high powered business conversation, I might have been less annoyed - but it was trivia, chat, and latest bargains in Tesco's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 My dear old Mam and her best friend, my Godmother, would talk for hours on the phone, and then declare that they were going to meet up for a ‘ proper chat’! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 And when you ask about what they're talking about ... the inevitable .... 'nothing much!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I went out with a girl who never stopped talking. You could not get a word in. I soon got rid of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Guy at work like that. Tbf it's not entirely his fault, he works alone a lot, but at lunch he doesn't shut up. I was half way through my sarnie, and he's asking me opinions and questions, literally my face is full and he's staring at me waiting for my answer. Calmly and patiently I chew and swallow, look him dead in the eye and tell him '**** off I'm eating' 😂 He wasn't even offended, he just turned to someone else and carried on with them 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more ‘experts ‘ on this forum than I have ever encountered in my life. What is even more amazing is that some of them have expertise in several subjects.
