You don't strike me as that sort of person at all Pruni,I thought you would have loads of passions.

I can't get people without an opinion and/or a passion.

ooh md did you hear R4 classic serial of germinal? i only heard half of it on sunday and did recognise it but it seemed strangely un-french.

i seem to be mainly interested in food - cooking, growing, eating etc i could talk about plenty of other things (homelessness, diy methods, children) but would probably bore myself.

Yes,I did catch a bit of it and agree!
There is a film too.
Nowt like the book though.

Education, education, education

I could bore for England on this subject , and frequently do

the r4 l'assommoir(sp?) was pretty good i thought, perhaps germi will pick up a bit, not sure how many eps so perhaps the pacing is off.

lots of things

but then i do bore my immediate family to death

oh god i think i'm a bit of a dullarse now

in the past it would have been: running, skiing, independent travel, music, fashion

now i cannot think of anything i could hold fort on except baby stuff, property and MN

methinks should attempt to get a life

i think it is a bit of an age thing too, once you have had the same conversation a few times it is difficult to sustain any mental passion on 'issues' - well for me anyway. i just think o been there can't be bothered let us talk about nice things to eat and drink instead.

I do have many opinions and passions but I don't feel the urge to be quite so outspoken about them as I did when I was younger (and thought I knew everything!!!).

With age, comes a quiet maturity on expressing one's opinion. Perhaps we don't feel the need to be quite so vocal. We'd rather practice more what we used to preach and respect that others may have different views and ideas.

Becoming more poly/kink aware.

other people's business

I love Emile Zola - unfortunately I have never met anyone else who does!

Who or what is Skinner? I could only think of Frank which shows how interesting I'd be at parties.

whereas young folk are all gobshites with little or clue where facts are concerned ?

What am I interested in ?

Developmental Psychology
the NHS (the past, present and the future)
dry, acerbic stand up comedy (ultimate comedy hero ? Bill Hicks)
reading (anything from chewing gum for the brain chicklit to memoirs to medical texts)
good food (both cooking and eating)

Lol @ expat

Skinner was a pyschologist, did lots of experiments with rats (prob his most famous experiment), the pioneer of Operant Conditioning
