| ^ What a fantastic response! It was so great to read it! I appreciate the effort you put into giving such a thoughtful answer to my question! Thanks for saying that. It's no great effort. I just sit here and listen to what my little brain spits out, write it down, edit it a bit, and hit the send bu... |

| Time, season 1 episodes 1 and 2. The BBC one with Stephen Graham in it. Enjoyed it so far. It's about a chap who has to do a sentence in a really nasty prison. Stephen Graham's work always floats my boat. He's just like Craig Charles except for the material which is often a lot darker than Charles' ... |

FUN FACT: Pugwash actually said that in one episode. I've got the sound recording somewhere that proves it. They must have been laughing their balls off when they were making that show. |

| i told my dr how people have thought im autistic and my Dr says I don't seem autistic and he's a Dr so I guess he knows what's he's talking about. Well, you'd hope so, but they're only human. I know somebody who had 2 ASD assessments by 2 different teams, and one said ASD and the other said not ASD... |

| It's just a friendly hailing signal. But it's nice to think that most people who say it actually wish you did have a good morning. It's a bit too stiff for me, and I prefer "hi" or "eyup." I get bored with using the same greeting phrase all the time, so I like to switch them occa... |

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. I asked a Chinese guy at work once if China did socialism, and he laughed. I took that as a "no." |

| I can't fault it. I suppose it's just something I've always more or less done, protecting my own well-being. I'm often fairly quiet about it though. If somebody annoys me like that I'll often just take steps to render the deed impossible in future. Passive-defensive rather than passive-aggressive. |

I don't know how I find things, it feels like I just stumble on them from time to time but I guess there's some intuitive searching going on. I'm a different... |
