Morning posters from lovely England.

Ironically, after a mainly dry few weeks in the South, they think the showers may hit us on Friday for tha Royal Wedding.

Someone talking to you when you are trying to concentrate on something.

This doesn't bother me unless they want a response. I have the gift that God has given most males, selective hearing. If I'm busy they can talk away. I don't hear them.

That's why I'd rather work alone.

Some co-workers just talk all day long. By the end of the week I get pretty irritable.

That is why God made pets without the ability to speak.
If they could talk, we would love and enjoy them less.

Yep, they de-rail your train of thought and walk away still talking so you have to follow them into another room. Grrrrrrr!

I'll get a little annoyed, at the most, if you talk to me while I'm on a possible record-breaking round of Mahjongg.

Oh I hate when that happens! Or they get defensive about something in a conversation and just wont shut up so you cant answer a queston or say something....
Ive actually had that happen and since the person wouldnt shut up so I can say something, I just put the phone down for a couple of minutes and came back...they were still rattling on and on!

This is absolutely unnerving to me.

.............and everyone in my family does this to me!!! It's like they think what ever I'm doing, can't be important.
