Lady in film: "... you look like a black hole."
Me: A black foal?
P: No, a black hole.
Me: A black VOLE? That's a bit weird.
P: (shouting) NO. A BLACK HOLE.
Me: Oh. A black HOLE. I see.
P: Spaz.
Me: Yes.

Do you also fidget? And say 'what did he say?'
And then say 'what did she say whilst I was asking you what he said?'
I am not the ideal cinema-going companion.
Please turn the wordveri off. I'm no good at it, and no-one gets enough spam to really need it.
I fear monkeydada's problem is heriditary: the wilfull miss-hearing of words for comedy effect, although it is possible he claims this to avoid admitting advancing aural deficiency. What's your excuse?
And if you can find out how to turn that wordveristupid thing off, oh yes, please do - ta TD. uknap? If only I could. Mosquito bites woke me up and now can't sleep.
You won't believe this one: mmamz. Was it made specially for me, do you think, to persuade me that it's a good idea?
Revelations about Black Holes then.
TD - I sit silently in front of films, speaking only to provide a beginning-to-end commentary via gasps, 'oohs', shouts of 'no no don't do that he'll get you' and 'I can't watch, it's too embarrassing'. Everyone loves it.
MM - what was that thing about the washing?
FF - I love you , but I do not understand your comment. That wasn't the film, if that's what you're gettin' at.
I abandoned word verification as I couldn't be arsed to use it when writing on my own blog comments. But 170 spam comments in 2 days (I've not had 170 real comments in the last 9 months) changed my mind and now everything comes to me for moderation instead.
How does one manage with wv if one suffers from dyslexia, I wonder.
Wait 'til your FIL does that, with the volume on the TV up high enough for the people two doors away to know yoiur watching Spooks, and the dog is sitting with his paws over his bleeding ears.
I once did something similar in a bakers' shop at lunchtime.
Me - A sausage roll please
Shop assistant - Hot?
Me - A sauage roll please
Shop assistant Yes, hot?
Me - A sausage roll, sometime this week please?
Shop assistant - No need for a sarcasm you cheeky cow, DO YOU WANT IT HOT!!!
Me, very quitely over the queue's sniggers - Yes, that would lovely, than you
Muse on it a while
No. I'm fucked. Can't work it out. Can't do crosswords either, except quick ones. ("Three down. Three letters. Canine." That sort of thing.)
I just want to say that I am very much pro-word verification as I might never have got to draw monkeys with fezzes for this here blog had I not first been seduced into leaving a comment purely on the grounds that the wv was "ofroboo".
Dave Shelton, Oh Dave Shelton, Dave Sheltoooooooonnnnn....
Monkeydada asked "Where are you going?", although fairly obvious, as I did have a full washing basket in my hands at the time. I replied: "To hang out the washing." He asked "What mushrooms?"
Sorry - I believe a recent disc by young persons beat combo, Muse, is called Black Holes and Revelations.
'young persons'. Me = not young person. Does that explain it? Sigh.
MM - joy of joys, thank you for mushroom story. Had forgotten it.
