Silence

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Disco_kegs, Mar 26, 2013.

  1. Spent a bit of time with people who I don't know very well this week and i've noticed that there are a couple of them who are not comfortable in silence and will fill the void if no one else does. We had a lengthy discussion and laugh about it today then when it all settled down had a peaceful few minutes where no one said anything, until someone couldn't stand it any longer. ;)

    I'm quite happy sitting with people and not saying a lot if i don't feel the need to.

    Are you comfortable in silence?

    It's nice to sit quietly with people you get on with. Not so easy when you don't know them as well though.

  5. The chance of silence in our house is minimal.

    you've got more chance of peeing in the wind and not getting wet than silence in our house, Ellie talks for England, Ireland & Scotland its not stop :confused:

    Bring on some sun, so I can get some quiet time. :)

    When i'm away in my bus it's to get away from my mundane normal life, I don't wanna hear about peoples work, how much they do or don't earn, their nice house ect, some people like to hear themselves, just turn up have a drink and enjoy and let me do the same, simples :)
