We're all angels here tonight.  

Oh Real, really  I think Ash has an appropriate saying to answer you, that is funny, not nasty, and soooo funny,  but I am not going to dare and quote it in case I get it wrong.

Make sure you have the right spanners Blousey... word of advice.  Night.

Real  ok sonny Jim

goodnight Blizzie  sweet dreams

Pam I did take a while looking up Blizzie on FB but i've found her now, she looks like one of the 'Simpsons'

Wow! So it's all true!  

LOL, tho' stifled, and now the dog is woofing in her sleep too

Sounds like a song title... but go to sleep Lowi!

Pam-- get on FB and suffer the real truths Bejeweled etc;

I suffer enough Real. And much I might want to... I Really don't!

Pam yes could be a song.  If I could sleep I wouldn't drink so much

Real, don't,  that bejewelled is evil beyond belief,   Pam don't go looking for it, it will find you

I know where you're coming from... obviously... can't sleep, won't sleep!

But stupidly, knackered the next day to get up, so must be tired really, just have trouble getting to sleep.  Then getting up late, knacks the body clock even further. Silly Low, smack hand time

Get Pam on FB 

Not a chance in hell. Too many demons that might find me.

You can make it friends only, then you only let in who you want

With your fekkin name--- no-one will find you coz they couldn't spell it And on that note-- i am off to bed to dream of winning the lottery--- and rubbing in yer noseys Night me lovelies

goodnight Pam  Real  sweet dreams

It's not just that Lowi... I have other objections to it... how it's now used for HR vetting which will always be there for kids who post their drunken exploits without realising how it may be used in the future... and how the information may be used in any way that may compromise you in the event of being accused of some crime or other.... I haven't done either... but I distrust it with a passion... and also the premise that I think it was established for... but don't ask me here... google.

Oh! On which note this will disappear into the ether! Goodnight my friends.

In RL I could talk for Scotland

Re: Brisket's OP - Peeps with the 'gift of the gab'

I interpret two kinds of gabbers...   one type is the wide boy type that in my younger days I would have thought was the bee knees... your salesman type gab...  cheeky, overly familiar... little bit whoooo, little bit weeeeee.   This type I have well and truely out-grown...  see right through them...  You know the type... the shockingly young estate agent with the ridiculous suit & over styled hair, drenched in aftershave.   They get my back up immediately now.

The other type... I think is more charisma than gift of the gab...  I suppose the type above is trying to emulate this type of charm.  But, its something some people are born with... they seem to give off some sort of likeability pheromone.  Whether or not this means they are to be trusted....  who knows.    I think they can 'get away' with more, and are more easily forgiven, because their company is enjoyable.  But, there are limits... and if a truely dodgy character lurks underneath, then any perceived charisma suddenly turns to wideboyesque patter!

BTW.... the first bloke I ever loved... the father of my daughter... he had it.. the gift..  as he started to embrace the dark side... the charm suddenly seemed like patter to deceive and con.

oops.... didn't know I wittered on that much!

Nuthin wrang wi' a  good blether hen!  Soarts the world right oot  

I've kissed the Blarney Stone so I must have the gift of the gab. I remember being dangled over it when I was a child with my dad holding my ankles, there is a safety rail there now to stop you falling from a great height which I don't remember being there when I was young, I was terrified.

Hahahaha!

I think I do have the gift of the gab due to the fact some of the stuff I come out with makes people I know laugh, unintentionally by the way and some stats or facts about things I say shock people. Must have some special charm.

I really do not have the gift of the gab, i barely speak

Nice post Ditty.
I like how you contrast 2 kinds of gab - the charisma type and the one with an undercurrent. Xochi also indicated it is how the gab is used which makes the difference.

Ditty's right. There are people with an inner "something" (charisma?), but they're outnumbered by self-promoters who are all surface, no depth.
Personally, I can't stand the "centre of attention" type. You know the sort, they have to be the loudest in every room, pride themselves on being the "life and soul" of every event. Mostly they're just pains in the arse.
