    Men talk as much as women

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6269204.stm

    "The problem is not how much people talk or don't talk, the problem is how well people listen.

    "If women listened more we might find men talked more than we thought, and if men listened they might find that women actually don't talk a lot of rubbish all the time. Some of what we say is actually valuable."
    Did anyone catch that? I know she said something, but I wasn't really paying attention....

    Study finds that women don't talk more than men. They just whine, complain, and nag incessantly making it seem like they never shut up

    Did someone say something?

    I'll actually agree with that... although its well known that I talk A LOT, i'm also really bad at listening... mainly I think because of my goldfish attention span.

    My theory is that although women are more than capable of meaningful contributions, and are as often as not insightful and intelligent, it's as often as not burried under an avalanche of twoddle....resulting in the mating call of the less known spotted dolly bird "You never listen to me!!!"...

    We can't win.

    and to paraphrase Richard Hammond
    "its been 27 minutes and not a fact, nor a piece of useful information has been exchanged"

    We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    The vast amount of conversations I have tend to go

    "Alright?"
    "Pub in 5?"
    "See you then"

    Done. <Ramsay />

    Sounds like most of my conversations tbh.

    the only meaningful and informational conversations I have are usually less than 30secs long.

    Lunch? Yeah,
    Jades? Yeah.
