Never thought I'd see David eat something I relied upon at 4am after the club back in the 90's.

I'm a little unhappy I have anything in common with him, it cant last. Expect the MJ Oxygen tents in 2019 to keep him all nicely Oxygenated. The fucker.

Please dont choke or anything, or try and live on no income at all you sadistic, fucking bastard.
(I said that out loud didnt I?)

Anyone would think I'd know what it was like living on zero income because of those lying, statistic fiddling cunts. Imagine that next time you argue with me, then back off. Claimant count? Fuck off with your bullshit lies and deceptions. Seriously.
Or dont, your choice. No seriously, DONT.

Who said passion was missing from Politics? It's right there. Apathy, pah! Hatred is just under the surface, boiling and seething away - ignored by our shitty undemocratic voting system.

Oh and, hi everyone who missed their weekly tabasco sauce! 80% are getting shit on out there, how much fun are they having? Let's wait until the trouble starts eh? I'd expect the end of November announcement wont go down at all well with fucking Julius Twatshire Osborne's little speech. Utter, slimy, maggot of a human with no redeeming features.

THANK YOU!

See, now I have had this conversation with many people through the years... I know when I think (which is rarely, I admit) that i think in full sentences and in my own voice - I hear myself in my thoughts, and it is how I sound when I am speaking out loud. As I am typing this I can hear me saying the words in my head, and if I suddenly have a thirst I hear in my head myself say 'time for a cup of tea'.

Now, I first asked a question about this when I was very young and at a school where everyone else in my class was bilingual, and I asked what language they thought in: do they always think in the same language, or was it dependant on the situation (mother tongue at home, English at school), etc. Nobody could answer as they didn't know what language they thought in which I thought bizarre. I asked the same question of some friends at university, and still nobody could actually say, which I have always thought rather odd.

I've had conversations with Russell, friends, many other people about how they 'hear' themselves think, and nobody seems to really know if they do, whereas I am completely and utterly certain that I do, so then I started to wonder if I was just weird and thought in a different way to other people or if nobody else noticed how they thoughts, or something else.

They can read, so would know the words, just possibly not the sound of the words.

Oh, that's interesting. I wonder why we each got such different responses? Maybe it is because (apart from the couple of people I spoke to at university) they would have been children I spoke to, and perhaps it was too much of a consideration, or I hadn't asked in a way that they could quite grasp my question.

Awesome to hear that others have thought and asked the same thing, though :)

Still can. Haven't for a while, though. When I time myself I tend to run slower than the film, which is odd.

Well, you might not think I do because perhaps that isn't how you think, but I am really quite sure that I do. I assume that I would think in some other manner if I were deaf/bilingual, or perhaps just had a different mode of thought. Despite being quite creative, I am not a very visual person, unless it is in my own imagination. By which I mean I can't learn by watching something. I actually can't stand it: write the instructions down, however, and I can visualise from those. When I design something I can plan and chart the entire thing in my head, and then just make it and write the instructions in a way that others can interpret as I go. The reverse is true: If you put a knitting pattern for a discernible shape in front of me I can read it to tell you what it will make (I think this is similar to how some people can read sheet music and hear the tune in their head).

Similar to Grim... I can also play entire favourite films (not many, but things like the Princess Bride) in my head and recall things I have seen if I close my eyes for a bit. Yet other films I watch once I cannot even recall having seen, maybe just a few days later: I seem to wipe them out if I have 'finished' with them. The number of 'I've not seen that film' conversations I have had with Russell where he will reply :We watched that last Tuesday, together!'. In the same was I remember being asked in a meting why I closed my eyes to recall a few things, and it was because I know that the information came in an email and the way I can remember what the information I needed was to close my eyes and just read through it: It depends if I thought the information was useful at the time.

I'm sure that makes sense to some people and absolutely no sense to others, but I think that people's brains might just work in a different way. I know that Russell and I have spent the last few years kind of taking into my account my panic reflex in my speech, which he does not give me a hard time for at least: If I'm tired or stressed, or especially both, and I feel under pressure to speak I will just start saying words. Often it will be the think that I am looking at: microwave, table, Xbox, jellyfish, but sometimes it's where something has jumped into my thoughts and so I go for a word with the same sound at the beginning: lavender/lavatory, parmesan/party... whatever.

Once when I was a bit stressed and looking for a word I was searching with the familiar 'ummmmm' sound and panicked and finished with 'brella'. It's not something I did when I was younger and I think stems from stress a few years ago, but we have learned to smile at it now without any fear of any nasty response, but (and some of you may have noticed) sometimes if I am in a group and a bit tired, or it's very noisy and loud you may find I go a bit quiet, and that's usually because I 'lose my words' as I think of it, and just need some time to catch my thoughts back up.

The same happens in my head when I am tired. I hear my voice and the wrong words creep in: I know that they are teh wrong words as soon as I hear myself saying them, and sometimes I catch myself shaking my head at my inner 'wrong words' to try and work out what it is that I am thinking.
