Dannyman52 [07:47]:  yes i did enjoy our chat
Lara Dared [07:48]:  <nods> some people would consider it arrogant to suggest they could understand that, but I do
Lara Dared [07:48]:  I'm a smart arse, but I'm generally likeable with it
Dannyman52 [07:49]:  i have gathered that
Lara Dared [07:49]:  it annoys a lot of people actually
Lara Dared [07:49]:  good job I find that amusing isn't it
Dannyman52 [07:49]:  lol  you are a minx

Lara Dared [07:51]:  Yeah <nods> I think it is
Dannyman52 [07:51]:  what you been writing
Lara Dared [07:52]:  Well.... it's a complicated series of theories and suggested conclusions
Dannyman52 [07:52]:  wow sounds interesting
Lara Dared [07:52]:  considering language development 
Lara Dared [07:52]:  cultural differences and expression
Lara Dared [07:53]:  with a twist
Dannyman52 [07:53]:  tell me more
Lara Dared [07:53]:  does the sound of it really appeal to you?
Dannyman52 [07:54]:  i have an open mind and the author does  
Dannyman52 [07:54]:  so yes
Lara Dared [07:56]:  what makes you think I have an open mind?
Dannyman52 [07:56]:  i dont know  but i said you appealed to me
Dannyman52 [07:57]:  but i would say you had an open mind
Dannyman52 [07:57]:  and strong personality
Lara Dared [07:57]:  You maybe right, why do you consider yourself to have an open mind?
Dannyman52 [07:58]:  ill give anybody or anything  a go
Dannyman52 [07:58]:  as long as it aint life threatning
Lara Dared [07:58]:  Interesting
Lara Dared [07:58]:  my kettle's just about to boil.... bbiab
Dannyman52 [07:59]:  ok
Dannyman52 [08:21]:  how was your coffee
Auto response from Lara Dared [08:21]: Lara Dared is online but may be away from AOL right now.
Lara Dared [08:21]:  Tea... it was good
Lara Dared [08:22]:  I'm just wondering whether or not to make another one with some buttered toast
Dannyman52 [08:22]:  oooh how the other half live
Lara Dared [08:22]:  what do you do for a living?
Dannyman52 [08:22]:  making me hungery
Dannyman52 [08:22]:  electrician
Lara Dared [08:23]:  Ah right, well.... not least because I don't see the point in avoiding temptation, I'm making myself some tea and some toast
Dannyman52 [08:24]:  good girl
Dannyman52 [08:27]:  you back
Lara Dared [08:30]:  Yes
Dannyman52 [08:30]:  how was your toast
Lara Dared [08:30]:  Why did you say 'good girl' ?
Lara Dared [08:30]:  I've only just started to eat it
Dannyman52 [08:30]:  for giving in to temptation
Lara Dared [08:31]:  Ah, although, that's not what I actually said
Dannyman52 [08:31]:  i know
Lara Dared [08:31]:  well... you do now anyway :)
Dannyman52 [08:32]:  lol
Dannyman52 [08:32]:  you anything planned for today

Dannyman52 [08:33]:  cool
Dannyman52 [08:33]:  wana meet me in birmingham
Lara Dared [08:33]:  Nope, no offense
Dannyman52 [08:33]:  none taken
Lara Dared [08:34]:  Good
Dannyman52 [08:34]:  would you ever meet
Lara Dared [08:34]:  Let's just say, at the moment I can't think why I'd consider it?
Dannyman52 [08:35]:  you ever met anyone from on here
Lara Dared [08:35]:  Yep, few times
Dannyman52 [08:35]:  i havent
Dannyman52 [08:35]:  yet
Lara Dared [08:36]:  well.... people's experiences vary, that's because they involve individuals I guess
Dannyman52 [08:36]:  how did your meetings go
Lara Dared [08:37]:  In some instances a matter of minutes, in a few considerably longer
Dannyman52 [08:37]:  i imagine maybe meeting on here is like reading a book then watching the movie
Lara Dared [08:39]:  Yes, in many respects it is, though you may notice aspects apparent that aren't necessarily included in the description as you read it, if that makes sense
Dannyman52 [08:40]:  in my expearience   i have been dissapointed in movies  that i have read the book   
Dannyman52 [08:40]:  so  i would rather see the movie before i got to into the book
Lara Dared [08:40]:  Mmm.... yeah, I've had that experience as well
Dannyman52 [08:42]:  so do you like staffford
Lara Dared [08:42]:  In many ways yes, in a few, no
Dannyman52 [08:42]:  what are the things you dont like
Lara Dared [08:43]:  I suppose it's the same as everywhere else in some respects
Lara Dared [08:43]:  or anywhere else
Dannyman52 [08:44]:  you live alone
Lara Dared [08:44]:  No, with my children
Dannyman52 [08:44]:  what ages  if not a rude question
Lara Dared [08:45]:  why do you ask?
Dannyman52 [08:45]:  just being nosey i guess
Lara Dared [08:45]:  I'm sure there's a reason why you're wondering?
Dannyman52 [08:45]:  no not at all
Lara Dared [08:46]:  Hmm..... okay
Dannyman52 [08:46]:  i have two children    25 and 23 
Dannyman52 [08:46]:  so they are adults really
Lara Dared [08:47]:  I have four children, aged between 22 and 14
Dannyman52 [08:47]:  some adults then
Lara Dared [08:47]:  Yes
Dannyman52 [08:47]:  mine have flown nest
Lara Dared [08:48]:  I'm realising what my mum meant when she said, "They never really leave"
Dannyman52 [08:48]:  i know i worry every day
Lara Dared [08:48]:  about what?
Dannyman52 [08:48]:  my children 
Lara Dared [08:49]:  what worries you most?
Dannyman52 [08:49]:  are they ok what are they up to
Lara Dared [08:49]:  Well... I figure... if they weren't okay, they'd be asking me for help
Dannyman52 [08:49]:  yes   
Lara Dared [08:49]:  and if they want me to know what they're up to... they'll tell me
Dannyman52 [08:50]:  but maybe  are they up to no good lol
Lara Dared [08:50]:  why would you think that?
Lara Dared [08:50]:  what do you imagine when you wonder that?
Dannyman52 [08:50]:  dunno  south london  aint the nicest neighbourhood in world
Lara Dared [08:51]:  ah right, what activity do you most associate it with?
Dannyman52 [08:51]:  its where i grew up  and aint as nice a place for them as it was for me
Lara Dared [08:52]:  Oh ... I see..... what has changed most?
Dannyman52 [08:52]:  culture    more of a concrete jungle now
Dannyman52 [08:53]:  people dont seem as nice
Lara Dared [08:53]:  okay, bbiab, my pups are barking
Dannyman52 [08:53]:  more crime

Lara Dared [09:05]:  what sort of books do you enjoy reading most?
Dannyman52 [09:05]:  i read anythng that takes my fancy
 Lara Dared [09:06]:  Ah, okay.... so what book did you read last?
Dannyman52 [09:06]:  monsoon
Lara Dared [09:06]:  Is that fiction?
Dannyman52 [09:06]:  yes
Lara Dared [09:07]:  I see, so.... what happens... what kind of story is it?
Dannyman52 [09:07]:  its an african adventure seat a few hundred years ago
Dannyman52 [09:08]:  it was a ripping yarn
Lara Dared [09:08]:  bit grisly?
Dannyman52 [09:08]:  in places but tastfully done
Lara Dared [09:09]:  any cannibals involved?
Dannyman52 [09:09]:  no 
Lara Dared [09:09]:  spears, daggers, hands on and riflery?
Dannyman52 [09:09]:  plenty of that
Lara Dared [09:09]:  okay
Lara Dared [09:10]:  what did you find most interesting about that?
Dannyman52 [09:10]:  the story 
Lara Dared [09:10]:  why it happened... you mean?
Dannyman52 [09:11]:  yes it was centred round an english family  
Dannyman52 [09:11]:  over 600 pages
Lara Dared [09:11]:  do you recall who wrote it?
Dannyman52 [09:11]:  wilbur smith
Lara Dared [09:11]:  I think I've read it
Dannyman52 [09:12]:  get away
Dannyman52 [09:12]:  you like wilbur
Lara Dared [09:12]:  It's an old book, not recent ... am I right?
Dannyman52 [09:12]:  yeah it aint a new book dont hink a mate gave ity to me
Lara Dared [09:12]:  My Dad liked his books, I read a few to get an impression
Dannyman52 [09:13]:  i have  read a few of his too
Lara Dared [09:13]:  There were several by Wilbur Smith in my Dad's collection
Dannyman52 [09:13]:  did you enjoy them
Lara Dared [09:13]:  I've read Monsoon, though I'd forgotten the title
Lara Dared [09:13]:  I enjoyed considering the situations the characters were in
Dannyman52 [09:14]:  savage tmes
Lara Dared [09:14]:  what circumstances had contributed to it and in what way
Dannyman52 [09:14]:  hard to imagine that humans were so cold and cruel
Lara Dared [09:15]:  is it?
Dannyman52 [09:15]:  i think so
Lara Dared [09:15]:  Why?
Dannyman52 [09:16]:  well if the book is true   
Lara Dared [09:16]:  Yes?
Dannyman52 [09:16]:  and people were like what they were i think they were pretty cruel
Lara Dared [09:17]:  What's good about fiction is that it gives each reader the opportunity to make a choice about the content
Lara Dared [09:18]:  like a fairy tale or legend, a moral issue to decide
Dannyman52 [09:18]:  true i have a picture of everybody in the bok in my mind and the ships and the places that they visited
Dannyman52 [09:19]:  but th eactions are  there in #8b0915 and white
Lara Dared [09:19]:  it can provide you with a realistic scenario, various motivations set and implied, so you can imagine why the story is described in the way that it is and make conclusions - what would you do stuff
Dannyman52 [09:20]:  i would have hated to live in tose times
Lara Dared [09:20]:  Why?
Dannyman52 [09:20]:  but if i did i wouldn't have expearinced the times we are in now
Dannyman52 [09:21]:  so i guess it would have felt normal
Lara Dared [09:21]:  What are the main differences between the two times in your mind?
Dannyman52 [09:21]:  the cruelty
Lara Dared [09:21]:  you think there's more cruelty in the past than nowadays?
Dannyman52 [09:22]:  maybe not thinking about it but it seemed the norm then
Lara Dared [09:22]:  What do you think has caused the change... even if it's only in perception?
Dannyman52 [09:23]:  we have becme more ciclised 
Dannyman52 [09:23]:  civilised
Lara Dared [09:24]:  nice word civilised, if you had to explain what it meant to a child, how would you describe it?
Dannyman52 [09:24]:  to be honest  caring and to respect others
Lara Dared [09:25]:  Good answer
Dannyman52 [09:26]:  there will always be strong and wek people  so i guess we look after the weak more now
Dannyman52 [09:26]:  instead of letting them die
Lara Dared [09:27]:  Hm, I don't think I agree.... I think perhaps it's more likely that we intrinsically appreciate that they have some other value which is different to brawn
Lara Dared [09:28]:  as for letting others die, that implies a decision ability that influences someone else's life
Dannyman52 [09:28]:  maybe that was a bit strong  
Lara Dared [09:28]:  there's another word for it actually
Dannyman52 [09:29]:  which is
Lara Dared [09:29]:  Hm.... thinking it could be 'choice' or maybe 'responsibility' or something like that
Dannyman52 [09:31]:  yes its a hard one
Dannyman52 [09:31]:  but now we have a thing called learning difficultis
Dannyman52 [09:31]:  when i was  a boy they were just thick
Lara Dared [09:31]:  do you like irony?
Dannyman52 [09:32]:  so mi guess if you take that thory back a couple centuries 
Lara Dared [09:32]:  Yes?
Dannyman52 [09:33]:  that's how we are not so cruel
Lara Dared [09:33]:  by calling them 'special needs' instead of 'thick' ?
Dannyman52 [09:33]:  its better 
Lara Dared [09:34]:  well... it's certainly 'different'
Dannyman52 [09:34]:  lol
Dannyman52 [09:35]:  think we are also pushing people into education
Lara Dared [09:35]:  why do you think that?
Dannyman52 [09:36]:  a lot of people specially youngsters are going into further education  for degrees ect   that they are never going to turn into cash
Lara Dared [09:38]:  why do you think that?
Dannyman52 [09:39]:  because some people are born to be doctors barristers ect and others are born to stack shelves at tescos
Dannyman52 [09:40]:  we are iinterfeing with the balance
Dannyman52 [09:43]:  am not saying i agree with that   but ifear it is true
Lara Dared [09:46]:  why would you be frightened of that?
Lara Dared [09:46]:  aren't there enough people stacking the shelves at Tesco?
Dannyman52 [09:46]:  am not frightened of it
Lara Dared [09:46]:  you said, "I Fear it is true"
Dannyman52 [09:47]:  we just have a lot of dissapointed young people  
Lara Dared [09:47]:  what convinces you they'll be disappointed?
Dannyman52 [09:47]:  and also unemmployed
Lara Dared [09:47]:  unemployed shelf stackers?
Dannyman52 [09:48]:  no people have worked for something that they are no allowed to cachieve
Lara Dared [09:48]:  what do you think disappointed intelligent people do?
Dannyman52 [09:48]:  stack shelves at tescos
Lara Dared [09:49]:  then you don't know what intelligent means?
Dannyman52 [09:49]:  if there is no job available to meet your quals you have to downgrade
Lara Dared [09:49]:  Who said?
Dannyman52 [09:50]:  its supply and demand
Lara Dared [09:50]:  Oh
Lara Dared [09:50]:  and anyone intelligent should recognise there's more potential in stacking shelves for Tesco?
Lara Dared [09:51]:  Tell me, do you also think they'd always think that?
Dannyman52 [09:51]:  yes of course    but with  100 apps for each job
Dannyman52 [09:51]:     dont know
Lara Dared [09:51]:  I do
Dannyman52 [09:52]:  did you know there is a shortage of electricians
Lara Dared [09:52]:  I've heard it said
Dannyman52 [09:52]:  we have a thing now called an adult rainee
Dannyman52 [09:52]:  trainnee
Lara Dared [09:53]:  people retraining, learning how to be electricians as mature adults?
Dannyman52 [09:53]:  they do basically same job but for about 6 pound an less
Lara Dared [09:53]:  Ah right
Dannyman52 [09:54]:  now companys are looking for experieced adult trainees rather than electricians to save money
Lara Dared [09:54]:  makes business sense
Dannyman52 [09:54]:  it does but it is right
Lara Dared [09:54]:  they won't remain trainees for ever
Dannyman52 [09:55]:  why did i bother doing an apprenticeship
Lara Dared [09:55]:  they have their sights set on the additional £6 per hour eventually
Lara Dared [09:55]:  you were paid less as an apprentice
Dannyman52 [09:55]:  most will never quailify
Lara Dared [09:55]:  you undercut people when you started earning on your own
Lara Dared [09:55]:  now don't pretend you didn't
Dannyman52 [09:56]:  that's business
Lara Dared [09:56]:  you knew it was part of the process
Lara Dared [09:56]:  so don't act so surprised now
Dannyman52 [10:00]:  i have to go i  need to be somewhere at 10 30 
Dannyman52 [10:00]:  speak soon  i hope xx
Lara Dared [10:00]:  Okie doke, have a good day \o
