Personal question

Apparently if you can convince a friend to put their testicles in an empty marmite jar, they will find them very difficult to remove without using a hammer.

Good luck in all your endeavours.

What type of conversation with a friend would lead to him placing his testicles in a marmite jar, empty or otherwise?

Ask him yourself.

. . . when they are in the mental institute because they don't know who they are.

i think they did a study examining whether children raised in a bi-lingual environment developed negative psychological effects, y'know, to do with confusing the child and all that. they didn't find any evidence.

Maybe you're thinking of Third Culture Kids?

I'm going to the kitchen right now to check out the diameter of a Marmite jar.Just out of curiousity of course!

That's true!.For now i'm going to check out the medium size.Bumper size? now you're talking serious science!

i think that might have been it.

I would've loved to have been bi-lingual too, French perhaps, or Italian.

I also think that any instrument to fluency would've been good. People should think in eights.

No way! the favourite song I've ever written is in compound 5/4 6/8. :)

I wish I was bilingual, and what makes it worse is that my mother was until her (french) grandparents died, at which point her mother stopped speaking it and so my mother had forgotten it by the time she was a teenager.

I only found that out on my 20th birthday as well!

i'd love to have been multi-lingual. like 6 languages.
and something more realistic, i wish i had been taught how to ride a bike and had grown up with cycling from an early age. i learnt how to ride a bike when i was 10/11 because when i was younger i chose rollerblading instead haha.

there are infinite things you can think of that you "wish" you were brought up on. for me at least.

i think they did a study examining whether children raised in a bi-lingual environment developed negative psychological effects, y'know, to do with confusing the child and all that. they didn't find any evidence.

. . . because they couldn't find any children, they were all out shooting up on 'brown' and sucking disco-biscuits - trying to get the Franco-Japanese voices out of the their ruined brains.

The bottom line is that if you don't want to bring up a mental, teach them the speak British.

bilingual here - welsh and english.

weirdly i'm also 2 personas, one welsh and one english, and flip between the two naturally as i speak either one or the other language. doesnt qualify as schizophrenia i woulden't think, and even if it did, it doesnt bother me at all :)

yeah i know what you mean. speaking two languages fluently makes you two different people. you think differently and become someone else, in a way. you can express yourself in another language with another culture- its hard to explain!

Why don't you stop lying to yourself and 'come out', this lie you have been living is destroying you.

Do these personas ever ever occupy your noggin at the same time and have an argument? That would be fun albeit rather one sided; with the welsh part having a good rant about the general cuntiness of 'all you english fuckers' (in welsh of course) and the english part having a little lie down, rolling his eyes and muttering 'whatever'.

I'd only want a second personality in my head if it gave me a break from the utter prick I've been saddled with up until now.

The nearest I get to being musical is Guitar Zero so I guess for me it'd be getting me a piano and making me play it.

Unfortunately, I asked for a commodore 64, and got one. And so my childhood was wasted.

i wish that my parents had made me go to gymnastics when i was younger.. the leotards would have been a bit of a downer but it would have meant that i could have chosen to be either

a) a breakdancer
2) a ninja

ho hum..

I used to be able to count cards, up to 3 decks at a time. My parents would show off my party trick to their friends. I had other impressive mental faculties that were never pursued. By the time I got to school I was more interested in sports and having a laugh. I could have become a hustler :(

I wish I hadn't have been talked out of trying to become WWF Wrestler

Hmm, I'd have liked extrovert skills, ballet lessons, and all the important political speeches read to me verbatim at bed time.

As long as you're not really confused and decrepit, I don't think you can really be too old to learn a new language - my mum, who is in her mid 50s, just got herself a job as a romanian translator after teaching herself it in a year or so.

Also, I reckon growing up speaking more than 1 language actually helps you to express yourself, rather than confusing you. There's things that are just said better in certain languages (as long as the people you're with understand of course).

Anyway, I wish I'd been pushed into learning manly things like how to make fires and chop wood and tell where i am in the forest from the moss on the trees and track wild boars and stuff. That and sports.

I speak / think / read / write / swear in 3 official languages, joined first cycling team when I was 14, lived in 3 countries for more than 3 years in each.
Regret about spending 4 years studying accountancy / bookkeeping only to find out, that I don't like it.
