  • not sure I'd want to take on Snaggles, I reckon she'd be a scary lady with a stilletto as a weapon - I can see her now brandishing it !!! :eek: :rotfl:

    To be honest, I don't think I could be bothered to be with anybody else at the moment, but that's part of why I don't want to be single - not having anyone there, bit of a mess I guess.

    Ah well, anyway.....just had a text saying 'not my fault....the beers kept coming'....so I've replied 'course they did - and you've forgotten how to pronounce 'no'...........

    I guess the 5 mile walk will have sorted him out ;)

    anyway, sorry for going on :(

    I was listening to something on the radio the other day and it seemed worth a try. My heights thing does interfere with my life a bit and stop me doing stuff so I think I should at least try and get over it. maybe if you can talk to them about the incidents they can get you through it - mine is irrational and comes from nowhere!

    and I really want to take DS skiing!

    It's not irrational - heights are actually dangerous. Spare a thought for those people petrified of things like zips and laces....

    I am frightened of People dressed up as Gorillas...............not real gorillas just pretend ones.

    I cant watch King Kong and Planet of the apes makes me feel really ill:eek: I even worry about going to fancy dress parties incase someone is dressed as an ape, I would actually have to leave:o

    I know where the fear comes from though.........Flamingoland in the 1970s side show where a man was turned into an ape and then escaped into the audiance, I was only 4 scarred for life.

    Doesnt affect my life to a great degree I suppose:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

  • Flamingoland has a lot to bloody answer for.

    I went when I was 4. Me and my dad went on a 'wildlife' boat ride and went into a pitch black tunnel. Part way through, I felt something wrap itself around my neck and remember the voice over boat driver was talking about snakes on the ceiling of the tunnel. I screamed and as we came into the light, something long and thin fell on the floor.

    The poor lad doing the boat ride was mortified. As a 'joke' he threw a piece of rope down the boat to say 'oh, there's a snake'........but it went around my neck instead.........:eek:
