Dyu know what, going back to the noisy sints, I bet in three months time PN, you'll be bessie mates with them and they will be sharing beers with you in the communal garden by the barbie q!!!

Some technical issues ...
1] I doubt it, I'm old enough to be their mum for starters and probably have nothing in common with them. They're a couple too (couples tend to treat singles with suspicion)
2] No communal garden. No barbecues. No place to store barbecues. It's Britain, the weather's usually sh1te outside of work hours.

It's all so much bollox PN. The HR bod has done an expensive course on " interview technique" and has to put it into practice. If they are honest they know its a "game" - if they don't then they are beyond redemption IMO. What this sort of question is supposed to elicit is how you plan for a task, and to play the game you have to show that your planning was first rate, preferably in a way that is so fan-wotsit-tastic that no other candidate can match you;)

My own particular favourite was " if you were an animal, tell us what kind of animal you'd be.." Oh, p- u-lease, one with big teeth & claws that would rip the heads of interviewers who ask such questions. I also can't stand " so, how do you see yourself in 5 years?"

so their loss is greater than yours

Self-employment is clearly the way to go......

If they're going to play games, then they should let people know that and issue the rules first. I know of no such game.

They're fools. The lot of them...

"If I were an animal I'd be a lop eared bunny because they're housetrainable easily." I wouldn't have a clue what the animal question answer could be or why.

"In 5 years I see myself well out of here, surrounded by you loonies for more than 5 years? No thanks"

Surely these questions are against the Disability Discrimination Act - I would never be able to answer any of them because of my speshulness!

I saw once that there was some French experiment. You had to be put into a small room, in isolation for just 3 months. They would watch you, see in what ways you went mad. It was some study about isolation/madness.

They were paying about £27k.... GIVE ME THAT GIG!!

3 months? Puffs.... I'd just sit and think for 3 months, it's not a problem at all. I'd come out as sane as the day I went in.

I know the feeling! I'm quite happy just doing my own thing too - give me a book and my guitar and I could easliy get by with just that.

I have a social phobia - I'm fine at work, shopping, going to football and gigs, but when it comes to socialising people, I completely freeze up. I hate doing the whole mingly mingly thing with people and it always makes me really really anxious.

Amazingly some of the people I work with have said to me, "You don't have anything like that......." because they see me as being relaxed among them at work. What they don't see is that the night before we went 10 pin bowling last week, I stayed up all night worrying about it. Same again the evening after. The guy I sit immediately next to did say, "You didn't seem yourself" so it is somethign that people can see a difference with.

One of the girls I worked with insisted that I must 'join in with people' and that I'm not doing myself 'any good' by spending so much time on my own. Which is clearly the thought of someone who NEEDS people around them. I don't. I'd happily spend each day on my own with my guitar, some books, the web and my thoughts and I'm completely chilled out.

totally Off topic but i always thought of you as a guy rather than a gal pastures... dunno why lol.

We just moved flat recently too, maybe we are the yobos above you :P... Prob not tho heh. no parties here yet.

Its interesting because if you complain it may go badly for you, in that they target you lol..... i;d invest in a good tv system with a good bass and some ear plugs at night. Then play tv loud in morning to wake them up etc .

Nope. Girly. Small, quiet girly.

Do you have way way too many plates? And noisy mates? Did you have a sort of party last night? If it's you ... !!!!!! you noisy, noisy C*NTS

In order to annoy them I'd have to first annoy everybody else. Their flat isn't even joined to mine.

Today it's just been once an hour running up/down stairs and doors banging... and one bout of loud music for 3 minutes. So it's better.

neas

Prob settle down soon etc.

Who knows you might be best of chums with em... If you want to scare em just pretend your a crazy axe murder .

We live next door to noisy couple and they just run up and down the stairs and slam doors as well as play ravey music at odd times. We are considering putting up a product called 'Phonewell' - supposed to be great at blocking noise!

My therapist said I shouldn't dwell on that part of my life

PN just out of interest have you got a pet, would you be allowed to keep one?
Just wondered whether having one would help you when you feel anxious as you did last night.

A beautiful little cat on your lap would be a great calming thing, specially if you got one of those that doesn't move!! Can't remember what theyre called. From your previous post I assume you have a horse, or do you just have the head in the freezer!!(thats sarky joke stuff)

I get the same thing! I don't have any "speshulness", just not anything in common. I have always been seen as the weird one, mainly because I don't find the latest band, latest makeup or latest handbag the least bit interesting...I don't care how much the blouse/skirt/coat cost, or the latest love interest in TV soaps.

I do love motorbikes, sport and rock music...which is not particularly helpful when you work in an office full of females (alas not working at the moment).

I get anxious at the thought of nights out with the girls as I know I won't fit in, I have no idea of fashion and I spend all night worrying about the lower than I feel comfortable top I am wearing, looking fat or just plain saying the wrong thing.

Get me in a spit and sawdust pub with rock music on and in the company of mainly blokes though and I am in my element and the life and soul of the party!:D
