She had a drink the other night and became talkative.
She literally talked at me for 4 solid hours.
First hour was almost a conversation although she clearly wasn't listening to anything i said and started taliking about random other subjects half way through my sentences.
Second hour was mainly the old smile and nod from me with my eyes ahead trying to watch the telly.
Third hour was me doing a lot of this:
By hour four I'd given up on manners or subtlety and asked her repeatedly to stop talking, for the love of god just stop please.
Apparently we were just having a conversation like normal people and i'm a fucking arsehole. Door slam, off to bed. Result.
The moral of the story is appeasement doesn't work, will go straight to a war footing in future.
