Wednesday night pub night! Literally noone here. Chatty bar guy so I said 'that's great, I'm going to sit over there and look at my phone'. Then another guy came in. Also a chatster. I have allowed the conversation to naturally wind down with hmms and ohs and he's now got the message and is also staring at his phone. But now I feel bad. Like he might be a widower and this is his only chance at contact. I might go in with a fun fact to get the ball rolling again. I'm sure he'll love that. Actually some other people just walked in and I realised that might be an insane thing to do.
HELLO YOU KNOW YOU SAID HELLO AND THAT PUBS USED TO HAVE ROAST POTATOES ON THE BAR AND WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT, WELL LET ME TELL YOU OF MY TALES OR PERHAPS REGALE YOU WITH A FACT ABOUT WHAT TEMPERATURE GRASS STOPS GROWING. 👍

Did it. Told him my fun fact (that there used to be a bar in Hastings called Pissaros that on a Sunday it had a jazz day where they put out free seafood). He was absolutely delighted! Conversation ON! Unfortunately he turned out to be a racist. The moral of this story is - never talk to anyone. 👍
Edit - really kicking myself as when he was talking about bouncers all being African this opened up so many potential brilliant responses I didn't think of at the time.
That is REMARKABLE, where abouts in Africa are they from?
African? Are they white or Black?
That's super interesting, what language were they speaking?
Etc.
Sadly I just realised he's a sad old dude with shitty opinions and stopped talking to him. Not really much of an ally.

@electricsheep Frigo cambiato da un po' di anni. Lavatrice pure. Il forno non scalda ma andiamo con il microonde. La lavastoviglie è sempre la stessa da almeno 30 anni. Non dico la soddisfazione di cambiare piano cottura, con uno con le griglie in ghisa che finalmente sta acceso (quello vecchio, e neanche tanto, aveva problemi alla termocoppia). Il prossimo acquisto sarà una scopa elettrica (rigorosamente cablata) per sostituire l'aspirapolvere, che sta cadendo a pezzi (letteralmente).
