' Humphrey Barclay saw Mickey on Jimmy Savile's 'Jim'll Fix It' television show. Seeing the children chatting in the marketplace with the friendly robot, this led to the creation of the Metal Mickey television show'

From wikipedia, so perhaps savile had summat to do with it

I'm very sociable really, and if I go out, I usually make new friends easily. Trouble is, I don't go out very much, because I've become isolated while raising the children with th'usband working late (or going out his self, which I won't whine about now, becaue I have done before).

I've a handful of people who think they're my mates, but I don't count them as such really, because they only ever turn up out of the blue every few months, specifically because they want something. Otherwise, I don't hear from them. It pisses me off.

I do make a point of being pleasant and polite with people generally, except when they are rude to me, at which point, I let them have it with both barrels. Such as an occasion when I chased a bloke along the street in the town centre and berated him loudly, because he'd casually spat, whilst walking past me, and unwittingly left me with a big blob of phlegm on the leg of my jeans. He apologised (when he could get a word in) but he didn't seem embarrassed, as I felt he should have been. He seemed to think I was amusing.

this thread was kind of meant to be light hearted. You can't really have a hermit club.

Sorry Lesley dear.

Just got in from work & it takes about an hour for the lead to work its way out of my heart.

I like the sound of Venice Andy.

@ Gilly, I know just what you mean about having children! That man should have felt very embarrassed, spitting on people ffs. Even it's by accident.

Ewww! I had a man spit in my face once. I was standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light and he walked right up to me and spit a huge wad of phlegm right on my cheek. I had never seen him before.

Reading this thread reminded me of a bit that Chris Rock did, he is talking about married people, but what he says reminds me of all people, generally, and why I like to keep to myself.

Uh, D'uh. See, I didn't "get that" oxymoron, the penny didn't even start to drop.... until you spelled it out for me.

G'day LesleyPumpshaft.

Firstly, pic's of your "lady-balls" would be appreciated for future reference and recognition.

Those "wrong people" are usually acquaintances posing as friends. Acquaintances will tell or listen about life experiences, while a friend actually experiences life with you. There's a world of difference.

Do you have times and dates, if so can you drop me a PM please?

Btw, we can have a hermit club. We can say knickers to convention, because we're big bottomed anarchists.

ikey, oops , Mikey has been dropping this hint for a while now.

So lets get hot while the irons are striking...

Let us not have meet-ups, for they are far too common.

We could have a Travel Club instead, for meet-ups and stuff, and call it The Hermit Club.

I like the cut of your jib jhado.
