lapal_fan Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It's most likely caused because whoever approaches you to talk breaks a cycle of concentration. So your body then relaxes, which it does by stretching muscles. If you're at a computer, you're most likely sitting in quite a bad posture, or a good posture, so when you start talking, you're body tries to get comfy. I don't think there's any semblance of dominant behaviour going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any semblance of dominant behaviour going on. Speak for yourself! I just had a subordinate in my office. He hadn't interrupted me, as we had walked into my office together talking. I sat down and assumed the pose. He was cowering and quaking in his boots, and he's bigger than me. He left my office mumbling, "Yes, sir! Yes, sir!" Edited July 13, 2018 by il_serpente edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2018 Why anybody would read THE Steve Bruce thread. It's always near the top of the thread list. Many times I've read everything which has caught my eye and then my finger has hovered over the Bruce thread, and I've just moved on thinking what's the point? Like about 2 minutes ago. It's like watching East Enders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I've often wondered why the Steve Bruce thread was full of shit-posts about @sidcow - have you seen some of the shit in there? And all that bit about his mum? Amazes me why he lets them all get away with it. Straight outta Jeremy Kyle! - No actually it's like a real-life Eastenders. In fact I bet Sidcow's life is SO like Eastenders he wouldn't even bother watching it I mean what's the point right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The wife and I have a pair of quidditch mugs (big whoop, wanna fight about it?). One says “he’s a keeper” and the other one says “she’s a catch”. Who drinks from which mug? I think I should use the “he’s a keeper” mug but my wife thinks she should. Should this be in the boring thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t get the tshirts though, we’re not that sad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that mean if you’re both having a tea, if the one mug is being used you feel obligated to use the other one too? To answer your other question in the OP, if this subject wasn’t for the boring thread before, I’d say it’s certainly heading in that direction now.

Seat68 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I drink my coffee, milk no sugar, from a manic street preachers mug. They havent done anything of note since the mid 90's but my wife proposed to me at the gig we bought them at and the coffee tastes great in them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
