I See Deaf People!
 
http://www.accringtonweb.com/gallery...eaf_people.JPG

Yes it's true, so far as the paranormal and other such things I've always been a bit of a sceptic, just lately however on my occasional trips into town I have noticed quite a few accywebbers either walking towards me or perhaps on the opposite side of the road.

No matter how loud I shout to attract their attention, they either walk on by, or suddenly turn their backs and pay attention to what is on display in the charity shop or pound shop windows, at first I used to think this was just a coincidence but now I am absolutely convinced that.....

Could it be WHAT your shouting that is making them stare in the window
(and hope he just keeps on walking)?

Doh! there's always someone that has a strange and unbelievable explanation for what's happening! Why, Oh, Why, can you not accept what I believe I saw to be the truth?

:rolleyes:

No one ever notices me - aren't all women invisible after the age of 60?

Well I'm not deaf, I'm blind - I don't see any people as I'm walking around town.

I am neither deaf, nor have I lost the power of speech, Less, as our conversation last week will confirm.

Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule... :rolleyes:

Hate shopping so tend to go round with blinkered vision, ignoring people.

I may be able to help you out here Less.
For quite a while I was convinced that the deaf population of Accrington had increased quite severely.and not only that but deaf aids had got bigger.
I also observed that these deaf people were constantly talking to themselves.

A friend explained to me that the aids were in fact a type of communication device and that they were talking to other people of a similar disposition.

I thought it strange that deaf people tried to hide the fact that they were deaf and people that weren't deaf wanted to look like they were deaf.and indeed stupid by talking to themselves.

Hope this helps.:hehetable

It was great seeing you, as usual you were generous enough to carry me from the gutter I was sleeping in to the safety of the pavement, (though I think you had gone a little too far when you took my wallet just so I wouldn't have as much weight to carry home).

It's time you started posting on a more regular basis I miss your humour, by the way where is that Wingey these days? Is he like you and Roy still travelling the world? Get him back on here.:D

Less, if you ever see me in town, please make yourself known.....then I will recognise you next time(that is if you recognise me from my old, old pic).

Methinks you are getting a little paranoid here Less, after all creatures such as yerself have no reflections, and you may be heard by someone looking in a shop window, but not seen, so don't turn around to acknowledge you .. :p
There you go ... easily explained.

Anyway, don't wish to finish up with two holes in me throat ... have no jewelry yet for these piercings ... :eek:

I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was me Less, as Mick will no doubt confirm you need to stand directly in front of me before I even notice! He sat opposite me on the bus back from Blackburn once and I didn't notice until Mimi pointed out that someone I know was looking at me and laughing!

Totally understand your confusion Billy .. LOL.

Less, appears to have this obsession with vampires, (see his avatar and that thingy at the bottom). His favourite tipple however, appears to be of the brown type rather than red ... :D
