"never trust a person who refuses to look you in the eye"
Hmmm, I have terrible trouble making eye contact, especially with people I don't know who insist on getting right in my face when speaking to me. It goes back to when I was very small and my mum insisted on looking into my eyes claiming that there was a tiny man in there who danced around if I was lying. Since I "enthusiastically expanded" most of my stories of what I had done that day, I usually avoided eye contact.
Never trust a person who says "you choose"
Alsatians on the other hand are fine. I've lived with 4 of them in my lifetime so far. You do mean the dogs? Not people from the Alsace region in France?

Hi River,

I have a confession to make - I really struggle to make eye contact too - but that's because I am fundamentally shy. I force myself to do so though but it is uncomfortable. See? Never trust a Plastic Mancunian.

:0)

As for Alsatians - I mean the dogs! I've had five bad experiences with dogs in my life and four of them were with Alsatians. I don't trust them and I never will.

I DO love most other dogs though.

LOL I remember that show. "Sledge Hammer." My brother used to love that show.

Plastic Mancunian said...

Hi Reviewer11,

Yes - Sledge Hammer was so funny. One of the better comedies to make it to the UK from across the pond.

Oh I was just joking when I said, "never trust this list"---sorry if that offended you. I thought you could get that joke as what also Kath Lockett (your 1st commenter) joked.I'm sorry about that. I thought it was kinda humorous to say, "never trust this list" as because your list was also full of humor.
SORRY AGAIN

Plastic Mancunian said...

Hi Bingkee,

The list is meant to be funny and I rarely (if ever) take offence at anything. I'm so laid back I end up lying down most of the time ;-)

As I said - "Never trust a Plastic Mancunian"

Dear Mr P Mancunian,

I've got a problem with your list, you see my bf is 11 years older than I, now what do I do?!

Plastic Mancunian said...

Hi there Lady from Delaware,

How are you?

Hmmm I didn't realise Mark was 11 years older than you. But what's a year anyway?

Also, as I have said, there are two reasons why you shouldn't trust me:

(1) I am the Plastic Mancunian (penultimate item in the list)
(2) If Mark is 11 years older than you, that makes me 13 years older than you, making me even MORE untrustworthy.
