A recent report in the news said that talking to yourself is good for you.

Do you?

I do I have just been hanging a very large mirror and chattered away all the time I was doing it

Definitely yes... I talk to myself all the time when I'm planning something out and congratulating myself on how clever I am! Laughing
I also talk to my self when I get angry looking for stuff and more worryingly, lately I find myself asking " Now what the heck did I come in here for?" Laughing

I don't care, it's just me. But I haven't stated moving my lips as I read or write yet...

The first signs of 'TOGdom'? You need to get yourself one of those names & go and see The TOGmeister when he starts his next batch of Sunday shows!

Quite probably LEE... Laughing I'm also starting to like the idea of going to bed early.. something I've never done.

Is looking forward to the comfort of an electric blanket also a sign d'reckon?? Confused

It sounds very like it to me. See this culled from Sir Terry's R2 page.

What is a TOG?

TOGs, also known as Terry's Old Geezers or Gals, listen and attempt tirelessly to feature on Wake Up To Wogan.

Togginess is a state of mind recognised by many, as that feeling of being old before your time. In this light, TOGs are famous for their fierce resentment of anybody younger than themselves reflected in exclamations such as 'They don't know they're born!' and 'Clear off, you young limb!'

Another tell-tale sign of a TOG is a flat cap and an inexplicable penchant for driving their Volvos in the centre lane of the motorway at 60mph. TOGs may also be recognised by their use of such arcane phrases as 'Is it me?', the self-pitying, 'I never saw a bar of chocolate until I was fourteen', the perplexed, 'Why did I come upstairs again?'

Definitely me.. Razz

"a penchant for driving their Volvos ( Jeep ) in the centre lane of the motorway at 60mph"
Whoops... Embarassed

"such arcane phrases as 'Is it me?"
Oh yes..

"the self-pitying, 'I never saw a bar of chocolate until I was fourteen.."
Substitute "I never went off on holiday" and I'm there! Laughing

"the perplexed, 'Why did I come upstairs again?'"
That's me done then.. Sad

I think there is nothing wrong in talking to yourself if you feel it is helpful in your daily life
Its preferable to having to talk to a bunch of people who bore the pants off you and who have little intelligent to say
Not that I would level that comment at anyone on this forum but it might be true of several members of the BBC Management at present

The thing that annoys me about some middle-aged old fogies is the way they repeat themselves. In fact, the thing that annoys me about some middle-aged old fogies is the way they repeat themselves.

Yes, I work with some of these. They go round and round saying the same thing over and over, like a record stuck in the groove. At times I feel like turning them round to see if there is a key in their backs to wind them up and get them going! Smile
