[wiggal]

[Myriad2112]

You

[wiggal]

And to which one?

[Myriad2112]

The boats one

[FKNelectro]

haha, i think swimming near boats. generally people dont like to be sucked in to the engines

[wiggal]

I wouldnt say its common sense, I dont mean huge great things, i just mean dinky little boats.
Can you explain why its common sense to be scared to swim near boats?

[wiggal]

FKN, I dont mean boats with engines, any boats!
My uncle has a yacht on the Isle of man, and even when the boat is moored and no engines running or anything, I used to jump off it & swim away as fast as I can and my dad would have to come get me in the dinghy!

It'd be easier to say what i'm not scared of -I see potential danger in everything-and I hate not being in control.Sorry for a dull answer.

[Myriad2112]

That's just weird!

[cazzz1975]

I have a fear of heights, water, dying, illness and certain foods (eggs and spaghetti)

[Myriad2112]

Spaghetti?, that's madder than boats

[cazzz1975]

yes I know myriad!, I dont let it rule my life because its just stupid!!

[Myriad2112]

Waht do you think it's going to do to you Cazz?

[FKNelectro]

Its not a fear of the food, its the fear of the feel of it, touching it makes me feel nauseous.
