I think I've made a

[brenda]

big mistake.

I rang a friend at lunchtime to ask if he would like to come to a barbeque with his family on Sunday.He said that he would like that.

Just being conversational I asked him how his new job was going.and had he settled in.

Within the next 3or 4 minutes he began to tell me all about it, using expressions like------

1. a ball park figure
2. squaring the circle
3.head on meetings
4 how he could see where people were coming from,
and so on.
What a crashing bore he has become.
Think I've made a big mistake on this one.
