    Can't find blushing emoticon Karen, so I'll have to make do with this one :curlers:

    Hi Suze. My Mum's besotted with Colin Firth (she watches Pride & Prejudice over and over) she's got his pic plastered across the walls of her bedroom. It's like she has a teenage crush and for someone 60+ it's quite amusing :D

    Hi again vampire,

     

    The films he is most famous for are Mr Smith Goes To Washington and perennial favourite It's A Wonderful Life (both with James Stewart in the lead roles) and also Meet John Doe with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.

     

    This is a noted quote from Capra: "There are no rules in filmmaking, only sins. And the cardinal sin is dullness."

    Monk is a detective series currently showing each week day at 2.35pm on BBC1.

     

    Monk

     

    Adrian Monk is known as the 'defective detective' because he has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and he uses his traits to solve crimes. It's very good.

     

    Monk's truly obsessive attention to detail allows him to spot tiny discrepancies, find patterns, and make connections that everyone else in the investigations miss.

    Hi gromit. Sorry you have had these experiences too >:D<<'>

     

    I can do cyber hugs just fine :D

     

    I know I have to walk away from people who are harmful to me but I feel tremendous guilt because I have lost friends who deserted me in the past and I don't like to do the same to others.

    Hi Bullet (sorry for yet another post) I agree with what you're saying. I have seen him hurt others, I can see their faces and eyes hurting when he's saying stuff. What I can't understand is why for the first few weeks of knowing him he was okay, he accepted me, was he sizing me up do you think? Seeing with what he could get away with. Also, some days when it is just him and I talking, he is okay, not many barbs in the conversation but another person comes along and he either rips into me in front of them or them in front of me and if I try and support the other person then I get it too. With women, he is okay and never does or says anything nasty at all.

    Hello ksasnic >:D<<'>

     

    I am going to continue to say hello. I don't say it indiscriminately, only when I see people looking at me. I find eye contact difficult so I hope that a 'hello there' and a smile suffices instead.

    I'm not going to bother with him again and I worry (yeah I always worry) that I'm maligning him, don't mean to. I'm just a little upset because when I first met him, he seemed caring and supportive and now I am seeing how he really is, not just to me but others too. I am best off without him. If I see him again, I will wave and nod (shalln't say hello) but don't want to get any deeper than that.

    I think us on the ASD are all pretty cool people really. There's so much love, support and encouragement on these boards that it's unreal. This place is by far the most supportive board I've ever been on and without having an ASD or knowing someone that has, we wouldn't have all met would we? >:D<<'> everyone :thumbs:

    I have edited my previous post, added some more. Sorry to go on but I don't get many people to talk with out in the world and the way he treats me makes me feel sad inside.

     

    Hi Lauren. I told him that I was brought up to greet people and it's just something I do. He told me that "we live in England Jon and people just don't do that" and I said "but it's just something I like to do, I've always done it and most people say hello back and some stop and chat." He said "well, I just think it's stupid. You're going to get punched one day" and I said "yeah but there's no malice in it." He said "I just don't understand you at all." I left shortly after and haven't been back since. I guess I could change in his presence to be something he wants but again, what good is that?

    It's really strange because this person really has nothing to complain about in my opinion. He has a younger wife and two small children (he's in his 50's) and he has a business which is doing well. He just loves to put people down and yet when someone else does it, he's the first to criticise. He's actually getting at himself but through others if that makes sense? He treats everyone badly so I'm not putting what I feel above these people, the chap he spoke down to went away looking very miserable indeed. I just feel it more I guess because when I come home I perhaps don't have what these others have and that seems to make the feelings hit home all the more. Does that make sense? An example being, when I say something to him he might take it okay, something really commonplace like my view on politics or something but when someone else comes along he'll say "jon think this..." and then go off on one and what before passed without notice now becomes something big. He'll then say something like "he talks a lot of cr*p doesn't he?" and then laugh and I just feel small. I've even said things to echo what he thinks and feels in front of people hoping that will be okay but he'll even rubbish that. I don't understand him at all. He doesn't treat me very well at the best of times but when others are present, he's horrible.
