Yep, and the weird looks, don't forget the weird looks... The raised eyebrow and the sort of... Bemused/Amused expression... Especially if they have no idea what you're on about (Which is quite a frequent occurence with me.).

Ah I know it well!
From time to time I get this irrational fear that I'm going to me talking away ninteen to the dozen about someone, rather too loudly and that they're going to suddenly appear and I'll be mortified because of what I was saying!

Ooohhhh, that's terrible, I think I would just have to pretend that I'm talking about someone else. That's why I sometimes give people nicknames, so if I'm talking about someone called... I dunno. 'Lee', I'll call him 'Steve'. Or something. Maybe I'll start giving them Brittas/RD names!

That's a good idea then you can cover your tracks (It probably wouldn't work with me, I go red far to easily!)

Same here, same here... I used to be very good at excuses, but now I'm not so hot at it... "Why were you talking about me?" "Uhhh.... *Face flushes lobster colour*"

Me too, I'm not a very good public speaker... And the SLIGHTEST thing can make me look like... Well, someone who's red in the face.

I'm ok at public speaking as long as I dont let my mind wander. That can cause all sorts of problems!

Oh, I know, substituting one word for another... And it's most likely to be a very rude word... |

Especially if you don't realise you've said it, and everyone is laughing and you're like "What?!", until someone 'kindly' informs you...

That sounds like this dream I had once. Well I can't actually remember what I was dreaming about but when I got up I could have sworn that I heard someone speaking but I just shrugged it off thinking I must have been my housemates talking outside my room. Anyway, I went downstairs and one of them looked at me and said
"Who's Timmy?" whilst grinning slyly at me, I raised an eyebrow and said "Huh?" and got the reply:
"I was just wondering because when I walked past your room this morning I heard you shouting "Please Timmy dont go!"
I'd been shouting in my sleep! I wish I could remember what I was dreaming about (although I do have a sneeky suspicion...)

Lol! I talk in my sleep, apparently once I was saying "Oh my God! The vegetables!", and another, "Henry! Henry!"... What I want to know is.... Who the heck is Henry?!

I don't KNOW a Henry! And I certainly didn't at the time.
Aardvarks eh... Aardvarks. What IS an aardvark? What does it look like?!
