Pavlov's Dogs - What prompts you?

[Mick Mac]

Classical conditioning

I have just opened a can of Lucozade at my desk at work and could not help feeling that the sound of the can opening perked me up as my brain appears to be conditioned to that "can opening sound" being followed by a swift intake of beer.

I find this interesting but a rather worrying reaction at only midday.

What starts you off?

[????]

Hugenot and parking

Mick Mac - What with this and the lift thing I'm checking to see if you are me

Quids - I laughed out loud. But you know he's going to be proved right on that score in the next 5-10 years

The sound of wheeled suitcases makes me think about bed/ get tired/ yawn

Oddly, my street is quiet - very quiet for SE London all things considered - few cars. At bedtime, I doze off listening to the rattling of people coming down the street after getting a late train home - the sound of wheeled suitcases echoing off the other houses - its sort of reassuring/ confirmation of bedtime and hopefully a nights sleep untroubled by dreams of Zombies taking over The EDD and no-one noticing or realising, 'cept me . recurring one innit

never knew lucozade came in cans , learn something new everyday

Lucozade is Hospital Champagne, 10cc wrote of it thus in some 1970s song...

I love Lucozade the original one not the tarted up juiced one.

What prompts me? Talk of traffic lights and road humps, and religion.

I always love hearing the Pavlov cat story from Eddie Izzard !!

Popping bubble wrap....now that starts off a unique and cold rage in me...

One day about 10 years ago this rage peaked and it's release has calmed me ever since.

A lady got onto the no.12 Routemaster bus near Notting hill gate, I was already sitting down stairs on the rear bench seats. She chose her seat and sat opposite ,the bus was at the beginning of the journey so not at all full.

The evening was warm & the atmosphere calm as we moved stop to stop in a rhythm that pleased me. The lady opposite opened her handbag and from it drew a sheet of bubble wrap, pop pop pop she went, pop pop pop all the while smiling in a near trance like state pop pop pop pop.

Well i sat & tried to ignore it & her, really I did...pop pop pop. But enough was enough & up on my feet like a flash I rose grabbing the bubble wrap & flinging it off the back of the bus. Time slowed for a moment as we all watched the plastic float and disappear.

"Wha'ch ya do dat for, hey....Wha'ch ya do dat for. that's private property that is "

and all I said back was " popping bubble warp on the bus ..what is wrong with you...just get a grip"

Well really it was me who should probably have got a grip but nobody got hurt and it felt so good doing it.

Other people smiled and then looked away

And with that years of pent up hate of the "wrap"went floating down the road with it. Peace, I felt peace....
