Is the title a reference to a Led Zeppelin track? Might be, might not be. The thing is, I'm trying to communicate with a person and that person is not reciprocating, what's particularly odd is that the person doesn't even know what it is I'm going to communicate. Imagine:
'Ding dong'........
'Ooh! There's someone at the door. Wonder who it is?!'
The perennial answer to that one is - bloody well answer it and find out! Basic, but effective.
Sometimes you need to speak to someone and they're in a crowded place, busy, occupied with something else or just plain not interested. Fortune smiles on you and an opportunity arises but you're not able to get the words out. Aarrrghhhhh! Frustration sets in. It should be simple but we tie ourselves up with conventions and that horrid feeling of saying the wrong thing.
So, the truth is, there's never a 'right time' to speak. Spit it out, deal with the consequences and try to be nice.
The person I'm trying to speak to won't read this (no one does...) but maybe by me typing a pile of tripe will filter into the ether and tap them on the shoulder saying 'go on, listen to him, give him a moment, it might be worth it.' They know I don't bite, threaten or otherwise make trouble so I don't know what they're not wanting to hear.
Are full page adverts in The Times or Guppy Keepers International expensive?
