The off-topic topic

Ha Ha . It doesn't mean you want the bird on the beach to think that.

Who cares what she thinks. She's running around naked. She's got bigger things on her head instead of thinking about you being a pervy, and tbh, so do you...

You know that recital I did the other day singing on stage?
I sang the song "Somewhere" from West Side Story and it was recorded I dont know how to show it to you though.

I uploaded my performance here:

I was so nervous though I shouldnt have tried to introduce the song

[Yi-Long]

Good stuff, Gwimmy! You were pretty nervous at first, yeah

[grim_tales]

Thanks Being nervous stands out for me, if I had prepared what I wanted to say it would be better

[Yi-Long]

I think many of us are nervous when we have to speak in public. TBH, it should be dealt with at a young age in schools, so children will get more confident.

It's pretty damn simple to include in normal lessons: just start by having kids stand up when they have to give an answer, and slowly build from there, untill they can stand in front of the class on their own, on top of a table, shouting their bookreport or something.

Well done Grim, I don't think I'd have been able to do that, I've always had a problem speaking in public too (to a class, etc.)

[grim_tales]

Thanks Gas, Yi. I'm not usually as bad as that, maybe if I written down what I wanted to say (my name, what the song was) etc
How did your problems start Gas? Is it similar to mine?

[gasteropod]

It's not really something I've seen as a problem as such because as Yi says, it is quite normal to get all nervous and feel stage-fright when having to speak to a class, but yeah the last time it happened to me was in a poetry class at Uni, I had to read mine out and I felt like I couldn't breathe!

[grim_tales]

All I had to say was my name etc and I felt like I couldnt breathe either, nothing came

Fucking hell, I'd heard Rick Astley was making a come back but I never suspected he'd be hiding out on the BnB all these years! Wasn't expecting you to be a baritone Grim. I thought that was Tony Kaye introducing you for a second there as well!

[grim_tales]

Is that a good thing I look like him? Someone on YT posted a nasty comment (not you).

Whenever ANYONE posts a video on youtube, there will be nasty comments. Especially when they feel they can kick someone down. I guess that makes their day a bit more fun or something. You could be Shakira posting a video of yourself in your panties, and there will still be people insulting you...

Don't let any of that get to you, and if it does, maybe just disable the feedback function for that clip.

You did a great thing. You sang in front of an audience even though you were nervous, and you sang pretty well. That's more than 99% of the rest of the people here or wherever would dare to do, let alone posting it yourself on internet.

[grim_tales]

Should I say something back? The guy asked if I was drunk, what a tosser. I found what he said hurtful though I know not everyone will like it.

Well he's famous for being a shy, unassuming and rather small white guy with a very deep singing voice.

[Markgway]

Well done Grim for having the balls to get up on stage and perform even though you knew how nervous you would be. I think that's the most nervous I've ever seen anyone but you made it through. Kudos.

[grim_tales]

Thanks Shing and Mark I thought Shing meant I was uncool or that I had Ric's hair or something

[grim_tales]

It seems a bit odd, people knowing what I look like

[gasteropod]

Yeah I totally thought you looked like this:

[grim_tales]

Awwwww!

[Markgway]

For some reason I pictured you with fair hair.

All my illusions are shattered, you vicious bastard!



And you should just ignore trolls. They only want attention. It was clear you had stage fright and were not drunk(!) Don't respond.

[grim_tales]

I wouldnt be drunk that early in the morning (!)

[Markgway]

That's not what I heard...

[grim_tales]

Cheeky

Well done Grim. You look basically like I was expecting. You've gotta love a mullet . You look overwhelmed at the end. Well done.
