Except 'body language' in the sense of 'if he does that, it means this' is a crock of shit.

if you listen very carefully - every time he puts his hand over his mouth he says, "arse!"

No. It really isn't.

Half-arsed assessments of body-language by nincompoops are crocks of shit, I'll grant you that.

you may be relieved to know I wasn't being entirely serious...

My missus watched about 9000 episodes of "Lie To Me" on Netflix.. give it a go - i guarantee it would have you frothing at the mouth in under 10mins - it certainly did me!

No it isn't. It's incredibly accurate.

Allan Pease disagrees. Body language speaks volumes.

Having studied it (among other things) at university, I can say that there's definitely something in it.

It's not. It's changes in body language that can be illustrative. You need to know the person's natural manner before you can pretend to make any 'reading'. All that 'if you look up and one way it means you're remembering, and if the other way you're lying' is nonsense designed to sell bollocks NLP classes to idiots.

If somebody naturally covers their mouth when they are talking, say a 19th-century genius who doesn't want people to see his f*cked up teeth coz of all the drugs he did, then covering his mouth isn't a sign he's gay (though he is) or lying.

Some people cross their arms a lot because they are comfortable that way. The only way you can 'read' arm-crossing as 'defensive' is if you know the person you are talking to doesn't cross their arms anyway.

I'm impressed at you typing with your arms crossed Pru!

Agreed, but that's the development in the thinking which is important. It doesn't negate it's value, just that taken by narrow thinking eejits who THINK they understand it.

Now ... NLP ... there's a much broader subject.

Moony-management.

It should be banned.

Pah, Giant killing my arse.... we are marginal favourites to win the game.

I agree, and having spent the last two and a half hours since you posted this watching all Dougie's press conferences on YouTube*, I can confirm that mouth-covering is up 274.8% from the norm, representing a significant statistical upturn.

The only conclusion must be that he has syphilis, then.

We will nab this one, 2-1 to the whites.

If NGog is talking to Swansea, who do we play up front? All we've got is a supposedly injury riddled and certainly not fully match fit Craig Davies.

That is a bit grim really.

Moritz false 9, lovely stuff.

Dougie today at the AGM said he would put out his strongest side tomorrow. Anyone any idea what is our strongest side because I'm not sure he does.

Be interested to know about what was said, will you update in the relevant area please?

Additional kiss of death - Lawro has tipped us for a cup shock
Strangely - I miss the days of his pointless ramblings that used to involve us - won't get them regularly now for quite a while now I guess.
