I talk in order to block out thinking. Or I eat. But anyway, your replies have proved my theory that you are completely lovely. Good, I like being right. The retreat sounds interesting, I've always fancied doing it.
My mate John attended a retreat where you couldn't speak for a week and were not supposed to maintain eye contact with anyone, even the person you were sharing a room with. He'd been told by a friend that it was a revelation to spend so much time in silence and really life changing. I asked John if it had affected him that way, but sadly John is Northern, so he just said "Not really. It was boring."
Sorry about number 4, I was playing Devil's Advocate, as you know I'm sure.
