		<description><![CDATA[It came like a bolt from the blue. It always does. My wife wanted to talk. Not a friendly talk, but one of those talks where she wants to vent her huge frustration with me. She&#8217;s very good at this, and whether she realises it or not, has a canny knack of vicious character assassination, in [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.thatexplainseverything.com">That Explains Everything</a><br><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/uk/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc/2.0/uk/88x31.png" /></a><br /><span xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" href="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text" property="dc:title" rel="dc:type"><a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" href="http://www.thatexplainseverything.com" property="cc:attributionName" rel="cc:attributionURL">That Explains Everything</a></span> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/uk/">Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 2.0 UK: England &amp; Wales License</a>.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.thatexplainseverything.com/experience/out-of-the-blue/">Out of the blue</a></p>

And what happens if you don&#8217;t express yourself? These thoughts have been on my mind recently, so I thought I&#8217;d write about them a little.

That didn&#8217;t come as a surprise &#8211; I have after all been talking on this website for nearly eighteen months now in a matter-of-fact way as though it was already a done deal.
