When you meet someone for the first time and need to make small talk ... what sort of things do you talk about?
The recent weather seems to be one that comes up a lot ... what else is good??

i find alcohol helps the small talk run smoothly though
cloud formations are a good conversation starter
girl: fine thanks

girl: er, it looks like it
boy: great
girl: great
boy: nice top
girl: thanks it was only £1:20 from Primark! I also picked up a nice wooly pair of cacks from C&A... I was going to get the pink skirt but I thought the panties would be better for this time of year. They have got a really cute pink and baby blue nighty in there, aww you should see it.

With women try talk a bit about clothes or shopping or stuff
With men talk about football or cars
'Ooh, look at that cloud'
'Oh...yes'
'It looks like a penis'
'Oh my'
That's the most interesting thing I can think to say about the weather at least.
Omg, so much.
I sit there and go "so then...*looks around for something to talk about*" and I do it loads. Esp on the phoen to someone for the first time or something.
The only time I'm likely to start small talk is if I'm queueing. When the conversation normally goes like:
Me: "Isn't this a long queue?"
Stranger: "Er, yes." (stranger shuffles off).
me: hey you from blah blah blah?
fit bird: yeah, i think i seen you there too
me: nice arse too, yours i mean
fit bird: not as nice as yours *grabs mine*
and then massive orgy.
small talk is well wicked.
