The youth of today
I was having something to eat in the pub just before the Big Country gig last night. A pleasant young waitress served me. She didn't seem overly bright, (without disrespecting her too much). I'd caught her attention, and asked for my bill, she came over with the card machine, and smiled. And so the conversation goes...
Waitress: So, have you got any plans now then?
Me: Erm, yeah, i'm just off to a gig up at the academy!
Waitress: Oh, cool. Who's playing?
Me: A group called Big Country. One of my all time favourites.
Waitress: Oh cool. What, is it like country music or somert?
Me: Erm, no love.
Waitress: Oh, right.
Office banter
Roj: He asked if i wanted a brew by asking if I "wanted a cup".
Adam: I'd take that as "Do you want me to hold your balls".
“It’s a wonder the floor hasn’t given way.”
– Roj (on the overweight snooker player Stephen Lee).
Blonde moment, at work.
Beth : "I've always wanted to go to Indonesia!"
Sam : "Is that in India?"
Is it really "that" cold?!
We all like to talk about the weather. (Yes WE ALL do). This week, the mercury has dropped below zero for the first time this winter period. With it, it’s brought countless gripes, whinges and moans from people telling you “it’s freezing”.
The country is littered with twats like this.
Now, i remember last year when ith it -17C one night. The pipes to my washing machine...
