Today I Heard.....

[John Marwood]

Somewhere in the vicinity of Eta Aquarius, I believe?

I don't do the bottled water thing

Although I did once have a cup of tea at Iron Mountain at junction 14 - lovely people

 

[Trumpet]

On Radio Stoke that 1d used to be worth 2.4p.

On a bus to Newcastle, 3 teenage girls discussing the benefits of certain cleaning products. Refreshing to hear, maybe we aren't doomed quite yet?

The teenager I see most once sprayed a can of paint at the garage wall to see if it had any in, then was genuinely surprised when paint came out. His defence was '"well I didn't know!".

Last night's events may have put a spanner in that

 

[Withnail]

Somewhat.

...the karaoke from the Four Crosses, clearly, whilst I was still on the town-side of the Prison Gates.

There are people in Slough

Who can't hear that because the BA planes have just started up

All at the same time

Cabbage crates over the briney

My owl, Gavin, has won third prize in the cake decoration competition in the WI wigwam at the County Show

Or rather today someone hadn't heard.

In the pub getting refreshments whilst doing some accounting, bumped into a chap who lives further down the lane who was also working from home.

We got chatting and before long it became quite clear that he didn't know that there was an election on, never mind that this was polling day, hadn't heard anything about terrorist attacks in Manchester or Borough Market/London Bridge AND was unsure how the Euro Referendum had gone last year!!!!

And this guy has a degree and a supposedly responsible position at the Borough Council.

Says it all really...

Today I heard in the Co-Op.

Man on the till says to the woman at the counter (in front of me)......

"Hello Sue, you look different, is that a new hair do"

"Yes" she says "It's called a man bun"


I found it very difficult not to interfere with this conversation and ask... "isn't a bun on a woman just "a bun" and it's only a man bun if it's actually on a man?

I remember a chap once telling us that his sister had had a vasectomy - and getting quite huffy when challenged about it.

This is just one of the reasons why I stopped patronising the Co-op.
