This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

A bit off-topic, but...
On the train heading home, there was a chav girl on a mobile, regaling us all with tales of her exciting life in as loud a voice as possible. Imagine Barry Scott in female form, draped in Burberry.

She was talking about someone called Kev and what a twat he was, and, just as I was managing to blank her out, she came out with, "and then I shat meself. Yeah, I actually shat meself..."

Seeing as Burberry tracksuits can cost upwards of a tenner, that's gotta be an expensive accident.

No?

I over heard a similar exchange on a bus in Peterborough.
A couple of Peterborough's finest fat, semi clad teenage girls pushing rat-eyed infants in pushchairs were getting on a bus, as I passed them I heard one say to the other..

"And my cunt was just drippin' wiv 'is cum"

I fought the strong urge to vomit copiously on the street.

I choose to believe she was just being emphatic
The alternative is too horrible to contemplate

Please...
...can someone remind me why we're not allowed to shoot people like this? I have no fucking clue.

I recall a similar Chav related conversation...
That I overheard on a bus.

It would appear that these three female ASBO's had been to a local brance of music shop HMV where there was a signing taking place.

For some reason, I think it was former Corrie star Adam Rickett. Anyway, the conversation on the bus went a bit like this..

'Yer, I can't believe that.'
'What?'
'Him, he looks proper lush on the telly, but did you see what he were wearin'?'
'I know, he ain't got no fasion sense has he'
'Fancy wearing trousers and a shirt'
'He ought to get himself down to JJB, I'll bet he can afford it'
'Yeah, I don't fancy 'im anymore - what was he thinking?'
'Yeah, you'd have thought that he'd have put some proper clothes on if he's doing a signing'
'yeah, you ain't wrong'
'I'll bet her can afford proper Burberry as well, mind'
'Yeah, imagine that though? Getting the proper stuff....'

You get the idea.

I heard a great expression the other day
A school teacher friend of mind (the old-school type) was talking about some 15 y.o chav girl in one of his classes who'd become pregnant, as chavs do around that age.

He described her as "a walking advertisement for a eugenics programme".

I nearly pissed myself.
