You know who I think are really common?
People who will only drink Champagne out of a specimen jar;
Short, stout women in brightly coloured hats walking Afghan hounds in snoods;
Policemen with visible panty lines;
Waiters that spit in your food as they're serving it;
Dustmen that whistle 1970s hits as they pick up the wheelie bins;
Female weight-lifters and ballet dancers that wear their tampon strings outside their leotards;
Buskers that wink and tip their caps when you drop a £1 coin in their guitar case;
8 year olds that fart silently during funeral services;
Smokers that hold their pens like cigarettes in meetings and have a faraway look in their eyes;
Teenagers that haven't mastered the art of skulking, but pretend that they have;
Radio journalists that listen to the voice in their headphones instead of their interviewees;
Male hairdressers who pretend they're straight;
People that still wear Tom Baker/Dr Who scarves and army greatcoats;
Midwives in petrol blue that chuckle to themselves audibly on the underground....

...or have I misunderstood the question, like everyone else?

I think
this may be the best answer I've read this week. Including my own.

Why thank you Al!!
I'll take that as a highly treasured compliment. Does this mean you forgive me for being a music stealing turd?

Oh I could never
forgive you for that.

I don't think I was actually calling you a turd, I was just taking the opposite point of view for the sake of having a good argument. Personally I love to steal the music, though I do so in the full knowledge that I shouldn't.

*Big kiss*
...and the turd was entirely self-inflicted!!




What shall we argue about next week?


I wish 'The Big Issue' was a bit more left wing... [ducks}

It's good to see some
poetry on here.


Love it.

Whoops! Really?

Wasn't really aiming for poetry - would have spent a bit longer on it. Consider it the ramblings of frustrated old man sitting in the pub at lunchtime.

But thanks all the same.

So bold, so brave
This would look nice printed in 12pt Arial somewhere in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern :-)

Mr Grimsdale
saunters in late in the day and walks away with the top prize (if there's any justice).

I'm glad I no longer smoke; I've been all too guilty of mis-holding my cigarette, like the commoner I am.

Ah yes Gunter,
me too, me too.

I'm missing it less and less




and I hardly cough anything up these days, even after exersize!
