Here's a place to put your own observations in life. They don't necessarily have to be funny.... A few to start with.... I saw a chap the other day wearing a suit. He was carrying a pizza. Now I know there's nothing wrong in that. He was probably quite hungry (clemped), but the image of a bloke in a suit carrying a pizza box seemed wrong!  Another little thing that has made me wonder for years... Why, when it's raining, do people hunch up their shoulders closer to the neck in order not to get as wet!  Also, someone once told me (Probably my mum) not to go outside once you've had a bath or you might get a cold. Does that mean you shouldn't really have a bath before you turn out for a night on the p*ss?  |

Have you ever noticed that when people are told they can't return something they bought without the receipt they will ask the customer service person/clerk what they are suppose to do with it then? (one of these days I want to tell them to put it where the sun don't shine, but I don't really want to get fired.)

That when the weather is so nasty authorities are telling people to stay home, people will venture out into the fray to go SHOPPING!

I don't know if this is just Wigan, but around nearly every school now, there are new road markings reading.... 'SLOW SCHOOL'Now either the council have made a politically incorrect statement, bad use of punctuation or most schoolkids in Wigan are a bit thick! |

Try this...
Whistle.
That's it - just whistle a tune when out and about.
9 times out of 10, if another bloke's walking past, he'll start whistlig a different tune - straight up!
It's a 'behavioural thing' - don't ask me how or why it works it just does - have a try!

It certainly looks to me like the NHS are having cutbacks again. I spotted this last night at Wigan infirmary...  |

 It has come to my attention recently that people of England still refer to the pound as a 'pound coin'. This phrase started way back in 1983 after the disposal of the pound note. I just think it's weird that we still say that after 25 years without the pound note. "Have you got a pound coin?" etc... However we don't follow the word 'coin' with any other coin. "Can you lend me a 20p coin?" is simply "can you lend us 20p?" I reckon it's time we just called a pound a 'pound'. (or in Dave Spikey's case, a 'pouhnd'! |
