When I see a bloke who has razor shaved his neck and under his chin, leaving a sharp, sculpted line of hair running along his jawbone in a deliberate attempt to make himself look less of a chubster in the face area.

Really amuses me.

That irritates me, the whole trimming along the jawbone.

I went into a hairdressers once, had a good rep, main guy there was meant to be a classically trained barber etc
I saw he had his beard line trimmed far too high up his face.

Walked straight back out.

On a similar vein, along the same stretch of road in Leigh, there's a gentleman's clothes shop.
Walked in there and it immediately looked a bit iffy, but I had time to kill so thought I'd have a nose.

Shop manager/owner comes walking over calling me 'fella', with a hideous ensemble of blue jeans, black loafers and a white shirt with massive cuffs and black dotted buttons.

Immediately struck me that if I wanted proper men's clothing, it wouldn't be in a shop served by a bloke dressed like that calling me fella.

Whole place just screamed lairy.

Work is making me smile at the moment, i have my gardening majo back thanks to a bloody brilliant manager who believes in me and my ability.

As a result, i walk through the garden and it's full of colour and scent, the grass is cut and all the edges to the beds are neat and short and looking like a well maintained golf course.

Might post some photos tomorrow if i take my camera in.

Also there was a firm advertising some sort of hitch hiking app to match rides with people needing a lift. The comments on that were properly good.
What could possibly go wrong ? :lol:

I'm forty-five years old, nearly fifteen stone, got dodgy feet and done almost no exercise in about five years.
Just had a full-on 80m sprint for a bus, in a suit and work shoes, and carrying a bag. Made it.
Half-dead now, though :D

Dogs who bark at motorbikes. They crack me up. A while back I was standing by my bike and a Jack Russell was barking his head off at the bike, it wasn't even running either. I had anotehr the other day, hanging out of a car window going along the M25. We were parallel for about a mile and the dog just barked constantly. Had one this too morning too going past Regent's Park, white Staffie barking his lungs out as I went past. I don't know why, they just crack me up.

That's actually intentional for when BMW and Audi drivers are behind me.

A little Down syndrome girl came and sat next to me on the bus yesterday. She must've been about 7 or 8. She gave me this huge smile so I gave her a thumbs up. As I got up to get off at my stop I high fived her. As I walked past the bus she came over to the window and blew me a kiss. Quite possibly one of the loveliest things ever. I walked home grinning and ever so misty eyed.

My new teeth!

Strictly speaking theyre my old teeth, but Im having them straightened and I can finally see what the end effect will look like, so I keep smiling at myself - rather gormlessly I reckon.

Sadly have not seen Miss Jones's gusset so cannot respond to the previous post with any confidence.

Going into a shop, paying for my purchase with a fiver and getting change from a tenner. Free Item plus 7 pounds change :)

Taking a few bottles of Cava round my sisters house, drinking them together, then watching some TV progs and both agreeing they were crap and slating them of together in syncro at the same points.

Someone in The Snug complaining that their wife has stripped down to her knickers.
You couldn't make it up.
