Give me some dialogue from your day

[GrasB]

Her: Wow, I don't feel totally f**ked keeping up with you
Me: Er... (just to say something about my injury)
Her: Not?, OH! ... I didn't ...
Me: See you next week? Bye!
Her: Sorry!
Me (in my head): Hun, what are you going on about?
... a bit latter ...
Me: Ah!.. THAT's why **** got all flustered.
On my Sat morning rides I normally end up meeting, a rather cute, woman as I I'm doing my warm up loops & head out to the open roads. These rides are fast paced tempo rides so towards the end of the warm up loops I'm absolutely flying. Today due to a slight injury I thought I'd go for a recovery ride instead.

Me: Oh, it's one of those with a plastic end.
NT: Let's have a look.

<some wrangling with a Leatherman>

NT: No, that'll need sawing off.
Me: Ok, I'll unpick the fabric from the spokes anyway, we'll cut it later.
NT: See, that's when you need one of those little bandsaws....

The answer should always require the purchase of a new tool in some way. Thems the rules.

The answer should always require the purchase of a new tool in some way. Thems the rules.

With my craft activities, I always seem to need a slightly smaller version of some whopping great tool NT already has - now, now steady, stop sniggering at the back.

I swear we're the only people who walk round Axminster Tools saying "Oooh, look, this one's cute!"

Blimey, I never knew, wow, congrats!

Ta!

It just goes to show what can happen if you ask for advice about first dates on here.

..I've just realised that I'm very, very old. Witness conversation with friends son:
"What's a tape?"
"We used then to put in walkmans, because LP's could only be played on a record player"
"I don't know what any of those words are...how do you download music to it [the tape]? How many mb was the tape?"
...and I think you know where it goes from here. And it's all downhill (for me anyway...).
Ironically, the days of downloadable individual songs mean "albums" have been replaced with "playlists".
There was one interesting part to that conversation though...he found the concept of measuring in minutes, not mb amusing. Specfically, that the quality of the recording was "fixed", and that quality did not affect capacity. AM, FM, or CD quality...if a song was 3 minutes, it only used 3 minutes of "capacity". A 60minute tape always contained 60 minutes of music, whether it was recorded off the AM radio, or off a CD.
He only knows a world where a crappy DVD rip is 500mb, full DVD quality is nearly 3gb, and Blu-ray is 25gb. Yet the film is still 2hrs long in each case.

From the middle of last week, when we had a couple of lippy teenage lads hanging around the centre refusing to leave.

Lad, to me "Anyway, this is a community centre on Tuesdays, innit, for kids?"*
Me: So?
Lad: Well, I'm a kid.
Me: And what day is it?
Lad: Tuesday.
Me: Try again. It's Wednesday...

He was actually lost for words for a moment, couldn't think of a comeback.

*It isn't. We have conservation volunteers in on Tuesday and Thursday, but no specific kids' activities. He was just looking to score a point. And failing.

Earlier conversation, to give you a taste of their intelligence:

Lad: So why does that (our electric vehicle) need a tax disc and insurance?
Me: Because it drives on the road.
Lad: No it doesn't, it only drives round St Nicks (the nature reserve).
Me: No, it drives all over the city.
Lad: No it doesn't.
Me: Yes it does.
Lad: Well, I've never seen it.

Honestly, some kids just aren't worth the oxygen. I'd have thrown him in the pond if they'd let me.

Forgot about this earlier in the week -

Person A: So how about physics?
Person B: I ignore physics, it's just broken!

No dialogue, a sort of sign language conversation.

Mrs McGinty picking frozen cat turds from the garden.

Me: Taps on window
Mrs 3BM: Looks over
Me: Thumbs up
Mrs 3BM: Removes glove and flicks the V's

Background - I've entered an 100km sportive (my 1st) in August, so I'm sat with Mrs pplpilot (PhD!!) telling her the ins and outs and how it would be nice for her to drop me off on the morning and see me off etc..

Me: So if you could drop me off just before 9:00 that'd be great and call by later to drive me home, don't fancy the 20 mile ride home after 100k

Mrs pplpilot: Yea, ill hang around rather than drive home and back again, ill pop and have some breakfast with Baby pplpilot and stroll along the river, seems pointless driving 40 minutes home only to leave half hour later to drive 40 minutes back...

Me: Eh?

Mrs pplpilot: You'll only be just over an hour or two wont you?

Me: Eh? it is a hundred Kilometres dearest...

Mrs pplpilot: yea I know, that's about 60'ish mile inst it? 60miles by 30mph a tad over 2 hours you'll be finished...

Me: Eh? how do you work that out?

Mrs pplpilot: you're the engineer its not difficult maths is it really simple time/distance ?

Me: Eh? Are you saying i'll be doing 30mph for 2 hours? it's a bicycle not a car!

Mrs pplpilot: You told me you did 32mph on your bike last week end...

Me:

Stepson - I've been provisionally accepted into college to do physics, chemistry, maths, and further maths.
Wife - I think you should do something for fun instead of all those heavy subjects, what about music?
Stepson - The further maths is for fun.

Me to customer 1 "hello"
customer 1 -ignored me.
Me to customer 2 "hi,"
Customer 2 -ignored me, walks about looking lost

C2, continues to ignore me, continues to wander about looking lost.
Me to customer 3 "Hello,"
C3 "hello"
Me "phew, I was beginning to think I'd disappeared again"
c3 then comes to the till to pay and tells me how much cheaper the items are online.
me - but you wouldn't have had such a nice conversation if you'd bought them online.
C3 -Well, I might but that would've been a different sort of internet site.
