You have to be careful, I jokingly suggested Sophronisba or Ozymandias to my stepdaughter and when young master G was born he was called Oscar - his dad said he had thought of it when I said Ozymandias. Well, Oscar's not my favourite name by a long way but I suppose I've got used to it...

When my sister was born, she cried a lot and when we went to visit, she was wheeled out of the maternity ward in disgrace for setting all the other babies off. When the lady in the next bed asked Mum "what are you going to call her?", Mum said through gritted teeth, "Decibel".

"Oh!" Said the woman, "that's nice!"

Was sitting in an Indian restaurant the other evening and overheard the following:-

Waiter: are you ready to place your order?
Diner 1: yes, I will have the steak please.
Diner 2: I will have Chop Suey
Waiter: pardon sir?
Diner 2: Chop Suey please
Waiter: this is an Indian restaurant sir we do not do Chop Suey
Diner 2: ah ok. Well just do something similar.

No idea what he was finally server but he seems to enjoy it lol.

Mum: God, why is email so slow!
Me: Are you using the website or a client?
Mum: It's an email
Me: Yes, but are you going through the website or are you accessing it with a client?
Mum: No, I'm replying to it
Me: But are you going to the http://www.*****.net website or are you using something like outlook?
Mum: What's the difference?
Me: One is the website, the other is a client

Lunchtime conversation in work. It was said big project always fail / get cancelled because the directors keep changing their minds as they have the attention span of a toddler.

Someone immediately leapt to the defence "don't agree with that. My little boy when he was a toddler assembled a whole book out of scraps of paper & pictures. He really stuck at it."

The defender wasn't even joking either.

Class !

A telephone conversation with a company director I used to do business with..play golf with and had a good friendly relationship with, havnt seen them for a couple years and was phoning with a view to doing some business again with my new employer..
me..having spoken to his wife who occasionally works there..
'Sorry ****, I spoke to your wife, and couldnt belive I couldnt remember her name'
'I know, i struggle to remember her name as well'
Me..:laugh:...
'How is **** ?' (his partner when i was doing business)
'Retired, silly old tw*t :tongue:'
'Bout time too' :tongue:
'Remember that ginger headed Italian that used to be our rep ?'
'Yeah, FFS, dont tell me he's back with you guys'
'Yep, thought we'd got rid of him for good...he's back, like a bad rash'
'And ****?....suppose hes still with you ?'
'Cant get rid of him, god knows i tried :whistle:'

all spoken with mirth..theyre a good bunch and ive known them for years...looking forward to doing business again.

Me, cycling through the town on my Kona Ute, on the way to pick up my daughter from prep school.

Hipsterish Man stops me 'Do I recognise you from somewhere.'
Me, squinting a bit 'No I don't think so.'
Him 'Did you used to be in a commune?'
Me 'no I think I'd remember that.'
Him 'oh it was just there was this bloke with a custom bike there. Must be a kindred spirit then.'
Me 'probably'

In his defence I do need a haircut and a shave.
