Walking past the Marina on a still and quiet evening, voices carrying across the water.
Dad: On a rib talking to daughter in a sailing dinghy, "Just keep it over to the left and sit where you are"
Girl: DAAAD! I NEED THE TOILET.
There was no answer from dad and me and the dog even sat on a bench to watch developments.

A bit of background: I was cycling down the road, coming past the exit of a garage (petrol station type, not private). As I was approaching, a car came up to the stop line, I had gained some good momentum so I decided I wouldn't let him go. As I was about to go past, he drove straight out in front of me and I had to do an emergency stop, to such an extent that I felt my back wheel kick out.
Dialogue 1:
Me: IDIOT!!
A bit more background: I sped up, in an attempt to catch up with the car to have words with the driver, however he was too quick. About a mile down the road I did however see him turning into a car park so I thought as I had time to kill before work I would speak to him after all.
Dialogue 2:
Me: Excuse me, you pulled straight out in front of me at the garage!
Him: Was that by the airport?
Me: Yes, you came really close to hitting me back then.
Him: Sorry, I didn't see you
Me: I was a couple of metres away from you, if you couldn't see me then you shouldn't be driving.
Him: You should be wearing something brighter, I'm a cyclist myself and wouldn't wear that.
(Now, not that I don't believe him but he clearly looked like someone who enjoyed their bacon roles)
Me: It's the middle of the day! How could you not have seen me, *I point up to the end of the car park*
Me: Can you see that car?
Him: There's nothing wrong with my eye sight, you should of worn something brighter, I'm sorry.
Me: As I say, it is the middle of the day, just next time look more carefully, since that was really close.
(I was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and shorts, so obviously not the fluorescent yellow that he was probably expecting me to wear, however it was the middle of the day (not too sunny to be blinding though), and no other car had any problem).

On one of our 'Garmin magical mystery tours again'... (these being totally new routes and my OH having picked up the wrong map...
)
OH: trust you to find the only hill around here and cycle us to the very top of it...
Me:
Me sometime later: Do you want to plan these Sunday routes in future?
OH (silence)... ponders situation: no
We were somewhere on the Wirral and I will admit we had just cycled up the only hill anywhere around and got to its highest point

So a friend & I are going on a highish paced metric century. The friend in question isn't the slimmest guy you'll meet but is an accomplished medium-fast paced rider that can put in 18-20mph averages for 12-15 hours a on flat terrain.
Roadie: Are you sure he'll be able to keep up?
Me: Very sure!
Roadie: But look at him
Me: A phrase about books & covers springs to mind.
... 90 miles latter at orwell hill on the A603.
Friend: Feel like attacking this little kicker?
Me: Sure!
Roadie: Oh, come on! You're kidding me right? This is 10 miles till home!
Me: Shall I remind you of our discussion earlier?
Roadie: f**k off!
Me & Friend:
Friend: After you!
Roadie: <censored>

Cycling home today with my husband in tow (he's aching a touch from the 80 miler we did yesterday)... I hear this shout
OH: You've got one **ll of a wiggle on today
Me (thinking, what's he on about, thought I was holding the bike steady...)
few moments later once he has caught me up and just as we are drawing alongside 2 (male) pedestrians
Me: Is that your way of saying you can't keep up with me?
OH: Yes
Me:
Shall I ease up for you a touch? (as I halve the pace for him)
OH: boy some people don't half go slowly....

Just now, Hover fly got home from work:
"I nettled myself today, doesn't half hurt!"
"Whereabouts?"
"In the ear."
How the heck can someone working in a museum nettle their ear?

During a visit to the TB specialist, chest clinic, more meds, bloods, eye tests etc..
'Hows your excercise on the bike doing ?'
'Middling, no time to really work att it, work has been mental and TBH, my mojo is a bit lacking...although surprisingly I still retain some fitness after 2 years, but not the stamina'
'Ok, we'll take the positive from that...I'm not going to xray you today, I don't expect much further improvement to your chest, the damage has been done but obviously, not enough to really impede you badly. You're doing ok, thats good.'
'Yep, I still feel restriction in my lung, but the wife remarked the other day..you're not puffing anymore when you go upstairs, she sees an improvement, so im happy with that'
Later...at a second sitting of bloods...
'Do you get many people pass out ?'...as I watch the needle go in, it doesnt bother me at all.
'Oh yes...blah blah blah..and the worst are usually ones with loads of tattoo's. ? Work that one out'
'Extraordinary

Jobs worth: The idea is to save energy so open your blind & turn your light off
Me: But if I open my blind I can't see anything on my computer, thus get no work done.
Jobs worth: But we all need to save energy
Me: By not getting any work done? If you've got a problem talk to xxxxx about it, that's the head of school!
Jobs worth: Mutters something and mopes off.

Beware still barracking the guy that has already apologised, even if he's done so conditionally.
One such incident, I didnt think he'd apologised to my expectation.
He thought he'd apologised..although he qualified his apology a bit
I barracked him a tad more while he had been a bit humble.
His humble mood suddenly changed to really quite irate...'I fkin said sorry didnt I '
I realised I should have graciously accepted the qualified apology .
I rode off..not sure whether I'd done more harm than good.

Background - DD is five. She knows about the TdF jerseys because we live in Yorkshire and they were everywhere a few weeks ago, obviously.
Driving home after dropping OH off at work, we were going slowly up a not-too-steep hill for no apparent reason. As the traffic thinned we could see a cyclist in a polka dot jersey making reasonably heavy weather of the hill.
DD is learning sarcasm:
"Oh. Here he is. King of the Mountains look."
Made me laugh anyway
