(I could say this, but I don't think the guy down the road would appreciate it since he looks grumpy and is busy with a mop and bucket ... )

We have had about 6 weeks with hardly any rain but it was finally forecast for last night. Why did you leave it until yesterday afternoon to take half the roof off the extension at the back of your house and then leave it uncovered overnight?

Pot, meet kettle.

You've won the World Cup and been disturbing the peace for nearly three hours and counting. Just remind me how long it is since you won the TdF?

And now you've remembered the words to La Marseillaise, could you go treat that as the last song and go home and get ready for work tomorrow?

Once the photos in your windows have been completely bleached of red, and mostly bleached of yellow, it's time to replace them with monochrome from the 50s or new images that reflect the latest trends - even though presumably they are beyond your skills.

(yeah, I forgive you for not including any man bun photos )

A brief, if perhaps not entirely scientific study, has preliminarily indicated to me that there is actually a use to the man-bun phenomenon.

Whilst in strange towns or other locals, we've found them to be a reasonable indicator, if viewed through a window, of the reliability of the coffee in establishments which sell such a beverage.

I'm in favour of man buns. They are the thing that has finally stopped me, in my dotage, of fancying 23 year olds.

Weren't the whispy beards enough to put you off.

'Give him the heave ho me'duck, he's trying to domineer you'

Stood in a shop, young couple (around 20 YO perhaps) are behind me in the queue. He looks the part, immaculate casual sports gear, immaculate trainers, immaculate haircut....all looking top notch....until you hear him...
'You really need to get your hair up baby'
She replied something in the negative, he continued...
'It'll be better baby, blah blah blah
She uttered a few negative words again, she didn't seem keen on the idea.
'I just NEED you to do this for me baby'
He then stood right behind her and placed his hands right over her shoulders/neck, a little too close to her cleavage at which point she squirmed a bit...obviously uncomfortable.
'You just need to chill' he continued.
None of it was aggressive, just overbearing, done with deliberate intent (IMHO)

Her feelings didn't appear too high on his agenda. Tos...

Do you have a death wish? It may be only 19:30 on a mid-summer evening but there is a huge black cloud over us causing extremely gloomy conditions on the busy M62. It is raining so hard that spray thrown up by vehicles has reduced visibility to 50 metres. You are a driving instructor so you really ought to know that you need your lights on. That's the third vehicle in 30 seconds that has swerved from the middle lane to the outside lane to avoid ploughing into the back of you. ARE YOU MAD - SWITCH YOUR LIGHTS ON NOW!

Trust us to sell the house the one summer in 30 that is so dry it causes cracks in the plaster.
The surveyor will have fun with that tomorrrow!

I'm going to regret asking, but wtf is a man-bun ?
