Things We Like

[mente captus]

the street we are living in here in cologne. it is very unique and managers and doctors are living door to door to middle class families and also social buildings are in there.

our kids are all going to the same Kindergarten and they all playing together, no matter which colour their skin have or how rich/poor they are.

I like how some people find hub caps that have been dislodged and place them against a wall in the near vicinity of where the hub cap might have become dislodged so that in the event that the owner of the hub cap returns s/he can have a happy re-union. I see it quite a bit in my town and I've no reason to believe that people from other towns around the UK don't undertake this philanthropic gesture. I think as a nation we should be proud of these selfless acts. I tried to find a photo on Google to illustrate this but alas could not.

I shall get my coat now and have a hard think about my life.

I like that too.

Yeah, they do the same here in Walsall, only issue is that one has been there for about 2 months now... I don't think its owner is going to return.

Ungrateful bastard.

Hubcaps are for life, not just for Christmas.

This could go into the Hate thread too but I think it's more funny then anything.

Went to my partners sisters weddiing this weekend. I was doing quite well, not drinking to much and not saying or doing anything controversial. I have a history of causing havoc at these events normally although not
since I've been with this girlfriend. I'd been quite aware of this so I was watching my behaviour.

Then I managed to knock the grooms elderly mum over on the dancefloor and nearly fall over her myself!

A mate of mine got married (a week last Saturday*) and they had splashed out on a wedding dress for the occasion and the plan was to sell it on. For the deposit on a house......

Another mate managed to get so drunk that he didn't notice knocking a bottle of red wine down her back, so it was totally saturated before anyone realised what had happened.







* Random Macc Lads reference.. The wedding was in 2002!

See also, finding a kids shoe, glove or vital cuddly toy and putting it on a wall to be easier to find. I've no idea who did it for our little'uns bunny, but we remain eternally grateful!

And finally...

Having a Merlin Entertainment Annual Pass so you can just think 'afternoon at Alton Towers' and naff off up to CBeebies land with a short layover on Smiler.

Coming back to my flat to find a horse standing outside the front door, refusing to let anyone in. Only in Yorkshire...

Making shop keepers lose their senses by presenting them with Scottish notes. £12 worth of shit results in £17 change when paying with a jock twenty. Result.

Bacon flavour wheat crunches.

Freshly laundered bed linen

I look forward to winning the Euromillions jackpot sometime, got my eye on some 10,000 thread count £399 pillowcases from Harrods. Fucking baller.

Cheesy chips

Chas 'n' Dave

That's album I have too. It's not exactly the best music around but never fails to make me smile and sing along. I had it on last night whilst driving to Leeds from Manchester, lovely stuff.

Indoor football. It's great.

I like words / phrases that you don't hear for ages, and then an event comes along and it's trotted out constantly.

barring - comes along once a year during the snooker world championship. "Ronnie is 45 ahead with only 45 left on the table. Ken can only tie from from here... barring snookers."

"The only people who ever 'remain coy' are unmarried Victorian daughters in melodramatic fiction, and Arsene Wenger regarding transfers."

Sport is full of these isn't it. "Brace" is one I love.

Sam Herlihy was the singer in Hope of the States. Good band back in the day. Now does cooking.

 

[Freakyteeth]

Brace is a nice one. One of my old friends, Stephen (if anyone has read the embarrassing things you do around Football Manager thread you'll already be acquainted with his worm celebration), used to believe that two goals in football was in fact a hat-trick. I've never seen anyone so confused as when it was explained to him that the expression "Robbie Fowler is on a hat-trick now" after his second goal, didn't actually mean he had a hat-trick, merely that he was on one.

I had a student (pre-intermediate level of English), lets call him Estaban, ask me about the meaning of lest last week. I thought he must have been confusing another word (maybe less or least) so asked him what context he had seen the word in. So he showed me a photograph (that he had taken) of a flag on a building near his house. I explained to him that it was quite an uncommon word, which means in case or 'en caso de que...' and that in his photo it was used in reference to never forgetting the war, which he seemed happy enough with. Anyway, an hour later after class I overheard him chatting with another student from a higher class, saying "I bring the umbrella today, lest it rains" with a beaming great smile. He has used it in every class since.

As an aside, have you ever read The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N mnb? Something tells me you would enjoy it.

Written from the perspective of Mr Parkhill, a teacher in an English school for foreign immigrants to 1930s America. Hyman Kaplan, charismatic and extroverted, is one of his students, who dominates proceedings with his creative and warped view of the English language (and especially its grammar).

I love the word discombobulate and using it to do that to others - yeah I don't have many friends...
