Me: Do you know what a bottom bracket is?
Non-cyclist friend, at cafe: Yes, you bored me with that information when you ordered your new one earlier in the week!
Me: I have now fitted it to this bike.
Friend: Nope, sorry - your bottom bracket isn't getting any more interesting!

Having a conversation with Mrs V about her getting a part time job, just to get her out of the house
Me: "Did you see, there's a part time job going at the pet shop?"
Mrs V: "Yes, but it's no good for me"
Me: "Why is that ?"
Mrs V: "It says Must Be Flexible"
Me : “and…”
Mrs V : “With MY hips ?”

A car load of yobs goes flying past me out on my bike. Yob #1, leaning out of passenger window:
"Ha haaaaaaaaah - Yer a WAYNE KERR!"
I smiled and shouted back:
"No, I am a COLIN J!"
Yob #1 looked disappointed and confused!

*****: 'Right Doug, when *** comes, don't give him any more seats, unless he shows evidence of the 'agreement you had'
Me: I'll talk to him
*** Duly arrives
Me: Right, ***** is not at all happy with you about this, he sent you a message about it, the want you to take no more.
***: 'What message? I've never seen any and anyway, I was the one who got these for you all, I am only taking the 10 we agreed on and I've only got 5 right now. If ***** has a problem, I'll speak to him about it'.
Me: I know, but...
***: He's a bit of a Bellend anyway
Me: Aye I can't argue with that, ha ha.
*** Loads his car and leaves.
Me: 'I'm for the high - jump now!' 🙄
Me: I'll talk to him

We are on tour with Vanessa at the moment.
This morning grey water needs emptying, fresh water needs refilling and black water needs consigning to oblivion.
Pulled Vanessa up alongside the drain and got the special hose out so the grey water can drain into the drain.
Jobswirth arrives at speed and tells me " you cannot do that and have to use the assigned space for campers."
Why? That was his fuse word.
"Because I tell you! And you are blocking other users from using the facility."
I walk to either side of the van in a very theatrical way and scan the horizon for the hordes of people forming a queue to use the facility.
That rather antagonised him, as I hoped it would.
"I'm not arguing the case with you. You've got to move and use the facility I have directed you to."
Can you imagine how long it took me to coil up the drain hose? Then I got the fresh water hose out to start filling the tank.
Dave, he had a badge, took that rather badly. But it was worth it.
He might have calmed down by now.

Me: No, no, seriously, I must get going.
:*****: Don't be so stupid, let me buy you a Buckie
*****: Gestures at the bar
Me: No, seriously, no!
Barmaid brings over more Buckie (she's already served us... More than once).
*****: What's your name? (I've only said about 25 times).
Me: FML
I did eventually get to escape, trust me and the Barmaid apologised to me as the guy apparently had mental health problems and I was his 'victim' for the evening.

At the weekend I was watching a sports programme on UTV were the presenter pronounced 'oo' as 'i'. She kept referring to penalty sh1t-outs.

It might be more entertaining (if a little disgusting some times) to watch... All those fit young guys (and girls) 😆

Finally teaching my West Country work colleagues how to speak with a proper West Midlands accent, asked today "Kipper tie?" and they responded with various "one sugar", " not too much milk" etc., ... slowly getting there.
