Give me some dialogue from your day

[Lullabelle]

Speaking to my colleague earlier, she mentioned how old their system was

S: this was set up in 1982
Me: I was still at school then
S: I wasn't even born then
Me: Thanks for making me sound like an old git
S: oh sorry no I didn't mean it like that

I was sat on the big rock overlooking St. Michael's Mount, watching the tide wash over the causeway. There were lots of children having fun clambering over the rock.

A boy about 10 found a nice bit to sit on and announced to his family on the sand below :

"I'm the King of the World !
I've got a nice bit of stone to sit on for my throne
And the first new announcement is...
No more school, just fun all the time "

Happy with that, he carried on exploring.

He was sat where the person in the red gilet is.

I remember seeing that on the first day of my LEJOG last year.

It’s very beautiful down there, almost like the Mediterranean in places.

Bloody hilly for a Cambridgeshire lad though!

Our 2 YO granddaughter is a hoot, she's always had....but it's getting worse, a tendency to stretch the final word in a sentence out...like '.grandad want coffeeeeeee' if she's playing with her play kitchen..
or
'want mommeeeeee'

it cracks us up and I suspect we're not helping by imitating it when it makes us laugh, which just reinforces it in all probability.
Her mum said yesterday ..
'God help us, the way it's going, by the time she's 6 it's going to take her five minutes to say one word '

In the supermarket. Buying a fresh rotisserie chicken.

“Do you want Extra-Tasty or plain?”

“What’s the difference?”

“One’s Extra-Tasty, and the other isn’t..."

Overheard on the Heath... "He always used to be such a great raconteur, and now he can barely find the words to ask if you'd like a cup of tea..."

All the best with that!

Yes. Out of Cornwall now.

My 6 year old son saw a picture of R2-D2. And said look there’s ITV2.

Oh how we all laughed.

Lovely Wife: "Just get on and order the expletive deleted things."

Me: "Ok."

I've been procrastinating (over researching) several reasonably sized purchases from the Internet and Lovely Wife has, as usual, got fed up with me.

Sometimes you catch someone and you got them hook line and sinker.
Talking to the mum of some of our grandkids. Love her to bits, she's such a character but a bit dim sometimes...and she'd tell you that herself.
We were talking about feeding the dog and I started a story....
'Yeah, we had one dog, wouldn't stop eating so I cut his food down'
She listened intently as I continued....
'Yeah, after a month I was feeding him just twice a week.'
'Noooo, twice a week !!!! '
'Yeah, sounds extreme but he was fine. So I cut him down a bit and got him to one feed a week'
'You can't do that the poor thing '....'was he ok ?'
'Nah, he died just as I was getting to that point, shame really, I was starting to save a fortune...stupid mutt'

Her eyes narrowed ....'i can't believe I fell for that old load of c**p'
