I had one the other day. Got in the lift at work two guys already in there, one guy head to toe in Hi-viz, helmet on and folded brompton beside him. The other guy turns to him and says "You back cycling again then?"

My son deliberately did that repeatedly with his increasingly exasperated mother in Poundland once when he was going through his irritating phase. At first she found it mildly amusing. By the end she was prepared to face manslaughter charges.

Yes, but how much WAS it??

Walking along, carrying my brush

'Oh so you are going Curling then'

Naw, I'm going to do some cleaning, what do you think?

Mrs 3BM was looking for something in the fridge last night, I asked her if she'd found it yet - "oh yes" she said "I just like looking in the fridge because it's really interesting"

Showed up at my MIL's last week, 15 miles into a headwind and pure pi**ing rain, i get through the door literally dripping wet.

"Is it raining out?"
i reply sarcastically from a rapidly expanding puddle "No i decided to go for a swim in the mersey on the way over"


Pffffft.


people do have a nasty habit of asking bloody stupidly obvious questions sometimes, like in work "Have you been away?"
"No i've been invisible"

"Ah! I see you've gone for the gammon! Are you having lunch then?". (No, I'm just chewing it for fun, I'm going to regurgitate this lot in a minute).

"Ah! I see you've cycled here! Do you enjoy cycling then?" (No, I ****ing hate it with a passion).

This time of the year you always get the usual "Isn't getting dark early" or "Isn't it getting colder" crowd.
Yes I know, it happens every year about this time. It is called winter.

I was part of a conversation like that in the supermarket on Tuesday. I found myself thinking like you just said, but also, I thought, well, at least we're not so removed from the seasons that we don't notice. I think it's just a natural instinct to mark the passing of time and seasons. Once upon a time it would have mattered, really mattered, whether you had the harvest in and enough stores, and we've just not lost the need to talk about it.

Interesting. I never thought of it like that. Thank you.
