It makes me think of when you find a £20 note in your jacket from last time. Technically it’s yours, but it’s like a gift to yourself

Put Christmas lights up all round the outside of the house and the kids went nuts in the garden.

Was just in the shop and I heard a school kid tell his mate 'I'll volley yer nan'!

Takes me back to the time I was on the bus to work and another kid said 'He fingered her with a bag of skittles'.

The ancient Scandanavian art of kulning. It's like something straight out of a fairytale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvtT3UyhibQ

Were they pointing at you when they said that?

I knew a girl at school who proudly admitting getting herself off once on a frozen fish finger.

She didn't have many friends and it felt like this boast was a way to boost her up in popularity. It did not.

She also used to share a really blurred printed photo of her kissing some guy (close up of tongue entering mouth), this was when we were like 14-15, to 'prove' she had kissed a guy.

Like lightning someone commented "snogging your brother doesn't count" and that became a whole thing. She was picked on a lot at school, as was I and I was weird too but not THAT weird.

Come on Chimpy, I'm a deviant, not a pervert!

Honestly, my shop. After 30 years of doing something just for the money, I now have a job I love that I adore turning up for every day and leave happy from every night.

You’re a lucky man, Colin. Not a lot of people can make that happen for themselves. Well done.

Related, I have a new job and it’s a good one that pays and, importantly, when I wound down my own business and tried to make a list of places I’d like to work this was the only company that made the list.
