Were you in full Lycra gear?
That reminds me, I watched Gogglebox on the TV last Friday evening and one of the couples who make up the previous
week's ' Great telly. ' critics, were having a conversation where the camera is showing the er...'traditionally built' husband dressed in racing shorts and top about to go out on a ride, his recumbent wife from the couch said you're not going out in those, the neighbours will have a field day. Go and put some proper shorts on !'.
I always get a laugh aloud moment at some point in the show, though having watched it for a few years, it appears to have become more contrived. Dave one of the show's family's Rottweilers is the star to me, if any animal documentaries are being shown it goes nuts in real time. Very funny.

I think the funniest bit is the positions the dog can achieve without falling off his lap.

Sex ban for Kush the red panda

The measure has been taken ahead of the breeding season, after last year's failed attempt to apply contraceptive measures to his partner, Sara.

I descended to the lower deck, to find the first hour of the journey accompanied by teenage choral sing-alongs of "Dancing Queen" and the like! Don't know why it was all 60/70's stuff, but quite enjoyable :wink:

No. Though I suppose it could have been the children/grand children of former coal miners coming out :wink:. Didn't look to see if they were in lycra. It was just a rather good choral performance from the upper deck, for a full 30-40 minutes :)

I smiled at a line in an advert for a company which repairs cosmetic damage to cars.

It's the poor what gets the blame

Isn't it a blooming shame?

Maybe it did just that.

Reminds me of an incident that happened to my workmate.

One morning he didn't turn up for work -- turned out while driving into work he'd hit a cow that broke out of a field in front of him. Wrote the car off, he was unhurt.

When he was explaining all this the next day he said " it just charged out like a bull " .

He never lived it down.

The cow, I believe, just wandered off and went back to munching grass at the side of the road while my mate contacted the police to find out who owned it. The farmers insurance sorted it out after some bother.

Dead straight road too -- just charged out on him "like a bull".

No Dave I thought you said a cow?

A very long time ago a friend of mine, driving his Ford Capri one very dark moonless night, accidentally collided full-on with a fully grown deer stag running across the road.
The animal unfortunately died soon after the hit, and the Capri wasn't let off lightly either.

However the conversation would often go:

You hit a Stag... what a Triumph Stag?

No a deer.

Oh you hit an old dear? poor woman!

My wife said that about a dustbin once, after it removed a wing mirror.
