Dead people need a place to sit too!

  Two schoolboys board a bus. One sits in the disabled/priority seat section while the other glares at him and yells: "You're not meant to sit there! Those seats are for the deceased!"

The dairy air.

  Two drunk lads walking down Chiswick High Street at 10:30pm. Guy 1 is filming his friend on the camera phone.

Guy #1: "Jonny, tell me a story".

Guy #2: drops his pants and mimicks speaking through his butt buy pulling apart his butt cheeks and says in a voice that I imagine should belong to some war hardened general: "I don't even like you".

I found that hilarious, am I wierd?

dun-dun dun-dun durrrr

  "Ride of the Valkyries" pumping at 100db through the doorway of the ladies loos at Stratford Bus Station.

The smell of disinfectant and piss, combined with the music of..er.. a regimental march. I nearly wet myself laughing. Luckily not, as the mens were shut (as usual).

Jesus lives in Woho!

 
Big black man with no shirt on walking down Westbourne Park Road dragging a big wooden crucifix over his shoulder.

He gets to Portobello Road, folds his crucifix up, does some shopping in Tesco, unfolds his cross and continues on his way.

No one blinks.

Gold medal for that announcer!

  Announcer on DLR:

"Welcome to Stratford, home of the Olympics in 2012. Unfortunately, you have arrived six years too early. In the meantime, you can entertain yourselves in Metropolis, which should keep you amused for six years..."

Quaint Little England

  On a visit to Texas I attended a wedding with my hosts.

The groom was an officer in the US military preparing for his first asignment overseas, which just happened to be England. I overheard the following conversation:

Guest to Groom: "So man, I heard you sold your Harley"

Groom: "Yeah man, that hurt so bad, but no way can I take it with me to England, those cobbled streets would destroy it dude."
