I really should have asked |
|
I have no idea what preceded this or in fact what followed but the only snatch of the conversation I heard from two elderly ladies on the bus was ".......and was it your real nose?"
This has haunted me for years! |

Not what I was thinking |

Woman on the phone at work: "Just push really hard - you get a bit of resistance at first then... whoosh it goes up really easily."
(I later established she was explaining to her husband how to put up their clothes airer!) |

Benidorm? Benylin? |
|
Slightly unhinged guy: "Benidorm. It's Benidorm all the way for me. Benidorm, Benidorm, Benidorm. I'm a big Benidorm fan. Except they don't do much for kids in Benidorm. Not much for a 3 year old. But I still love Benidorm. When went to Benidorm..."
Pharmacist (interrupting politely) "Thank you, Sir. Enjoy your holiday, Sir."
(Slightly unhinged guy moves off, muttering about Benidorm)
Pharmacist (to me, with bright smile): "Well, that's spoilt Benidorm for me for ever." |
