I had a "wish the ground would swallow me " moment let alone look like a plonker this week . I was talking to this women and I thought she said " I'm going to see my friend she's a emo ' I thought I know what an emo is I've heard my teenage daughter say their like a goth . Anyway I said oh yer one of those that dresses like a dead person ! To which she repeated only a bit slower " I'm going to see my friend she's had chemo ! Still cringing thinking about it now ,It's no good getting old and deaf .

Lol I remember was a few of us at a show and I spoke about going to a rave the next day. Bloke said I've got some disco biscuits in the car if you want em. To which I replied nah your alright mate ive plenty of red mills at home. He looked at me abit funny but as it was a dog show and I heard biscuits I thought he just meant dog food.

I would not take anything from that, I would say that there could possibly be still rabbits left in the holes that the dog marked. If in doubt trust the dog.

When I was a lad the term 'bunk up' didn't mean what it does now, and was used regularly, especially for scrumping or climbing trees... the term sort of stayed with me as I got a little older.

bunk-up/ˈbʌŋkʌp/

noun

1. a helping push or pull up.

 

Anyways, I was in a shop, up at the counter and asked the woman if I could have a look at something on one of the upper shelves. Being a short woman, she couldn't quite reach, so as a pleasantry I said "what you need is a set of short steps, or a bunk up". The f**king look she gave me... I reckon I was glowing bright red... I just turned araound and walked out the shop.
