Yesterday in a pub:

Geezer a. 'what do you think of inanimate objects?'
Geezer b. 'Not really thought about them, why?'
Geezer a. 'I'm getting a bit sick of them lying around everywhere'

The first time I read that my mind substituted inanimate for intimate....

I was wondering what kind of 'pub' you were in.

I knew there’d be a thread for this!

On the Overground this evening, four 20-something women get on at Cally Road and Barnsbury and they’re talking about how when they lived in Hong Kong they had a team of servants and “Nancy used to have breakfast ready before we’d even got out of bed”, and “Isaac still hasn’t got used to putting dishes in the dishwasher”.

I got off at Kentish Town West, and I guess they went two stops further.

Some hedge fund types crossing the road in front of me in Mayfair this evening: "Fuck the fire marshall!"

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
