pahahaha! walked into that one!! soemone should start a post of stupid things said on site!
Went to wholesalers to get some tails on friday.
me- 'yea can i get some 25's and 16's'
wholesaler- 'how much?'
me- 'was hoping to get the package where you get some of each?'
wholesaler- 'Yea ok, how much you want of 'em?'
me- 'You'll give me a length? (to choose)'

uproar in the shop! course it was friday afternoon and full of people drinking tea and waiting for 4pm!
me bright red!!!
 
I wanted the ground to swallow me!! it isnt a rare occurence either!! I regularly joke that i shouldnt be allowed in public without supervision!! Half the time my sentence comes out like yoda!

all of the time my sentences come out like ........................... Geordie !!!
 
...and no-one laughs because they can't understand what you say.

All my sentences come out as English, which everyone takes the piddle out of because they all seem to have Tourettes: "I'm going to the effin' wholesalers for some effin' cable and back-effin'-boxes and effin' screws, and some effin' free effin' coffee, innit." How tiresome...

Night night hula hoops?????. How mad is that? Most people have a cup of tea or a sandwich or a hot chocolate for night nights. Hula Hoops, Seriously????
 
@ritchard Burns, which part of electricians guide to building regs would satisfy this problem? As far as I know this guide would refer to bs7671.
I hope Richard doesn't mind me answering, but presumably the page he showed an image of, ie Section 5.7 "Outdoor lighting and power, sheds and garages", specifically 5.7.2 "Fixed cables".

Yes, I'm a greedy little so-and-so and can't resist crisps when I know they are in the cupboard, and end up stuffing my face on them. Mummy would go mental if she knew. Anyway they were only a one-off tonight - I usually have a night-night gin and bitter lemon (50/50). Hmm, may as well have one of those as well. :)

Everyone laughs! I cant even buy stamps anymore, have to get some one to do it for me! First time i bought stamps it took me two agonizing minutes to actually say stamps! was the last time i tried too. I wouldnt swear to a wholesaler

Do you shop at asda?? hula hoops are on special offer! i never usually get hula hoops but the offer was too good.
 
@Kate, you're good fun .... keep away from the Hula hoops and try Horlicks .....

aww thank you! yea some people like having me around just because im guaranteed to make a --- of myself! good job im used to people laughing at me! :) i think i have a tendancy to take over a thread though....sorry!
 
Not Asda, we don't have that here in Guernsey. The H-H multi-packs were two-for-one in the Co-op, so I felt duty-bound to buy some.

Kate: have you seen "The Kings Speech"? There are people who can help, you know! :D

When ever me and Mrs Trev go away for a gig, because no one knows us there I always ask if I can fake tourettes just to see how far I can go before someone objects. She;s never allowed me to thus far :(
 
Hahah, what a misery, she should join in and both have a laugh. I have to admit sometimes when I'm away I put on silly foreign accents, like Swedish or German.
