pie_and_a_pint Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 So, the traditional 'funny things overhead this year' thread! Here's a couple to start: Wednesday lunchtime, Big Ground. Guys from the Terrence Higgins Trust are walking along shouting 'Condoms! Get your free condoms!'. Bloke in the tent next to us replies 'I'm ginger, I don't need any!' Friday, at Goan Fish Curry. Chap is just polishing off the remains of his curry, and says to his friend 'that was epic, I'm definitely going back for another'. His mate says 'yeah, we should definitely come back'. 'No, I mean I'm going back for another one now' and gets back in the queue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not overheard as much as an absurd comment, when questions went to the floor during a panel at Leftfield Questioner: "This doesn't seem very representative" Billy Bragg: "It's called Leftfield mate, what do you expect?" That kept me chuckling for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nottm Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not overhead but the look on my rather mainstream mates face when mr b appeared in croissant neuf on thursday. It was a picture. Only to be completely won over after about 2 songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Steve Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Standing in the compost toilet queue yesterday morning around 10am (Rivermead) waiting patiently for a toilet door to open. The next one opens and out walks a girl carrying a pint of milk followed a few seconds later by a lad. The Welsh guy in the queue in front of me shouts over "just back from Narnia?"

MrPink Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Went to the med centre near arcadia on thursday morning (had twisted my knee, actually saw a qualified physio in 20 mins, great service!). As we were waiting outsidea securityguy walks past and we hear fromhis radio "just an update guys, the girl that was running around her campsite naked last night is now conscious and is coherent this time. Result." Must have been a hell of a hangover/come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I know we are mostly against the flag culture on this group(for good reason) but did anyone else see the one with a picture of oscar pistorius with the line "shoot the runner" Genius. Flag of the week. I had to take a knee I was laughing that much. any others? ??? I am trying to understand how this flag would get a wry smile, let alone have you laughing so much that you 'had to take a knee'. What is so funny about it that it warrants the accolade of being genius? Genuine question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
