Some people just seem to glide effortlessly through life making things looks easy whilst looking cool in the process. Others seem to flounder over every task, looking like a prize idiot.
Lately I seem to be falling further into the latter category. Small stuff, but things that would just never happen to a Bond.
Today for example:
I go to get something out the freezer, and the other end of the box is open, scattering food everywhere.
Earlier, I'm pushing a wheelbarrow up a ramp to offload it. Ramp slips and contents dumped on the floor.
I pick the trolley in the shops with the wonky wheel that only turns right. For unknown reasons, I decide I can cope, which is going fine till I clip an end display knocking a few things over.
Nothing major, but enough to mark me out as a Bean.
I'm a Bean.
Went to the shower block on the caravan site last week, it has a double door with 'push' on each one, so I pushed the left one but it wouldn't open. I then thought the cleaners must be in so I wandered twice round the other toilet block only to find it was just toilets, no showers. I then noticed a bloke do what I'd just done, only he then tried the other door, which was open.
EEJIT!
As resourceful and slick as Bond, but unfortunately look more like Bean.
Bond.
If Bond was to walk full force into a patio door carrying a **** off drill case at the same time.
Or kick a 90yr old tortoise across the kitchen floor by accident.
Or clean his teeth and, unexplainably, throw the toothbrush in the bog.
Or go swimming for half an hour with his phone still in his pocket.
Or totally **** his finger by simply carrying bags of logs.
Actually, I'll stop now.
I'd like to think Bond, possibly more Bean but probably Monsieur Hulot happily carrying on whilst chaos of my making blights those around me.
Bean definitely Bean .
Which one can't manage to attract wealth for toffee? That one.
Looks wise, definitely Bean.
Bond. Definitely.
Good call eddiebaby, another Hulot here but veering towards the Clouseau as I get older.
To stay within the parameters of the OP, Bean.
a talentless posh guy with gadgets or a rubber faced slapstick mime?
Er... neither thanks.
