dogs that have been to the vets and have to wear those lampshade things on their heads

People choosing to ride a bike without gears, brakes or a freewheel! Hilarious! Especially when they fall off in front of lots of people who then point and laugh.

Careful binners, you'll be labeled a racist for comments like that on here! 🙂

hora posting a wanted or for sale advert.

Toddler logic: a conversation with a friends 3 year old boy began with, "Do sharks eat ghosts?" It got weirder after that.

When it is windy and the black bag in a public bin is still attached but ballooning out. WWOOOOOOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHhHAhhahhahahahahh...ha...ha...eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the abandoned push chair outside our village primary school on the first day of school this year.

mum puts younger sibling in back of monstrous and badly parked chelsea tractor then just leaves the push chair out for the pikeys to steal. I pushed it up to the school gates and told one of the teachers about it.

made me smile for some reason.

Tyger - why would he be labeled racist for that observation?

*shakes head*

your post shows that you simply do not understand what racism is.

tyger - yes, I'm waiting for him to turn up and accuse me of racism 🙂

TJ.

I saw a tree in Halifax, and someone had written "TREE" on it in big white paint.

Similarly, a kid of a mate of mine got one of those embossed sticky label producing things from the 70s and labelled her fish tank - "fish tank".

Woohoooooooooooo. Right on cue!!!!

Quite sadly I expect, religious people. Religion is just evil but religious people put a little smile on my face every time they dogmatically follow their faith with their own self imposed little constraints in the belief that it's going to make sure they have a place in heaven.

If god is all powerful he can see inside you, he knows what sort of person you are, you don't have to keep telling him.

A spate of graffiti in our town modified signs to point out that Reg is gay.

On the electricity sub-station thingy: 'Danger of Death' now reads 'Danger of Reg is gay'

On a bridge: The no stopping symbol above 'At any time' now reads 'Reg is gay at any time'

Oh, and the canal bridge, 'Smith is gay'. Could you narrow it down a bit please?

I once made a mini flag out of a coctail stick and put the BT logo on the flag, then proceeded to put stick into a prominent fox turd outside our office (work for a telecoms company BTW).
It made me chuckle!
Was riding a coastal bridleway when i came across a couple of guys who were a bit merry, one was carrying what looked like a rum a coke in one hand and a can of beer in the other. I slow down as i approached and he offers me the drink and says "Jamiesons for the road?", made me chuckle for ages!

muffin tops they arouse/repulse and amuse me

grown up germans waiting for the green light telling them it's safe to cross the road..... you're 56. it's 10pm. the road is clear. FFS...!

free thinking 'geht nicht' (doesn't go).

Kimbers, you want to stick your finger in them?

im not sure what i want to do with them they just make me smile

Similar to kimbers, but somewhat more pleasant - An expensive whale tail spotted on a fine filly. Always raises a.......smile.

can you combime the 2?

Sign in window of my local Poundbuster, "No dog or cat". "Cat" has then been crossed out.

Best not, Kimbers.

Whale tail + Muffin tops = Cheescutter effect.

I've been living there for 8 months now and it still makes me chuckle.

I once saw a female tramp in Lille taking a dump in the middle of a very busy town square, while at the same time having a slanging match with another tramp. No one else but me seemed to notice, t'was very strange indeed.

In Germany its illegal to cross if the green man is not lit and they do get done for it - and Germans are very law abiding

a woman pushing a pushchair with toddler in it through the centre of bolton .stopped at crossing + lifted the whole thing up for pudgy offspring to push the button then stood there all excited waiting for the lights to change.sweet

A female colleague receiving a congratulatory email from a client in russia re. my colleagues newly announced pregnancy. it read

"wonderful news. I am not mother yet but it is wonderful to have a man inside you"

😯
😆

Boarding bob can you help me with this email sent from a Korean vendor to our assistant in 2004?
It was that good I kept it.

Dear,

The sliced raw fish shoes to be late is sorry.

It does not do a mail confirmation well and not to be able with this it appears the same day to be occurring.

The next like this one in order not to be, it will pay attention.

Here I send the No. to your Request.

-----------------------------------------------------

Yes it is, and i abide by that law in busy areas, but in a suburb late at night when there is no traffic about it just looks comical.

Come on TJ. Get into the spirit of things. What amuses you? go on. Do tell 😀

Hora's Marzocchi 'for sale' adverts

Watched a bloke in Bruges obviously stoned out of his mind trying to remember how a bicycle worked, he'd put a foot on the pedal look up, and was clearly expecting to be whizzing along, but hadn't quite remembered that you need to pedal...Then he get off, check everything was working in a comically stoned way, get back on repeat the whole process....We were wetting our pants laughing at this guy.

Saw him later wobbling along with a four pack, so he must have remembered eventually.

binners! You look like a proper Manc sat in a pub. I bet you've been asked if you have any 'knock-off' loads of times 😉

TJ - it was said in jest - doh!

yes they are very law abiding.... but not very free thinking. the state does it for them.

there are even notices under the red man saying "den kinder ein vorbild" or "give the children an example". no, just teach zour kids to cross the road on their own.

We had a parcel delivered from Amazon a while back. It was several books and DVDs, so quite bulky. No-one was in so the postman had tried to "hide" it by putting it under the doormat.

Not sure how exactly he thought that was hidden, but it did make me chuckle.

Two kids strapped into hefty childseats with the driver smoking a cig but of course, with the drivers window open an inch because 'she cares'.

Simple things that make me chuckle are:

Seeing people walk in to glass doors that are pull not push to open
People stumbling on flat and unimpeding pavements
People dropping lunch down their fronts, even more funny when it's down a suit, shirt or blouse business attire.

When someone on the morning commute (on a white On One) catches up with you and tells you you've got a nice bike 🙂

There used to be some grafiti on a bridge near Milton Keynes (I think) on the northbound M1 that stated 'at least we beat the scum sh*t'.

I always wondered who 'the scum sh*t' were and what they were beaten at.

It was there for years but its gone now.

Cycling nuns

I laughed at the Berlingo thread, where someone said that when his mate turned up in his, his son asked if he was disabled 😉

When I was a student in Leeds, there was some graffiti in Hyde Park that made me chuckle every time I saw it. It read:

Tonight Matthew I am going to be Terry Nutkins

Last week in Ireland I saw a car being towed on a rope, all perfectly normal until I noticed the car was being towed backwards with the driver looking over his shoulder to steer it. WTF?

Scrawled on a bin outside the local Grammar School(my Alma mater) were the words:

'Grammer Rules'

Proof if I ever needed it that teaching standards have dropped since I was there!

Warnings on food packages make me chuckle, you know the ones: On a packet of peanuts, 'warning this packet may contain nuts'.

google burkini or burquini. ill say no more.
then google the story about the french swimming pool and burkini...

guys jogged past me once and tripped up and fell to the ground.he immediattly does ten press ups and tried to make out he had meant to do it!cracked me up for hours.

someone in my town felt the urge to write "appocalypse now" on a high up chimmney, only thing is they spelt appocalypse wrongly so stopped and did a second (now correct) attempt below.both have been there for
years... 😆

on my commute to work i saw a lot of colorful characters mainly in the rougher part of town.best was a guy who casually passed me on a pink fold up ladies shopper bike.it was warm so he was in t shirt and jeans like me
but also a full balaclava! only had eye holes!i thought it was a wind up (or a really low budget bank raid!) untill i saw him again a week later 😯

i could go on.i love nutty people!

The packaging for the tyres I received this morning:

I walked past a house called "Chuckle Cottage" - you can't help yourself when you see the sign....

People who pick up their dog shite when out walking then walk till they think no one can see them then dropping the bag...

Graffiti on an old building near me; "Listed Building. Do not vandalise"

And by the same guy(s) on the nearby skate park; "Don't be gay - take drugs".

I see a Banksey peice of art on my way home from paddington train station. It's is truely amazing and makes me smile.

Also I love seeing Punks / Cyber People in Camden.

only thing is they spelt appocalypse wrongly

Sitting on the wheel of people who've overtaken me and quite clearly want me to do my bit, or for me to go away, makes me smile.

On my way home from work...

Huge guys with tiny dogs.

Just remembered another from a window that overlooks a neighbouring police station...

[img] [/img]

Apt 🙂

"I see a Banksey peice of art on my way home from paddington train station."
so what's it look like then?

These lorries always make me smile when I see them about, a rallying call to Scottish arsonists everywhere.

heheh, brilliant 🙂

my friend telling me on the phone last night that he'd just got out of the bath wearing a single blue marigold.

WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY, ALRIGHT!

There used to be a bit of graffitti on Victoria Road in Leeds that said 'are you normal?'. a bit further up the road was another bit asking 'are you sure you're normal?'

Always made me smile on my way to work.

4 30am on the way into work on a very wet pavement getting my laces caught in the D rings of my opposite boot then face planting into a puddle.
this made howl with laughter !!
😳

i work in a council in west london and the the parks team built some huge (for london!) artificial hills with the rubble etc from the old wembley stadium. There really cool and very popular and its a lovely well used green space. These mounds are pretty big as mentioned maybe 40 50 ft high sloped about 20 degrees in gradient and grassed. Well the A40 (very busy road in and out of london) runs right past them and i wet myself when one of the rangers told me they had to go up here to strim one of them because on one of them on the side that faces the road someone drew a MASSIVE schoolboy style 60ft cock n balls in white paint!

Loves it!

Nicky, that's priceless.

There's a new billboard poster outside work for the Alpha Course (religious mumbo jumbo) which asks the question "Does God Exist?" in stark black lettering. Underneath there are three blank tick-box options, "Yes", "No", "Probably".

The day after it went up, local neds had emphatically scrawled a large, bold "X" in the "No" box (showing rare insight, I thought).

Today I noticed that someone else had meekly added a faint, red tick in the "Yes" box.

Christian vandals - brilliant! Society is so complex and nuanced, isn't it?

When I lived in Chorely there was a lot of building work on.
I cycled over a cheeky rail bridge upon which a local yoof had spray painted "fat t*ts".
Made us chuckle no end that this was the best they could come up with.

A whole, brand new, pristine bridge. Blank canvas.
Not "nice..." or "show us you..." etc.

Ah well, happy days.

Bloody Northerners... ;o)

A classic piece of graffiti within certain circles of the aviation world.

Chipps dancing on the latest Eurobike vid gave me a little chuckle this morning

The amount of accident management courtesy cars I saw on the M62 over Saddleworth last night. Eek, all of them driven a mixture of overcareful and with total abandon

Warnings on food packages make me chuckle, you know the ones: On a packet of peanuts, 'warning this packet may contain nuts'.

You are aware that peanuts aren't nuts, but are often made in factories where there ARE nuts and hence the warning is needed for people who are actually allergic to nuts?

NickyB, you have taught me something I didn't know - every time I drove past those cones I always wondered what they are - now I know! Woot!

The phantom Francophile who goes round here with a roll of black tape changing signs from Barnet to Barnét. Makes me grin every time I see another has been done.

"Piss off biggles"

😆

Coffeeking-I did indeed know about the nuts thing, it was just a chuckle example 🙂
