    I've just seen a fine example this morning. It made me grin through the rainy commute.

    As I was dropping the kids off at school, a woman pulled up next to me, also depositing her offspring. She was driving the most ridiculously chavved-up Fiat Punto I've ever seen. In the words of Pauline Calf: "**** me! It looks like you've covered it in superglue and ram-raided Halfords!!"
    Enormous spoiler, Skirts, blacked out windows, big ****-off air intake on the bonnet, exhaust pipe you could fit a water melon up.

    She gets out to reveal full Islamic garb. Headscarf, veil, the lot. The visual contradiction didn't half make me giggle on a grey rainy morning

    Your examples please….

    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.

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

    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.

    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".

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
