Moonrakers Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I know there has been a similar thread, but I can't find it. So I am in 7-11 buying stuff, I reach the counter and what should arrive at the till next to me: Some tall, lanky English knob. Singing "Wish you had a girlfriend who's hot like me", whilst ordering a pack of cigarettes. Feeling somehow affiliated to this tool, due to sharing the same nationality, I found myself shrinking in an attempt to distance myself from him. It was bordering upon unbearable. The girls behind the counter were giggling, clearly out of embarrassment but this numpty is reading their giggles as an indication that he is being a fantastically cool entertainer of the random masses. Just as I thought that things could get no worse..... He does a twirl, whilst stood at the counter. As if my fellow countrymen haven't acquired a bad enough reputation already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well you can take comfort in the fact that he was not doing a rendition of 'tip toe thru the tulips' with his ballerina impersonation and ask you to join in. People watching can be entertaining if taken in the right manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Nice one. Could have been worse. Could have been a fat, old, hairy-backed tattooed git donning a natty singlet number beckoning you to join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Why would any living creature sing that song (using the term "song" in it's loosest context as in "the bullfrogs are singing loudly tonight")? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonrakers Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 At the time, I was more concerned about the twirl than the song. Although your points are valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWalkingMan Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Actually, this sounds pretty funny. The guy was not causing trouble, not starting a fight, not yelling and screaming... just singing a bit. It actually sounds OK. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Swindon, eh. Is it as boring as it's made out to be? Only ever had a cursory glance on the way to see the queen. Isn't Justin Hayward a Swindonian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonrakers Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Moody Blues... You know what.... I quite like moody blues yet to this very day I had no idea that Justin Hayward was a Swindonian. You learn something new everyday Perhaps I was blinded by the fame of other idols such as Melinda Messenger, Billie Piper and Mark Lamarr.

elkangorito Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Moonrakers, have you ever tried ignoring people? Or do you secretly enjoy upsetting yourself about things, which you can't control? And I thought the Thais had 'loss of face' problems!!! You are worse!!! You weren't directly confronted by this imbecile & yet you still chose to be 'embarrassed'. Edited July 16, 2010 by elkangorito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopnow Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The most embarrassing ones are the "millionaires" wink wink, nudge nudge, you know what I mean, dick heads that haven't got a pot to piss in, in the real world. Pattaya seems to be full of them, egg yolk stained, vest wearing bullshitters that look like extras from the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest."
