Overheard in Ceroc...

Just got sent this by a friend:
http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/

(Do post up the favourites from the ones you see on it: Mine is :"As my grandmother used to say, you've got one f***able ass")

And I thought, why not have an 'overheard at Ceroc' thread in a similar vein?
So I put this one up.

Immediately off thread, but heard in work this week:

"I'm not a big enough ringmaster to be in charge of you bunch of clowns!"

[drathzel]

"I'm not a big enough ringmaster !"

oooh er missus! :rofl:

Overheard in the car on the way to Southport,

"I started it off, but couldn't keep it up, so Lory finished him off"

well it made me laugh...

(oooh my sides ached from laughing! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :tears: :rofl: )

Walking down the street with a certain female Ceroc Demo & Forumite on Friday night, we pass a homeless person asking for financial assistance (PC enough description for you?). As we pass by, the lady in question says words to the effect of:

"I don't have any change, I feel really bad just passing someone by like that, I always want to do something to hel - LOOK AT THOSE SHOES!!!!!"

as she dives across the pavement to drool over said sparkly items in an expensive shop window :rofl:

Please note - just because the shoes were sparkly does not mean this was me!

I also am glad I have an alibi. I always think if you're going to get dance shoes, they might as well be sparkly ones.

Also- re the homelessness thing- I've helped out at a night shelter before and in the training session they were very clear on the fact that you should not give money- give food, or give directions to the local homelessness drop-in, but money is a bad idea- and the guys who run this nightshelter know what they're talking about.

So if you do feel bad about the situation, give money to your local homelessness charity/night shelter- or find the nearest homelessness Charity Shop and buy shiny things from them (sparkly tops for Ceroc, for instance). And buy the Big Issue. It shouldn't have to exist, but as it does, it's a good thing to support.

I also have some experience working with homeless charities, and would like to emphasise that giving homeless people money only keeps them on the streets - if they have no money, then they will have to seek help from a shelter, a hospital, whatever - which gives them access to the advice and medical attention that they all need.

the speaker was referring to my wife "not allowing me to dance" with her friend

I will not go into anymore detail, I just want the forumite(s) it concerns to get the message :angry:

[Sparkles]

Ah, OK, with you again now. I misunderstood your earlier post. Sorry :flower:

Another one:
"I went to {Venue X} and the music was so bad I thought it must have been a live set"

(OK, I thought it was funny)

:) If anyone asks Fi if they can dance with me she tends to look at them with sheer increduality. Maybe they take that as a 'no' sometimes :)

Had to add this, not technically overheard, but it was such a great line I didn't want to miss the opportunity:

"Asking a girl to dance and finding that she cannot follow is like courting a beautiful woman, finally getting her into your bed and then finding that she is actually a man..."

(obviously would only be a bad thing for male leads :whistle: )

[David Bailey]

"Have you got a sister, [female forumite]?"
"Yes, why?"
"I saw her dancing recently at [dancing comp] - she's not as good as you, is she?"
"Errr... that was me..."

:rofl:
