Why do people step off the top of the escalator and then stand still, gazing round, wondering where to go? If you are behind them on the escalator you have nowhere to go other than straight into their back.

Then they glare at you as if you are the clumsy, thoughtless one.

Why do idiots cut a junction when turning right before they can see down the road they are turning into.

Why is it mostly women that get their children in and out of the car on the roadside.
Braindead!

Could be a song for Tim-bob....

How sweet to be an Idiot,
As harmless as a cloud,
Too small to hide the sun
Almost poking fun,
At the warm but insecure untidy crowd.

How sweet to be an idiot,
And dip my brain in joy,
Children laughing at my back,
With no fear of attack,
As much retaliation as a toy.

How sweet to be an idiot, how sweet.

I tiptoe down the street,
Smile at everyone I meet,
But suddenly a scream,
Smashes through my dream,
Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum,
(Blood of an asylum,
But mother I play so beautifully, listen. ha ha)
Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of the asylum,
Hey you, you're such a pedant,
You got as much brain as a dead ant,
As much imagination as a caravan sign.

But I still love you, still love you,
Oh how sweet to be an idiot,
How sweet. how sweet. How sweet.
I knew you'd get the quote bud. Ha ha, good old Neil eh? :D

Can't be too many of the Bonzos left now can there? Viv Stanshall left us some years ago too (actually he left this world long before he died - sadly he was mentally a mess toward the end).

That surprises me Boss. There were quite a few of them as well.

The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse.
Gorilla.
Wrestle Poodles...and Win.

All fabulous stuff.

...carry on using wooden fence posts when the previous ones rotted away after 10 years?

Question aimed mainly at farmers.

Centurion? CENTURION?? How very dare you? I'll have you know I'm only 2/3s of the way there yet. I'm hoping to live long enough to see Burnley win the PL and Arsenal play in League 2*.

*Given that they have not play outside of the top flight I might have to wait a while for that one...sadly.
