You know the ones, they crop up every couple of weeks and yet I for one STILL feel compelled to take part. EVERY TIME. Here’s my personal top ten.
- The CF friend/neighbour - usually something childcare related or, even better, about giving someone a lift. Brilliant every time.
- Live parking row. With diagrams and, preferably, pictures - must be updated every ten minutes to avoid getting your audience too cross.
- Weddings and hen parties - doesn’t really matter what the issue is, I just want to know about them.
- How often do you change your bed sheets?
- How often do you have a shower?
- Things that irritate you. Where everyone comes on and says the same thing as if they just invented it, eg The X Factor, sniffing, people who say “should of and would of” etc.
- Workplace problem - from a smelly colleague to someone trying to take credit for your project. I cannot get enough of these.
- Something interesting happening in a cafe - preferably as it happens, involving bagging a table before queuing for food.
- What to buy at Aldi.
- How to pronounce Esme.
How about you?
