You get some wierd people here in Sheffield.

I was walking into uni today listening to my personal stereo and reading the paper, as you do, when I passed this elderly woman. She turned to look at me. "Glossy magazines, my son, glossy magazines," she said.
I took my stereo earplugs out of my ears. "Sorry?" I replied.
"Glossy magazines," she repeated.
"Okay, what about them," I said confused.
"Just think about it"
Seriously freaked out by now I just replied "Ok, I will, thanks!" and I very hastily walked away.
Was the old woman's advice a warning that I should avoid glossy magazines? Or should I go out and buy all the glossy magazines I can get my hands on? Who knows, but if you never hear from me again I've probably been killed by a huge stack of glossy magazines mysteriously falling on my head.

[Adam]

thats quiet funny.

she probably thought you were reading a porn mag or something. either that or she too has had a bad expo with some 'glossy mags'

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

glossy magazines wipe clean....

just one proof that god is indeed great.

I have been quite impressed with you image manip skills as of late, nice to see you havn't fallen into the 'jon hoare school of cheap as chips comedy'. Truancy would be a more productive.

[saintvikki1884]

A dolphin has it's testicles on its inside for protection - can't see why all animals don't.

Heh, there was a fun fiction book (one of the Modesty Blaise series I think) in which the main characters encountered these ninja-type people who had been trained during puberty to retract their unmentionables at will so they could tolerate kicks to the crotch in combat. It's not entirely unheard of. - jc

talking of wierd old ladies. I was once waiting for the bus on halloween with my friend when this oap comes up to us and says "we use to go trick or treating as the beatles when we were younger" and kept on walking

[superwoman]

thats incredibly strange

[Sidders]

It's a true story too, but don't worry folks I'm still alive.

Another random bloke came up to me in the town centre too a while back and made me give him some money. I said I hadn't got any money because I'm a student. He claimed he was a monk and he gave me some weird book full of bizzare religious prophecies. Just before I went he said 'Say Gouranga!' so I said 'Gouranga'. 'That means be happy!' he said, and I walked away wondering why the hell I'd chosen Sheffield to study in.

[magenta]

Hahaha I met some of those Gouranga people in Crewe!!

Three of us gave them something like £1 each & got a little paperback book, I think mine was about Yoga or something & pink, & the other two got a little blue religious one.

Nutters.

[Sidders]

Mine was a blue one. It had some really weird beliefs in it.

[superwoman]

where can i meet these people?

I love Vicky really. She's got a great voice- but sadly she's on two early for me. I would of made the effort for a picture like that. I mean- christ... thats really bad. Still your not employed for your face on radio are you really- if you've got a great voice like that- then i'd give her a job anyday.

just having a little fun. yeah- doesn't take me long really. all you need is a little time and effort- the results look great.

[Benjoo]

I got a badge from those gouranga people it says "call out gouranga and be happy"

[jc]

Accidentally encountered one of these people in the centre of town over Christmas. That's what happens when you walk too slow. - jc

Why do scruffy little druggie scrotes say 'Can you spare 20p for a bag of chips?'. Where the * can you get a bag of chips for 20p????????

[Morals]

I had someone com eup to me trying to give me a stupid book - I told him to f**k off. The look on his face was priceless.

Also, there was a woman in Leicester shouting about God, and she shouted "Jesus Saves" to which my friend shouted back "but Beckham gets it on the rebound". Genius.

[Sidders]

Leicester is the capital for them religeous nuts. Every week you get street preachers at the clock tower.

[Morals]

Indeed, for that is where I was.

[Minnie the Minx]

I had a women sing "£20 fine, £20 fine" to me when I went past her on my bike several years ago.

[jc]

Er, that's because it's illegal to ride a bicycle on pavements. There is a fine attached, but I've not heard of any instances of this law being enforced. - jc

[Uglybob]

could you not argue then that they should build a cycle lane then. they have them in most towns.

[jc]

Won't happen here. - jc
