Boof Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Getting my hair cut yesterday and had spent some of my waiting time beforehand clapping a French bulldog in the barber's. Next I knew the wee fellow was hurtling across the floor on a skateboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotter Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 On a somewhat related note: Nazi Party flags. I remember taking a walk round the military museum at the Castle a few years ago and they have one in there from Hannover (I think) signed by the guys from 40 Commando who took it down. Genuinely a double-take and blink sort of moment before I turned to the missus and said 'you don't see that everyday'. Same thing happened at the captured U-505 exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Science and Infrastructure last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 A couple in the past few months. 1) A car driving along I-94 with a mattress on it's roof with all 4 occupants, including the driver with an arm out the window holding it down. 2) Learning to surf in the Dominican Republic last year and a golden retriever was surfing alongside us, on it's own board.

Tazio Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Years ago in The Volunteer Arms in Leith having a quiet mid afternoon pint when an old bloke sat next to me, ordered a pint and then took a white mouse out his jacket pocket and duped it on the bar. It proceeded to have a wee wander about then when he was leaving he picked it up, popped it back in his pocket and wandered out. Also in Leith in The Vine, quiet mid afternoon pint (there's a theme here) an old boy came into the pub in his pyjamas, dressing gown, and slippers. Sat at the bar with his Daily Record and had a pint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 With Lothian Buses reintroducing buses with separate doors for leaving it was probably inevitable that I would see someone trying to sneak on through the exit doors rather than paying at the front doors, what I didn't expect was that the person would try and sneak on while carrying a double mattress!

Салатные палочки Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Mid 90's, Queen Street Station on the way to a game, stopped in at Burger King for a quick scran. A homeless looking character sits down at a table at the window. He takes three wee plastic cartons of UHT milk and pours them into one of they wee foil ashtrays you used to get. He then takes a wee black and white kitten out his pocket and it begins to lap up the milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
