No better feeling than a random compliment.
A man stopped me in the street on the way to work last week and said "I just wanted to tell you that I see you every morning, and I think you are beautiful. Although you could do with brushing your hair a bit more."
Didn't know whether to be offended or not!
Take it as a compliment with a side helping of constructive criticism!
Just give him the brush off next time. Ba-dum.
Comb again?
Chip's just been out cutting the hedge. He felt like Leatherface out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But with a hedge strimmer instead of a chainsaw. And he wasn't wearing somebody elses face as a mask.
Ben is remembering the quirky days of dial up internet access.

To be fair, a hedge strimmer could probably do more damaged compared to the more "clean cut" chain saw.
Ben is watching that thing with Robert Pattinson and Catherine Tate in, finishing off a cup of tea and then heading off to a farm shop.

The f**ker has pinched my technique - hard praise followed by a small fart of criticism to add verisimilitude.
I was sitting in the pub last evening, minding my own business and watching a man play the fruit machine, when I was shocked to see that the machines now have slots for notes !
What next? Credit card readers?

Wear a Cure T-shirt and some badges, and next time tell him that Robert Smith says hairbrushes are the Anti-Christ.

aka online gambling. We're there already. 
I remember the good old days of the Football Pools, the tinge of excitement when we checked the scores, and the inevitable crushing disappointment. 
Ben got sausages, sausage rolls and a pork pie from the farm shop.
