“Oh mate, I’m so sorry. I am looking forward to my cheese sandwich though…”

 

"No, not that Dave. I mean big tall Dave from Bulwell"

 

"She's my age. And that's no age." 

 

Postman 1: “Why are you wearing gloves? It's 21 degrees today.”

Postman 2: “So I don't get papercuts on my fingers.”

Postman 1: “But they're fingerless.”

 

Girls on bus:

Girl 1: “People are queueing for food…”

Girl 2: “That's kinda whatcha hafta do when you're hungry.”



“At least buy the girl a Nando’s if you have to traumatise her.”

 

"I didn't learn how to click my fingers until I was 22."

 

Man 1: "I've never seen anyone in a camo kilt before"

Man 2 in camo kilt "Just shows you how good the camo is…”

 

"Seems strange coming here on a Saturday; like I said to him, it looks like a Tuesday."

 

"She's REALLY clever though...for every five drinks, she has a glass of water."

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
