This month's instalment of Overheard in Notts features surprising jeans and combustible toilets...

Overheard

“I would quite like to infiltrate a cult.”

 

"Just to clarify; my mum is a hairdresser but she's not a pimp."

 

Bloke with strong American accent on the phone:

"I can't wait to get home to the land of the free man... I don't miss my girlfriend, I miss my gun!"

 

“Her bra was drawn on.”

 

“Actually the WikiHow article on that is quite useful because it teaches you about tongue placement.”

 

“I don’t know what colour his jeans were but they took me by surprise.” 

 

Girl one: "Yeah, that's the whole point of a one-night-stand." 

Girl two: "Is it?"

Girl one: "Yeah! But I'm not taking contraceptives!!!"

 

"What's the name of the lovely chap wearing Eric Morecambe's trousers?"

 

“He's living in a van now. It's got a combustible toilet and everything.”

 

“Here comes the shite in shining armour.”

 

“You’ve got to look out for the gingers with brown eyes because they’re stronger than the gingers with blue eyes.”
