This month you've been talking about bacon vodka, chakras and thrash metal...

Overheard In Notts

“They didn't get an interview for that job.”
“At the circus?”

Someone walking through Sneinton market:
“This is the old railway station.”

“You’re barred from Sainsbury’s aren’t you.”
“Yeah, I was fondling the frozen chickens.”

“She’s not had a glow up. She’s glowed sideways.”

"I'd rather be tortured than drink bacon vodka"

Girls in the bathroom:
"Wahh it's my birthday in two weeks. I'm not going to be a teenager anymore."
"Well... On the bright side - no teen pregnancy?"

“Must get home before my colostomy bag bursts.”

“No one told me my chakras were going to be repossessed!”

“I'm not a gay cowboy, I'm a feathery cowboy.”

Older gent in the pub: “I did find out the difference between death metal and thrash metal, but now I’ve forgotten again.”

We have a favour to ask
