Man Talk 9th August 2014

 

Its a real kick in the teeth for us Brits when you hear that, in a survey,the rest of the world think the person they most associate with being a typical british male is Mr Bean! Yes the hapless chump who can't speak properly who trys to scrimp on everything and will cheat and lie to get what he wants, is  your average foreigners idea of you and I. Come to think of it they may be right!

 

And the winner is.... Shamus Beaglehole, who was recently celebrated for having the name of the year, in a recent poll. He narrowly beat off the runner up Dr Eve Gruntfest, so close but so far. Submissions are now being taken for next years competion if you think you can better that. P.S. Only legitimate names can enter, no made up ones allowed.

 

Hows this for a great way to watch one of the scariest films of all time 'Jaws'. In a dingy in an outdoor swimming pool. One clever swimming baths in London had the brilliant idea of showing the film with added water to give the film a touch of reality. Wonder if anyone to large turned up and the staff got to say the classic line....'We're going to need a bigger boat.'

 

Here's the conspiracy theory that everybodies talking about this week,  Apple slow down the performance of their Iphones just before they launch a new version, so we'll all run out and buy one. Anyone else noticed their phones on a go slow? The X- Files live on.

 

Ever felt like your blending into the background and nobody knows your there, Well your not alone. A survey this week has found that once men reach the age of 39 they become invisible to women.  Unfortunately once we hit the big three nine us guys are just not memorable anymore. Perhaps thats why David Beckham has taken to relaunching his underwear range. Once seen in those budgie smugglers never fogotten!

 

Coincidence or trend? Saw a man smoking a pipe the other day, thought thats unussual, who smokes a pipe these days? Then within minutes saw somebody else doing the same thing! So, the question is are pipes making a comeback? Theirs something cozy about a man with a pipe, thoughtful, cheerful you always imagine a pipe smoker as mr dependable. You'd never see a rock star or a footballer puffing on a pipe. Or maybe we will soon... The pipe is on its way back!

 

How strange is this as an accompanyment to a beer a plate of radishes! Yes those little red rock hard balls where served up with my pint in a bar in France recently! I mean what do you say to that? Obvioulsy its a French thing.

 

One man who will never have to buy a beer again is Orlando Bloom, after he punched Justin Beiber.  Well at least he'll have something to cry into now.

 

Who said an education is wasted, you can now get a Phd in toilets, yes somebody has created a degree course in all things loo related. Well there's three years of your life down the pan!
