    Oh dear Piq, you do seem to be making rather a collection of exhibitionist males:rotfl:, half-mast trousers, the guy at the cafe who couldn't be bothered to put it all away tidily before he exited the loo and now the guy with dangly bits over the freezer. We all wait in anticipation of tonight's shopping delights:D

    Tonight was very quiet at work so I finished early and popped into the 24 hour T£sco on the way home. I was leaning over the frozen fruit cabinet [blueberries are very nice in porridge] when I looked at the man in the ice cream section. He was wearing his pyjamas!:eek::eek::eek:Just as I was thinking ' mens pyjamas are a bit risky because they don't necessarily do up at the front' his willy flopped out :eek::eek::eek::eek: [there are not enough of these:eek::eek: to signify the horror :eek::eek::eek: mixed with :rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl:]

    What on earth possessed him to go late night shopping in his pyjamas?? When I told the lady at the checkout she started to laugh and said that they got all sorts in during the late night shift, her favourite being the man in a sequined thong and wellingtons.....

    Words fail me. No, really they do... _pale_ :D:rotfl::rotfl::eek:

    I'm surprised there was something to flop out being in the freezer aisle!!

    That was my thought too! :o

    My eyes are watering at the thought of a sequinned thong. I had some glittery shooes once and had to get rid of those because they scoured the skin off my feet....

    Waving madly :wave:

    Still here! I've had a, frankly, terrifying time at work meaning I've had to call the police. It's left me shaken and very tired/stressed which is why I've been missing. Matters are not resolved but I do have friendly policemen popping into work to keep an eye on me.

    Sometimes I wonder how I manage to attract the true weirdos and I don't mean the ones in their open front pyjamas!

    So still soldiering on....

    Oh no, How terrible. Whatever kind of world are we living in? More and more I see myself as wanting to be a hermit.

    Hope that Colin is comforting you.
