Skilled wife embarrassment
In Smiths, purchasing Civ 4, wife queuing with that and some fizzy water. I wander over to look at some rather exciting StarWars collectables, wife shouts loud as she can 'You've got a computer game; you're not having stickers too" in perfect Mum vs recalcitrant child tone of voice. Old lady behind her doubles up with laughter. I knew then that she'd make a fine mother. She also often leads an entrance into M and S with a shout of "I need some pants for this one". Brilliant.

Gig based coinkydink
Whenever i've lost my other mates at a concert, and it's happened 2 or three times now including at Glastonbury and Radiohead's southpark gig, i always randomly meet a mate of mine called Jamie, i never expect him to be there he just usually turns out to be around and rescues me from being billy no mates like a guardian gig angel.

i love the gym
despite my less than svelte appearance i hit the gym about 4 times a week to lift some weights, punch the bag thing, swim, row etc, i'm pretty strong and fit for a fatty.
You do see some daft things:
The annual peaks for new years resolutions and bikini season are amusing, seeing folks show up three times in their brand new kit, run one day a week for 2 weeks and then vanish.
Chavs goading each other into lifting oversized weights with poor technique and injuring themselves.
Skeleton girl showing up twice a day instead of eating.
I think the saddest thing i ever saw was folks perparing for a spin class (group cycling for masochistic sweat beasts) they show up 15 minutes early and started putting towels on the bike they wanted before going off again, like German tourists with sun-loungers. I felt ashamed for the nation.
It's good tho, nice community feel, generally good vibes. I recommend it.
