» Being told off as an adult

Trick or Treat
One halloween when i was a student two little kids knocked on the door asking for treats. As a threadbare student house, all we had was baked beans and slightly stale bread.

I didn't want to send the little devils away empty handed, so i delved into the depths of my memory to think of something they might enjoy.

Then i hit upon it MATCHES, every kid loves matches. I duly handed them over only to be told with a sneer which didn't even try and hide the disdain that the little kid obviously held me in.

"Don't you know never to give matches to kids, there dangerous" (there was a definete dur everone knows this kind of emphasis)and handed them back!

i was dumfounded, and chastised. I have never since tryed to encourage kids to play with matches

Burning Car
Last year some local ruffians set fire to a stolen car opposite my house, my girlfriend dutifully called the police and informed them of said car and where to find it.

They then insisted to the point of rudeness that she tell them what colour it was.

Seeing that the cars petrol tank had exploded by this point and the tarmac surrounding it was gently bubbling away this seemed rather a moot point to her but they wouldn’t let it lie

I wished she'd said charcoal grey, but she didn't, she lied and said it was red

» Have you ever seen a dead body?

Not a dead body but.....
About 20 heads on spikes in two rows

i didn't think it would bother me but i did feel a bit queasy afterwards, was probably the smell of the embalming fluids.

Bestival
I went to Bestival as an 'artist' and met Beth Ditto - shes very nice, and she said she liked my tee shirt.
