I love the smell of Napalm early in the morning

"I love the smell of freshly cut grass don't you?"

"No. That makes you a little weird."

"Oh for Christ's sake. Why does liking the smell of cut grass make me a weirdo? Come on Rain Man hit me with some obscure fact your brain has retained especially for moments like this one."

"When you cut grass, what you're smelling, well it's a chemical distress signal. It's basically the grasses way of showing it's in pain. So it's like saying you like the smell when someone's had their arms and legs cut off. Who's Rain Man?" 

"Oh trust you to know the chemical reason grass smells when cut but have no clue about cultural references. You know the film? With Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman? Rain Man? Savant who can count tooth picks in the blink of an eye?"

"No sorry. That last part sounds like a mission impossible to me?"

"Are you taking the piss now?"

"I don't think so. We were talking about the smell of cut grass. Mind you next you'll be telling me you love petrichor."

"Petri who now?"

"Petrichor. The smell produced when rain falls on dry ground."

"Boy you are going to die a virgin you know that right? Wait, don't answer that I don't want to be lying awake at night wishing I'd never brought up the subject. Don't pretend to look hurt. You don't know what the emotion feel like you saw a photo in a text book and saved it for a petrichor day."

"Emily please don't take this the wrong way but I found learning latin was easier than trying to ever understand what half the things you say actually mean."

"Oh now I know you're taking the piss Edward. You don't know latin."

"Fluctuat nec mergitur."

"Edward, any fool can remember a phrase in Latin. Veci, Vedi, Veni."

"Hoc est verissimum. By the way, it's veni, vidi, vici."

"That's what I said, I came, I saw and I'm going to kick your arse if you don't shut up. Oh wait shit did you smile then? Did you get that it was a joke? Awww I love you. Come here and give me a hug."

"No, don't touch me. No, get away."

"Come on Eddie just a little hug, come here no don't run off. Come back!"

Never trust a man with two first names

- God your old man is funny Dawn.  - Have you's been encouraging him again Matt? Mum'll go daff at you's if she catches you encouraging him y’know? - Will she? - Aye she will n’all. Go on then what's he said now? - Well nothing specific.  - Well clearly he has otherwise you wouldn't ‘av bort it up. I'm not an idiot you know.  - Dawn. Darling.  - Don't patronise me either you fucking twat. What did he say? - Well upon reflection maybe it wasn't funny after all. - Did you laff? - Well, yes.  - Then you thought it was funny then. - Maybe I was being polite. - Are you saying I'm not being polite? - No, not at all. I'm saying that maybe I was merely mistaken. - You'll be merely mistaken if you think you're wiggling out of this one mister.  It hadn't taken Matt long to work out why his father-in-law spent so much time in the pub. Dawn was a woman clearly cut from the left over cloth they'd used to cut his mother-in-law from. They should...

What's going on?

- If I tell you something will you promise me that you won't laugh? - No.  - Why not? - ‘Cause it's probably going to be really funny if you're asking me not to laugh at it knowing that's exactly what I'll do. If I told you not to think of a pink elephant what's the first thing you'd think of? - Erm…a purple coloured double ended dildo. - Oh for Christ's sakes. Trust you, you kinky bastard. - What? - You know exactly what. - Yeah OK I might have had an inkling. Anyway they do say know your audience. - Are you calling me a kinky bastard? - Well if the stilettos fit. - You cheeky bastard. - Look we're dangerously getting off the subject topic here. Right, don't… oh no wait we've come full circle. Hmmm. Sod it, here goes nothing. I know this is going to sound really stupid and it's embarrassing when I say it but… I've only just realised how stupid people really are. As expected Andy laughs at his friends revelation. In fact more than exp...

A woman reborn

On a cold blustery wet winter morning the British weather was in a particularly spiteful mood. Clara was sat watching the world trying its best to go by with little signs of success from the window of her local coffee shop. A man on the opposite side of the road was busy becoming more irate by the second as the family dog had decided to crouch and do it's business on the pavement. Having turned to try work out why the lead in his hand had pulled taught, the umbrella he was carrying in the other blew inside out with such a force it had probably rendered it instantly useless and clearly irked he'd shouted something which couldn't be made out behind the pane of glass. Whether it had been aimed at the dog, the umbrella or both is anyone's guess but whatever and whoever it was aimed at it had proved the tipping point for the little girl who was with him who was now wailing beside the dog to compound his misery. For a second or two Clara briefly considered putting down the ho...
