Graphic representation?

Saw in these in a French services.

Not sure whether the characters are hiding their modesty or merely displaying an urgent need ……
Perhaps this is the happy outcome?

Brendan Behan

Legend has it that Behan was asked by Guiness to come up with a slogan – his contribution?

‘Guiness gets you drunk!’

You mean REAL customer service?!

The other day I had a very strange experience – I spoke to someone on a helpline who was generally helpful. Yes, really! He spoke clearly and concisely, rather than churning out pre-scripted corporate speak. I thanked him – I really did.

Normally when dealing with so-called customer services I end the call with a craving for the anaesthetic of strong alcohol, or the solace of a padded room, where I can wreak havoc on innocent, inanimate objects. On this occasion, I ended the call whistling in a carefree manner much to my own, and my wife’s surprise.

‘This rubbish!’

‘I have played every major Shakespearean role in the theatre and I’m considered the finest speaker of verse in the country, and I end up becoming famous doing this rubbish.’

This was said by a British actor who was in a long running BBC series in the late 1960’s. Any ideas?

Irony ? I’ll give you irony…..

I have slept very little for the last three nights but today after lunch I fell into a pleasant doze…… only to be woken by my phone bleeping.

It was a text message to remind me of next week’s appointment with my ‘sleep medicine consultant’!!!
