By the way, if you want to see funny stuff about Kim Wilde you have also to see her 80ties performance in Poland.
Security at concerts really sucked in Poland at those times and there were these two fans who were supposed just to give flowers but instead that gave a wild,lame, improvised dance with Kim.
That's great! I don't mind happy drunks on trains, especially if they're Kim Wilde.
I remember coming home from work the one time and being dead pleased to find an empty seat on a packed tube train only to realise why it was empty about 10 seconds after I'd sat down. The guy next to me was absolutely sh*t-faced and was attempting to set fire to and then eat a hamster that he'd doused in alcohol. He also kindly offered me one of his earphones so I could listen to the Sex Pistols with him.
He only got off the train when he tried (unsuccessfully) to light a roll up and the guard threw him off. The woman opposite me was in hysterics the whole time whilst I was desperately trying to keep a straight face due to the fact the guy was swearing like a trooper at everyone else. Happy days.
Them blokes she's standing next to on the train seem like a right bunch of miserable sods. They're looking at her like she's just a drunken has been...

Good to see a celebrity not up themselves and just having a bit of fun. Shame some of the passengers did not share her enthusiasm, especially that Asian chap to her left,, he looked like all he wanted was for her to stfu..
to be fair I tend to despise being held captive audience to random displays of public merriment
like those 'flash-mob' things that americans love. really hope I never get caught up in one of those
I'm with you there chap. If a group of like minded show-off's want to have a 'dance off' well feel free, but, for the love of god don't inflict your pointless arse waving and blatant 'look at me look at me' attitude upon me. You bunch of fecking twunts :-)
It's a bit like Mariachi singers in Mexican restaurants who stand by your table singing and playing their songs while you eat or try to have a conversation.
"here is $5 go away and don't come back, I don't want your spittle flying in my dinner while you sing thanks"

common sense really, and yet it seems like you'll get branded a grump/killjoy for this kind of attitude in most places
I'm not grumpy at all, just don't like having a bunch of glittery hat wearing, x-factor worshipping, facebook/twitter obsessed teenagers imposing their idea of 'wacky fun' on me in a public arena.
There was a "hug a stranger" thing going on over here about a year ago...you were supposed to hug a stranger randomly or based on them looking miserable.
I was approached by a young lovely about 20yrs old at an open market who said "can I have a hug?"..of course I hugged her even though she didn't look miserable...
Outside of the evil Walmart was a Sally Army guy with a beard and a Santa hat dancing to Wham's Last Christmas. He's jumping around ringing his bell, singing and shouting "Come on! Wave at me! Woohoo! Merry Christmas".
I asked my wife if it was wrong that I wanted to stab him? She said probably :D
Those guys annoy me, back in England they wouldn't be allowed to ring that bell, or shake their collection bucket. But the Americans love beggars, aggressive collecting, and Panhandling.
I gave the Sally Army guy outside of my workplace a few dollar bills a little while ago because he had his radio at a sensible volume, rang his bell every minute or so, and just said "Hey how's it going?" to people. When I gave money he said "Thank you very much, merry christmas". Instead of jumping up and down on the spot like a chihuahua with ADD, and trying to hug me for my generosity.

Why do I now have an image of Albert Steptoe in my head? :D
