Overheard quotes (that you’d probably only hear in one place)

Yesterday I called in at Glastonbury on my way home, as I walked up the main street I overheard a mother tell her young son “Watch where you’re pointing your wand*”. I just thought that Glastonbury would be the only place you would ever hear that quote. Any more site specific quotes? * a gnarly length of wood.
Pub word games

I was caught up in one of those wordage pub games last night. ” Who’s got the box?”. Very frustating as didn’t latch on to it, and felt an idiot ( no real change there) when the answer was explained to me. Can you suggest other ones so that I can retaliate?

Songs whose titles are only in the final words.
by 68 Comments
The Independent on Sunday is asking for suggestions in its Top Ten of songs as the post says, the title is only referenced in the final words. The example given is Up the Junction by Squeeze. In the one I posted before; https://theafterword.co.uk/two-minutes-or-less/ we had rather a good strike rate. Here’s hoping as I can’t think of a single one. Post to top10@independent.co.uk

Profile Picture
by 125 Comments
I sent a message to another member of the massive (I won’t say who), to ask why he had chosen his particular picture. I thought it was a splendid pun on his username. I received an email back confirming my suspicion. So why did you choose your particular profile pic? Is it someone you admire? does it show your secret side? Mine? All mine show have shown a fez, (the best headgear ever).
