    With hands in the air waving, then clapping like a seal she reminded me of a young village idiotess.

    When we got off she talked to the missus. What a cute child. 'Ahhhh','oooooo' and when talking to us she continued to throw her arms in the air and left with a cheerful 'Have a good year. Be happy'

    Fook orfff!

    Unnecessarily cheerful people.

    Just been to a shopping centre where we put the kids on a ride. My missus went in one cart with the little darlings.

    On the ride was a fat cheerful women in her late 30s. She proceeded to gurn, go 'ooooo', 'ahhhh' at all the kids. One 10 year old looked particularly perplexed.
