I was out for an after work beer earlier and my boss was there.

I can't remember how it came about but during a conversation I said something along the line of "It is an insult to the English to be called/considered to be Welsh" All meant in jest of coursee.

My boss promptly responds with "It's the same for us Welsh being considered English"

I had NO idea that my boss was Welsh (No accent and I have worked for him for under a month)

Thankfully he is damned good chap and we ended up having a good old chat about christiano roberto, as he is from Cardiff.

Has anybody else managed to shove their foot in their mouth recently?

A while back there was a man with one arm who was struggling to get something from off the shelf at work, so using my customer service skills i went over and asked if he would need any help. I wasn't really thinking though, and asked "Do you need a hand". Thankfully he saw the funny side!!

All the time, I speak before thinking.

I once told a blind man that "I'd keep an eye out for him" when he was next in work - but to be honest I thought it was quite funny.

 :oops:

I said to a mum "your son has dropped his hat" she replied "my daughter, you mean". That's true.

I was once in a car with and friend and three of her friends who I didn't know, they mentioned a girl called Rachel, my friend said to me 'oh Andy knows Rachel don't you' I replied 'yeah, I wouldn't go there again', at this time it was pointed out to me that the driver of the car was her boyfriend.

Yeah right !!!!

Only last night, we're driving past the firestation on the way to Fred's and my missus makes a comment about one of the fireman. I said "it's alright, he's a ginger anyway" and promptly got hit over the back of the head by axs who I totally forgot was sitting in the back.

My Dad's best mate's wife had had a baby. I bumped into her a while after and made small talk. Noticing she was was sporting a rather rotund shape i said, "I didn't know you were having another baby", she replied, "I'm not".  :oops:

One of the girls in our office has been sporting a decidedly dodgy tum, all the engineers were asking each other "Is Emma pregnant?"  Me, being me, decided to ask her!!  Apparently, I learned, after a few expletives that she definitely is not!!!  Oh, but she did tell me she was definitely going on a diet!!

Dont mock the firemen!

Taxi for tans

:oops:

I was thinking along the lines of a bus, less likely to get ripped off.

I dunno, if fares keep rising like they are taxi would probably be cheaper soon!

 :mrgreen: it was a very gentle hit (him and nic were giving me a lift)

Not quite complete foot in mouth (but pretty close), but I just had an awkward phone call from my deceased step-granddad's daughter, telling me that her mum (his first wife) had died last night.

Someone at the end of the phone telling you about someone who's died whilst you're trying to work out who the fuck they are is definitely not an easy moment. I was close to full on panic before it clicked in my head. I'm not sure "I'm sorry for your loss, but who the fuck are you" would have gone down too well.

I'm still stressed. I need some drugs.
