A few blokes at work were discussing the rising prices of fuel when one guy chipped in “Well none of this price rising will effect me”.

As is common for a wedding our list of presents consisted of some household items, one of which was a large bin.

A friend on twitter was due to attend an eye test at Specsavers and tweeted that they requested the contact lenses in at least 4 hours before and given that his appointment was 9:15am that meant getting up at 5.
I replied to say surely he could take the lenses into Specsavers the night before, however it turns out they meant you are to be wearing your lenses from 4 hours before.
Makes much more sense.

Recently I heard these two misinterpretations that friends of mine have said in church as kids. The first is “Thanks, Peter God” instead of “Thanks be to God” and “Harold be they name” instead of “Hallowed be thy name”
