I remember as kids we stumbled across an extensive porn collection when retrieving a football from some overgrown bushes in the park.

We came back the next day to have another look and there was a bloke in there with his trousers round his ankles.

He reckoned he was having a shit but I think that was the shock at being rumbled having a wank.

MANNERS

Oh, and football presenters and pundits actually bothering to dress properly any more, in favour of looking like they've just wandered off the street in jeans and a jacket. If you don't look professional, you don't act professional.

Hairy snatches (or brillo pads for a darkie) - most nowadays have runways or like my missus lasered. Yum

Oh and Terrapins. 

Dwarf Seahorses.
