If you can't afford diamonds, go for crystal

  A well dressed young man is having a conversation on his mobile in a fairly camp voice.

Young Man: "...I've got this Svaroski (Swarovski, known for their crystal creations) party to go tonight. Do you wanna come?". It seems the person on the other end needs more clarification, so the young man continues: "You know, Svaroski, the ones who do fake diamonds, innit!".

Holy crap

  this happened in winter, and a woman with a huge coat gloves a scarf and a hat is walking her dog whilst on a bicycle. the dog stops to take a crap. the woman stops cycling but decides its too hard to get off the bike (because of coat and cold etc), so sets off again.
a runner who witnessed this jogged up to the cyclist to tell her off. she monologues to the exasperated looking cyclist, who waits for her to finish:
"shit happens" and she cycles off.
