"The ball is swinging already, and Justin Langer has been clattered on the helmet by Stephen Harmison"

Not heard, but I saw a deaf mute couple arguing in sign language either side of the gates at Wimbledon station. Their faces were really animated and their sign language sort of violent. |

Dumb Toffs
|
| |
On Friday night I was queuing outside the BLUES bar on Kingly Street. These young fake looking blonde posh chicks from Chelsea or Kensington or some other snootyville joined the Q. Next thing one is on the phone to a friend:
"No, we're in the Q outside a little JAZZ bar."
Hmmm... I thought, it's a Blues bar, but hey, she's young, maybe she doesn't know the place. Maybe it was someone else's idea to come. She didn't pay attention to the details. Give her a break I thought. The conversation continues...
"Yeah, it's meant to be a really good little JAZZ bar. It's called Ain't Nothin But The BLUES. They play really good live JAZZ in there."
OK, the now judgement begins! I'm muttering to myself about the idiots in the world she's continuing with one-liners of ~
"Yeah, I don't know who's playing. Some random JAZZ band. But it's called Aint Nothing But the BLUES if you want to come down."
Seriously? How dumb can a person be??

The day after Ted Heath died, two old East End boys down Walthamstow market....
1: "Sad about old Ted Heath, innit?"
2: "Yeah. Mind you, he were a right shitbag, weren't he?"
Political discourse of the highest order!

Well that certainly clears things up
|

Overheard on bench at Hyde park. A girl is comforting her sobbing friend who is obviously having boyfriend trouble.
"Let's just remember how things are. He is who he is. You are who you are. I am who I am. OK?"
The girls exchange kisses on the cheeks and move off. |
