Taxi Draft...

(Outside St Pancras)
Woman on phone: "Yeah I'm waiting for a taxi... yeah... no... yeah... well, there's one fit guy but Mum - I'm not gonna ask him to cab share when I'm wearing no knickers..."

American college kids, in a league of their own

A bunch of obnoxious American college kids on the train last night:

OACK #1: "Hey, remember the time in Amsterdam when we had to use that ATM that wasn't in English?"
OACK #2: "Yeah, I did the whole thing in Danish!"
OACK #3: "It was Dutch, you dumbass. Danish is a food."

The gift that keeps on giving

Picture the scene: Oxford Street - busy as only Oxford Street can be in the run-up to Christmas (i.e. hellish). A respectable-looking, middle-aged man takes [refuge] from the crowds against a shopfront in order to take a call on his mobile phone. As I walk past I hear...

"Yes, yes. I've bought you a really good present. Yeah, you'll love it, it's great, it's definitely worth anal this time."
