Last week I spent 3 days in London. Being so used to not understanding what’s being said around me, dropping down in the heart of rush-hour London was complete sensory overload. I felt like a spy, suddenly being privy to all sorts of snippets of top secret conversations around me. I found myself eagerly eavesdropping; picking up juicy bits and pieces of the action around me.
Overheard:
"I need some serious therapy mate!" --- bloke talking to friend on the train
"...and when I found out, I left him. Cause, you know, he’s a real piece of shit." --- girl friends chatting on tube
"...I’m sitting here alone, in my flat, and I realize I have bloody nobody!!" --- woman talking to friend walking down the street
"What do I want?!? I want you HERE, RIGHT NOW, like you FUCKING PROMISED!!" ---woman screaming into cell phone outside tube station
"...and I look over, and there’s this German guy sitting with 5 completely NAKED girls..." ---guy talking to friends at table next to me in restaurant
Is it just me, or is there a lot of drama in London???
