Oh You Like Snooping & You Know You Do

So, because of a temporary job I just arrived in what is a half posh English town: I mean half in the sense that half of it is very well-to-do and the other isn’t at all.

After a new job meet-and-greet affair I was walking home about 25 minutes ago in a hurry to get back. As I sped by people I caught a couple of interesting snippets of conversation.

At the beginning of the walk  there were two short rotund men of about 50 years old and I heard this …

“So, what I am trying to create is a fully-integrated white elephant”.

Part of me was tempted to linger and get more of it but the better part of me was sure that this was wanked-up marketing speech at full maximum. He wasn’t even trying to hide that what he was doing was bullshit and therefore why should I try to listen to even more of it. The unfortunate likelihood is that I will hear it in 3 months time when the project comes to fruition. So I marched on.

Just before reaching my accomodation I overheard another snippet of a conversation from a few 18-to21-somethings (female) going along the road in short skirts and high heels.

It went thusly…

“It was like, a placebo”.

“What’s a placebo?”

“It’s like sumfink you take over and over again to forget what happened”.

Now, these conversations could have been overheard in any other city I am sure. Some days you can find these things funny and other days you can’t.

epilogue…

I met  few nice lads just outside the house. One of them may be reading this now—if you must comment, stay in the tone of the thing, ok?
