From the guy in the cubicle behind me, just now:

"Oh my God! What's in my pants?!"

You better hope, whatever it is, it doesn't get in *yours*.

See, that's where it'll get confused. I'm not wearing pants.

Overheard in the cafe this morning (I'm posting from this restaurant which has some machines). Two not-so-young, or thin, ladies talking.

One says, "The older I get, the more I think prostitution is the only honest profession open to us."

The other agrees.

Outside the Silent Disco on the Southbank:

Me: What do you think they are dancing to?
ArkanGL: I don't know, but whatever eet ees, eet ees very gay.

My brother and his wife were in bed this morning and hadn't fed their cat, which was scratching at the bed. There was a 4.3 earthquake, briefly shaking the house, and his wife said "I think you'd better feed that cat".

Yummy Mummy: "I have never not loved Ralph Lauren."

"That's the guy who gave me the cocaine. He's the one dressed in a toothbrush costume."

"Eightteen stiches on the outside of the arm and 5 on the inside."

awesome, the accent comes through in the writing perfectly too.

-why would they do that? why would they put that on a poster?
-what were they thinking?
-well, we can't leave it, we will need to take it down.

conversation about the poster above in the cinema, not entirely sure what the concern was, but there were certainly 2 managers and 2 grunts standing around discussing it when i passed, so thought i better take a picture before it vanished forever!

I saw the ferret and the pistol, and (just for a moment), though someone was making a Sluggy Freelance movie.

I'm so dissappointed.

If only, right?

I haven't been keeping up with Sluggy lately, but I was a devoted fan for about three years. "Stay good, MOM, stay good!"

Guy: so are you going?
Girl [snorts]: They came back crippled! All of them! Crippled!!

In a barn with two horse-drawn hearses, and a high-wheel penny-farthing bicycle leaning against the wall.

Mom: This is an antique bicycle.
Boy: Like you road when you were a kid?

"I'm into a new type of music that is sweeping the world. It's called Indie"

Another denizen of my cube pod, on the phone:

"Just remember, what happens at the zoo, stays at the zoo."

Conversation with my friend, who has a 3-month old baby. We were watching "Spider-man Tech" on the History Channel, a show where they talk to scientists and other experts about how possible Spider-man's powers are and stuff like that:

Jo, looking at her baby, coo's at her, "Wouldn't that be cool, Artemis? A baby that glowed in the dark!"

Me- "But Jo, if she glowed in the dark, that would preclude her future career as an assassin."

Jo - "Oh no, she'd just glow in the dark while she was a baby, so I wouldn't lose her!" (more coo-ing at the baby here). "She'd grow out of it eventually. She could still be an assassin, then."

Me - "Oh, right. A glow-in-the-dark baby would be cool, then."

" Oh all the hotels in Vienna have a 15 per cent Russian rule. Any more than that and its complete chaos."

"Well, I wish I was 76 again, but you know..."
