Warwick
Particularly loud conversation snippet; West London lunch spot:
Guy 1: "...It was supposed to be an advert with that little chap - the man who portrayed the midget in "Willow."
Guy 2: "What do you mean?"
Guy 1: "What do you mean, what do I mean?"
Guy 2: "He 'portrayed' a midget? You mean he's not actually a midget?"
Guy 1: "Well, fuck me, I guess he is."
Guy 2: "Either way I don't know the film."
Guy 1: "It's got Joanne Whaley in it, and Val Kilmer. They met making that film and got married. She was an incredible babe then."
Guy 2: "Officially?"
Guy 1: "What do you mean, 'officially'?"
Guy 2: "Did they call her a babe in magazines, and things like that?"
Guy 1: "I'm sure they did, but what are you getting at?"
Guy 2: "I'm not sure."

Hand in Glove?
Apologies for the month (plus) of silence.
---------------
Saturday afternoon @ Pret a Manger, a semi-fast food sandwich chain. Two middle aged women are talking at each other while they eat sandwiches from triangular cardboard boxes. Suddenly, one of them stops chewing-and-talking and appears to zone out. She's staring at something on the floor. After a long pause, she speaks up.
"Louisa... has that rubber glove been on the floor this whole time?"
Her friend turns and squints at the floor.
"Oh, my, yes... look at that."
After a beat, they resume both their conversation and their lunch.

A Catch Up at the Coffee Shop
Woman #1: "So, what did you get up to on Valentine's Day?"
Woman #2: "To tell you the truth, I couldn't get up to too much because of my stepson being down."
Woman #1: "Simple?"
Woman #2: "What do you mean?"
Woman #1: "Retarded?"
Woman #2: "No, he was in town from school, in Leeds."
Woman #1: "I misunderstood."
(several minutes of silence)
