Abi Started conversation Feb 26, 2003
My favourite way of passing the time is eavesdropping... yes I know it is terrible and I shouldn't do it, but I just cannot resist it!
This is a conversation from the train a few months back had me in stitches. I have not embroidered it, and it is as word for word as possible.
Bloke 1: So he rang up and said he and Sheila were going to see the new Harry Potter.
Bloke 2: Oh I really want to see that.
B1: I wouldn't bother if I was you. I am a big fan of the books, I have read all five, but the first film was really really tame. I can't be bothered, I am going to wait for it to be shown on Channel 5.
B2: We can't get Channel 5. Can you get Channel 5?
B1: Well we get it through Sky Digital. When we bought the house, the dish was there. Didn't get round to buying a subscription though. Any way I only watch Channel 5 for Fifth Gear.
B2: What's Fifth Gear like?
B1: Don't know, don't watch it.
