Okay, so on Wednesday I was on the train and I overheard probably the best conversation I have ever encountered in my life. Now, bear in mind whilst reading, that the two men in question were both Brummies. Why, I hear you ask, is this important? You'll see ...
Man on Phone: *Chattering away about boring, trivial things*
'Second Man' enters carriage. He spots 'Man on Phone'.
Second Man: (Excitedly to 'Man on Phone') Excuse me. Excuuuse me.
'Man on Phone' stares at 'Second Man', pointing to his phone impatiently. 'Second Man' stands calmly waiting for his attention.
Man on Phone: (Into phone, sighing) Can I ring you back in a minute?
'Man on Phone' hangs up, and puts his phone away in his pocket.
Man on Phone: Yes mate, can I help you?
Pause.
Second Man: Well I just needed to ask you something.
Long pause.
Second Man: Are you Welsh!?
Even longer pause.
Man on Phone: (Incredulously) Do I bloody well sound Welsh!?
Second Man: (Grumpily) Well I don't know do I? I've never met anyone from Wales before!
'Second man' exits carriage. 'Man on Phone' looks around dazedly.
Man on Phone: What a nutter.
'Man on Phone' pulls out his phone again, and resumes his earlier conversation. This time he keeps looking over his shoulder.
Bloody BRILLIANT.
