Hey, I like your hat.

This morning, as I stepped off the bus, I bumped into someone who was walking past. I looked up to apologise but instead of saying 'Sorry' I said 'Hey, I like your hat'.

The gentleman in question looked quite charmed and it was a really nice hat.

Anything interesting happen on your way to work?

I ripped my coat, had to push my way through a scrum of schoolkids trying to get on a train I was getting off, completely read the Grauniad, waited on a freezing platform for half an hour.

Me? in a bad mood? never.

Phew. I thought I could detect some latent tension for a minute.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I ran to the bus stop. Got there just as it was abt to leave. i knocked on the door and the fucker ddin't stop and went off. i had to wait another 10 mins. bastard!

*smirk*

So much joy in the world this morning!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Good morning UK.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

'Smirk' - what a great word.

Good morning, Mary!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I love it when the British people wake up!

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

good morning all. I am in an OK mood now.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Lara! You've invented the perfect way to never have to say sorry again, for anything!

awww. if that happened to me, i'd spend the rest of the day all sappy and probably end up having a cry at some point. spontaneous pleasantries from strangers can work wonders on the dak heart of man, yo.

My train was half an hour late. And thus filled with all the people who'd been waiting for the two following trains, both of which passed through my station without stopping.

I mean, for GOD'S SAKE what is the POINT of deliberately not living in London when I still have to put up with tube-style crushes on too-small trains?? Except I don't even get to wait INDOORS. An hour later my feet are still cold.

AND there weren't ANY nice hats.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I can hear the people next door having cex.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:26 (twenty-two years ago)

eww, really?

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it gross? They seem to be enjoying it.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:28 (twenty-two years ago)

'You don't have to say you're sorry, if you like my hat.
You just have to smile and say it, I will understand.'

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Mary, you should know whether it's gross or not! Can you hear the yapping of animals or anything?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

It sounds okay to me, they are well suited to each other I think. It is quiet again.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Next-door sex is fun! This building is way too quiet.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Four minutes, start to finish? I'd drop him.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i wish i wouldn't get embarrassed for other people. what's with that?

that kinda thing is really weird.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe they are resting.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe they realised they'd embarrassed me and just shut the fuck up.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never heard a NY building referred to as 'too quiet.' JBR truly lives in the lap of luxury.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Next-door sex is fun! This building is way too quiet.

OMG! I have an excuse to start a thread on this now, I've been looking for one since Monday night

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

It is definitely over.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread? sorry

― Vic (Vic), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread lasts longer than my neighbors' cex.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I think most threads do. Or have I just been tremenduously unlucky with the men I've slept with?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you two neighbors? Cool!

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

It would not go quite if I was having sex with someone and it ended after four minutes. It suspect that it would get VERY LOUD AND ANGRY.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe that was just a warm-up?

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Come to think of it I only heard him and not her. Hmmm...

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha ha. Do men have noisy wanks?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm leavng now... *runs off*

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks IlXuK for brightening a bleak stretch of the night/morning. The sky is turning blue -- I think it is now safe to attempt sleep.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Admit it. You're off to have a noisy wank.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i was too loud, all my windows shattered.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Er...

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

can we talk about hats again now?

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes please. Or THINGS THAT HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO WORK.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Kangol. Ok, bye :)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Sidetrack - has either of you ever worn a hat whilst having a noisy wank on your daily commute?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I did witness such a thing the day after 9/11. NY really does have it all.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:37 (twenty-two years ago)

it wasn't me! don't look at me. i was nowhere near NY.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I am moving to New York.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 13 February 2003 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

There were delays on the tube today. We were stopped, and the driver announced that he's called for info, and been told that we were stopped because a train at the next station was stopped. His tone made it clear that he considered it a weak explanation. After a bit he said "I apologise for the diabolical service you are getting today. It's down to 25 years of appalling under-investment."

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 13 February 2003 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I woke up to another couple I heard outside my window. Maybe it's 'disaster sex' time again?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

This morning’s journey was another good one. I got a taxi from the bus stop to work because it's so cold. Just as I was stepping out of the car, the driver leaned out of his seat and told me that it was lovely chatting to me and that I am a really lovely girl; he wished me a happy Valentine's Day and *winked*.

Then when I got to the office I was going through the security doors and there was an alert. I had to back out of the carousel and the security guard said: "I don't think it likes your hat but I do."

Tra la. Fleeting, pleasant interaction likes this makes my day.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 14 February 2003 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

What was his hat like?

What is your hat like?

― Ian SPACK (Ian SPACK), Friday, 14 February 2003 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

once i was on the tube when it stopped and the guy made an apology then went "BLLLLLLAAAAAARRRRRQQKQQKQQQQQKKKKK". not sure if he meant to leave the tannoy on or not but it was hilarious, everyone laughed at his crazy spastic noise
a truly magical moment

― schnell schnell, Friday, 14 February 2003 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

nay
