I walked past two people on the way home from work who were saying
"It's note really worth bothering, because they could keel over and die tomorrow."
which made me very curious. A few weeks ago some people saying
"Kind of cold, kind of remote, sort of apple flavoured, but not really the sort of thing you'd expect in B&Q". and a bus driver talking to an inspector who had just hitched a ride
"I guess the Normans gave us the doomsday book, but I wonder as to the extent that was a real step forward in government, rather than merely a step toward the situation we find ourselves in now."
to which the inspector replied
"of course King Alfred ... ooh this is my stop" and got off. It's odd to think that there's an extended conversation about the early political history of Britain in three minute chunks moving around Cambridge on bus routes.
