Londoner’s Life 44 – Overheard by Phil Ryan

Spread the love

Autumn leaves are falling and the parks are looking beautiful. My weekend was taken over by a birthday party and to be honest I hadn’t really got anything I liked for my main story. BUT of course London always delivers. And so I got this waiting in my Dentists waiting room. But first my killer line from a passing phone conversation at London Bridge station.
‘Distinguished looking guy in suit’ “Okay so we’re agreed. She’s a tart and he’s a buffoon. I’ll bring the dips”
Sadly I needed a tooth removed on Monday but whilst waiting outside in the ‘rest area’ as my clinic calls it I saw two twenty something’s. Cool dude and super cool dude. Cool dude “So the web hub starts Wednesday” Super cool dude “Hm. Richies Dad put the money up I hear. His mother’s one of my biggest fans. I told her about my toothache and she had a taxi come round with fennel tea” Cool dude “What a star. I hear she does that new therapy with willow sticks” Super cool dude “No that Simeon’s mother. Richie’s mother uses hot stones and I think they’re from a Mayan temple site” Cool dude “Ooh yeah she sorted out Bella’s cat with them. She’s outrageous. She came to the office and cleared the negative energy” Super cool dude “Cool. It needed it. I had diarrhoea for a week when we first moved in and it just went. And now we’ve got six new clients signed up to our Social networking service and the new servers are going to make a huge difference. Steve has four meetings this week and I’ve got four so we really are making waves. I think we could dominate the twittersphere by Christmas now we’ve got the Indians online” Cool dude “How so?” Super cool dude “Well we give them tons of material and they just keep getting it out there 24 and 7. They’re like robots. They never sleep. We made the Evening Standard and the Times twice last week. Outsourcing is the future of successful business my friend it really is” Cool dude “Yeah but you’ve got that money from your Grandmother so you don’t really need to work do you” Super cool dude “Okay true but I get so bored skiing all the time”
Then I was called into the surgery. It’s another world folks!
