a reader rants....

Girl 1: That man infuriates me! I mean, why would he text YOU to ask
how I am?
Girl 2: I know! It's ridiculous!
Girl 1: It\'s really starting to piss me off! You know why I think he
does it?
Girl 2: Why?
Girl 1: Because he knows that I'm annoyed with him!
Girl 2: Yeah.
Girl 1: All I ask for is ONE text message! Just ONE! I just want to
find out what's going on!
Girl 2: Yeah! Me too!
Girl 1: I mean, why be scared? At the end of the day it's only a text
message, you know what I mean?
Girl 2: Yup.
Girl 1: JUST a text message...

Not a conversation but me and a friend were waiting at the bus stop
around school home-time. A double decker full of schoolkids pulls up.
All the windows were open cos it was a hot day and we could see up on the
topdeck one girl who was standing leant against a seat was singing oh
happy day, very soulfully and really quite nicely; and the other kids,
miraculously were quiet. When she got to the chorus they all suddenly
joined in, bashing time on the windows like some evil little asbo gospel
choir. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, it sounded
amazing.

Then the bus drove off and the singing was drowned out by the traffic.
