freudian slip

between friends at the end of an unaccomplished day

friend 1: god, i've spent the day just f***ing!

friend 2: you mean f***ing around!

dirty mouth

friend-to-friend: s**t, i keep swearing lately!

rip-off train ticket

the scene: at a ticket office in a london overground train station

client to ticket office staff member: i didn't say i wanted to buy the train!!!

lost in london

the scene: standing in the queue to top up oyster card. 3 seemingly inebriated young men, let us call them london underground (LU) clients, are complaining to a staff member of the london underground (SMLU) that their tickets are not letting them in.

SMLU: the ticket assumed that you had completed your journey

LU client 1: we got lost before we completed our journey in the allocated time limit 

LU client 2 (in most incredulous voice he can muster): it assuuummed...it assuuumed that we had completed our journey???

SMLU: you can't get lost for 7 hours...

LU client 2 (still in incredulous tone): oh f*** you mate, this is london - you can easily get lost here for a couple of days!!!
