Spoken things


These exerpts seemed somehow a bit American - or maybe not. But they seemed slightly different to the banter I'm used to....


Mona: Did anybaardy see the new Men In Black movie yet?
Jo: 'Black in time'?
Mona: That what it's called? - that's so stoopud
Jo: Not that but somethin like that
Mona: yah-ha
Andy: Right - it *is* as stoopud as that, it's just not that.

Judy cowering on her bike as it starts to really pelt it down:
Yikes! I furgaart my invisible shield

We were talking about the different places we had to get back to in Manhattan on our bikes at about 11.30pm and realised how near we were to Judy's (77th) whereas I am on 61, Mona on 45 and the others further down. We'd only ended up on 77th because of the Guthrie concert in Central Park and then sought refuge in a nearby eatery from the rain.
Judy in the middle of the throng of conversation: 'Yeah thanks for coming uptown to see me guys'

Barbara, 47 years of age, on being asked how she would describe herself in one word by Mona:
C*nt.
(I have no idea where that came from by the way - but it was very funny at the time.)

Mike (guy sits near me, describes what it's like being in his new team to an ex-team member in the elevator going down):

There's quide a lard of starrt-up time workin out what's going arn up there

How I would say it:

It's taking me while to get used to everything before I can actually be useful to the team
