London bus
A woman talking to a friend:
"... surely it's more expensive because of costs of turbines ... he literally does it from start to finish ... all those materials ... it does make for some beautiful diagrams ... you have lost me there. As soon as you mention the word mathematics. ... This is the sort of thing that I need to ... aren't people who are dealing with this kind of thinking ..."

An old university friend I ran into:
"I kind of like the idea of travelling round the world fathering illegitimate children on a host of women and then having an independent letter writing existence, so I could just receive letters from them.
"And then being able to have a huge reunion where they all get to meet me at the same time, possibly when I am in my 60s and dying of cancer.
"The relationships would be brief but extremely loving and meaningful."

Two old men:
"No, I see what you mean, cause on the FA cup, but they used to play years ago [...]
"For years you haven't got a minute older, J-.
"I wish that were true brain-wise.
"There's another bit of roadworks there. That's what's holding it up [...] It was 2:2
"Was it 2:2?
"Yesterday"

Andi Snelling, 26:
"I have a housemate from Brazil, she applied for a post-study visa just as I did [...] There she was at the kitchen table and she was opening this parcel with her visa in it and actually it made me cry.
"My mum is entitled to an Irish passport but I am not because you have to have a parent or grandparent born in the UK to get a passport. My mum can but I cannot, because I was born one generation too late."
