Things I learnt from the girls in front of me on the bus
- She shouldn’t wear dresses like that. Seriously.
- She looks like a total hobbit when she wears that dress.
- Like, all trunk and no legs. Seriously.
- Marquee parties are just the worst.
- If either of these girls eat another canape they’ll, like, totally vom. Seriously.
- Marquee parties are totally rubbish because they’re out in the country so you have to talk to loads of people they hate
- and there’s never enough food
- and they don’t even do cocktails. Seriously.
- Except for girl B’s friend, Tiggy
- Tiggy’s marquee parties are the best because they’re, like, outside, but they’re in London, because her garden is, like, huge
- and she, like, always has loads of canapes like mini fish and chips and mini desserts
- and, like, loads of cocktails as well as champagne and wine
- The worst parties, like, ever, are when you get jews not drinking enough and christians drinking too much
- That’s so much worse than the other way around. Seriously.
- When girl A’s cousin gets married, she says she wants a small wedding
- Girl A will, like, obviously be there however small it is
- She thinks, however, that a big wedding would be more of a laugh
- That’s ok, though, because apparently Girl A’s cousin is, like, so totally bullyable that Girl A is going to be able to make her change it.
- Mutual friend E has just joined Facebook
- She’s put her wedding photos up, too
- The cool thing is you, like, totally can’t tell she was five months pregnant at all
- Girl B thinks it’s sweet that they got married before the baby arrived.
- Girl A would rather wait until the baby was born.
- She thinks it’s much better to be thin and wasted than fat and sober.
- They’re going to re-synch the traffic lights on Kensington High St when they extend the congestion charge.
- This will give the impression of better-flowing traffic through the area.
- That’s so naughty. Seriously.
- In the movie In Her Shoes, Girl B didn’t think that they were all supposed to be Jewish, because Cameron Diaz is, like, so totally not Jewish.
