Oversized emojis and The Queen's Speech feature in this month's Overheard in Notts...

Overheard

“I drank so much I kinda spiked myself.”

 

“I’ve got you for Secret Santa. What’s your star-sign?”

 

College student to college student "They do like you, they just say you've got too much aura and don't want to hang out with someone with too much aura."

 

Someone on Channel 5: “I miss the Queen’s speech at Christmas, she’s been there my whole life.

Someone in Lenton: So have f-ing verrucas.”

 

“Why are the emojis so big?” (said in a voice of panic by a student)

 

“You know Bob Marley?”

“Never heard of him”

“You know. The “Jammin” man”

“Jam? Like strawberry jam? I thought you were talking about music.”

 

(angrily down the phone) “Yeah I’m on cloud nine. Stood next to the [censored] hazelnut stall.”

 

“It’s f-ing cold. Might set fire to a tree and stand behind it for half an hour.”

 

“Have you ever been to a laundrette?”

“That’s how you talk to girls.”
