From the Lion King to lost blueberries, here's what we overheard in Nottingham in April...

Overheard

“What’s the point of sisters?”

“To hit you in the nuts”

 

“I’ll do the doing, you do the worrying.”

 

“Chana masala? That sounds like something from The Lion King.”

 

"Someone's nicked mi' blueberries"

 

“What’s the point of sisters?”

“To hit you in the nuts”

 

“It's like crack cocaine. Once you start with the gardening…”

 

"I recognise you - didn't I beat you up at school once? Twice?"

[inaudible reply from other male]

"Three times?!"

 

[Two young lads on the bus talking about love]

 "Ah fam she's started calling my mum her mum-in-law now"

 

“It’s the only drink that makes me either sleepy… or a bitch”

 

"Mate she just straight up whistled in my face....then left"

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots.
