Ok, so the concert mentioned in yesterday's post wasn't that bad, and I enjoyed getting away from the computer for a while. Though, I'm not going to write about the concert, in fact I'm going to tell you about some of the more fabulous things that happened.

Getting off the train back from the concert we had a rather unusual phone call to answer. Well unusual because it was a pay phone we were answering. Being slightly drunk also made this more amusing than it was.. but here goes the conversation (as much as I can remember it)

We: hello?
Caller: Yeah, hear me now, hear me now, to who is I speaking?
We: This is random guy in the train station, nice of you to call.
Caller: Yeah, yeah, where is you at? yeah...
We: Where is I at?
Caller: Where is you at maan.. I'm calling you like, bitching, forever..
We: We is at, the , bitching, train, station, init.
Caller: You takin' the piss maan? Is it, like, you disrespect me?
We: Is I disrespecting you like?
Caller: Yeah maan, is you disprespect me, 'cause I is not feeling your love brother..
We: I is not disrespecting your love.
Caller(interups): Where is you at maan, I ask you..
We: We is at the train station init.
Caller: Maan you don't tell me like it is.. where is your ass yeah.
We: My ass is in the train station talking to your ass.
Caller: Where is this train station maan..
We: This is the train station in Queen's street maan.
Caller: You disrespect me like.
We: Is it like?
Caller(at this point the caller decided to use a Ali-G line) Is it 'cause I black?
We: Is it 'cause you black?
Caller: Yeah maan is it 'cause I black?
We: It is not cause you black maan.
Caller: Is you black?
We: I is not black.
Caller: Ah (really hadn't thought this conversation would take this long had you?)
We: I is black on the inside init.
Caller: (laughs) Really you is black on the inside isit?
We: I is black on the inside brother.
Caller: (laughs so much that there's quite a pause)
We: Thanks for your call brother.

And so with that I hung up. Funny thing is that I was laughing just as much as the caller, which was clearly an intended prank call by a black dude and his mates probably somewhere in the UK, but god knows where. Probably made his night.

Hear me now. If you need further information about Ali G, and his comedy personas, please search google, where you will no doubt find that one of his most famous lines is "is it 'cause I black" - This post is not intended as a racial slur, I am mearly reporting an event as is actually happend. The fact that we both enjoyed this rather stupid conversation is proof that it was innocent fun. He phoned a random number for a laugh with his mates, I obliged by with a bit of tounge in cheek mockery. Hear me now.
