Walked straight past...

Girl on mobile: "So then he leapt on my face..."

-Union bar.

There's logic in there somewhere

Bint 1: "I think pitbulls should be allowed to kill children!"
Bint 2: "No, it's not pitbulls that kill children, it's the owners who abuse the dogs!"

-Outside the Anthropology Dept.

I wasn't brave enough to tell him off

Leering builder: I like your hair!
Woman: uh, thanks.
Leering builder: Shame about yer big fuckin feet though!

--Tottenham Street.

Mr Toppers

London's cheapest haircut...

Middle-aged customer: "I dunno... you tell me... how do I make myself look less bald?"

Try pick-up lines that don't begin with "Essentially..."

Postgrad guy: "Essentially, what I want is to fuck..."

-The Union bar.

The Union Bar

Woman: "...and I persuaded him to mount me..."

Crazy guy

Crazy guy wanders into a minimart on Marchmont Street:

"Don't worry about zombies - they're just robots. I'm not a robot, man..."

Wanders out...

Welcome

This blog is intended to be an unashamed rip-off of the very excellent "Overheard in New York." It has come about because of some of the things I've heard people saying around UCL in the last couple of weeks. I wanted to call it "Overheard in London" but someone has taken that site and done nothing with it...
Anyway, despite the name, I'm hoping to collect more funny and/or stupid comments from what I'm sure will be a sizable and loyal group of readers... so any contributions are most welcome, and can be emailed to overheardatucl(at)googlemail.com or left in comments.

To kick things off, then:

Location: The computer room in one of UCL's medical school's buildings.

Student on mobile: "Yes mate, I need to get in touch with Mrs. Davidson, but I haven't got her number on me. Could you go in to my bedroom and find my phone book, it's in there... yeah, it's under 'M' for 'Mrs. Davidson.'"



Location: The History collection in one of the UK's premier research libraries.

Stoned-sounding American student #1: "Dude - where did most of the fighting in World War 1 take place?"

Stoned-sounding American student #2 "Uh, Germany?"

Stoned-sounding American student #1 "Yah, I guess... dude I don't know anything."



Location: The steps of the Wilkins building - a popular place for students to eat lunch. 5 or 6 hippy kids are sitting around eating the free vegetable curry given out by the Hare Krishna guy on Gower Street.

"Dude, £35 for a haircut?! That's like three albums!"
