"Isn't Dubai in Angola?"

I paid a long overdue visit to one of my old favourite websites "Tube Gossip" - a random collection of things overheard on London Underground journeys - today, and it is still as fabulous as ever.

Here's a recent selection...

• "I know I shouldn't be gloating at a teen mum's expense but I just hate her so much."
• "I think she's the friend of a naval officer."
• "I'm too old for that. I've already done all my rebellion and dressing up."
• "...and talking of fat, sour-faced, miserable old cows..."
• "So let me get this straight? You're asking me out on a date so you can get to know my boyfriend?"
• "Leona Lewis... yeah, she thinks she's sizzling, but she looks like an Afghan Hound."
• "We wont have time for dinner, so I’ll pick up something in Tesco. Some Flumps or something."
• "Isn't Dubai in Angola?"
• "He has more gin than hope these days."
• "What would you rather save? The whales? Or the banks?"

And my favourite:

• "It's not racist because chavs aren't a race."
