A great week with a couple of ozy friends

I'll get straight to the funny bit.

Who? Me and Mare, her friend from home Hayley, her boyfirned Vlad, Mare's London workmate Ian, and two random ladies in a restaurant.

The five of us (minus the two random ladies) went to lunch on Sunday last week. Hayley ad Vlad had stayed with Ian all week and we wanted to thank him for his hospitality by taking him out to lunch. Well lunch was great. Beer, food, wine, more wine, alot of laughs and it was time for dinner. And we were still at the lunch restaurant. So we hopped in a taxi and London Ian took us to another resaurant in the West End.

More food, wine, laughs and we were having a great time. As you would, there were loud laughs and jokes. Nothing unusual. As we were leaving, Ian noticed the two random ladies sitting a few tables away staring at him. So he asked in a polite English manner,

"Are you glaring at me for any particular reason?"
"I can't hear a thing my friend has been saying. We can't have a civilised conversation. Thats probably why this section of the resaurant is empty" Random lady A replied.
"Well you're in London," Says Ian.
"It doesnt matter where we are, you should have common curtousey for other people"
Now, we weren't doing anything that a bunch of people wouldnt be doing if they're having a good time, so this was a bit uncalled for. We all realised this and so did Ian. So he ended this most civilised of arguments with, "well back to the nunary with you!" And stormed out of the restaurant taken aback by the exchange, with the waiters apologising to him all the way.

We were all holding back the laughter at this hilarious argument which would never have happened in Aoustralia. We all laughed about it as Ian took us to an Italian cafe for coffee and cakes, and then to a bar in Soho for cocktails.

It was a great day finishing off a busy and fun week with Hayley and Vlad.
