I've been noticing how much people gesture when they are having a conversation,even when they are on the phone.Just talking isn't enough ...and I was thinking maybe this is why I find listening to the radio so unsatisfying...so much of the expression is absent.
One snippet I witnessed this week:
1st student(approaching fellow student outside uni library)
"How did your night turn out? Did you get rid of that woman in purple?"
2nd student
"Nah..she was all over me.I kept dancing away from her like this (demonstrates backwards shuffle with both elbows raised and pointing forwards) but she kept moving in.She wouldn't take the hint."
1st student
"If that had been the other way round it would have been rape"

I was on the stairs proceeding my way up to the roof terrace on a lovely sunny day. Two young females past me. I overheard one state her anguish over soemthing to the other. The freind relied "Oh dont worry about, i often get that when i get alcohol poisining' The three of us then laughed. Welcome to the university of life.

I proceeded down the staircase to the short staffed bar from the non staffed upstairs bar. The bartender answered a call for we suspect a job. 'No sorry its usually quite now till Christmas' 'THE PRESENT SEASON IS SPRING I SAID'
