What have you lot been chatting so far in 2024? Here's this month's Overheard in Notts...

Overheard

Child: “I hope I make it to fifty, that’s really old”

Children to teacher: “Sir, why don’t you live  nearer to school?”
Teacher: “Do you think I want to see you lot on Saturdays and Sundays?”

“I wish we’d domesticated bears”

Someone on a Zoom call: “I can see you and I can hear you”
Same person: “Say that again?”

“Nah man, you’re some salad”

“Honestly, I’m sick of capitalism”

“Get some 'ash browns... Yeah, 'ash browns... With an' h'...”

“What you got against arachnids?”

“Oh, that's the venue that the boys went to, isn't it? Music City”

“Leave it mate, it's not worth it."
"Yes it is. He's got my shoes."

"This ear is much more detailed than this ear"

“Can you open a window, I can smell my knee pads”

We have a favour to ask

LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
