Bananas

I walk our dog nearly every night at about the same time - around 10pm. We do a small circuit of the street we live on and normally we bump into the same people.

One of our neighbours is Italian and he has a Westie which gets on particularly well with our Yorkshire Terrier so we normally have a little chat. His accent is amazing and we have some fantastic conversations. This was last nights:

Neighbour: 'When does your girlfriend go to work?'

Me: 'Shes back in september as she is a teacher'

Neighbour: 'I know'

Me: 'Are you going on holiday this year?'

Neighbour: 'No. We're going on holiday next month. You got to have holidays - life is...'

Me: 'Tiring? too short?'

Neighbour: 'is like a banana innit. You have to grow...it. What is your job again?'

Me: 'Computers mainly'

Neighbour: 'I know'

Brilliant.
