Durham General Chat Thread

So I was in town today, doing my veg shop, when I began to wonder...

What the hell is up with all the accordionists?

Where did they come from? What do they want?

I can't actually believe that a gypsy is allowed to go around selling charms in this day and age... There should be a law allowing me to execute a certain quota of human rubbish every day. I wouldn't actually kill them, because I don't like that idea... but with a single hateful glare they would be transported far away... so far that they may never see my sun again.

Why are you guys so sceptical? I just bought fifty-odd magical gypsy charms so I'll do well on my exams.

A few years ago I bought a "lucky duck" made of glass from this place.. http://www.whitbyluckyducks.com/

Over Easter it fell off my shelf and I accidentally stood on it in bare feet. It's neck snapped and a shard of glass cut into the sole of my foot. Heavy bleeding ensued. Lucky my arse

Did you encounter the "gypsy" selling charms? It seems Durham has too many superstitious freaks that would buy that sort of stuff...

I love buskers. Always seems to make the atmosphere happier somehow.

Like the Gypsy who accosted me on Market Square and proceeded to tell me I was "going to do well in exams" and that I was going to be "very successful" and "be an important person in London". I just replied that I hope not otherwise I might as well end my life now. I don't think she got it.

She's (and the really camp guy one) always trying to sell them to me.

That was the first time I met the gypsies. We just politely declined and she said god bless you or something like that...
