I have read that the volcano Vesuvius suffered six paroxysmal eruptions in the nineteenth century<\/p>\n
In 1839 1850 1855 1861 1868 and 1872<\/p>\n
I believe the next one was in 1906<\/p>\n
What has this got to do with the Brompton Road Nelly<\/p>\n
Nothing at all<\/p>\n
Then why bring it up<\/p>\n
Do you know that the Brompton Road runs from Knightsbridge to the Fulham Road<\/p>\n
Yes I live here<\/p>\n
Your parents are quite well off are they not<\/p>\n
You could say that<\/p>\n
Daddy owns a publishing house<\/p>\n
You should know that as you work there<\/p>\n
Have your parents ever climbed Vesuvius<\/p>\n
I am not sure I know that they have visited Pompeii<\/p>\n
Look over there<\/p>\n
Where<\/p>\n
By the coffee shop<\/p>\n
What am I supposed to be looking at<\/p>\n
That cyclist that chap in yellow was pushed off his bike by the man in the black car<\/p>\n
Why did he do that<\/p>\n
I am not sure<\/p>\n
Probably road rage<\/p>\n
Is the cyclist okay<\/p>\n
He looks to be anyway he has attracted a crowd<\/p>\n
The cops will be called<\/p>\n
But nothing will happen<\/p>\n
Do you know that if you over cook or over boil vegetables the vegetable salts will be lost<\/p>\n
My mother taught me to be gentle with vegetables<\/p>\n
Do you know that the square root of 1253 is to eight decimal places 35.39774004<\/p>\n
How do you know that as you normally terrible at sums<\/p>\n
Somebody had written in on the junction box near the tube station<\/p>\n
And you remembered it fully<\/p>\n
I wrote it in my diary<\/p>\n
You do not keep a diary<\/p>\n
In a parallel universe I keep a diary<\/p>\n
In a parallel universe the cyclist would not have been knocked off his bike<\/p>\n
Do you like pampas grasses<\/p>\n
I have never really thought about it<\/p>\n
Mummy had some in our Richmond garden<\/p>\n
Yes I remember them<\/p>\n
They were brought to Europe from South America and New Zealand<\/p>\n
My brother told me a joke about vegetables<\/p>\n
Tommy or Tim<\/p>\n
Tommy<\/p>\n
Then it is probably distasteful<\/p>\n
It is<\/p>\n
Do you want to hear it<\/p>\n
Not really<\/p>\n
What part of a vegetable can you not eat<\/p>\n
What vegetable<\/p>\n
It does not matter<\/p>\n
The core or the leaves or the skin<\/p>\n
You have not specified the vegetable so I have no geography<\/p>\n
The wheelchair<\/p>\n
The wheelchair<\/p>\n
That is a sick joke Nelly<\/p>\n
I know but you are smiling<\/p>\n
Shut up<\/p>\n
You are you are smiling<\/p>\n
Fuck off I am not<\/p>\n
At this time if I believed in coincidence then a troubled person in a wheelchair would pass us and you would feel ashamed<\/p>\n
I have looked on both sides of the street but I cannot see any wheelchairs<\/p>\n
Lots of buses and people but no wheelchairs<\/p>\n
What are you doing this weekend<\/p>\n
Popping down to the coast to see Jayne<\/p>\n
I need some sea air<\/p>\n
London is so grubby<\/p>\n
I shower twice a day bit still feel grubby<\/p>\n
What are you doing Cathy<\/p>\n
Studying for my exams<\/p>\n
When are they<\/p>\n
June<\/p>\n
Not long then<\/p>\n
I feel that I have not even started<\/p>\n
You will pass them<\/p>\n
I wish I had your confidence<\/p>\n
All my friends pass exams that is why I befriend them<\/p>\n
Kisses<\/p>\n
What<\/p>\n
Kisses<\/p>\n
I can see Phillip waiting for me<\/p>\n
He is so loyal<\/p>\n
You do not deserve him<\/p>\n
Kisses<\/p>\n
See you on Tuesday<\/p>\n
I will be by the tube station as normal<\/p>\n
Same time same place<\/p>\n
Kisses<\/p>\n
Enjoy the sea<\/p>\n
I will<\/p>\n
Give my love to your parents<\/p>\n
