Strolling down Tib st on Monday eve, a couple of students strode past me at pace, the girl obviously annoyed by something that must have happened minutes before, her incredibly shiny hair swished like a Pantene advert, it's glossy ends flicking round to lick the boys face with its follicles. He stopped, Matt black DM shoes halted firmly in a shallow puddle, little flecks of watery mud pebble dashing bright white-held up tight socks, he pulled up his trousers slightly revealing a belt and braces, surely you only need one of that combo to hold them up I wondered.... the girl stopped and spun round on her ballet pumps, her unsocked feet veiny and slightly blue from the cold-in comparison her face shone red with frustration. "Stop looking at me in that way!" She yelled arms in the air-several skaters resting on the railings outside Note looked, quietened for a second then returned full attention to their boards. She shook her hands to get his attention as he wasn't actually looking at her- he finally looked up from gazing at the puddle, light reddish ringlets slightly obscuring his view- she now had his full attention so repeated "stop looking at me in that way!" Louder, he squinted and a puzzled frown entered his face, he'd lost interest within seconds and started tucking his clash T-shirt into his jeans... she huffed loudly and stamped a ballet pump making a muffled thud- "what way?" He replied finally- bored of her games - she'd lost the impetus and knew the ball was in his court and he wasn't playing tennis. "With your eyes" she muttered as she spun away, hair incredible fanning again-releasing a smell of flowers and promises- he smelt the allure, reentered the court and followed her "MORON" she flicked back at him like a cigarette butt - a smile flickering on her glossy pink lips as she bounced ahead and he drifted behind loyalty reinstated... #lettering #typography #design #manchester #overheardwords #mcr

"Oy love, oy,oy, oy love... love? Oy..." walking home last night on lever st this was the mating call of a slightly limping (think it was fashion limp rather than medical) broad accented Scottish lad to two women who were obviously just leaving work and regretting wearing heels on a Friday. "Oy, oyyyyy" he continued as they rounded the corner to church street, he chirped still slightly behind them but near enough for them to see out of the corner of their eye and have the bile rising realisation that they indeed were his chosen prey and at least 5 Carlsburg ahead of them (not that they looked like they drank Carlsburg) the trotted a little faster and he was intercepted by a van on spear street giving up to join his mates near the flower beds who were busy laughing at him,spitting joyously on the floor and creating plumes of kinky smelling smoke- he tumbled into the fold stealing a drag from a smaller compadre whose socks were pulled so high with his tea lies tucked in he resembled some type of unintentional golf/street style mix. The seeming leader patted the lads denim jacket... mate he smiled, eyes slightly shut & exhaling smoke through his grin. "Maaaaaate, you gotta cover that desperation, you reek of it mate" the others laughed and sniffed the air a bundle of eager to please puppies "and well.... the ladies can smell desperation... desperation smells like that tooth infection you had" pat pat pat on denim shoulders, then a laugh as they drew him in and knuckled his cropped hair and eyed up another set of girls leaving basil chambers #lettering #overheardwords #busstopsandchipshops

He's just to fleshy looking' for my liking - #overheardwords two teenage girls walking behind a Young bic shaved, carrot trousered lad on church street. Their topknots tied so tight they seemed to not understand that he could blatantly hear them... or they did-not sure #lettering #illustration #typography #mundaneaday
