english boys

one night out at the infamous purple turtle, 2 guys came over to a table of us girls and asked if they could show us a magic trick. after we agreed, they asked for a volunteer and jill stepped forward. they asked for the ashtray and then asked her to hold out her hands, palms down fingers out. they moved her hands out and they asked her to close her fists. they then placed a dot of ash on top of her hand, then they wipped it away. they asked jill to turn her hands over and - tada! - there was ash on the underside of her hand where they wipped ash away on the top side. we were impressed . we sat and talked with them for awhile, they seemed very interested in jill and rachel. i left early however as i was tired and the music was loud.

they invited us out for the next night. one was a manager of a posh (which we found out was a word that originated from the early days of the titanic where the rich people stayed on the Port Of Star Harbor = POSH) bar in oxford. it was a good time there. we love their accents and they can't get enough of american girl accents - how weird. after the bar we walked to the PT ( or the lavender tortoise, urple nurple or anything else that rhymes with Purple Turtle) and crystal and i sat and watched the others get down to some english techno. english boys bring great fun!
