F1155: //What's, is that the thing where you get all the free, oh yeah.//
F1154: Designed? Combined. //Yeah.//
F1155: //I've heard of it then.// Oh, cause the people, there's girls that
live upstairs from us, two of them always wear //army costumes,//
F1154: //[sniff]//
F1155: like, [laugh] I think they're in that TA thing. //And they always//
F1154: //No.//
F1155: wear that and then there's this other one who's kind of Gothic
looking. I thought that she was a bit kind of Gothic looking but //she's
not//
F1154: //Yeah.// //Oh.//
F1155: //fat so, can't be her.// [laugh] //She's quite skinny.//
F1154: //No.// No this, [CENSORED: forename], she's
F1155: So but erm [CENSORED: forename] //thought she saw her.//
F1154: //But the one that has// white, she has wh- like pretty much white
peroxide hair the now, and er she's pretty chunky at the minute. //And
she's got a really ugly boyfriend who looks like Marilyn Manson,//
F1155: //Well,//
F1154: and she looks like Courtney Love. [laugh] //[laugh]//
F1155: //[CENSORED: forename], [CENSORED: forename] thinks she saw her a
wee while ago.// //But erm//
F1154: //Probably.//
F1155: our our whole front of our building looks an absolute mess because
someone had a fight last weekend, smashed the glass, the door closer
doesn't work and there's like broken glass [inaudible] and there's blood
all over the hallway.
F1154: Oh, //what?//
F1155: //And someone put a note up saying "Please// can you tidy", like
"please can you repair this, //whoever it was", and it's still not been
fixed, but erm the woman that lives downstairs from us has got a wee
boy,//
F1154: //[sniff]//
F1155: and that's what, I think it was her that put the note up, //to say
like//
F1154: //Yeah.//
F1155: "for God's sake", kind of thing. //[cough] But.//
F1154: //[cough]// Anyway, we should probably talk about something
relevant. //Erm,//
F1155: //Yeah.// //[laugh]//
F1154: //So where are your parents actually from then?//
F1155: [laugh] Well,
F1154: Well!
F1155: my mum is from Reading, originally, //but//
F1154: //Really?//
F1155: but that was only until she was like one and then she moved to
Glasgow and then she moved to Portpatrick. //[laugh] The Stranraer
twang.//
F1154: //Oh Portpatrick. [laugh]//
F1155: And //my dad//
F1154: //Yeah, that's a lovely twang to have.// //Oh!//
F1155: //my dad was born in Elderslie which is the birthplace of William
Wallace,// //[laugh] or Sir William Wallace,//
F1154: //There you go!//
F1155: and then erm he lived there pretty much all of his life.
F1154: Yeah, your dad's got quite a cool accent.
F1155: Mm.
F1154: No. Well my family are from Castle Douglas and well no, I think my
dad was a- I think my dad's side of the family lived in Dalbeattie until
[tut], I don't know, but then they lived in Castle Douglas. Pretty much all
my family are from Castle Douglas.
F1155: Mm.
F1154: The only person in my family who doesn't live in Castle Douglas any
more //is my auntie. She lives in Milton Keynes.//
F1155: //Is your auntie who lives in Milton Keynes.//
F1154: Hm. //That's cool actually.//
F1155: //Ah. [laugh]//
F1154: [CENSORED: forename] //[inaudible] [CENSORED: forename].//
F1155: //[laugh]// //Aw.//
F1154: //No.// I missed them, apparently they were down to see my mum last
week in the big new house. Erm, but they we- came on Sunday night and left
Wednesday I think, //so//
F1155: //Oh right, just your auntie and// //they-//
F1154: //yeah, Auntie [CENSORED: surname], so.// Erm yeah. //I'm going home
next Wednesday//
F1155: //Hm.// //Why?//
F1154: //till Sunday.// Erm, cause I'm skint. [laugh] Erm and I've got five
books to read, erm four essays to do, two presentations to //do,//
F1155: //[laugh]//
F1154: all within the next few weeks, so I'm basically gonna get all my
books from the library and just go home,
F1155: Mm.
F1154: erm and study and buy my mum a present so she doesn't go ape-shit
//that I've had//
F1155: //But she will anyway.//
F1154: she will, she's gonna do that whole disgusted look thing, like "mm
//[tut]".//
F1155: //Try and, when you go in just try and go like that, like//
//[laugh]//
F1154: //No, I'm just gonna go in and go "Hey mum!"// //[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh]// Oh God.
F1154: But, yeah.
F1155: Well!
F1154: Oh yeah, [CENSORED: forename], I don't know if she's living with mum
or if she's still living in Dalbeattie, erm
F1155: Why?
F1154: Her and [CENSORED: forename] split up last week.
F1155: [inhale]
F1154: Oh no! //So,//
F1155: //Oh my God!//
F1154: yeah I know, so it's really weird, cause she's living with him and
he works for dad, //in the haulage company.//
F1155: //What, how did that happen?// Just
F1154: Erm they both kind of weren't happy. Well [CENSORED: forename]
really wasn't happy, and then like for months, remember I told you she
really wasn't //like//
F1155: //Mm.//
F1154: and erm she said "[CENSORED: forename], oh we need to have a chat".
F1155: Mmhm.
F1154: Erm apparently [sniff] erm he said "Yeah, I think so as well", and
then they had a chat, blah blah blah. [mobile phone interference and
vibration] //[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh]// //[laugh] [cough]//
F1154: //Oh well, at least it was on vibrate, yeah, erm.// //And//
F1155: //Oh no.// //That's a shame.//
F1154: //yeah,// they both agreed on it, but I don't know what's
happening.
F1155: How many years was that?
F1154: Five.
F1155: Aw. //So what are they doing about the house then?//
F1154: //Yeah.// I don't know, I don't know what's happening. I've not
spoke to her. She came up and she kind of avoided the whole subject, so I
just left it.
F1155: Was she really upset or //sh-//
F1154: //Yeah, she went to a// party and got, [laugh] stayed out all night,
sort of thing, so, erm cause that's not [CENSORED: forename] behaviour. I
don't think it was really a "party", not what I would class as a party,
//it was probably more socialised than that, but//
F1155: //[laugh]// Mm that's a shame. //But she's got like [CENSORED:
forename] and everyone to//
F1154: //Mm.// Yeah.
F1155: help her.
F1154: Oh, guess who's been erm sending me messages on Bebo? //[CENSORED:
forename] [CENSORED: surname]!//
F1155: //Er,// oh, I thought you were going to say [CENSORED: forename]
[CENSORED: surname], I don't know why. [laugh] //She normally//
F1154: //No. [laugh] [sniff]//
F1155: I thought she was Beboing you for a while, //or texting you or
something.//
F1154: //Erm, mm.// //No, only once.//
F1155: //Why's [CENSORED: forename] [CENSORED: surname] been then?//
//[laugh]//
F1154: //Cause he was totally trying to fire into me! [laugh]// //And I I
dropped a bit of a bombshell on [CENSORED: forename]. [laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh] [CENSORED: forename]! [laugh]// //[laugh] What did you
say?//
F1154: //And then er// //Like, come on now, I'm not going to talk about
that. No, erm//
F1155: //[laugh]// //Oops.//
F1154: //No, just kinda// he was like "Oh what?" //[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh]// //[laugh]//
F1154: //And all but his messages, you know how, have you ever like s-
talked to [CENSORED: forename] and she sends you like// //they write in
like//
F1155: //I never, I've never spoke to her.// //Oh yeah yeah yeah.
[laugh]//
F1154: //Scots, sort of, it's like "Aw whit", [laugh]// "[?]furra[/?], gone
back to C.D. erm", [laugh] kind of thing. //But,//
F1155: //I wonder what that noise was.//
F1154: I don't know. [inhale] //So,//
F1155: //Oh God, lucky you!//
F1154: have you actually, have you seen him now? He looks completely
different from how he looked at school. //And he walk-//
F1155: //I can't even remember what he looks like.// Was he the one that
got stung on the throat with a bee s- //by a bee or a wasp? [laugh]//
F1154: //Yeah. It went, remember it was like a n-// //at primary, and he
was like drinking a can of juice,//
F1155: //[laugh]// //[laugh] A can o Irn Bru. [laugh]//
F1154: //or something like that.// //I thought it was Vimto, it was Vimto
in my head, but//
F1155: //[laugh]// Irn Bru's a bit stickier, is it not? [laugh]
//[laugh]//
F1154: //Oh well, are we going into the wasp territory? Well,//
F1155: Oh! //[laugh]//
F1154: //they clearly like Irn Bru more; it's stickier. [laugh]//
F1155: Oh and Boogie's incontinent. //[laugh] Had to get her erm pi- pills
from the doc- er the vet to get her non- con- incontinent.//
F1154: //Oh no!// //Continent! [laugh]//
F1155: //or fully co- fully continent. [laugh]// //So, she's okay
though.//
F1154: //Oh.// Oh, that's a wee shame. //Wee Boogs.//
F1155: //But, and my dad// my dad came back from Costa Rica, he lived on
rice and pineapple for two weeks and he's actually about a stone lighter.
F1154: [laugh]
F1155: And he trekked non-stop all day, every day, so.
F1154: Why was he in Costa Rica?
F1155: For erm that, well I don't really know what it was called, something
like [?]Sing with School[/?], for like about forty people go, and they they
climb up some volcano or something, I don't really know. //Well he was away

surname] was away and stuff.
F1154: That wee one. //Aye.//

F1155: See when you said you were going home, I thought, oh I imagined you
were going to your old house. //[laugh]//
F1154: //So did I! Cause like this// time of year, and you not think //when
it get- starts//
F1155: //Mmhm.//
F1154: to get all dark and stuff and for some reason I had it in my head,
like, going home and then the whole trek to school and stuff, and er
F1155: Mm. //I totally//
F1154: //like//
F1155: I totally thought you we-, when you said like, I forgot you had a
new house. [laugh]
F1154: Yeah, I keep forgetting as well. //I don't know.//
F1155: //So how are you getting, are they getting on// with the
redecorating //[?]kinda[/?]?//
F1154: //Yeah, apparently the garden's looking really good.// Erm and the
stick shed's done, so there-, I think we just //need to get//
F1155: //Mm.//
F1154: wood, which I think, you know, to be fair, is not going to be that
hard with //the haulage, you know,//
F1155: //No. Mm.//
F1154: company, so. [inhale] //But,//
F1155: //Mm.//
F1154: it's like "Oh look at us go!" //[laugh] "We've a stick shed".
[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh] Have the people, have the people next door moved out?//
F1154: I don't know. //Er,//
F1155: //Mm.//
F1154: they're just building a new h-, they're got like so much land that
they're just building their new house behind their own, so I don't think
they're in any rush //to move,//
F1155: //Oh right, okay, fair enough.//
F1154: but.
F1155: Mm. //[sucks air through teeth]//
F1154: //Mm, no,// but as soon as my granny finds out I'm going to be going
home she's gonna be there and she's gonna be like "[CENSORED: forename]
[CENSORED: surname], what have you done to your //face?"//
F1155: //[laugh]// //[laugh]//
F1154: //[cough]// //But,//
F1155: //I'm sure she won't mind.//
F1154: no.
F1155: I saw erm [CENSORED: forename]'s Bebo face, she looks so different.
F1154: Really?
F1155: Yeah. //I don't know.//
F1154: //Thin?// //[laugh]//
F1155: //Kind of.// //Mm.//
F1154: //Really? I'm I'm supposed to be meeting up with her, so,// so, I
think sh- she's still working in Gowan's I think.
F1155: Oh really. //[laugh]//
F1154: //Oh!//
F1155: Has [CENSORED: forename] come back to Uni?
F1154: [CENSORED: forename] is still at the Crichton, apparently, he's at
the Crichton Campus.
F1155: Oh, I remember her saying that because, something like, he was gonna
some Accountancy thing or something.
F1154: Yes, because erm, he's putting the relationship first, //so erm//
F1155: //Oh right. [laugh]//
F1154: he's apparently left Glasgow, //and//
F1155: //For good?//
F1154: I think so, so now he's studying at the Crichton Campus, because
it's like obviously right near.
F1155: Cause what, she said to me, he's either going to tran- like see if
he could do the same course but come here, come home to do it. //Or//
F1154: //Mmhm.//
F1155: change and do something there, I was like //just cause she's too
lazy, see.//
F1154: //Yeah. [sniff]// //Well it's just cause she had no//
F1155: //Yeah.//
F1154: friends up here cause she didn't do anything except work, and
//skive.//
F1155: //Mm.// //[laugh]//
F1154: //But I don't know, erm// Yeah, but do you not think it's really
funny, cause remember when we were at at er school and they came and gave
us a big talk for the Crichton Campus, //to try and stop//
F1155: //Oh yeah.//
F1154: like stop us from leaving the region.
F1155: [inhale] //Was it not [CENSORED: forename] that sort of put
[laugh]//
F1154: //Erm, no, [CENSORED: forename] put// in the suggestion box for M-,
on [CENSORED: forename]'s behalf, he wrote that pretend one saying
"[CENSORED: forename] [CENSORED: surname], send me information about it",
and he //sent me a text, uh-huh he had to he had to//
F1155: //Oh right, he had to apologise or something [inaudible].//
//[laugh]//
F1154: //phone up the people at the Crichton, apologise// for sending this,
but do you not think it was really funny now? [CENSORED: forename] got in
trouble for, cause [CENSORED: forename] went mental cause he didn't want to
go to the Crichton Campus and it was a load of rubbish, //and now
[CENSORED: forename] is at the Crichton Campus.//
F1155: //And now [CENSORED: forename] is at the Crichton Campus! [laugh]//
//[laugh]//
F1154: //That is brilliant.//
F1155: Oh, P- [CENSORED: forename]'s doing her degree at the Crichton
Campus, //well her courses.//
F1154: //What's it in again?//
F1155: Er, Customer Services. //[laugh]//
F1154: //[laugh]//
F1155: And the ECDL, or whatever it is, European Computer Driving Licence.
But she's finished the Customer Services one. //So.//
F1154: //Cool.//
F1155: [laugh] And I'm well hacked off cause I, erm, I've got to go home
for my Christmas lunch, twenty-two fifty!
F1154: Eh? //Where is it, where's your Christmas lunch? Is that the
[?]Ferry Kinkyle[/?] one?//
F1155: //Yeah, some place in C- uh-huh.// See in Dumfries, right, the
place, the Jazz Café or something?
F1154: The what?
F1155: The Jazz Café. //No, what's it called, the Rift//
F1154: //The Jazz Café?//
F1155: Valley Jazz Café, I was like, where the hell is that? //No.//
F1154: //Did they tell you where it was?// The Rift Valley Jazz Café.
F1155: Apparently a woman from the Dumfries office picked it; I don't
actually know where it is. And the men- [laugh] the menu, [laugh] Paula
sent the menu, cause like you've got to pick now //what you want to eat on
Christmas Day, er like the day before Christmas, I was like "for God's
sake",//
F1154: //[sniff]// //[laugh] [cough]//
F1155: //so I picked, and I could even understand what half the stuff was,
like what's fried spatzel?// //Yeah.//
F1154: //Spatzel? That does not like// //sound like something edible.//
F1155: //Either, it either sounds like potato or sausages or something,//
//like, I don't know, no.//
F1154: //Yeah, it doesn't sound like something edible.//
F1155: But erm the starters was, what was it, butterbean, chive and leek
soup. //[laugh] Then there was//
F1154: //Oh Christmassy! [inhale]//
F1155: prawns, something else and something else that I didn't like, all
fish, so I'm like mm. And then for the main course, the the turkey was
pan-roasted turkey with erm puréed something, sautéed something else, it
was like wasn't even like normal turkey, it was like chestnuts and stuff, I
was like //I'm like I didn't, I didn't even//
F1154: //Well some people do that though.//
F1155: pick the turkey, [laugh] I picked beef
F1154: [laugh] //We usually have turkey and beef on Christmas.//
F1155: //so.//
F1154: It's really weird, it's gonna be so weird in the new //house,//
F1155: //Mm.// //That'll be good. It'll look good in your big Christmas
tree.//
F1154: //cause I don't know how what, right, what what room, what sitting
room should we have?// //I know what one you're gonna pick.//
F1155: //I think th- I think that// //[laugh] I think, yeah, that would be
nice.//
F1154: //You're going to pick your favourite one, aren't you?// //Yeah, we
could have a big tree though, couldn't we, like in the window.//
F1155: //Oh well the other one the other one's a bit bigger though, is it
not? Mm.//
F1154: It'll look really nice, but, yeah, Christmas'll be good, I think.
F1155: I can't b-, it's, do you know something, it's, yesterday, two months
to Christmas. Two months to Christmas Day, no two months to Christmas Day
on Wednesday //actually.//
F1154: //Yeah.// That's terrifying. [CENSORED: forename]'s mum's down the

cause they had vouchers. And she came back with like little red candle
holders and these little like, I don't know er what you'd call them, like
trellisy placemat things, like //all//
F1155: //Oh right, uh-huh.//
F1154: like the kind of thing you buy in designs. And erm //yeah.//
F1155: //[laugh]// That's organised.
F1154: All this stuff, and I was sitting going "So, it's, oh no, when I go
home next week, my mum's going to want to go Christmas //shopping.//
F1155: //Mmhm.// //My mum's not, she's not organised enough for that.//
F1154: //But.// //My mum's, I do all my//
F1155: //But they're they're//
F1154: shopping like the week before, and I get really stressed about it
but [exhale] //just.//

F1154: //Really? What are they doing with the old one?// //[sniff]//
F1155: //Well, I don't know, maybe housing or something el-, I don't//
//know.//
F1154: //Oh there's a shock.// //Let's build more houses in Castle
Douglas.//
F1155: //Everyone, everyone's saying, yeah, everyone's saying it's either
going to be housing or// don't know, oh there's something about, the
council or, I don't even know, don't know, erm. [sniff] But my mum's like,

he said she kept calling him it the whole time, he was like "There you go",
and he's like er "This person was in for condoms, this person was in for

F1154: //No.//
F1155: Mm.
F1154: Oh. It is, it is, I just don't like going into the chemist,
especially in Castle Douglas, cause you just think they're all gonna //know
everything.//
F1155: //[CENSORED: forename], [CENSORED: forename] [CENSORED: surname]
works in there as well.// //So they actually,//
F1154: //Yeah, I know.//
F1155: everyone works in there but also did you hear, you see erm, have you
heard of that //company?//
F1154: //What time's it?//
F1155: Farepak?
F1154: No.
F1155: Well I don't really know, we- well basically it's this thing where
//you pay money in//
F1154: //[cough]//
F1155: every month or something for Christmas and it, like basically you
can put it toward like vouchers //or toys or stuff//
F1154: //Oh I think I've// //Yeah.//
F1155: //and erm like// basically the company's gone bust and everyone's
lost all their money.
F1154: Someone told me about that. //Ho-.//
F1155: //My mum's lost three hundred quid.//
F1154: Shite.
F1155: And sh- like, she's like "Oh, if I don't get it back", and I was
like "No, you have to get it back", cause some people have put in like a
thousand pounds.
F1154: Get get your dad to phone up, he won't take any shit.
F1155: The thing i- the thing is though like, she feels a bit bad though
cause see some of the like receptionists and //stuff, they've//
F1154: //[sniff]//
F1155: loads of money, and like for them not having that is quite //you
know,//
F1154: //Yeah.//
F1155: it's not the, it's like not the end of the world, but then it is
quite, like, you know, if that's all, if that's what they've put by for
F1154: Exactly, that's like money they've //that's specifically put by for
Christmas,//
F1155: //Uh-huh.// //And now they won't have it. Mmhm.//
F1154: //so they won't have any, cause// //they all thought it was
covered.//
F1155: //So they might not, yeah.// So it's quite crap, and they're not
going to get the money back before Christmas. And, cause basically, you
know [CENSORED: forename], [CENSORED: forename] [CENSORED: surname],
F1154: Aye.
F1155: she's like the kinda, she was the kinda person, I don't think she
worked for them but she was like the rep or something,
F1154: Mm.
F1155: so everyone did it because obviously she //maybe gets commission or
something and//
F1154: //Yeah, cause everyone//
F1155: everyone wanted to support her and she feels really bad about it,
//cause she's, cause everyone else has//
F1154: //Yeah, of course she does, she's lovely.//
F1155: put in money and it's her fault //but//
F1154: //Oh but no but everyone knows that [CENSORED: forename]'s lovely,//
//they're not they're not gonna think that, anything bad o her.//
F1155: //everyone knows it's not her fault at all. Yeah.// But I think my
mum just kind of did it because she thought she'd better support her, so.
//[laugh]//
F1154: //Oh maybe my mum's done it then.// //Cause my mum is is like really
pally with [CENSORED: forename].//
F1155: //Probably. Loads of people. Mm. Loads of people.// So. And she's
als-, she's having bad luck because their their Jeeps are in Border Cars
for five weeks. Two and a half thousand pounds so far, //to fix it.//
F1154: //How?//
F1155: Don't know. Something wrong with it. [sniff] //Something wrong with
a spare part//
F1154: //[?]Not wrong[/?].//
F1155: Or a pa- a part of it or something, it's, and they got it like
ordered in and then it broke. Mm. //[sniff]. So, I feel a bit//
F1154: //Mm. Oh well.//
F1155: sorry for them.
F1154: Oh, [CENSORED: forename] crashed her car, once again! //That's
like.//
F1155: //Are you still speaking to her?//
F1154: I've actually seen her more now than I did before.
F1155: Really?
F1154: But I've not spoken to her today, erm but it's like she's been
staying over and everything, it's been really weird dynamic, like it's been
exactly //the same.//
F1155: //Did she give you// did she give you space after //when I last saw
you, no?//
F1154: //No. [laugh]// No, we've been together almost every day. //Erm,
so.//
F1155: //Apart from the day you went to see [CENSORED: forename].//
F1154: Yeah. //[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh]//
F1154: No, like I have, I've spoken to her but then like the past week,
//we've been together//
F1155: //Mm.//
F1154: like a lot. Like a- but [CENSORED: forename]'s family have all been
here so I've kind of been like "Oh, I- I'll //come to yours.//
F1155: //Have they been staying in the house?//
F1154: Yeah.
F1155: Where?
F1154: We've got futons for couches so. //Have you been to my house yet?//
F1155: //Oh right. Yeah,// once.
F1154: Yeah. I remember.
F1155: Oh I didn't really, cause I I didn't know if Hattie would let them
sleep in her room or something. How many people? Her mum and her sister?
F1154: Mum, grandad, sister, //er but they're leaving today.//
F1155: //Yeah.//
F1154: But then it's like I just went in and got like my tea and er put it
all in a bag. //got a beer, put it the bag and I was like//
F1155: //[laugh]//
F1154: "Bye", erm and went stayed at [CENSORED: forename]'s that night,
//had my tea at [CENSORED: forename]'s and then//
F1155: //Aye.// Di- is [CENSORED: forename] still staying with you?
//[laugh]//
F1154: //No! He only stayed for a weekend. Oh, it was horrible.//
F1155: [laugh] He's a bit forward. //See in the pub that night I was like
"Oh, my God!"//
F1154: //He's got no boundaries.// //He//
F1155: //Please be quiet.//
F1154: no, he fancies [CENSORED: forename], right.
F1155: [laugh] //[CENSORED: forename]'s obviously scared at this fact.//
F1154: //Erm,// //[CENSORED: forename] terrified at this fact.//
F1155: //[laugh]//
F1154: So we ended up sitting, and it was me, [CENSORED: forename] and
[CENSORED: forename] having a drink and [CENSORED: forename] came over
cause he was in with someone, erm was disgustingly drunk so basically was
sitting on [CENSORED: forename]'s knee, //and [CENSORED: forename] was just
sitting there looking absolutely petrified,//
F1155: //Oh my God.//
F1154: like [laugh] erm and then [CENSORED: forename] was sending a text
and he was sitting like looking, //and I was like okay,//
F1155: //At what she was writing?//
F1154: "Excuse me [CENSORED: forename], first time you've met her, personal
//space." Oh no he has actually. That's a lie.//
F1155: //Oh has he never met her before?//
F1154: I was like "Yeah, personal space, we've had this chat."
F1155: Uh-huh.
F1154: Trying to make a joke out, when he went to the toilet I just sat, so
that he would have to sit next to me.
F1155: Mmhm. //He was like the night, he was like that//
F1154: //He's actually really//
F1155: the night when we were at the what's it called, Uisge Beatha, or
whatever you call it. //That place, cause erm//
F1154: //Uisge Beatha. [laugh]// //Oh yeah.//
F1155: //Aye, he's so forward, I was like// Sorry, I've only met you, di-
I- oh no, I met him once before //in the beer bar.//
F1154: //Was he?// Uh. Yeah, no, he is a bit like that.
F1155: [laugh] //Oh!//
F1154: //Er,// it's all good, it's all good. //[laugh]//
F1155: //Oh I kn-, I got into trouble that night, apparently.// Erm from
[CENSORED: forename], cause one of his friends was in there and erm
wondered why I wasn't with [CENSORED: forename] //or something.//
F1154: //Oh no, because you're not like// //gene-//
F1155: //Erm because I was si- I was sitting beside [CENSORED: forename],//
and apparently I I was looking as if he was my boyfriend. I was like
"Sorry!" [laugh] //[laugh]//
F1154: //Has [CENSORED: forename] met [CENSORED: forename]?//
F1155: I was like, "[CENSORED: forename], yeah!" [laugh] //[laugh]//
F1154: //Mm, [tut]// //I'm with the small ginger guy.//
F1155: //So I got in// I got in trouble the next day, he was like he was
like "Who were you with last night?" I was like er "[CENSORED: forename]".
He was like "Where were you?" I was like "At the pub". //He was like
"Oh",//
F1154: //[laugh] [sniff]//
F1155: He was like "One of my friends said you were sitting with a guy", I
was like "No, I wasn't". [laugh] //[laugh]//
F1154: //[laugh]// "I was in with like a couple o //guys//
F1155: //Yeah.//
F1154: that were with their girlfriends and their wives."
F1155: Yeah.
F1154: Mm, no but
F1155: [laugh]
F1154: I've only had one class today, it was quite good.
F1155: So have I, at two o'clock.
F1154: [tut] Twelve o'clock. [laugh]
F1155: I'm o- I'm off every Friday apart from these three weeks, but next
semester //I'm in at ten.//
F1154: //See, I thought I was off// every Friday, then it turns out I've
got a Scot Lit tutorial, twelve o'clock every Friday, //so.//
F1155: //Every single week.//
F1154: Every single week, [laugh] //cause it's a f-//
F1155: //Are you off any other day?//
F1154: No, //I have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays quite, screw you, quite
busy and then//
F1155: //I have. I'm off on a Wednesday. [laugh]//
F1154: Thursday I've got one class and Friday I've got one class. Sometimes
Thursday I have two classes, it depends on English. But I have a whole week
off next week.
F1155: So does [CENSORED: forename], she gets a Reading Week or
//something.//
F1154: //So do I, in all three of my classes.//
F1155: I was like, I don't get //that.//
F1154: //That's why I'm going home, obviously.// //Get my eyebrows waxed.
[laugh]//
F1155: //Oh, I went home and got mine// done at the weekend, and I got a
pedicure as well. //[sucks air through teeth] So that's good.//
F1154: //Er, no, feet, sorry, no.// //Tha-//
F1155: //[laugh] We had we had a girl came round, oh what day was it,
Wednesday night,// to look at the flat, to take the room but //we didn't
really//
F1154: //Oh right, did you no-//
F1155: oh she was nice but she was from erm like way up the north of
Scotland, so basically she would never go home, and she sai- like she said
she wouldn't go home for Christmas or anything, so she'd be like //using//
F1154: //[cough]// //[sniff]//
F1155: //all the bills, all that kind of thing.// And she was nice but she
was like at Paisley, so I don't know why she wants to stay in town to go to
Paisley.
F1154: Yeah, it's not //very//
F1155: //But also erm// she was w- this is what's weird, right, she was
with her boyfriend, who, she'd went out for three and a half years and
they'd actually split up but he was with her and the reason why she needed
a f- a room, was because he- she'd been living with him and now they'd
split up she needed to move out.
F1154: Right.
F1155: And he was, she was like "Yeah!", and she tot- she texted [CENSORED:
forename] yesterday and said she wanted to take the room and we were like
"Oh!" But we've got another girl wanting to come and see it, //called
[CENSORED: forename] as well.//
F1154: //Well,// //oh.//
F1155: //So that'll be good.// But erm I don't know what she'll be like.
//But she's got a//
F1154: //Mm.//
F1155: legitimate reason for having, wanting a room, because she was with
two other girls and they can't find a three-bedroom HMO licence,
F1154: Yeah.
F1155: so, hopefully she'll be normal, but sh- I don't know, she was nice
//and when she came in she was like//
F1154: //Normal!//
F1155: like "Oh my God, your rooms are so tidy!" //And then//
F1154: //[laugh]//
F1155: she was like "I'm not, hee-hee-hee", I was like "No, //that's where
you failed, right then!" [laugh]//
F1154: //[laugh]// //Yeah, really selling yourself.//
F1155: //[CENSORED: forename]'s like, [inaudible] [CENSORED: forename]'s
like, [CENSORED: forename]'s like, "We're not having her".// //So we're not
having her. [laugh]//
F1154: //"Hi, I'd like to rent a room from you. By the way, I'm really
messy."// //"And I've just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm going to
spend all your electricity."//
F1155: //I know, cause that's one thing, yeah.// And when she said it, she
was like "Do- have you got boyfriends?" and we're like "Yeah", she was like
"[sigh]". So that was also going to be an issue for her. //Just cause she'd
split up with her boyfriend.//
F1154: //Why?// //Mm.//
F1155: //But, so we were just like// //the whole thing about, and also,
right, did I tell you?//
F1154: //You sh- [laugh] oh, she'd probably, you should just have went//
"No, we're a couple." //[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh]// Did I tell you, right, see in first year, downstairs
from us, that guy [CENSORED: forename], do you know him, he was on my
course? Anyway, he's got this friend [CENSORED: forename], [CENSORED:
forename], We call him [CENSORED: forename] Strath, cause he goes to
Strathclyde, right? And he's an actual stalker. //He used to come and chap
the door for like half an hour and we used to all hide in the kitchen with
the lights off//
F1154: //[sniff]//
F1155: for [laugh] the whole the whole time. So erm we were talking to her
and she said she works at this place, and I was like, he works at that
place, and I said "Do you know this guy [CENSORED: forename]", and she's
like "Oh yeah yeah," she's like, "we're really friendly," she's like "I'll
invite him round", and I was like "No". //No! [laugh]//
F1154: //[laugh]// //"Er, no." [laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh] So that's another reason that we didn't really, don't
know, but// //She was a nice//
F1154: //Yeah.//
F1155: person, like, see just talking to her, she was really nice, but I
don't know, I just don't think,
F1154: Yeah.
F1155: cause at the end of the day so w- you've got to live with them, day
in //day out.//
F1154: //Yeah, totally.//
F1155: And that's one thing, you don't want someone who's messy. //Cause
it's, see like//
F1154: //[laugh]// //Yeah.//
F1155: //you you and [CENSORED: forename] are probably on a par for clean//
//clean and tidy.//
F1154: //Really?//
F1155: [CENSORED: forename] thinks we've both got OCD and need to go to the
doctor's. //[laugh]//
F1154: //No, he could live with me for a week and then,// //actually no, he
wo- he would probably hate me.//
F1155: //But,// //like er yesterday//
F1154: //[laugh]//
F1155: he was over and I was like, I was like "Don't mess up my sofa",
cause I had my cushions nice and //stuff.//
F1154: //Mm.//
F1155: And he was like "Oh," sort of, "for God's sake", he's like, "You're
not very fun", and I was like "I know, but oh," I was like "just try not to
mess it up". //Honestly, cause he won't tidy it after.//
F1154: //[laugh]// //Yeah.//
F1155: //And last// last week erm he had his lectures cancelled, so I was
at Uni and he stayed in my flat, got back, the bed totally not made, stuff
everywhere. There was like tomato sauce in my bedroom, //cups, glasses,
plates, everything, I was like "I'm going to crack up", left my
straighteners on,//
F1154: //[laugh]// //[laugh] Sorry, this is so funny. [laugh]//
F1155: //And then I was like [laugh] and he got highlights// //done the
other day, professional, well hairdresser ones.//
F1154: //Oh no! Oh no!//
F1155: So //he's getting a wee bit//
F1154: //Oh! That's//
F1155: above himself, but he's happy cause he's getting eight hundred quid
back in tax //next month.//
F1154: //Fantastic.// //So he'll be taking you out somewhere nice. [laugh]
Need a new watch!//
F1155: //So I was like, I was like "[CENSORED: forename], we're going
shopping, okay?" [laugh] "What?" he's like, "I'm not buying you anything,"
I was like "Yeah you are,// //buy me a pair of//
F1154: //[laugh] That's what he thinks.//
F1155: boots, you can buy me them." [laugh]
F1154: [laugh]
F1155: Mm.
F1154: And so were you home last weekend?
F1155: [cough], I went home on, well I went to [CENSORED: forename]'s on
Thursday, met my mum in Edinburgh on Friday, and then went home, came back
up on //Sunday, so.//
F1154: //Yeah, did you get pampered?//
F1155: Yeah. //I suppose.//
F1154: //Yeah? Any CD gossip?//
F1155: Mm. Mm, not as far as I'm aware.
F1154: No?
F1155: No. //Don't think so.//
F1154: //Mm.// Nothing about [CENSORED: forename] [CENSORED: surname]'s
personal trainer then, no? //[laugh]//
F1155: //Oh no no no no.// //I don't think there's any-, no.//
F1154: //[laugh]//
F1155: Not as far as I know.
F1154: That was so funny. I bet I'll go home and my mum'll tell me all this
absolute drivel about stuff I don't even care about.
F1155: Mmhm, small town gossip.
F1154: Yeah.
F1155: Oh, [CENSORED: forename]'s mum, did you hear about that?
F1154: [CENSORED: forename], no.
F1155: She got killed in a car crash.
F1154: Oh my God, really?
F1155: Yeah, that was like, that was ages ago, that was erm God, that's
before I went on holiday. [sniff] [cough] //She//
F1154: //Shit.//
F1155: you know, you know on the [CENSORED: road number], right?
F1154: Uh-huh.
F1155: And I'm trying to, see when you come out of [CENSORED: placename],
and you're going to [CENSORED: placename], //there's like a farm called
[CENSORED: placename] Farm, I don't know if you//
F1154: //Mm.// //On the left-hand side?//
F1155: //maybe recognise it.// Uh-huh, it's kind of set back from the road.
//There's//
F1154: //Uh-huh.//
F1155: trees just beside it, and the car was down a ditch for two days with
her in it and no-one f-, no-one knew where she was. Cause she was going,
see how she works night-shifts at the hospital, she was going there. And
erm she didn't turn up to work, but they just thought, like, //the hospital
didn't bother//
F1154: //[sniff]//
F1155: phoning the house, they just thought, "Oh, she's got her shifts
confused or something". So the next morning, she obviously didn't come home
when she should have from her shift. Not, like they also didn't know she
didn't get to her shift. So she erm, like, er her husband phoned the
hospital and they went "No, no, no, she didn't come to work last night".
And he was like Oh my God, I don't know, she left the house to go to work,
so then everyone was like "What's happened to her?" And that's on the
Monday, and by the Wednesday no-one no-one heard anything from her or seen
her, nothing. Like the police were, like, had it all in the newspaper and
everything and nothing, like, no-one knew where she was. So then erm a-
after, what is it, you can report someone after f- twenty-four, forty-eight
hours, //I'm not sure, so//
F1154: //Forty-eight hours.//
F1155: the police started looking for her when she'd been missing for two
full days, and erm found her down a ditch //in the Corsa, mmhm.//
F1154: //So was it just her car that was//
F1155: Mmhm, but they did a post-mortem and apparently she got killed
outright and she didn't lie in the car, //like suffer or anything but she
erm//
F1154: //Oh right, well that's that's like a small comfort.// //That's
horrible.//
F1155: //some- oh, I thought// someone thought like, she'd maybe tried, she
was maybe doing something with the radio, and didn't notice, and just, you
know, like, see sometimes you just go off the road a wee bit, //maybe she
just went down.//
F1154: //From the verge where [inaudible].//
F1155: Or s- apparently one of the newspapers said she'd fallen asleep at
the wheel. Because see if yo-, if she was trying to avoid something she
would have braked and there'd be like skid marks //on the road, but there
wasn't anything.//
F1154: //Yeah.//
F1155: There wasn't any sign of her. //No. So she just//
F1154: //Braking. Even if she'd// gone off the road she surely would have
braked even //then.//
F1155: //So she// would have pl- think she's ploughed just off the road.
F1154: Have they done like a check on the car? //Cause maybe the brakes
failed, no?//
F1155: //Mm, I don't// I don't know, it was an X reg, V reg Corsa, even. So
I don't know. //But,//
F1154: //That's horrible.// //What's [CENSORED: forename] doing?//
F1155: //so she, like cause also [CENSORED: forename] [CENSORED: forename]
wasn't// going to Uni, he was going travelling for a year, so it wasn't as
bad as what it could have been, cause that would have been like Freshers'
Week. //He would just be starting//
F1154: //Yeah.// //So has he just stayed at home like?//
F1155: //at [inaudible]. Uh-huh, I think so, but [CENSORED: forename]//
[CENSORED: forename] is like, what is she, sixteen, and who i-, [CENSORED:
forename], I don't, I think [CENSORED: forename]'s at Uni here, or
somewhere.
F1154: Mm, that's horrible.
F1155: I know. //But apparently there was like//
F1154: //I didn't know that.// //[sniff]//
F1155: //hundreds of people at the funeral and they had it in [CENSORED:
placename] Church.// //And they had like screens outside cause there was
too many people there.//
F1154: //[exhale]// //My God!//
F1155: //Something like four hundred people or something, so// I was like,
feel sorry for them. //[throat]//
F1154: //Yeah, that's that's pretty horrific.//
F1155: It was like, they maybe even drove past there not knowing, like how
many people would have driven past, like lorries and everything? //No-one
saw.//
F1154: //I know.// //Suppose you wouldn't really be look-//
F1155: //So, but it's like, cause you wouldn't, you'd think she would
have,// the [CENSORED: road number], where could you go down a ditch and
not know? But it's li-, it's so like, you totally see how it w- you
wouldn't be seen.
F1154: Yeah. //God, it's horrible.//
F1155: //So, it's such a shame.// So.
F1154: Urgh. //I bump-//
F1155: //I was like "Mum",// I was like "Mum, be careful," [laugh], "when
you're driving //anywhere."//
F1154: //Yeah.//
F1155: That's a wee shame. But I think ever- I think everyone knows about
it at home, like, I thought you would have known, but //[tut]//
F1154: //I didn't hear about it, and that's weird, cause I was working in
like// //s-//
F1155: //It's all over the Galloway News! [laugh]// //[laugh]//
F1154: //I only look at the pictures! [laugh]// //No.//
F1155: //Yeah.// Cause it was in, it was in, see when it gets printed, it
gets like finished on a Tuesday or something? So they obviously put in the
thing that she was missing on the Tuesday and it got printed on the
Thursday, but by the time the paper had came out, everyone knew that she
was already dead, but it still was like "missing and if anyone knows where
//she is" or that.//
F1154: //Oh shit.//
F1155: So. //But I haven't really, I don't really know what//
F1154: //[sniff]//
F1155: I mean I think my mum's just going to write them a card or
something, but she didn't want to write it when everything else was going
to be kinda //she thought she'd wait until it had died down a bit.//
F1154: //[sucks air through teeth] Yeah.//
F1155: Cause you know, sometimes like if that happens, it's all like phew
and then a few weeks later you're just by yourself and no-one really
bothers //so she thought she would//
F1154: //Yeah, it's ni-, it would be nice.// //That's a good idea.//
F1155: //[cough] wait a wee while.// Cause you know, well someone //that
happened, you're//
F1154: //Yeah, totally.// //Mm. Oh really. [laugh]//
F1155: //It's quarter to four. Mmhm.//
F1154: When are you going shopping?
F1155: Just, aye, over to Braehead, but [CENSORED: forename]'s got a class
till //four or five.//
F1154: //Is it you and [CENSORED: forename] that are going?// //Say hello
to [CENSORED: forename].//
F1155: //[cough]// //Oh does she?//
F1154: //She works in Billabong at the Xscape Centre. Go in the Xscape
Centre, there's loads of good shops.//
F1155: I want to go to New Look to get some shoes, cause they're cheap.
F1154: Oh. //Xscape you can walk from//
F1155: //And you get ten percent discount. Yeah.// I've been in it, I
remember me and [CENSORED: forename] went when it had just got built but
all the shops weren't finished.
F1154: Oh you should have a look then. //[CENSORED: forename]'s is the
second one on the left.//
F1155: //But it looks quite good.// I know, I remember seeing the Billabong
[inaudible].
F1154: Opposite Costa.
F1155: I might just go and have a nosy, not actually in just like [sucks
air through teeth]. //[laugh]//
F1154: //I think she-// have you ever m-?
F1155: I've never met her.
F1154: Short, brown hair.
F1155: I know what she looks like if //[laugh] Like "[CENSORED:
forename]//
F1154: //Well go, go in and have a look cause you can be like//
F1155: that's [CENSORED: forename] [inaudible]" [laugh] But why? //It can
go ski-ing, honestly. [laugh]//
F1154: //[laugh]// I know, but if you do see her, I mean she'll probably,
she might be through the back, but if she's on the shopfloor then just say,
"Oh hi, I'm [CENSORED: forename]'s friend",
F1155: [laugh] //And she'll be like like//
F1154: //[inaudible]// //[cough]//
F1155: //she's like "Who are you?"// //[laugh]//
F1154: //[cough] Excuse me. Yeah.// No I think, I've got to go and meet one
of my friends and then I'm hopefully gonna meet [CENSORED: forename].

whole cafuffle,
F1155: Mm.
F1154: erm we didn't go, so //I didn't tell anyone, I didn't tell
anyone.//
F1155: //So you haven't told, you haven't told,//
F1154: I just said to [CENSORED: forename], "Do you want to go, let's go
and get a hole in my face", and then we went and got myself pierced and
then and then yeah, I just turned up and everyone, a lot of people, like I
was meeting [CENSORED: forename] that night, //and it was//
F1155: //Mmhm.//
F1154: totally it looked like I'd had it for ages and it was totally cool.
//Er, yeah.//
F1155: //Oh was it?//
F1154: And erm she just went like that, "Oh". [laugh] //[laugh]//
F1155: //[laugh]//
F1154: And I was like "Hi, my face is sore." //It wasn't a- it's it's as
sore as getting your, no.//
F1155: //Was it s-, what, do they numb it or something?// //Just shoved
the?//
F1154: //No,// he cleaned it, he made a little mark, he put a clamp on my
lip, right, it's this clamp, it's not tight, it's this clamp thing, they
put it on your lip here, and he holds it, then he's got the whole big
needle thing, and it's got a little bit of plastic with the hole in it, a
little plastic er, to to open the hole and to keep it open while he //gets
the//
F1155: //Oh right.//
F1154: piercing. //And//
F1155: //[squeal]//
F1154: so he whacked that in, but it's the same pain as when you get this
done. //But it stayed in and it wasn't sore.//
F1155: //Was it just the same?//
F1154: It was like, it felt like I'd had my ear pierced but obviously my
lip.
F1155: Mmhm. //Oh!//
F1154: //And then he had to get the ring// and push it through and that
hurt again so it was just like having it done a second time. And then erm
pu- screwed the wee ball on and that was it.
F1155: Oh I don't know how you do that.
F1154: It's not sore. It's like it's achy sore, but
F1155: Aye, it's not throbbing throbbing sore?
F1154: No. //But it's just because there's so much stuff in your lip.//
F1155: //[inhale]// Mm.
F1154: Erm.
F1155: Muscles and all that.
F1154: So it's just keep away from the caffeine and the fizzy juice and the
spicy food, cause it's like I had salad at the Food Factory,
F1155: Mmhm.
F1154: the day I had it, the next, the day after I had it done.
F1155: Oh right.
F1154: And erm they'd put like pepper to season the coleslaw, and I
couldn't eat it, cause I was like "Urgh! //my lip!"//
F1155: //Oh God.//
F1154: But.
F1155: Oh.
F1154: [laugh] //I just totally forgot, I was like//
F1155: //[laugh]// I think it'll it'll look mu- it'll look much better when
the bruising goes away, I'll be able to look at it then. //It's, just looks
painful.//
F1154: //Yeah.//
F1155: [laugh]
F1154: Does it suit me? //[laugh]//
