Google's 8th Birthday

Now that I didn't know was today. Happy Birthday Google.

Anywho, I've been back at Uni for two days now, but I'll cover my thoughts tomorrow since it'll be the end of my "First Week back at University".

In other news, I plan to take you all back to Sunday 24th September 2006, yes last Sunday. My mum wasn't feeling up to cooking so we headed off to Hounslow for some Burger King. While waiting for our order, a fight broke out between a white woman and an indian couple. Okay, before you start, I'm not racist...it's just that there's no other way to phrase it, should I call her "Possible Native Englishwoman"? 'Cause if you think about it, nobody's a native to this country. Even the Queen isn't; her line traces back to the closest German relatives. So please, I'm not committing treason or blasphemy or racism or anything...I'm just stuck on terms. But just in case, I'll refer to the woman as PNEW #1, because there are two of them and the second will join later.

Right, the PNEW #1 is accusing the indian man of hitting her granddaughter, and his indian girlfriend is mouthing off and defending his honour, saying that he did no such thing. The PNEW #1 isn't letting up and is pressing the issue that she saw him with her own eyes hitting her granddaughter. To be honest, PNEW #1 looks to be in her 40's to mid-50's and her granddaughter looks around 7 or 8. At this point, the girl's mother, PNEW #2, walks in and asks what's going on. The indian girl explains in a civil manner what happened and what PNEW #1 is accusing her boyfriend of, and PNEW #2 immediately takes PNEW #1's side, what with her being her mother and all.

Thus ensues a louder verbal fight between the two parties, and the staff isn't doing anything apart from watching and saying "maro, maro", which means "fight, fight!" or can be taken as "smack'em, smack'em!" in Hindi. A white guy, PNEM, comes in and tries to break up the fight by vouching for the indian guy and saying that he knows him and that he'd never do such a thing, but the PNEW's don't wanna hear anything about it and still fight. PNEM then asks the girl if the indian guy had hit her and she says "No,", but the women don't give a crap and get all defensive screaming "Get away from my daughter, blah blah,"

Seeing that nothing's gonna happen, the women start to retreat while still cursing the indian couple, and the indian man curses likewise but in Hindi, saying something along the lines of "Harami, pehnchore, harami!". PNEW #1 one yells out "We're in England! blah blah," and so the indian guy's like "Fine you fat, dirty b****!". By the way, that's not a translation of what he said in Hindi...what he said in Hindi was much worse, and I'm not gonna translate it.

All in all, it was really funny. Judging by the indian couple's accents, they too are native Brits, as in they were born and raised here. So no assuming that the indian couple had freshie accents...that's almost an urban legend around these parts, almost.
