US: Where are you from?

US: cRoiKeY mAyTE, aHm fRoM LAhNdOn tAHn, aPpLeS uN pAIrS gUV, tHrOw a sHrImP oN tHe bArBiE!
Me: stares blankly That was Australian at the end though…
US: stares blankly waiting for approval
Me: Wow cool, you nailed it, that was great.
US: *wanders off swagging like they’re Bobby fuckin Davro.
