She said, ‘Argh! I’m such a nightmare, babe!’
People bore me too much,
bore me to death,
that’s why I drink,
that’s why I do what I do.
When I’ve had a drink I’m having
such a good time.
I think I drink to find people
more interesting,
not so boring.
You know?’
I nodded down the phone.
Then she slurred, ‘Argh! I’m
such a nightmare!’
I looked at the clock:
it was 02:15 and
she certainly was.
cheers people. this is all true. it's about some crazy bird i know. i got more on her but they're a bit too rude.
I love the line: I nodded down the phone. it reminds me of all those people (me included) who, when giving directions over the phone, point to left or right as pointless illustration.

David, I like your penetrating style, so immediate in your 'catch a moment' that speaks volumes about the universal experience. I thought 'nodding' was falling almost sleep, as opposed to agreement. Both ideas work together; so the word is an excellent choice. Clever, ironic title. I can see where 'Cow' wouldn't cut it so well.
Although I can't see how the English find that term 'cow' in any way acceptable, let alone funny! And women use it about each other!
