the boys are standing next to the bar, staring in complete concentration at the TV station
nothing else matters, nothing at all, there is a football match and that's all the counts
they shout, scream, comment, pat each other's back, share beers, it's fun
the girls are sitting around a table at the end of the bar, far from the TV at high volume
football doesn't really matter, it's not even a team I like, what's the point?!
they are chatting, sharing useful tips like women do, share beers, it's fun
mid match, the boys come back, the girls keep on chatting
what are you talking about?, dresses and shoes for our friend's wedding
oh! how boring, let's talk about something else, excuse me?
their presence requires acknowledgement, they cannot be bothered
but it gets me thinking: what an expectation?! what a sense of entitlement?!
it never ceases to surprise me.....
