How to greet someone you haven’t seen for ages 

　　(Walking along a street, two people almost bump into each other)

　　A: Hey! Hello there! I haven’t seen you in ages!

　　B: Oh. Yes. Hello.

　　A: Great to see you again! You’re looking really well!

　　B: Oh! Do you think so? Thanks...

　　A: So, how are you?

　　B: Well, y’know, mustn’t grumble.

　　A: Good to hear. What are you up to? Still working in the coffee shop?

　　B: Yeah...still there...

　　A: Are you still trying to be an actor?

　　B: Well, yeah, y’know...

　　A: Hollywood haven’t called yet then?

　　B: Erm, well, no, not yet...

　　A: Are you still living in that little flat?

　　B: Erm, yeah. Still there.

　　A: Well, erm, great.

　　B: What about you? Are you still working in the fast food place?

　　A: No way! I stopped doing that last year. Now I’m working in the city, financial services!

　　B: Oh. Great. Still sharing that house with all those other people?

　　A: No way! Got a big place of my own now – garden, four bedrooms...

　　B: Well. Good for you.

　　A: We should meet up again! Go out for a drink...

　　B: Ok. Sure.

　　A: Let’s do that! I’ll be in touch!

　　B: Look forward to it!

　　A: Bye!

　　B: (through gritted teeth) Bye
