Aussie Rules

It is not often that it happens but it did last night. I bumped into someone who lives in my building. She was as surprised as me. She has been in the building for a month and had not seen another soul.

The lady was Sheila from Melbourne. We got chatting and she told me she worked for Typhoo to which responded "oooooh". From the look on her face she had heard that one before.
We got on and we popped into the White Bar on Old Hall Street which is in effect my local. She had just got back from the USA where she had been tornado hunting like in the film but apparently without the melodrama (and death). She struck me as a bit of a freespirted person, based on the electric blue highlights in her hair, but she was fun. The only thing is she does not understand the rules which makes me feel a little awkward.
That and the fact that she keeps calling me Mike. I am not sure why, i did correct her several times and believe me that is not close to me real name.
