What He Is Capable of Doing
FOUND by Katie Pitt
in United Kingdom
This note was found in a lecture theatre in my college. It's somewhat sinister - especially due to the immensely teen girlish writing.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
What i love about this is the sheer Britishness of it all. the x's make me smile, in reminiscing
thats such a racist comment. it isnt at all britsh sterotypically, it could be american, what are you on about
Although it was found in the UK.... could that little piece of paper traveled that much distance?
How on earth is this British?! and I dont really understand the 3rd line. I think it says me @ gym K gud. Is this right?
i think it says "me & [prolly a name?] R gud" ... maybe they had a fight but made up?
That handwriting is so British it hurts. I guess the similarity in style of all UK handwritten missives can't be seen by Britishers themselves, only outsiders
British?? What about the Spanish inverted exclamation mark in front of "no"??
The handwriting isn't particularly British, just European. I would say probably a young Spanish girl doing her semester abroad wrote this. That would explain the garbled attempt at text-speak under the ¡no! and some of the misspellings.
. . . or didn't capitalize "i"
. . . or didn't capitalize "i"
yikes that looks dumb. apologies.
ino!= I KNOW.
I think it says Dylan...or Duane with extra letters....
The black-penned writing looks exactly like my jr. high best friend's. (And we were in California, not the UK or even Europe.)
I find "xx" and "xxx" to be extremely annoying and affected.
...I wonder what, exactly, he's capable of?
The name is almost certainly Glynn, a name which though not common is definitely found this side of the Atlantic.
Whatever Glynn is capable, the one of the interlocutors evidently think that 'Em' (Emma) should be consulted, so I'd guess he's picked himself up a bad reputation.
So the whole reads: 'Long time no see' / 'I know. Me and Glynn are good.' / 'Hmmm. You be careful, you know what he's capable of now don't you? What does Em[ma] say about it?'
@Orinoco: It's obviously 'I know'.
Just want to point out (all this time later, because it bugs me) that first poster Jen's comment is not, and could not, be racist (as alleged by Holly), because British is not a race. It is a nationality.
