Hello, this is the English we speak.
With me, Fei Fei and hello, it's me, Rob.
Hey, Rob.
You look a bit fed up.

I had tickets to see Roy's Rolling Biscuits next week, but now the gig has been cancelled.
Cancelled?
Meaning a planned activity will not happen.

You know, the best band ever.
Well, Rob, to be honest, I cancelled them a long time ago.
What?
You had tickets and you cancelled them?

I didn't like the bad language in the band songs, so I stopped supporting them.
I cancelled them.
Oh.
