" Didn't you hear them in the night?" " No, I was drinking rum." "Oh, it's these kids, they're trying to get back at me." "I happened to say that..." "Oh, it doesn't matter." " That was a rocket!" " Mm." "There's a very clear pattern forming here." " Explosions, dog poo, fireworks." " What happens next?" "No idea, it's one of them random patterns."

"No, no, no, they sue the council." "The council blames me, I say "It wasn't me,"" "they say "why not?" I say..." " I'll make sure it's dry." " No, that's a ten grand claim there." "That wet patch is like a blank cheque." " What was there before?" " Sticky goo." "Like syrup." "Right, you go down the shops, get some syrup and pour it in exactly the same spot." " Just thought I'd help out." " Who do you think you are?" "Sting?" "No, I'm..." "I'm Gandhi." "Yeah, yeah, it is a bit windy." "Mm." "Well, it might clear up..." "I don't know." "Don't you wanna know what I'm wearing?" "Nol No, I just like chatting." "Have you heard that new David Gray CD?" " It's bloody excellent." " It's all right."

"Do you know how I am?" "No." " Really?" " I haven't a clue." "I..." "I think you've got something in your hair." "No, it's naturally shiny." "No, I think it's a ring-pull." "I think you've got it."
