- Have a nice trip.
- Cheers.
All right, mate, can I have a single for the ferry to Belfast, please.
Oh, you're too late for that one, I'm afraid.
What do you mean? It's only half 11.
No, it's 11:35 and I can't sell you a ticket unless there's a full hour till the departure.
Sorry.
That doesn't make sense, you just served the fella's little kid.
Yes, it did, see when I logged on for his ticket, it was only 11:28.
Yeah, but it's not really my fault, is it? The queue is massive, mate.
I've been stood in the queue for I've been stood in the queue - for the past 20 minutes.
- I understand.
Yes, I understand.
You see, the computer won't print off a ticket after 11:30, I'm sorry.
Have yous got tickets? - No, I haven't.
- No.
So they're the same as me then, aren't? - I'll deal with them.
- It's not our fault.
- I'll deal with these people - The queue was massive, mate.
Well, I'm very, very sorry, there's nothing I can do about that.
I don't make the rules.
There you go.
- All right, well, when's the next one? - 10:30.
- Tonight? - Yeah.
That's 11 hours.
Give or take.
All right, let's start this again, shall we? Let's have another go.
Can I please have a foot passenger ticket for the - 10:30 - tonight, to Belfast? No.
Why not? Because there are no foot passenger tickets left for the 10:30.
Why did you just you just told me that I can have a ticket for that ferry tonight.
If you just listen to me.
- Just listen to me for one second.
- That doesn't make sense.
You can have a ticket, but the only ones left are the deluxe cabin with parking, and that will cost you £126.
126 quid? £126, but it's a deluxe cabin.
But that ferry's standing there now and I can't get on that ferry? I'm very sorry.
I can't sell you a ticket after 11:30.
Yeah, I Why can't I just have one for the 28 quid? I don't get it! I don't know what you're on about.
Because there are none available, no foot passenger tickets are available on the 10:30.
If you want to travel to Belfast tonight you'll have to pay £126 and take a deluxe cabin with parking, obviously, you don't need the parking.
- Okay.
- Okay? Yeah, sweet.
- I've only got 130 quid.
- You can afford it then.
That leaves me with four quid then.
Yeah, certainly does.
The last four quid to my name, I've got to get all the way down to southern Ireland, but Sam's not really bothered - bothered about that, are you, Sam? - £4, there you go, mate, and there's your ticket, - have a lovely trip.
- Thank you, Sam.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the cabin.
Yeah, I will, thank you very much, Sam.
- All the best.
- God bless, Sam, God bless.
- Hope your mother loves you.
- She does.
Yeah, good, because I fucking don't.

How's everything going with yous? Have yous found a place yet? We're We're looking at two apartments, aren't we? So we're just deciding.
But I think the most important thing is the schools.
We found a couple that are really good, haven't we? - Yeah.
- We just need to go.
I think I've kind of picked my one already but, like, it depends how it is, like, all around education.
- Yeah.
- Stuff like that.
It's not really how it looks.
Yeah, he's doing really well at school, aren't you, so we want to make sure that that continues when we get out there.
There's consortium schools and they're decent.
One was a little bit posh, but - There's nothing wrong with posh.
- No, no, I'm just saying.
You know, it would be nice to send him somewhere where he sees kids like himself, but educationally it was really good, wasn't it? So I think he'll probably be going there.
And then at weekends, what have you got planned? Surfing.
Well, I'm going to try! You pinky promised, so you can't turn it down.
- That will be amazing, that, won't it? - Yeah.

- Have a nice trip.
- Cheers.
All right, mate, can I have a single for the ferry to Belfast, please.
Oh, you're too late for that one, I'm afraid.
What do you mean? It's only half 11.
No, it's 11:35 and I can't sell you a ticket unless there's a full hour till the departure.
Sorry.
That doesn't make sense, you just served the fella's little kid.
Yes, it did, see when I logged on for his ticket, it was only 11:28.
Yeah, but it's not really my fault, is it? The queue is massive, mate.
I've been stood in the queue for I've been stood in the queue - for the past 20 minutes.
- I understand.
Yes, I understand.
You see, the computer won't print off a ticket after 11:30, I'm sorry.
Have yous got tickets? - No, I haven't.
- No.
So they're the same as me then, aren't? - I'll deal with them.
- It's not our fault.
- I'll deal with these people - The queue was massive, mate.
Well, I'm very, very sorry, there's nothing I can do about that.
I don't make the rules.
There you go.
- All right, well, when's the next one? - 10:30.
- Tonight? - Yeah.
That's 11 hours.
Give or take.
All right, let's start this again, shall we? Let's have another go.
Can I please have a foot passenger ticket for the - 10:30 - tonight, to Belfast? No.
Why not? Because there are no foot passenger tickets left for the 10:30.
Why did you just you just told me that I can have a ticket for that ferry tonight.
If you just listen to me.
- Just listen to me for one second.
- That doesn't make sense.
You can have a ticket, but the only ones left are the deluxe cabin with parking, and that will cost you £126.
126 quid? £126, but it's a deluxe cabin.
But that ferry's standing there now and I can't get on that ferry? I'm very sorry.
I can't sell you a ticket after 11:30.
Yeah, I Why can't I just have one for the 28 quid? I don't get it! I don't know what you're on about.
Because there are none available, no foot passenger tickets are available on the 10:30.
If you want to travel to Belfast tonight you'll have to pay £126 and take a deluxe cabin with parking, obviously, you don't need the parking.
- Okay.
- Okay? Yeah, sweet.
- I've only got 130 quid.
- You can afford it then.
That leaves me with four quid then.
Yeah, certainly does.
The last four quid to my name, I've got to get all the way down to southern Ireland, but Sam's not really bothered - bothered about that, are you, Sam? - £4, there you go, mate, and there's your ticket, - have a lovely trip.
- Thank you, Sam.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the cabin.
Yeah, I will, thank you very much, Sam.
- All the best.
- God bless, Sam, God bless.
- Hope your mother loves you.
- She does.
Yeah, good, because I fucking don't.
