Cos it's an instrument too Funny and clever.
It's two things.
Hey, anymore thoughts on last nights trouser incident?.
OH MY GOD, what was that? Maybe an allergy thing? Had you eating strawberries? I don't think so.
Mmm.
I tell you something, it was not pleasant.
I wouldn't worry about it buddy.
Probably just some kind of infection, you know.
possibly fungal, maybe get yourself a bag of frozen peas.
or a small rock hammer.
I think I'll ask around first.
see if it's catching.
So you've started to pitch the old tent? You're flying the flesh flag.
Building the dirty snowman.
Been there kid, been there.
Soooo.
What does it mean? I don't know? Erm, Daniel, if you're looking for that old guitar you left here, I tucked it away for you.
Genine Where'd you put her? Not somewhere damp I hope.
I don't want my fretboard to get warped.
Oh don't worry Dan we kept Genine in a strictly moisture controlled enviroment for you.
I was thinking I might head out and see Dad later.
Ah, I'm sure he'd love to see you, he can have visitors until 9.
What are you talking about? You didn't put him in a home did you? No, don't call it that.
He loves it up there, he's flirting away with all the bed pan women You could've talked to me about it.
And I do that how? By scrawling a message on a toilet door in Berlin.
Well they must be so much happier since they got rid of that old wall.
I'm here now aren't I.
You can imagine how blessed we all feel about that.
Our back wall came down recently and it was a right pain.
I'll head off there now actually.
Hang on.
We'll both go out and see him later if you like.
At least Boyle is relatively NAZI free.
Talking to myself now.
Have you used any public swimming facilities lately.
They're a breeding ground for fungus'.
Fungi, Fungi.
No, but last week Mum defrosted a chicken while I was taking a bath.
Oooh, Oh yeah, that's your culprit.
Just some kind of growing base salmonella I expect.
Fingers crossed.
Martin! Oh, Hi.
Who you talking to? Er, you! We're talking.
You said "Martin", I said "Hi Ya" and you said "Who are you talking to" and then I started talking and I haven't stopped since.
