Shut the door, shut the door.
I can't shut it.
Aaaaargh! Me arm! We stick a celebrity in that toaster, you tell us who it is.
So, Katie, can you put today's celeb in the toaster? Brave soldier.
Jesus! I've been in the wars, here! You've got to laugh, John.
I'm not laughing.
It was so funny! Went right round.
It's gone right round.
Your hand goes like It's proper throbbing.
Come on, Miss Daisy! Get your foot down.
We've got a stock take at half nine.
Do you not think you should go to A & E and get it checked out? I-I've no time for A & E.
I'll be reet.
I'll power through.
What What was that noise, John? It's the petrol thing.
It needs filling up.
It's the petrol thing.
It needs filling up.
Quit it, son! I've been through the mill, here.
Alfie, stop it.
Are you all right? You've gone white.
I'm not surprised.
Have you hurt your arm? Take a wild guess, love.
Take a wild guess, love.
All right, John, don't snap at her.
She's only trying to be nice to you.
It's your own fault for playing the daredevil.
I told you you wouldn't make it.
I would've made it, easy, if it hadn't been for that bloody pavement sticking up.
They're going to get a strong letter off me tonight.
Who is? 'Kin council.
Shithouses.
Shithouses.
Right! Alfie Price, any more filth like that out of your mouth and you're grounded for a month.
You can't ground me! Keep going.
Soon see who can't.
Jesus, my arm! Right, come on, quick, you two.
Say goodbye to Uncle John the cripple.
We're late.
He's made us late now, the idiot.
What have I told you? Come on.
Outrageous, that, son.
If I'd said that to my dad, he'd have put me over his knee.
Cheeky, aren't they? Alfie, you've left your orange on the seat.
Yeah, I'll orange you.
Come on, in, in.
Look at that! Did you see the look he gave me? Are you going to be all right? I'll just be in and out.
Yeah, yeah.
See, this is why this country's gone wrong.
They need a good crack, these kids today.
Kids like that will be wiping my arse when I'm an old man.
Here, I got you this.
What is it? It's a sling.
You're joking.
Peppa Pig? It's all they had.
Aaaaargh! You stupid bi Did they not have a Bob the Builder or a Power Rangers or something? Peppa pissing Pig.
You're making it worse! It's so funny It's not funny.
Keep me going all day, that.
All right, all right! Have you any Nurofen in your bag? No, I don't believe in it.
Anadin? I don't have any chemical toxins in my body.
Yeah, well I didn't hear you moaning yesterday, when you had me Fruit Pastilles.
This is Forever FM.
Both: This is a song.
I used to have this cassette.
Kick, this is off.
Belter.
I had it.
He were another Jim Morrison, this fella.
You know what he did, don't you? Who? This fella.
Hutchence? Put his pants on t'bed and hung himself on t'door.
Yeah, you've told me.
Shocking, though, when he died.
I know! Didn't expect that.
It's like when the people's princess died.
Awful.
Awful.
Where were you when Diana died? I'm not telling you.
Why? I'm not telling you.
Why? Cos I'm not.
Where were you when? I was in a hot tub.
Who were you in a hot tub with? Four boys and our Mandy.
I were at me mam's.
I was, too.
Me mum was away.
Cat's away? I had a party.
Did you? Me mum were in Lytham with me Auntie Joan.
She went, and I come back in at night from working night shift at the supermarket, and she left a Post-it Note "There's a lasagne in the fridge, and Diana's died.
" What a way to tell you! Awful.
Did you try and harmonise, then? This is the station with the timeless hits.
How's your arm? Sore.
This is a nice, happy song.
You think it is, but if you listen to the words, it's actually quite a bitter song about a man who's not happy.
He's being sarcastic.
Is he? Yeah.
He's saying, "Have a nice day.
" One of them.
Aw My friend had this at her wedding.
More fool her.
I knew a couple who had I'm Not In Love as their first slow song.
10cc.
Even I know that's not a good one to have.
Split up six months after.
Talk about cursing.
What would you have? What? What would be your first dance? I don't know I don't know.
It's not going to happen, so I don't need to think about that one.
I'll never get wed.
I'm going to have Runaway by The Corrs.
You can't have Runaway.
It's about running away.
I know, running away together.
No.
You can't have Runaway as a slow dance.
Why not? It's about running off.
Yeah, with the man of your dreams.
Nah.
I've got my whole wedding day planned.
You've got to meet someone first.
Talk about jumping the gun.
It's not in it.
How are things going with, erm Heartsearches.
com? I've not had any winks for a while.
I won't be having any winks with this arm.
Pick a number between one and ten.
Seven.
Take that number and double it.
14.
Then add your age I'm lost.
And take away 15.
Fif Ff 31.
Are you left with the number 76? No.
No.
It doesn't add up, does it? No.
But one thing that does add up Bollocks.
Is the new current account from Suck you in, don't they? It's still beeping, John.
We need petrol.
Just get to a garage, fill her up.
Current account is the one that really adds up.
Call into your local branch today, and let us do the maths.
15 degrees.
Forever FM weather with Lancashire Scrap Metal.
If the wind's blown it down, we'll pick it up.
Call Keith on 08081-570-075.
So here we go, the Forever FM Golden Hour, with hits and headlines from a chosen year.
What year is it? It was the unforgettable year of 9/11, when two planes hit the World Trade Center in New York, whilst Harry Potter started his first year at Hogwarts on the big screen.
But what was the year? Got something for your arm.
Painkillers? A Creme Egg! Argh! Aw, how's your poorly arm now? Still smarting.
There he is.
Ted number two, having a Diet Coke break.
He could lift me up like that any time he likes.
I bet he's not been CRB checked.
I don't know why you just don't speak to him.
What?! As if I'd just Pfft, no! As if Joking.
Mind you, he'll probably have bloody clocked off by the time you've parked up.
Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital and get it checked out? No time.
Just get a few painkillers down me, I'll be right as rain.
Well, don't you go overdosing.
I don't want to get the bus home on my own.
There's no chance.
It's too much money.
I said I'm happy for you.
Well, you've got to, haven't you? It's work.
What can you do? I don't know.
I'll have to sort something.
I'm not phoning her tonight.
She's had a sedation, she'll be off her face.
Yeah, as far I know.
Steve rang earlier.
Anyway, I'm going to have to go.
OK.
I know it's not your fault.
Well, just speak to your boss, sergeant fella, and let us know what's happening.
All right.
Bye.
How's your arm? Agony.
I felt a right arsehole, sat in stocktake with this in a sling.
Give us your keys.
Why? You can't drive with your arm like that, can you? All right.
A bit of sympathy wouldn't go a miss.
Get in.
I see you were chatting to your friend Rachel.
Yep.
What did she want? Nowt.
I was just telling her about my accident, what happened this morning.
Did she offer to kiss it better? No, but she did ask me if I fancied a drink sometime.
What?! She asked me if I fancied going for a drink.
Well, I hope you told her where to go.
What's rattled your cage? Just didn't think you went for that type.
And what type's that? Slutty.
Christ! I don't know what's got into you lately.
I can't do right for doing wrong.
You're always on at me, "John, you need to meet somebody, "you can't spend the rest of your life on your own," and then when I do finally get a sniff, you go berserk.
Well, she's just not right for you, that's all I'm saying.
How do you know what's right for me? Well, I know it's not that slapper.
I thought you were friends? We are! I know what she's like.
She'd go with anything with a pulse.
Thanks.
Well, she's already been out with three different blokes from our place since Christmas.
Who? Steve off freezers, Ian Hardy, who left, and I'm sure he moved to Burnley just to get away from her because he still lives round here and it takes him two hours to get to work every morning.
Ian Hardy left cos he got store manager.
It had nothing to do with Rachel.
And who's the third? You, now! ! Me? Yes! She's only asked me out for a bloody drink.
Good God.
And as for fancying people from work, that's rich.
You've been drooling over Ted two since old Ted's funeral.
Completely different.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is, that's from afar.
She's gone and asked you out for a drink.
Aye, for a drink.
Nothing else.
Yeah, a drink, and the next thing you know, her knickers will be hanging off your lampshade.
Sounds to me like you're jealous.
Of her?! You've got to be kidding.
She's a wrong 'un, John.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
"Our Keiron.
" Leave it.
I'll speak to him later.
Sure? "Our Keiron" again.
Just leave it.
Are you sure? He wants to get hold, he's obviously trying to get hold of you.
John, I said leave it.
I can't answer it when I'm driving, can I? What's got into you? Nothing.
Has something happened at work? Nothing.
No.
Is it Rachel asking me out for a drink? No! Well, summat's up.
Our Keiron's been offered a job, and he's got to move away.
Can he not commute? It's in Cyprus.
Clearly not, then.
He's in the army, though.
You're used to him being away.
I know, but it's different this time.
He's going to be stationed out there permanently.
I see.
What am I going to do? I can't afford to keep paying for the house on my own.
But don't you do that now? Well, not on my own.
He still chucks in for the mortgage.
He won't be able to do that any more.
I'll have to move out, won't I? Where will you go? I don't know.
Probably to our Mandy's.
I can't afford to rent on my own.
Do none of your friends need someone to rent with? They're all married with kids.
It's only me who's still left on their effing own.
This wouldn't have happened if I'd met someone.
Don't be ridiculous.
They're two separate things.
You can't force meeting somebody, and your Keiron would have got that job, whatever the weather.
What about your mum's? Fair enough.
I'll have to ask our Mandy.
She's got her own family, hasn't she? I know, I know.
There's hardly enough room as it is, and Steve's got his bikes in the garden.
I could actually cry.
36, and what have I got to show for my life? I've got nothing.
Don't be silly.
It'll be all right.
You've got You'll only be at Mandy's for a little while, and I can still pick you up in the mornings.
She lives in Bury.
Shit.
Bury? Bloody miles away.
How are you going to get in? I'll have to get the tram.
Right.
Well, you can't pick me up.
It's on the other side of town.
Yeah, I suppose.
I'll be all right.
I've got to get the tram.
I'll be fine.
At least you've got a bit of time to sort things out.
He leaves next week! Bloody hell! Are you joking? What you slowing down for? I'm not.
I've got me foot right down.
It's not me.
Put your foot down.
It's not me, it's just slowing down, John.
What's up with her? John, it's Pull over.
Shit.
Pull over.
I'm pulling over! Here, pull over here.
Park here.
Well, what do you reckon? Not a clue.
Flip the bonnet.
What do you reckon? Bloody catches? Why do they hide 'em? It's snapped off.
It's snapped off! What do you reckon? Will you stop saying that, "What do you reckon?" I know nothing about cars! Looks all right No steam.
It just slowed down? Yeah.
You were with me! Bollocks! What a day! I don't need this.
What are we going to do? We're going to have to ring roadside recovery, aren't we? SHE SIGHS We're going to be stuck here for hours.
Here, you speak to them.
They come quicker for a woman.
Come on.
Well, I do need some new knickers.
Hurry up! Bloody hell, are you trying to cop off? I've just spoke to a lovely man called Jermaine.
Christ.
He's sorting it.
They'll either be an hour or we get 45 quid's worth of M&S vouchers.
I get 'em.
It's my car.
I made the call.
An hour? .
What are we going to do for an hour? Do I have my own chat show? No.
Am I a human being? Yes, course you are.
Am I alive or dead? I honestly don't know.
Yeah, I think you might be.
I think you might be.
Well, that's no good.
Either I'm dead or I'm alive.
Am I a famous boxer? You've had your turn.
I know, but you didn't know if I was alive or dead, so it doesn't count.
When you know who you are, it won't matter if you're alive or dead anyway.
How shite's that? Am I a famous boxer? It's still not your go.
It's my go.
Am I a famous boxer? No.
Am I a famous boxer for the third time? No but you like fighting.
Where's this fella? Are you going to go for a drink with Rachel? What's that? Just play the game.
Right, another question.
Am I a child? Yes, constantly.
I'm a fighter, I like fighting Am I Rocky Balboa? No.
Am I For God's sake.
Play fair.
Do I have a Can I speak? Do I have an Afro? Yes, you do.
My go.
Am I Snoopy? My go! Snoopy doesn't have an Afro! Am I made of Plasticine? Finally, the cavalry's here.
Whoo-hoo.
Frig, I hope that's not Jermaine.
Hi.
All right, love? Do you want to flip your bonnet, Little Orphan Annie? I knew it was her.
I knew it! Am I a famous boxer? Definitely not.
What do you reckon? When did you last fill her up? This morning, why? Well, it's never a good idea to fill a diesel engine up with unleaded.
What have you done now?! I'll go and sort the truck out.
You said it was petrol! Yeah, diesel! You didn't say diesel, you definitely said petrol.
Petrol is diesel! Petrol is petrol, diesel is diesel! It says on the cap in bloody, big, red letters, "Diesel!" Well, I didn't see it! Obviously not! A perfect end to a bloody perfect day.
'You should have seen Betty's trees bending.

Right! Alfie Price, any more filth like that out of your mouth and you're grounded for a month.
You can't ground me! Keep going.
Soon see who can't.
Jesus, my arm! Right, come on, quick, you two.
Say goodbye to Uncle John the cripple.
We're late.
He's made us late now, the idiot.
What have I told you? Come on.
Outrageous, that, son.
If I'd said that to my dad, he'd have put me over his knee.
Cheeky, aren't they? Alfie, you've left your orange on the seat.
Yeah, I'll orange you.
Come on, in, in.
Look at that! Did you see the look he gave me? Are you going to be all right? I'll just be in and out.
Yeah, yeah.
See, this is why this country's gone wrong.
They need a good crack, these kids today.
Kids like that will be wiping my arse when I'm an old man.
Here, I got you this.
What is it? It's a sling.
You're joking.
Peppa Pig? It's all they had.
Aaaaargh! You stupid bi Did they not have a Bob the Builder or a Power Rangers or something? Peppa pissing Pig.
You're making it worse! It's so funny It's not funny.
Keep me going all day, that.
All right, all right! Have you any Nurofen in your bag? No, I don't believe in it.
Anadin? I don't have any chemical toxins in my body.
Yeah, well I didn't hear you moaning yesterday, when you had me Fruit Pastilles.
This is Forever FM.
Both: This is a song.
I used to have this cassette.
Kick, this is off.
Belter.
I had it.
He were another Jim Morrison, this fella.
You know what he did, don't you? Who? This fella.
Hutchence? Put his pants on t'bed and hung himself on t'door.
Yeah, you've told me.
Shocking, though, when he died.
I know! Didn't expect that.
It's like when the people's princess died.
Awful.
Awful.
Where were you when Diana died? I'm not telling you.
Why? I'm not telling you.
Why? Cos I'm not.
Where were you when? I was in a hot tub.
Who were you in a hot tub with? Four boys and our Mandy.
I were at me mam's.
I was, too.
Me mum was away.
Cat's away? I had a party.
Did you? Me mum were in Lytham with me Auntie Joan.
She went, and I come back in at night from working night shift at the supermarket, and she left a Post-it Note "There's a lasagne in the fridge, and Diana's died.
" What a way to tell you! Awful.
Did you try and harmonise, then? This is the station with the timeless hits.
How's your arm? Sore.
This is a nice, happy song.
You think it is, but if you listen to the words, it's actually quite a bitter song about a man who's not happy.
He's being sarcastic.
Is he? Yeah.
He's saying, "Have a nice day.
" One of them.
Aw My friend had this at her wedding.
More fool her.
I knew a couple who had I'm Not In Love as their first slow song.
10cc.
Even I know that's not a good one to have.
Split up six months after.
Talk about cursing.
What would you have? What? What would be your first dance? I don't know I don't know.
It's not going to happen, so I don't need to think about that one.
I'll never get wed.
I'm going to have Runaway by The Corrs.
You can't have Runaway.
It's about running away.
I know, running away together.
No.
You can't have Runaway as a slow dance.
Why not? It's about running off.
Yeah, with the man of your dreams.
Nah.
I've got my whole wedding day planned.
You've got to meet someone first.
Talk about jumping the gun.
It's not in it.
How are things going with, erm Heartsearches.
com? I've not had any winks for a while.
I won't be having any winks with this arm.
Pick a number between one and ten.
Seven.
Take that number and double it.
14.
Then add your age I'm lost.
And take away 15.
Fif Ff 31.
Are you left with the number 76? No.
No.
It doesn't add up, does it? No.
But one thing that does add up Bollocks.
Is the new current account from Suck you in, don't they? It's still beeping, John.
We need petrol.
Just get to a garage, fill her up.
Current account is the one that really adds up.
Call into your local branch today, and let us do the maths.

Forever FM weather with Lancashire Scrap Metal.
If the wind's blown it down, we'll pick it up.
Call Keith on 08081-570-075.
So here we go, the Forever FM Golden Hour, with hits and headlines from a chosen year.
What year is it? It was the unforgettable year of 9/11, when two planes hit the World Trade Center in New York, whilst Harry Potter started his first year at Hogwarts on the big screen.
But what was the year? Got something for your arm.
Painkillers? A Creme Egg! Argh! Aw, how's your poorly arm now? Still smarting.
There he is.
Ted number two, having a Diet Coke break.
He could lift me up like that any time he likes.
I bet he's not been CRB checked.
I don't know why you just don't speak to him.
What?! As if I'd just Pfft, no! As if Joking.
Mind you, he'll probably have bloody clocked off by the time you've parked up.
Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital and get it checked out? No time.
Just get a few painkillers down me, I'll be right as rain.
Well, don't you go overdosing.
I don't want to get the bus home on my own.
There's no chance.
It's too much money.
I said I'm happy for you.
Well, you've got to, haven't you? It's work.
What can you do? I don't know.
I'll have to sort something.
I'm not phoning her tonight.
She's had a sedation, she'll be off her face.
Yeah, as far I know.
Steve rang earlier.
Anyway, I'm going to have to go.
OK.
I know it's not your fault.
Well, just speak to your boss, sergeant fella, and let us know what's happening.
All right.
Bye.
How's your arm? Agony.
I felt a right arsehole, sat in stocktake with this in a sling.
Give us your keys.
Why? You can't drive with your arm like that, can you? All right.
A bit of sympathy wouldn't go a miss.
Get in.
I see you were chatting to your friend Rachel.
Yep.
What did she want? Nowt.
I was just telling her about my accident, what happened this morning.
Did she offer to kiss it better? No, but she did ask me if I fancied a drink sometime.
What?! She asked me if I fancied going for a drink.
Well, I hope you told her where to go.
What's rattled your cage? Just didn't think you went for that type.
And what type's that? Slutty.
Christ! I don't know what's got into you lately.
I can't do right for doing wrong.
You're always on at me, "John, you need to meet somebody, "you can't spend the rest of your life on your own," and then when I do finally get a sniff, you go berserk.
Well, she's just not right for you, that's all I'm saying.
How do you know what's right for me? Well, I know it's not that slapper.
I thought you were friends? We are! I know what she's like.
She'd go with anything with a pulse.
Thanks.
Well, she's already been out with three different blokes from our place since Christmas.
Who? Steve off freezers, Ian Hardy, who left, and I'm sure he moved to Burnley just to get away from her because he still lives round here and it takes him two hours to get to work every morning.
Ian Hardy left cos he got store manager.
It had nothing to do with Rachel.
And who's the third? You, now! ! Me? Yes! She's only asked me out for a bloody drink.
Good God.
And as for fancying people from work, that's rich.
You've been drooling over Ted two since old Ted's funeral.
Completely different.
No, it's not.
Yes, it is, that's from afar.
She's gone and asked you out for a drink.
Aye, for a drink.
Nothing else.
Yeah, a drink, and the next thing you know, her knickers will be hanging off your lampshade.
Sounds to me like you're jealous.
Of her?! You've got to be kidding.
She's a wrong 'un, John.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
"Our Keiron.
" Leave it.
I'll speak to him later.
Sure? "Our Keiron" again.
Just leave it.
Are you sure? He wants to get hold, he's obviously trying to get hold of you.
John, I said leave it.
I can't answer it when I'm driving, can I? What's got into you? Nothing.
Has something happened at work? Nothing.
No.
Is it Rachel asking me out for a drink? No! Well, summat's up.
Our Keiron's been offered a job, and he's got to move away.
Can he not commute? It's in Cyprus.
Clearly not, then.
He's in the army, though.
You're used to him being away.
I know, but it's different this time.
He's going to be stationed out there permanently.
I see.
What am I going to do? I can't afford to keep paying for the house on my own.
But don't you do that now? Well, not on my own.
He still chucks in for the mortgage.
He won't be able to do that any more.
I'll have to move out, won't I? Where will you go? I don't know.
Probably to our Mandy's.
I can't afford to rent on my own.
Do none of your friends need someone to rent with? They're all married with kids.
It's only me who's still left on their effing own.
This wouldn't have happened if I'd met someone.
Don't be ridiculous.
They're two separate things.
You can't force meeting somebody, and your Keiron would have got that job, whatever the weather.
What about your mum's? Fair enough.
I'll have to ask our Mandy.
She's got her own family, hasn't she? I know, I know.
There's hardly enough room as it is, and Steve's got his bikes in the garden.
I could actually cry.
36, and what have I got to show for my life? I've got nothing.
Don't be silly.
It'll be all right.
You've got You'll only be at Mandy's for a little while, and I can still pick you up in the mornings.
She lives in Bury.
Shit.
Bury? Bloody miles away.
How are you going to get in? I'll have to get the tram.
Right.
Well, you can't pick me up.
It's on the other side of town.
Yeah, I suppose.
I'll be all right.
I've got to get the tram.
I'll be fine.
At least you've got a bit of time to sort things out.
He leaves next week! Bloody hell! Are you joking? What you slowing down for? I'm not.
I've got me foot right down.
It's not me.
Put your foot down.
It's not me, it's just slowing down, John.
What's up with her? John, it's Pull over.
Shit.
Pull over.
I'm pulling over! Here, pull over here.
Park here.
Well, what do you reckon? Not a clue.
Flip the bonnet.
What do you reckon? Bloody catches? Why do they hide 'em? It's snapped off.
It's snapped off! What do you reckon? Will you stop saying that, "What do you reckon?" I know nothing about cars! Looks all right No steam.
It just slowed down? Yeah.
You were with me! Bollocks! What a day! I don't need this.
What are we going to do? We're going to have to ring roadside recovery, aren't we? SHE SIGHS We're going to be stuck here for hours.
Here, you speak to them.
They come quicker for a woman.
Come on.
Well, I do need some new knickers.
Hurry up! Bloody hell, are you trying to cop off? I've just spoke to a lovely man called Jermaine.
Christ.
He's sorting it.
They'll either be an hour or we get 45 quid's worth of M&S vouchers.
I get 'em.
It's my car.
I made the call.
An hour? .
What are we going to do for an hour? Do I have my own chat show? No.
Am I a human being? Yes, course you are.
Am I alive or dead? I honestly don't know.
Yeah, I think you might be.
I think you might be.
Well, that's no good.
Either I'm dead or I'm alive.
Am I a famous boxer? You've had your turn.
I know, but you didn't know if I was alive or dead, so it doesn't count.
When you know who you are, it won't matter if you're alive or dead anyway.
How shite's that? Am I a famous boxer? It's still not your go.
It's my go.
Am I a famous boxer? No.
Am I a famous boxer for the third time? No but you like fighting.
Where's this fella? Are you going to go for a drink with Rachel? What's that? Just play the game.
Right, another question.
Am I a child? Yes, constantly.
I'm a fighter, I like fighting Am I Rocky Balboa? No.
Am I For God's sake.
Play fair.
Do I have a Can I speak? Do I have an Afro? Yes, you do.
My go.
Am I Snoopy? My go! Snoopy doesn't have an Afro! Am I made of Plasticine? Finally, the cavalry's here.
Whoo-hoo.
Frig, I hope that's not Jermaine.
Hi.
All right, love? Do you want to flip your bonnet, Little Orphan Annie? I knew it was her.
I knew it! Am I a famous boxer? Definitely not.
What do you reckon? When did you last fill her up? This morning, why? Well, it's never a good idea to fill a diesel engine up with unleaded.
What have you done now?! I'll go and sort the truck out.
You said it was petrol! Yeah, diesel! You didn't say diesel, you definitely said petrol.
Petrol is diesel! Petrol is petrol, diesel is diesel! It says on the cap in bloody, big, red letters, "Diesel!" Well, I didn't see it! Obviously not! A perfect end to a bloody perfect day.
