Will you moderate your language please at this very special time? And it would be nice if we could all perhaps spare a thought for the coming of our Lord.

Oh, not him again. We'll be back on Rag, Tag and flipping Bobtail in a minute! Can I just finish me coffee?

Never mind your bloody coffee. Get in the bloody bloody bloody frigging car!

Now that's enough!

Yeah that is enough, actually, Philippa. The traffic will be crawling along anyway, 5 minutes isn't going to make any difference, we've been working really hard as well, you know. Now I don't mind how many "bloody"s you pack into a car, two in the front, two in the back, and a "frigging" on the roof rack, but some people find it offensive.

Thank you.

I don't like 'fart face'. Even after 9:00.

Do you want to know about the traffic? Do you want to know your chances of getting into town this evening in time for HWD Components' once in a lifetime no expense speared Millennium dinner?

Please?

And you don't want it wrapped up? No softening the blow? No words of comfort? No light-hearted little humorous touches?

No.

Here it is, then: there's a riot in the middle of Manchester! There's three naked lads on the roof of The Midland Hotel! Somebody's ramraided the Disney Shop and they've closed the City Centre! They're letting no more cars into town! All the main roads are gridlocked! The Flyover's been coned off, and (approaches Tony) you, and (approaches Jean) you, and (approaches Dolly) you, and (approaches Bren) you, (approaches Philippa) and you are going nowhere!

Thank you.

Don't mention it!

That's what it is. I wish I'd met you before.

Before I had chemo?

Before I married an alcoholic? I dunno. Twenty years ago? No, not twenty years ago, I had a perm!

Twenty years ago, I think I did!

Did you drive in Anita? How was the traffic?

The traffic?

Yeah, you know, cars on the road, passing each other?

Didn't come that way.

Yeah, of course you didn't.

I'll tell you about the time Keith's Auntie Dot from Cockermouth found two albino gerbils under the spare bed.

Aww. Did they mate?

Well they didn't, what with them being two angora bed socks.

Jean, I have to say it. Excuse me, Dolly, don't listen to this. Keith is an arsehole.

I know, but you con get used to that in a person.

Do you miss your husband Jean/

Mmm.. I miss the company. I'm not cut out for being on my own. If I say something like 'I'm a fool I left those tomatoes on the back seat.' It's nice if there's someone there going 'have you?'
