Lunch with a friend at Cranks Restaurant.
Is Mr Mathos old?
I have had anice day. I had my hair done, my feet and nails, a manicure, sauna and massage and bought some new clothes. Tonight I am going out with Mr G. I like Satirdays.
What did you do Mr Spendius
There's no hope. You just have to take the dears as they come.
But it is blurting and blurting is common. I never said anything one way or the other about common. It makes no difference to me.
It has its charms and it has its drawbacks.
Do you prefer common to refined?
I don't understand you Mr Spendius, are you teasing and kidding me?
I am going to the pub.
Do you always put your litter in the bins provided?
That was a brilliant question Einstien! How many years of plodding the halls did you achieve to have such brilliant knowledge placed in your timber cranium?
Miss Lyn (seeing as your starting a daft fad which might just catch on and I don't want to be the last to join) If it be of vital importance to you in knowing my age, simply mail me and I will satisfy your demands with style.
Do you make obscene noises whilst making love?
I don't know. I'm not thinking what sort of noises I'm making under the circumstances you euphemistically mention. I wouldn't be "making love" then. I would be observing myself which is quite the opposite.
Were you brought up to be discreet about the animalistic side of our nature?
No you blithering twanker!
Do you ever do anything without the intent of irritating people?
Yes, I can safely say that that is true.
Do you believe me when I tell you that?
I'll believe just about anything you have to tell me.
Is there any reason why I should not?
No, I am a good upstanding pillar of society, who would never lead you astray.
Do you believe that?
Hello Mr Mathos, I sometimes call you Mr Maths don't I.
Are you happy Mr Mathos, I have been shopping today, do you go shopping in Manchester?
I suppose I shouldn't answer this, should I, since it was directed at one person?
Oh hecky, I forgot. Its alright Miss Mame, you can talk to me.
Mr Mathos goes out in Manchester he told me, it rains a lot in Manchester, did you know that?
I can't answer that because it depends what you mean by a lot. 60 miles north of Manchester there is an area where it rains a very lot by Manchester standards. And in the rainforests of Brazil, where many exotic birds are to be found, along with much else, like snakebites, it rains a very, very, very lot. In fact anyone living in the rainforest would say it only rained a bit in Manchester.
On the other hand anyone who lived in the Sahara desert would probably agree with you unless he then went to live in the rainforest in which case he wouldn't.
Well- he wouldn't would he?
Listen to the falling rain, listen to it pour.
It rains a lot here, too, doesn't it? We don't call it Liquid Sunshine for nothing, do we?
You most certainly don't Mame.
Isn't Liquid Sunshine a good name for a girl band?
Excellent name, Spendius... do you know an all-girl band?
There is Proust's "little band" of seaside girls examples of which I have encountered in my youthful travels.
Have you experienced any at first hand?
