Currently it's just the old Brexit negotiations. You could say we'll just take the old Belgian raffle. It's a lottery, yeah. Go on, then we'll take the fish. You take the oil licence, then we'll have that on the trade. And you can have cheese. Lovely. And we'll have blue passports. Nice, nice. We'll take the blue passports. And no tariffs on the Euro tunnel. Nice, done.

When you are offered a box of chocolates... And there's only about sort of five left there. And you're thinking, oh, I hope which one's going to contain them. And the key is not still there. The map of the chocolates has gone. No, they're all pretty bad. You don't even know what the things mean in the key. True, yeah, yeah. Like a Souvent of L'Entharac. Yeah. You're thinking, what? What? What? What is that? Will it be an orange cream? Yeah. Yeah. With a praline whatever. Praline. One bite and straighten the bin. Yeah, with a praline liqueur. You're thinking, what? And you're thinking, which one's going to be, which is the one that's going to go, That's like flight spray. Yeah. Sorry, I sounded like Scooby-Doo, though. I didn't mean to.

Any fundraiser, but normally for footy teams where the actual prize is so pathetic, there is no incentive to enter. I love that. It's like those lots you get at charity auctions where flights aren't included to somewhere actually you wouldn't want to go anyway. It's just someone's... It'll cost you more to get the prize. They're quite a nasty-looking villa in Portugal. It's just, like, it's not included. You can only go in March.

When you're in a bar in Bruges that's got 200 beers you've never heard of. Very good. Very good. So you blindly order, hoping you don't get some 15% Trappist rocket fuel.

When you hit scan or seek on the car radio whilst in a foreign country. Yes! The offensive raffle. Yes! Sometimes you might get a little kicking bit of techno just to send you down the autobahn, but sometimes it's just like, my God.
