You're outside, you're wearing a T-shirt this summer day, or you've got no shirt on at all. And suddenly you just feel something sort of spiky on your back that just makes you panic. Very itchy. Just somewhere. Oh! Oh! The old Caledonian thistle. That's the old Caledonian thistle. That's what that is. Just on your shirt. It's just something. It's like, oh! And you never actually find out what it is. It could have been something like a shirt, bit of fabric. Anything could have been an insect.

Sometimes when you're eating curries or any sort of more stewy kind of gravy-based dish, you'll suddenly, there's something hard in there. And you know it's not meat. It's definitely from the world of vegetation. And you sort of crunch it. It's like, ah, that's disgusting. What is that? What is that? Who puts that in? It's like, boom. Cardamom, pardor. Or it's just sort of uncomfortable. Or a time snack. Yeah, a broken way too.
