One of those, you know, you sort of walk into a sweet shop or whatever, I don't know what they're called. A sweet shop. There's a chiller, yeah? And you, with drinks in it. And they're just not cold. It's the same temperature as a shelf. It's just a shelf that buzzes. And has lights in it. Because the turnover, so they're just, and also, they're not restocking from the back because they're too lazy. They've just taken some cans of Coke. I know what we're doing, some cans of drinks. We'll just replace the ones that have gone with some warm ones from the stock room. §

Utterly ineffective minibars in your bedroom. I mean, in a hotel room. Or you open the minibar and there's just two bottles of water in there. You think, what happened to booze?

The person who crabs any good ideas that are conjured up in the pub. No, that'll be rubbish. I don't want to do that. The thing is, though, people will just steal it, won't they? People will just take them. There's no point. I think there's already an app for that, isn't there? No, there's already loads of apps that do that.

The moment happens when you get to Exeter, when you're going to Cornwall on a family holiday, which we used to every summer to see my grandparents down in Foy. And you get to Exeter and you're driving there, taunt him and everything. And you think, oh, we must be getting near now. And then. You don't realise. And then suddenly you see a mileage sign. And it's generally just before a large traffic jam, around about Torton. And you realize you're not even halfway there. Not even halfway. Because Britain just goes on. It does. It's like a cruel extension. Do you know what I mean? He keeps going. He just keeps going. You say, are we nearly there yet? And he goes, we're another three and a half hours.
