Sometimes you go to a hotel abroad, and you realise that they have got Russian guests in the place because of what's being sold in terms of men's fashion. And you get like a purple suit, yeah? Like a purple suit with a green shirt. And then at the bottom will be these unfeasibly long shoes that have to be long because they go so thin at the end that you... That's the old Russian flip. Yeah, you're about six inches. You can't... The last six inches of the shoe, you can't get any toe in there. Well, unless you've got one very long big toe. and sort of sneak in. Or middle toe. Yeah. And also, it's a purple shoe made of ostrich. Wow. It costs like eight grand. Yeah. That's a Russian flipper.

When you hear about MPs doing something sort of bent, like with mortgages, yeah? And you think, no, what they did was, because they leased it back to the original loan, and that way they claimed the VH back. And they didn't actually own it. They put it in their wives' name, and they put it there. You go there, and that means effectively they get the tax back from the government once they've got, because of the taper relief on the capital gain, so they end up literally millionaires. When it's one of those things you just don't understand. †

It's the Russian equivalent to a lollipop lady. I don't think they have one. I'm honest.

The acrobatics you try and perform outside the pub when you've had too much vodka. Absolutely right. Any move. No, I can do a car wheel. I can do a car wheel. Women particularly go for this. Because they could. 20 years ago. That's right. And when they were sober.

A friend in a pub that, after a few vodkas, agrees with both sides of his arguing pals. Yeah, but I can see what he's saying. You've got to see what he's saying as well. No, you're right as well, Jim. The funny thing is you're both right. Now, shut up.
