in the old stats yeah it's coming over from crayfield but i'm definitely going yeah give the bike

a run take it out in the country and ask you know we were supposed to pick up the car

first thing nev um use your razor because uh i need

a new blade and i can't you know all right very good oh

great yeah i hate shaving more than anything else yeah bad

well grew up yet i think i'd save one why not you know i never thought i had

the right safe face really i had uh i had a moustache one style

yeah it was like a big big zoopy one you know like one of crosby stills nation young life yeah but uh the girl i was with at the

time made me shave it off so it looks like a pillow

i don't like the country do i and i know enough all about fishing so why should i go napping fishing in a

napping country eh good that wouldn't i'll tell you what would do me good though

ah this milk sewer who forgot to get fresh milk each time i go down there always joins

the queue for a window even if it's the longest you know she

even started writing my sister mate i can't stand her if you're going down

dennis you you give your fuller man the benefit of the doubt don't you

okay buddy hey you trust people yo jack

oh you've got to why shouldn't i oh no no i'm not disputing it's an

admirable attitude no no no i just i was just thinking you know

why well consider that calling right now you must admit he does look a bit

desperate i think he's safe for a few days isn't it well no of you it's because i'm growing a beard maybe he is

he's not a student right this b*mber so rightly surmises

nothing else body man no here him out they make his point well there's a point to ask my point is this

if he's not a student right and he was hanging around last night maybe it's him we'll try to steal my

bike maybe at this penny minutes cause maybe

he's going through all our things right prior to pissing off the destinations or no

of course this is a hypothetical speculation not taken into account trust

were asked you didn't want to go did you well what do i want to go a fishing bowl okay but you were asked don't you look

it's the way that that ask that coats what you want about us

huh what you talking about son look the fact that i was asked to go is

not a point is it isn't it no it's not the point at all what is what is the point is that the

one i'm talking only going with them in the first place what they you know i mean remarks about getting away from me and me fit

they didn't go away just to get away from your fears yeah well you stopped all night didn't you yeah but i told you why didn't i

if you'd listened yeah well i don't like it i don't like the germans and they're

doing like me and now that they're there oh son no i look man i can tell man i can tell i was getting at me i was taking a piss

i mean i thought would have a good laugh when i first came here i thought that was a whole pint you know

white as a sheet did a runner what hi he's gone vanished i've searched the whole site there's no sign of him have a

police gone after him no man look see the coppers were here about the break-ins right

yeah but the point is he obviously thought they were after him colin did well i'll see oh you didn't seem too sure of your
