And keep the noise down, please! Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can’t you? All right. Now, those with gifts come forward, please. Incurables, you’ll just have to wait for a few minutes.

If I may begin at the beginning. First, there is the Cherry Fondue. Now this is extremely nasty… but we can’t prosecute you for that.

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given by Svenge–her brother-in-law–an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”.

Good, good. You’re very kind. A lot of people are far less understanding than you are. A lot of people take offense even when I talk to them. Let alone when I specifically tell them about my being disturbing.

Where’s the pleasure in that? When people pop a nice little choccie in their mouths, they don’t expect to have their cheeks pierced!

In any case, it is an inadequate description of the sweetmeat. I shall have to ask you to accompany me to the station.

No, absolutely, absolutely, that’s what I always say. But you’d be amazed at the number of people who really don’t want me - I mean, even doing\* this\* gets people looking at me in the most extraordinary way.

There is an epic quality about the sea which has, throughout history, stirred the hearts and minds of Englishmen of all nations. Sir Francis Drake, Captain Webb, Nelson of Trafalgar and Scott of the Antarctic - all rose to the challenge of the mighty ocean. And today another Englishman may add his name to the golden roll of history: Mr. Ron Obvious of Neaps End. For today, Ron Obvious hopes to be the first man to jump the Channel.

Well, no, no, provided I get a good liftoff and maybe a gust of breeze over the French coast, I shall be jumping into the centre of Calais itself.
