Well, for a _staaart_, at the office where I _wooork_, I can be sitting at my desk _aalllll daaay_ and the others _to-tally ignore me_. At _home_, even though we are in the same room, my wife does not speak to me for _hours_, people _pass_ me by in the street without a _glance_ in my direction, and I can _walk_ into a room without the slightest notice…_EVEN NOW_, you, yourself, do _hardly_ notice me… ---

It’s funny how one can go through life, as I have, disliking bananas and being indifferent to cheese, and then be able to eat, and enjoy, a banana and cheese sandwich like this. ---

Jimmy, at least one ageing football commentator was gladdened last night by the sight of an English footballer breaking free of the limpid tentacles of packed Mediterranean defence. _Buzzard:_ Good evening Brian. ---

Here comes Bomber now, circling round, looking for an opening. He’s wrestled himself many times in the past, this boy, so he knows practically all his own moves by now. And he’s going for the double hand lock. He’s got it. Here’s the head squeeze. And the Albanian head lock. He’s going for the throw. He’s got the throw. And now he’s working on the left leg, this is an old weakness of his. Oh, but he caught himself beautifully there, with the, er, the flying Welshman, and now it’s the half Nelson. And he can twist out of this. And he’s twisted beautifully into the Finnish leg lock. But he didn’t like that! He did not like that one little bit. But the referee’s not interested, he’s waving him on, and Bomber’s angry now. Bomber is really angry with himself now. And there’s a forearm chop and he’s gone for the double overhead nostril. Now this is painful, but he caught himself beautifully, a really lovely move there. Now he’s going for the fall. The shoulders have to be on the mat for three seconds. No, he’s twisting out of that, no problem here. Oh, but he’s caught himself beautifully there, with the double overhead. He’s got the double overhead on, I don’t think he can get out of this. ---

What a strange turn this cycling tour has taken. Mr Gulliver appears to have lost his memory and far from being interested in safer food is now convinced that he is Clodagh Rogers, the young girl singer. ---

This house is surrounded. I’m afraid I must not ask anyone to leave the room. No, I must ask nobody… no, I must ask everybody to… I must not ask anyone to leave the room. No one must be asked by me to leave the room. No, no one must ask the room to leave. I… I… ask the room shall by someone be left. Not. Ask nobody the room somebody leave shall I. Shall I leave the room? Everyone must leave the room… as it is… with them in it. Phew. Understand? ---

Now, here’s the meaning of life. Well, it’s nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. ---
