Nuts in May Page #3

---

You know, you always tell me

to chew everything 72 times?

-Hmm.

-Well, I don't think that can be right

because, I mean, for instance,

you're chewing nuts now

and they have to be chewed 72 times

because they're very hard,

but earlier on I was eating mushroom

and I only got as far as 31

and it slipped down my throat

quite naturally,

so it doesn't always have to be

72 times, does it?

Well, the important thing

is to use your discretion.

Hello.

You'll have to tell him, Keith.

What are you going to say to him, Keith?

Excuse me.

Are you listening to your radio?

No, not really.

Would you mind

turning it off then, please?

Here is clue three

for the Mystery Star today,

he was once a member

of a group called Kipp...

He was once a member

of a group called Kipp

and he's the baby of the group,

and he's now writing some rather

good songs in a partnership.

If you know your pop music, you should

know the name of the Mystery Star,

and if you do you can

win yourself something...

He hasn't turned it off, Keith.

He's just ignored you completely.

It's not fair, is it?

(RADIO CONTINUES PLAYING)

Honestly, Keith, if this carries on

it's going to ruin my holiday.

I don't know how you can sit there

and read books, Keith,

will all this row going on.

Well, if you don't tell him, Keith,

I'm going to have to go over myself.

Keith!

Excuse me.

(RADIO STOPS)

What?

Look, I hope you don't mind

my saying this

but we've come down here to get away

from the hurly-burly of town life,

the hustle and the bustle of living

in an urban conurbation.

We've come to be in the peace

of the countryside.

Now, if you don't mind my saying so,

your radio is rather disturbing

that peace

and I think it's only fair to ask you

either to stop playing it

or to move your tent.

Well, if you don't like it

why don't you move your tent?

Because we were here first.

So what?

I paid for the campsite as well as you.

There are other things in life

apart from money.

One should have consideration

for one's fellow creatures.

Exactly. We didn't bring our radio

because we didn't want to cause

noise pollution

and disturb other campers.

Good for you.

-You're not being very fair, you know.

-Oh, do us a favour, missus.

KEITH:
Look, everything was peaceful

until you came along!

(RADIO STARTS PLAYING)

Higher ground over there,

which means the weather readings

will be slightly different.

It's not fair, Keith,

why should we have to move our tent?

You have to be decisive

at times like these.

-We're going to get soaked, Keith.
