'I'm on Skype.' Oh, Skype Sports?

Oh, yeah? Still on your holidays?

'No, I'm volunteering...in Namibia.

'Do you remember? I'm helping build a school for orphans.'

'The council?' The council? No good bastards!

How's Umbongo?

Me programme's on now. Ta-ta.

Well, the tap's not been working for ages.

And it's not the first time something's broken.

Mind you, I suppose it's the same everywhere, innit?

You remember Cheryl? You know, round the corner, the one with the head.

Great big square head she had, didn't she? Head like a toaster!

Her husband left her. Yeah. I mean, I can't blame him really.

Must have laid in bed at night staring at her thinking,

"I wonder how many Pop Tarts I could get in that head?"

But, you know, when you think about...

Christ! When's that start?

Want a cup of tea, love? No, thanks.

Have a cup of tea, eh, love? Oh, no, really, I'm fine, thank you.

What, do you want a coffee? I don't drink coffee.

No? Well, have a cup of tea, then, eh?

No? I do.

I do like a cup of tea. Oh, I do like a cup of tea, me!

"Yeah, love a cup of tea me."

Lovely, lovely tea...in a cup.

Love a cup of tea!

"Would you like a cup of tea?" I'm sat here gasping in me own house!

That'll be that new family. They've been moving in all week.

Crash, bang, wallop! That's all you ever hear, morning, noon and night.

Oh, bang, bang, bang!

I mean, how much stuff do you need?

Oh, they frighten the life out of me.

And the looks they give you on the stairs.

You'd think I'd wiped me arse with one of their cats.

KNOCK AT DOOR Oh, there are, love. Go on, you get that, will ya? Oh, I don't dare.

Hello? Hello. Hello, Mrs Taylor.

Hello, sweetheart!

You all moved in? Oh, yes, thank you.

Has there been any noise?

I ain't heard any.

This is Alice.

She's here to cheer me up.

Due to start any time soon.

Well, just in case, I brought you some lentil dahl and sag aloo.

Oh, what's that?

That...curry, is it?

It's lentil dahl and sag aloo.

Len-dah and sa-loo.

Oh, that's lovely, innit? I shall have a slice of that later.

See you soon. Ta-ta, sweetheart! Ta-ta.

NAN GAGS:

Did you see that?!

Did you see that?! I'm lucky I've escaped with me life!

And did you hear her? Did you hear her?

"See you soon?" That's a veiled threat if ever I've heard one.

And look at this poison she's give me!

What shall I do with it? Well, don't open it, for gawd's sake!

Never get the smell out the curtains!

Erm...how's my tea coming along?

But the tap's broken. Oh, just be gentle with it, love,

don't go nausing it up with them great big shovel hands of yours.

TAP SPLUTTERS:

NAN CACKLES:

Oh, well, that has cheered me up, I'll give you that, love.
