How you do enjoy your welfare not too bad faith just to mention this to you when I was in my early twenty s. To one of the big multiple shots to older sports jacket Roy and the thing was this was the 1st one that I d had made to measure our part of spruce myself out and what happened was. When individuals are saying I was measured up they say be d ready to collation in-tray weeks time so I went along to a starman I bought the coat put it on the still be in front of the mirror and the manager or d their assistants stood by me so he said of that so they said that s a nice get to know I said Would you mind stepping away isn t it dangerous it just step away. So you said what Suppose I said Stepan Why are our will and I said when you stepped away I pulled the code run. These loans to. You to pull in in the back water you said look good. You never know you can never prove around the house if you down the cling on us is not a living. I m sure. Because of his inexperience you know and I said to you we wanted our city you know it s the wrong side don t you worry about it he said you take it home and just try it and the thing is he said it wasn t for anybody else because it was measured for us it was a rule. For us now so I went for. A price so on the buy score and so on no I mean it s you know so. I got off and man local newsagent. What I d done a 2nd you put a card in the window for me to see for yourself. Jacket I was out on the blood giving your service and well wishes are kind of seemed to shine he said to Paris don t most of us. Just stick in the in the card in the window told in the size it was you know 10 May I called home and have that and I ll have to sell news somebody found out to say I can come and have a look at it you know and sure Ok I ll finale then they came around both when I was Why did you get your money back if they give you for it what you paid for it now and I also did all. About what I. Said to write what you she said showing money down this I also met with you. Know we ve got that far end of that but I was the type used to having my 1st jacket my to measure I mean what do you think went wrong. You think the measurement was wrong or the making of it was right down are down really now I think this thing was whoever took the measurements must ve got the muddled up because on the continuous cycle parish. No on the. House to which way our way and it just while I was pregnant I. Crave it was really really bad experience or anything like it but as I say I was in a spirit. That I made to measure coat the. Job Yeah I mean in theory you have something made to measure a should fit like a glove should not be perfect well in a why 5 because a friend of mine actually went to a tire and they were Jewish by this and they were very good in Wesley this was when I lived in Essex and I ve been to go back there for quite a few years where they my jackets and. So participants Yes or maybe did do you a favor because had you had better service from the 1st one you wouldn t found the 2nd one so yeah maybe it was meant to happen. Nowadays you can get stuff from mouth was our men are not ashamed of that sign I would get a Marks and Spencers and I ve got the flu really saves me nothing wrong with that off the peg Yeah nothing wrong with the look good yeah my father used to get things in there used to like the fact you get trousers and jackets in different sizes and yeah absolutely nothing wrong with that so. It s still not the one that s made to measure sort of visit Well not really. Maybe they were giving you a bit of space to go. Back and. Look at it. Maybe they were allowing for a bit of expansion. Not a place. To go to get. Going to all that Co underneath you there are a. Great story I love that he s brilliant thanks for sharing it with us much appreciate start speaking to people the less you take care but by now. That s all for this day of expected to fit Good grief Let s go to a prince s raised brain speech us Dyess to oh hello Paul how are you tonight been talking so much about this chap because we we were in the business and have made my husband used to make handmade shoes had riding boots my father used to make. There were no new big about having things made to make your but bringing up a better kitchen it we ordered to go with the 2nd half breed of portend we were you allowed to choose number of things and to ding the kitchen while the bill Durango pursued you have told your kid to get started oh well I ve got the cataloguing front of me. This one looks and I. Didn t say what caliber that said I think I ll have that one and I thought it was dark blue only to navy blue I said you can order that we have that So is it a war. So that was going to be ordered he said I m going to order so after learning says Ok and went into town later on a few minutes later and I got in the car went into town I was looking the kitchen department. And I saw you know there would be don t you know to do this color. It was you know. I thought it was navy blue in the catalog but in actual fact it was moved oh no the problem me sometimes with printing the colors on accuracy and it was a bright Oh it was a triple color so our research. Said to the man in the shop couldn t possibly use your phone to ring the builder Yes So we said yes and if they want to speak to the builder and say no major mistake and we don t want that he your turn back to see need it s my why can t you tell me. Since we ve got the catalog Why can t you look at this little Oh how embarrassing you must ve felt such a fall though I stuck. To show myself to Peter Paul but I was glad that I did cancel it because it was said he wouldn t want to debate with kitchen now he was a most teach him you know just respect people who do anything it s an acquired taste let s be honest you know number one case for the most kitchen pretty stark and we re not very much not very much so serious do you know very often so hey you this catalog bee s knees easy interesting because it happens with other things as well doesn t it you often see it with clothes I mean years ago one of my relatives used to a lot of shopping from the model to catalogue the used to have. And often it was policy time or Christmas time she looking through saying Rod let me get something new to wear for the Christmas party or whatever and she was so that s a nice red dress then when it would come he would be more like orange or Brad Allen or something like that in the colors aren t always true. So you could be very careful especially when you re ordering kitchens in fact they absolutely I remember years ago when we were going on a skiing on a day and wanted to get some ski pants and I sort of tried to pair organ but I look at all would be nice and I said to the extent don t look or Ike You don t see my. Sign x. Oh thanks for nothing for confidence that s just what I wanted. Anyways. And never listening to your show not unless you are very subtle there are some of these people be it all including you your one of them now as well Esther with a. Name for I can tell you the best way to be and we love the stories of thanks for sharing them with us that s the important thing here thank you very well Baba my love Baba those estimates are is C.F.C. s. How many times have you seen something in a catalog and then when you actually see the color for real it s very different I know that 9 times out of 10 there is a warning to say that the printing process means the colors aren t going to necessarily be that accurate it s white paint isn t it you get those little college those color cards where they call them and you take one home and you re trying to play up against the wall thinking yep that matches the curtains all that matches the carpet I don t nice on that wall and you know that the paint won t be exactly the same color and it ll be slightly different but sometimes it s it s nothing like it a chap I used to work with years ago had a whole front room done in what should have been like a writer who describe it really like some sort of because of a biscuit color light sort of a light brown coffee type color how to describe really and he saw this you know on the colors chart it looked really nice and because he was doing the whole room in moshing it yet to have quite a lot of this paint it was fairly expensive so he bought all this pain. And there was his wife looking forward to the time when he was going to have the the week off to do it and then when they opened the 1st part and they saw the color by looked at it and it was much much lighter than they thought it was almost like Crane and she said I don t lie that he said let it drop I will no doubt be different when it was more like a peachy Col It was horrendous it really was compared to what they actually wanted it to be so you do have to be careful cause another one you buy and you know you buy a car you go into a showroom and see a car you like and very days when you re going to buy you can see a car a is obviously but you re buying a brand new car and you re just looking in the brochure you ve really got to be careful and make sure you ask to see a sample Otherwise you could end up a little snaps a Lucite or speak from experience. Monster So we re all. It s certainly free minutes past the b.b.c. In the south I m still giggling away here about oh you off stories you always caught a fabulous stories they re always amusing which is the idea of it and I m still because I can visualize things I have a very reactive imagination as you may have gathered over the years and just the thought of us sinking through that hole I can still I just. Let s go to Reading speak to Frank Hi Frank. Yes. I got the giggles at these stories a grey what if you go far as Frank what happened to you mine was No no I don t have school years old. Joined the Army sort of like I left school image you know doing the Army in September and when we got barristers about 30 or 40 of the family and tape and this bloke amendment rights on his arms. Right you. Don t know who your new forms I want you to go to the q.m. Store building the 63 top of the earth where the. New forms will look. For the same nose long. Quick note they were sort of measure and they were asking of a measurement. I had no way to do what size and waist. Size that one had been in need to use it I didn t know what it was the broken one to. Say the same. Thing look at. Right side leg the guy said. It s a waste. Away when I said the same but little did I know my waist is 6 and then. Knowing. What. Your chest is said. 30. 6. Shirt collars. From. 16 I said 16. We went right down the line so. Down those and everything went back to the barracks and the officer came in and said Right. Well why not hire that pair of. Women around in the right. Size 7 and. It s. Right there. On the floor. Inside. My one big. Jacket chest. And then he said. That. One made. The right where I. Say there s a but mine should have been 7 and it. Has stood on the top on the head like a cherry on the top of the cake. Look right. We re going to go home you re not going to be able to walk anywhere or do anything with Lochley all uniform like ridiculous absolutely he said no get back. When I went and I heard somebody say. Why. But then again another 2 turned up and said I ve never known course to know the major So they did it properly and. They did it quickly. And we had a long and. Well you know what that maybe you just. Got to say something you don t know yourself look at old lady he talks about my size you know you can be can be that. Different in actual fact you were lying little knowledge by the sound of things. Was a little bit bigger little bit stuck for you know what I was used to do with cover no going down the beach for a swim Come on go to bed go to my. Own for leisure and free uniforms alone at not where you wouldn t would you just be honest no reason to do. And my mind can see a lot. Of them in their lives you know I would love to see and I can just imagine also look on your face Frank that must ve been a picture as well when you saw all these things are getting them out the wrapper or whatever and thinking could get me in these 3 times over. For all this is nice and. Constructive. You know next to me I said no so you re. Trying to own and I came. Here. So what happened in the end did they give you a good telling often get you measured a waltz I mean all that make up q. And store and make. Matter and inside legs and said you had legs. And chest. And probably measured. Just talking. Yeah. That must happen a lot you know I mean let s be honest that if something must happen law not knowing their sizes unite must have those ended up going back up. The others I m amazed and . Chubby go in there really was too smooth. On not skinny but I was. Too big. I can just see you right now on parade and what they sort of look like. You know looking like everything be oh it s mostly looking a bit like Charlie Chaplin or worse. Don t even go there don t even go there with a fabulous story I love it thanks for sharing it with us Frank much appreciate as always. Say good care speeches. But by now Baba you see you don t know what size you are as ever happened to you go somewhere give you the uniform like cells e.g. a Little bit earlier on saying when she was a nurse and dates nursing in a hospital as a sort of stand in you know and they Scuse me. And they gave this uniform to a it was my was too big but people did say Haven t you lost weight so maybe it wasn t such a bad thing after all but they re going to be nice if they said that for other reasons it s coming up to a half past 12 let s go to Christchurch and speak to Tim Mallett him. Yet find how he is money well you know your good nice to talk to so what happens to fabulous stories. Yeah basically my parents they live in a. Cottage. Struggling with like this no stuff wage. Down slightly the freezer was the bottom. They have those detested that be good idea to get like a big a fridge so we ve used a supplier in France in full so what kitchen appliances be full. Of fine for the business which I d say. That all that they have us go out and so we went out in the van saw this American style fraiche before you even actually went out last in the measured awfully The gap in the cottage where I was going to go never Faygo all the measurements and I think we take this fridge board back time to find it when blooming face. Has a big fridge is that huge they weigh a ton yet would you believe because the cult it is is is old the new was made all square and they saw the wall went in by about an inch and I follow what we need to. Put down the balsam devices off a little bit and it would not clear where one end of the the bottom but by then no we could bend it round round the corner and we we literally got off the vine we called in so you like the hole and we couldn t get him out of the the house it was . A quarter but the plumber out saw 10 because we could get it repulsive. We got a pulse of a student this is got this got where we want to go so yeah so we have to leave it sort of like in the middle of the kitchen it s of the following day when I think you are where else can. We go like this often like out which sort of like there s a cup it s sort of like with kitchen shells an airframe Yes we just saw it in the end completely covered out in the. Kit The fridge was a reason to get a guy. But you know well you know after you know. The thing is you had measured it to pose that s what really annoyed you that was the thing that was really getting to the fact that you you know you measure these things as far as you re concerned this would be a dream and it goes in the space no problems yeah yeah I mean this thing is like I missed it halfway sort of I think it was bound to be so by the same measurement. The boss and I should really still fight for that I mean are the measures measurements for work as well there really is just like take 3 different sort of measurements and. He would say well. We ve learned some story and we ve learned some lessons too I have away from you know you. You should have got in touch with that lady and sorry you had the sink being replaced in her kitchen in the new sink was smaller than the big one who went straight through the whole. Thing could have been some space left over for free. I love a. Tim thanks very much for sharing it with us nice to talk to you tonight are you able to put me through to Mr r. So I can indeed Yes Ok stay away wash your hands you back thank you Jim Now let s I mean Christ Church you say this is the real world I often say we hear about the real world on this program not the fantasy world goes to plan but the real world where you get problems day in day out but on the other hand we do have a good laugh that we are just coming up to 26 minutes to on a few more emails and texts that I want to work to read out and also Mr Russell popping in shortly as well so that he s going to start a couple of stories to tell us who. First of all the Geoffrey. The wings of the. Mummie. A big hero. Loves. Jeffrey I was born on the wings of love 22 minutes to on the b.b.c. In the south mistrust is with us Hello there how you very well indeed if you had sat was the wrong size too big. I didn t fit. Said these things in the past I might not done you know 2 things that really stand. The most recent one was when I was living in the Midlands and. We had significant work done on our house and we were told if we moved out it only takes 3 weeks as opposed to 8 if they tried to work around us and literally because it was subsidence and Dina s all the rules it was probably 2 thirds the house in real terms so we moved out and. 3 weeks my foot it was our turn over 10 by the time anyway long story short we managed to move in the week before Christmas and we had been waiting to get carpets fitted in various rooms the last room to be done was on the Saturday before the Christmas on the chews day so it was a big day and we had a real song and dance routine with the company a well known company and in the end they were so short of people do the carpet fitting they were actually contracting out to self employed people to come in and do it all in their own stuff so these 2 fellows to they got they go to pick up the carpet from the carpets supplier and they come over with it they turn up at the house at lunchtime on the Saturday they walk in and he walks into the lounge this bloke Yes name got his bags out his value walks in he looks around he said it s not going to fit I said which means not going to fit he survived with a carpet down in air he said it you ll be out to spin it around and around and around the city is not going to touch any of the walls as it would I said the company measured it of course it s going to fit he said I said Look bearing in mind what you know where we are in the days to Christmas do you mind just quickly measuring this room quickly measuring the carpet just to make sure and he was right they were a metre short which in old money is what about 3 feet a meter meter sure both with both dimensions as well not one all the other so instead of being like I don t know 4 by 5 it was 3 by 4 or something ridiculous because he was right you could have spun it around. Anyway he was a very really helpful sort of abrupt at the beginning they really helpful they because of their own business said look we ll phone them tell it s no use you can counsel you. Order with them and they helped us we had to go all the way the other side of the city and you know but it was a big place and went to this warehouse where we had to choose from what was left from a sort of an off cuts war you re going and see if you can find something there or company you feel obliged to do you will fit it for you we can and they gave us a on the Sunday they were next day said if you can find something we went through there and it was I mean so it was huge carpet like people have bought but it didn t use you know everything I had was there as well or there you know it was a really random selection the funny thing was we actually went in and set and it s always he saw a young stuff you know nothing about carpets because it s just a Saudi job and I said to him his that I mentions what if you ve got this actually in the sizes run those looking all this stuff and picking on what have you got to go down to the all these things stood up and the 1st one he was. The one he showed was like. Yeah brilliant degree and I don t know he told her we were looking for kind of a beige he saw Ok they re not agreement he said he said pretty as he was so pleased this will fit. What I do want to see in my life and you feel like I want a football pitch or a tennis score you. Said I think it s her kids bedroom. In the end it s not typical that when you go in are you know they re brilliant green it was so loud anyway we did actually find something in there and I agree no and they did fit it the next day and they were brilliant and they were quick and they were efficient but it did terrify me because you thought he was that was in the cell floorboards for the whole of Christmas because you wouldn t do anything done during middle of January and the other one was a sofa in the very early days when there was only one or 2 Ikea s in the country there was one at Wembley still there I think and we went on you know naming a brand but was so rare and so we went all the way up to London got the dimensions all the rest of it came back new home and everything waited weeks for it to be made Laurie comes down with it quite a rare sight in those days on the south coast to see our kids. Larry and lived on a 1st floor flat and the staircases on the outside of the building and they staggered up the stairs they got to the door but it was a very narrow What do people do this you re going to make a door what you have made on the right narrower than normal it would not go in I was taking I was taking the doors off the hinges not working I was going to get back home it would not go in and then just as they were thinking about leaving they said well we could go over the back with the balconies so next minute were boring ladders because it was a proper old house so it wasn t a short balcony pulling up to they said oh we re going to leave it. And we re like you know thought you want to chip in so by this time our parents had turned up as well and they were going to walk away but then we said we thought you re going to get hip and it will just leave they will do ourselves and they were thinking we re going to miss out the money the driver s Rosina are insured for this aspect so we had the ladders and we had ropes with cloths around these things are still wrapped and yet it ran the sofa and they went up the outside and they had one on one each latter so they both had shoulders and either side got what it. Was on that s what we were ropes or you know so if they if they somebody they wouldn t get dropped off yeah eventually it came in could be double doors on this but all the neighbors watching all of it was brilliant because we got in by pity the people who when we sold that house could be some of the furniture with me now if they ever have to cut it up to get it out there s no way it was coming or otherwise but it s not my problem no absolutely probably still there for all I care for them I had a kitchen delivered some years ago and it was very similar story to yours he lived in a flat even though he was on the 1st floor the 1st floor wasn t on the ground if you know the main Yeah water ground there such and so this stuff all arrived and had this great big long piece of working surface and then when they cut it up well that wasn t going in so they said well you ve got sash windows at the front they said we could probably get in there and they did the same exactly the same thing they got they they put the van outside his window and the top of their van was almost in line with his windows. I was going to allege and so there they were with this on top of the van pushing it through the snow was this ended up in his front room and it wouldn t move so there he was for days while you know sat there watching his Tell in the end he was put into cups and things. Where you said yeah we might as well use it on the guys came to install it they said oh they will probably get a cut this 1st so there they are he s from. In there is there was nothing else you could do it was. Very easy but of course Jeremy Carly for Michael in the middle. And then himself was going to the right size and well think it should be we have measured a year you said that before you delivered it dreadful What progress with the wrong color car the wrong car that s made my day that I was fabulous you know you go to order a brand new car you can pick it up it weighs weeks what you want to wait go pick up the car and you walk in and you see the car with your registration number on anything can be right that s not the car that we all know it s not you know it s a special promotion on them and we ve we ve given you another one instead of mad. You know just where it came on I was just talking on the phone quite literally the seconds of I came in to Peggy in Bournemouth and she was telling me that she had a date years ago she had a date with this fellow and she was quite fancied him and she said So although she s got us a bit of Latin in her she decided I m going to put on some fake tan I m going to go for this so she put the stuff on and then you supposed to put it on and let it soak in or something get up the next morning did it. Anyway long story short or she said I look like someone like me and you know like when you paint a fence here. It s ridiculous she went to this particular course she said I felt like you re staring at me because I just felt ridiculous strange you know if you didn t ask her out again really nothing to do with. Just looking at peculiar color don t you see that sometimes they fake tan it s going to be it wrong Yeah yeah and it does tend to do is the worst thing of course if you grant the rain because you can run a. And it s not a good look. At it on your legs. Down the road you know I think. This. Was a little like I want you creosote to run in here to know. That you offer the same problem to your rubber trousers years ago the problem was getting out of them usually if I ve been dancing it all got too hot and sticky Yeah I couldn t get out of them they re all going to say this I ve seen people don t sing in those things leaking. You you do exactly those people on the dollars for what you think is going on over there and guess what. The bottom of the lake for the rank. Of the general going to come 1st yeah but all those trials of those trials we re still writing for them but I m going to they re going we re going to clearing out you know new Yeah I expect them to come in and there s pictures online I don t think I ll fit in anymore because they go up a bit more timber on since when they you know when the Christmas tree goes up there s no way it s going to go anywhere the Christian. Studios changed the point of the tree used to go with those T.V. s on a small island tv s out of mind and then so once the tree goes out then maybe you have a photograph of you you know in your brother trousers next to the tray I want to be you know I m going to be oh yeah oh yeah how did I know I m not going to fit in I m just trying to think you were what size of a you know they were probably well I was a young fit man these days but what about. Oh. Yeah Oh you lucky boy. You know and I want to go to be said no excuses and no telling if you can t find him Ok in the search Scott Brown with the dog you know come on here we re here where we find them but now they do that. Fashion in some ways you know because they obviously they do sweat Yeah it was a moment in time that he was he wasn t going out you could see what many people would rather forget so he was the only thing in these things you know my top 30 degree. We used to go to this club it was all about dancing and we d get there I don t know round about midnight ish which sounds late but out and it used to go on till 6 am we have a right the way through here and I come out and I have to be stood he was in central London but 6 am in central London it s almost nobody about fun myself having to take the damn things off stood outside the car Billick all know I was so glad you moved away and boxer shorts were sown having to put on fresh clothes just to drive home a look in the park the 1st time I did it I drove home in the can measure how uncomfortable Hank Aaron couple of 3 hours you know that s the place you re driving a little bit erratic least I say So what do you Officer if you are in a suspect me state yes. Or 4 years ago you could stack a bit of help on power drill they saw a car there s no car seats well they made of the shiny stuff shiny what would you do something new in the last 6 years or plastic plastic these materials called something was mostly a platter just plastic I think I know what you mean leather I suppose yeah yeah I know it s yes a lot of.

One Else have a snorkel and you know did I tell you once years ago going up going we ll find 5 years ago I remember we hired a minibus to go to a night and it was that one or similar place somewhere to go dancing it was in London this is my mate but mate the author and he was a scaffolder and this will become relevant so he has to meet us and it s probably about 6 boys 6 girls a good mix of people. I go to get it and it s one of those what we call crew buses which means that the seats overall down the outside edge as opposed to a minibus where you sit a bit like you wouldn t a coach in you know well facing forward on the season. So every time we run a roundabout to the left or right everybody would shoot through what you do but wasn t throwing about if you said there s nothing you have to hang on no it s there apart from we re on the motorway we just go in a straight line they were hanging on for dear life to do the dreadful thing oh yeah yeah more else can you just pose you could have a little seat belt now Me Yeah yeah I mean I don t know I ve not seen a crew bus since but I wouldn t recommend them not going out for a night out there s no no no no not a good move no not a good as a friend of mine discovered wants as well if you re going out for a night out in London you re going to get there on the cheap don t wear white trousers. Otherwise you may end up there looking semi White Yeah it gets a bit grubby it s crappy Dusty isn t it I know it s some 100 years ago sure the people you know the people who go on the tube in the summer in flip flops and you know who your feet must be a law Eve is so dirty Oh it makes my skin crawl it s not very nice down there all over as well so hot down there is not particularly in the winter in summer there s something the feet come out you like the mad. But then again you see one of everything on the chub I love you do you know you did you see if any you ever wanted of any type of person doing any type of thing you ll find them on the issue is a living breathing sir absolutely door and when I used to be in the casino nice to get the 1st the very 1st one of the day was the one that I got home which is a great start east to leave Cockfosters about half past 4 or something so when I picked it up rounds of Oxford Circus would have been on a 5 percent either and you get all the people could you get a combination of people who are just going to work on the early shift that we re hearing and then you get the people who are just going home and then knackered and they re yawning as well and it s a real combination is of looking around the the carriers think you know you starting where you just finishing and then yes and then suddenly you re going along in church. And then son you can fit your head again closer and closer and they someone falling asleep and they fall asleep on your shoulder and I think now what do I do do I just give a little gentle nudge you know do I cough you know do I say nothing oh I used to shut my shoulder up and push him off on live in the but it seems to be you know that people just do and 9 times out of 10 I would just say you re right my boy and I do have often you know gone along with someone asleep on my shoulder the last place I lived in London was wasn t served by the tube and where the cheap stopped which was Finn s repat was a bit wild at night and so it fell happens there it was here does and it felt more a better decision to get the night bus. Which is not a sentence you say very often if you ve ever been on the bus before he didn t say the words It felt like a better idea and safer to get on the night bus because the not bus is chaos in the . Room of the night and it was the night bus fabulous it was yeah that s a real a ray of people in there Anything can happen I ve been on buses where the whole of the downstairs with lots of people have been to different events who don t know each other all singing along with Oh yeah I m down to. Get fights sometimes you get people on the drinks and the sharing around amongst people but there s also the other end where all gets a bit chaotic and a bit crazy do get Samina no joke but you do get some good fun on there yeah yeah oh yeah absolutely round the early hours because most of the but not bosses meet there some time you do get all these people you get people drunk people going to work people who are at work or sorts of things I love it or not but I m right for a while mind you but it is so it is good fun and then as you get on the new Making a way out of London you get further and further away and life suddenly sort of you know just sort of easy is often to get very dark and sleepy and I was going to save this for tomorrow but I think I ll mention it now I m thinking about changing my name. Well this and which one surname is a surname you know maybe a crow last week we were talking about names about you know there s a butcher there s a miller there s a crew there I was told and we talked about names you would have instead if you had your patients and you people presenter Absolutely yes I d be Russell producer and we had lost a great cause and this is been stuck in my head Russell Roberts asked me here and. Trousers. Russell rather well I was watching Strictly at the weekend and you know we all know going on there and then trousers that we all know that Darcy is a fine looking woman yeah obviously she s married on the day I think yeah and the chance of exactly who I said the chances of her wanting to marry me and the minimal but I thought she was might want to adopt me either way 0 again what I m trying to do is I m trying to engineer a position where I can change my name and become Russell bustle. You better give this one some stop this is going to be easy. Let me make it obvious he would ve asked us if she s up for this yes I m thinking no and bucks for what you re somewhat of a time in Blackpool last weekend I stood I think you should see what Russell Boston . Sounds like adults frankly are doing the Russell but also in the rest of the Spanish. Possible. I would love to say oh yeah energetic alternative to the runaround it is indeed I wonder what Craig would give you. Know I think you give me a slap to be honest with you have any such cheeky Yeah so anyways been on my mind for a few days yeah I don t think should be out for a while I don t even bother asking or I was going to call or agent but I think you know yeah I know I get the as much need for that I think we could put 2 and 2 together ourselves quite easily in a strict office yes Russell here from the p.v.c. Radio in the south. Down goes the phone no no you don t know about it. Yeah you go Ok cool right char after that one hour he was certainly well you see alone believe me Russell Barsel great great this is brilliant Yeah right. Would you like to change your surname not really but I would for her yeah she really I completely just because it would be a fabulous should know about the chair for you actually I think. You could if she met me she wouldn t even bother to lift one of the puzzles with a score on it too much effort to show why that s what I was she s a kind generous person she normally gives a minimum of 3 a fool but yes she s quite Yeah I think you know why you sometimes see some of the dance floor down to right pelican She s always very nice and she maybe maybe if I dance the Spanish hustle and then so can I be Russell bus or maybe she go for that No no the dream of my isn t cooking they say yeah yeah there s this dream is getting absolutely no way I know but I was especially if you start leaking out your trousers halfway around the Oh and you re out is no how could she so you know I can see that Bruno have a seizure. Are you. Did you fall off his chair Yeah. I mean. Ok So we re showing the Russell bottle which is probably a good idea yes for everyone s sake so let s not now let s not go there it s all fair and I forget about the whole strictly thing it s eating it s not going to be happening now definitely not because a happy. Ending I think not so what s happening for Wednesday then I should be around the supermarket. Or in the Russell boss orange day Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday today yet shopping you know we ve got our what do I do Haven t we yes I missed that last week I mean what do I do here is what do I do last week I did I was now.

Like me it s going to be seen as a coming together it s me it is not coming together. It s getting I know where I think the stars are aligning I can use this new break in Darcy resigned to resign from Strictly. As you just heard that Russell bus was going to come over to the Lindy Hop with. The kids or if she absolutely. Did any of it. Near like he said Yeah Ok fair enough so it s. You know when the South said yes that s quite a few suggestions in this week for the good stuff just for.
