Ask Paul Barber

[The Large One]

Er, no. Besides, I'm boycotting until the invite to be a guest arrives. It has been alluded to twice now

It's an open invitation. You keep RUNNING AWAY. To Berlin.

It is a clever answer though, do you not agree? Alludes to having read the books but also providing plenty of wriggle-room for not having read them.

It looks like he's done an Eric Morecambe - read all the pages, but not necessarily in the right order.

The point of the question is - have you read up on, and immersed yourself in, our culture and history? It looks like he has. You also have to listen to the rest of the show to get the context, Mr Boycott.

They haven't asked me for ages. I believe they get a better class of guest these days.

I asked you when I last saw you. You said 'never again...'

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Simply untrue. Last time I we saw each other you were warning PC Balkham to keep an eye on me.

This probably explains it.

 

[The Large One]

Simply untrue. Last time I we saw each other you were warning PC Balkham to keep an eye on me.

Oh OK. In that case, unless we get someone better in, do you want to do the show again soon?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Oh OK. In that case, unless we get someone better in, do you want to do the show again soon?

Without wishing to sound needy; yes, yes please, can I, thanks, oh gosh, little old me, my mum would be so proud,when?
