00:00Give me a woo if you had your ticket for tonight bought for you by somebody else.
00:05That's so nice. This is the kind of present that I like.
00:07I love it when somebody buys me a ticket for a thing they think they'll enjoy.
00:10The kind of present I don't like is going to sound really ungrateful.
00:12You know when somebody buys you something that's basically a job?
00:15A chore.
00:17Like when somebody buys you a plant.
00:21Don't buy me a fucking plant.
00:25Flowers are different, aren't they?
00:26In a vase, dead in a week, I've had a lovely time.
00:30A plant is a proper commitment, isn't it?
00:31It's a relationship of sorts.
00:33A friend of mine bought me a plant just before the last tour
00:35as if to say you're about to be on the road for two years
00:38trying to keep this bloody thing alive.
00:40It has instructions, yours have instructions.
00:42On the instructions, he said, must not be kept in direct sunlight.
00:45To this day, I don't really know what that means.
00:47Is it to be kept in indirect sunlight, in the dark?
00:50I don't know. What I do know is that person comes round your house
00:53for an innocent cup of tea,
00:54and the whole time they're in your house, they're looking.
00:56I wonder where she's put a plant.
01:00And I think, I could show you where I've put a plant,
01:02but you're not going to like it.
01:04It's definitely in the dark.
01:07It was in the dark as soon as I lifted my foot off the bin pedal.
01:11But four days before Christmas,
01:18actually, a friend of mine bought me a present.
01:19Now, four days before Christmas,
01:21you might be the sort of person who's all organised.
01:22You've bought everything, you've wrapped everything,
01:24you've already got your sprouts on boiling for Christmas dinner.
01:27I am not that person.
01:29Four days before Christmas, I've done nothing,
01:31and I'm panicking about everything.
01:33But this friend of mine, four days before Christmas,
01:36bought me a gingerbread house I had to make myself.
01:40Fuck off.
01:49So quite as far as it sounds,
01:51you didn't have to make the gingerbread,
01:53you didn't have to build it, though.
01:54It was like a flat pack,
01:55as if Hansel and Gretel came from Sweden.
01:58That's what it was like.
02:00You know what I did?
02:01I just ate it wall by wall.
02:04I just ate it wall by wall.
02:05I just ate it wall by wall.
