02:59women they are hard i mean you know you've given up your saturday morning for your boss what i had
03:06in mind it'd only take 10 minutes no it wouldn't i'm very passionate oh morning i thought you were
03:13going to work you're going to be very late i've been and come back gosh how time flies when you're
03:18sleeping and swap places ah but you don't get a bonus while you're in bed you would have done
03:23if you hadn't locked the door a bonus two tickets for a frank sinatra content yeah well you can't
03:32you what you're kidding there we are oscar lovely fresh seed and water and a nice clean sand sheet
03:40to do your little whoopsies on now you'll be a bit more comfortable now
03:50what are you doing i'm making a noise like a budgie george i mean it's the only way to attract
03:55your attention i'd sprout feathers if i could yeah well it's the time of year mildred he gets a bit
04:01lonely and what about me i get lonely too you know george come and talk to me the way you talk to it
04:08all right um um who's a pretty boy then
04:23george well what do you want me to talk about i mean we're married there's not a lot to say
04:29i suppose you don't even remember what tomorrow is do you tomorrow uh sunday oh yes yeah well so far
04:36so good now what else think again come on it only happens once a year oh you don't mean no not that
04:46come on think again i mean it's a very important date um it's not oscar's birthday
04:54well someone gave them to him and he can't use them so he gave them to me
04:57tomorrow night front row of the albert hall that's an occasion that's not a wimping chips
05:03pardon well i mean after something like this any girl would round off the evening proper wouldn't
05:07she no i'm sorry but frank sinatra does absolutely nothing for me we must do i mean you're a fully
05:12paid up member of the female sex it says so on your application form you've got to like him he's a
05:17granddad you'll be a granddad one day listen are you saying that you're not going to use those tickets
05:23look i want to wash my hair tomorrow night and they won't let me in the albert hall with the wash
05:26basin no that is true look i'll tell you what we'll do then you know it seems such a shame to
05:30waste them doesn't it so how would it be if i oh you and i could have one each no no i've got a
05:35better idea i'll have both of them hold it hold it does this mean that both of you would like these
05:39tickets yes yes oh i'd love a cup of tea oh yes there's one left in the pot will you leave my teapot
05:49alone please oh and uh i'd quite like a biscuit too biscuits right get your hand off my ginger nuts
06:01is there anything i can do for you i could make your bed no it's already made well i could mess it
06:06up and make it again relax no i'll give you a ticket each but i might as well string him along for a
06:11while here we are hot and strong with two lumps just your way you like it thank you well you don't
06:19expect me to stir it for myself do you oh of course not how thoughtless of me thoughtless
06:26oh i know it's battle of britain day that's it isn't it oh no no george if you think i'm gonna
06:32remind you every time our wedding anniversary comes around you're very much mistaken oh yeah
06:37well no i'll give up oh yeah it's our wedding anniversary yeah yeah i meant to tie a knot in
06:49something to remind me i'd have given you a hand chrissy would you like some more i know it's your
06:59favorite that's why i cooked it specially no thanks wasn't bad bit too much salt in it though too much
07:05so you don't know what's your talk yes you're absolutely right it's too much and the potatoes
07:12were underdone wouldn't you agree yes they were underdone a bit a lot a lot and that's for the
07:22dump no no sorry sorry nobody knocks my dumplings not even for two francs and arch for concert tickets
07:28i was gonna say they were quite nice oh that's very good actually i quite fancy a quick drink down at
07:35the pub would you like to buy me one don't you start you've got nothing i want oh thank you that
07:39you're likely to give me actually i've got a better idea why don't you buy us both a drink down the pub
07:45the two of you oh yes well that is different yes allow me thank you oh the power the power
07:51two sinatra tickets and they both want them yeah tricky still i got the answer what give them both
08:05to me i'll plug them for 20 quid oh no you'll have to do a lot better than that yeah well i'll tell you
08:10the truth there's a there's this little old lady sells boot laces down by the station out in the rain
08:18and the snow to to eke out a pitiful widow's pension and she says to me she says young master she says
08:26she says um there's just one thing i desire a little face all blue with a cold she says just one thing
08:32that is to see frank sinatra and you give the tickets to her no i'll flog them to her for 20 quid
08:41those are my tickets i've invested a lot of crawling in them you don't have to crawl to me what sort of
08:46a girl do you think i am sweet kind intelligent warm-hearted generous beautiful radiantly beautiful
08:55incredibly radiantly beautiful again this time with more sincerity oh they're exaggerating no they're
09:02not but as soon as they start to i'll stop them here you are do you mind if i join you oh no not at all
09:09sit down fancy game of darts yeah hey uh guess what i've got in this shoe box try shoes no no if they
09:20were shoes he wouldn't bother to ask us i'll give you a clue it's got feathers a duck-billed plimsoll

09:41at home is a um boy yeah yeah thank you yeah and i thought well as i had to buy a present for mildred
09:49you might as well get the benefit wouldn't a box of chocolates be better no no he doesn't like
09:53chocolate no i thought i might try breeding with her you see oh that's a lot better than a box of
09:59chocolates isn't it well there's there's money in breeding buddies you know of course i wouldn't
10:04go in for it in a big way just be a little breeder yeah exactly now the thing is this is meant to be
