Get away from the window, Bernie. I'm just looking. Oh feck, he caught me. He's staring over Jimmy. Well, stop waving at him for Gods sake. What else should I do? Stop looking. It's my window.

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree.
What are you doing,Jimmy? What does it look like I'm doing? I'm putting the lights on the tree. They don't go on that way. What way? Round and round. And what other way would they go? Up and down.

Put the kettle on, Bernie, I'm wrecked. The shops are mayhem out there. Why are people buying so much? Where are they putting it all? They're like lunatics. You'd swear there was a food shortage.
