[ What has a perm and dresses like a maths teacher in a suit? Ray Carling (circa 1983), of course.

He might look pretty drastically different than he did yesterday, but at least his expression should be familiar. As usual, he's looking very unimpressed by the goings on in the City.]Not enough to 'ave one curse t'be gettin' on with, is it

Human "common sense" is pretty stupid sometimes.

[makesfolktalky]

Don't seem like non-'uman sense is up t'much neither, most the time.

[reroutedbrain]

That's not true! My programming is perfect.

[makesfolktalky]

Oh, aye. Course it is. Jus' wait until y'batteries run flat, or sommat.

[And now he's taking a moment to work out if he can place that voice.]

[This is a thousand times less traumatic than Chris being a woman, but he's still very audibly taken aback. Or he is after a stunned silence, anyway.]

Wow, that's-- great advice.

[In the background, a low male voice:] You're being sarcastic again, Kate...

[makesfolktalky]

S'sound, is what it is. We'd 'ave things 'ell of a lot easier, if folk actually listened to it.

Who's the bloke? 'Ad someone slippin' you one, 'ave you?

voice;

[cuffyoutwice]

No, it's nothing, don't worry about it.

You-- you know you're cursed as well, right?

voice;

[makesfolktalky]

No. Weren't cursed, last I checked.

[soccershrimp]

But it's a lot more fun to be doing the things we're not supposed to be.

[makesfolktalky]

Tell you what, then. You 'ave fun doin' the things you're not meant t'be now, then I'll 'ave fun kickin' your arse when you're done.

'Ow's that sound?

[soccershrimp]

Think you can catch me, old man?

[makesfolktalky]

Scrote like you? Yeah, easy.
