Man one: "What you got me for Christmas?"
Man two: "F**k all. It’s like Wollaton ‘all, but wi’ bigger windas."

"I don't know why she left her husband for this new boyfriend. He's minging. You'd have to keep your eyes shut."

Instructor at a Pilates class: "You can use the long or the short strap for this next move, the longer strap will make it slightly easier. It's only a few inches but we know that makes all the difference [winks]."

"Having a heart attack doesn't make him a bad person."

Teenage lad: "Do you wanna know what being shot or stabbed feels like or is it just me?"

"Yeah my mum's getting a new washing machine and crumble dryer."

"I went deep water diving and they told me I was the most buoyant person they'd ever seen."

"He’s had his Henry card taken off him cos he’s buying weed with it!"
