here's a good twist. That bloke at the end with the beard and glasses. We tried to interview him coz we thought he looked like a tramp. Turns out he owns the pub over the road and he's a millionaire.

You can laugh, but I was at Oxford with this guy (Clare College). He was a genius until he started boozing. A lovely guy. We also worked at Woolies on Saturdays to make ends meet and he was the only honest one who didn't steal pick and mix

You talk shite Tarquin- Clare College is Cambridge I think. He's a nice guy, but educated? Nah! More chance of you being educated buddy!

What was he studying fine wines from across the globe.......education in his voice? sounds like the education of the street...Big Issue Big issue his big issue is that he bunked off skool and ended up a wino...see wot i did with skool..thats education well maybe not thats me just being a knob.

No Trevtrash, it's a true story. He did piss behind the bins too, but he was a fantastic scholar. Listen to the education in his voice...

[trevtrash]

Tarquinbeaniebaby You talk like a twat...if he was at oxford I was dancing on the moon at the weekend...the only college he has been to is to have a piss behind the bins on the campus.
