A phone call from Geoff.
'You watching the opening ceremony tonight?'
'What ... the one for the Olympics?'
'No, for the new brand of Lucozade Toblerone. Yes, of course for the Olympics.'
'Is that tonight then?'
'Yes. Paul McCartney, Kenneth Branagh and Mr Bean, with David Beckham on a speedboat.'
'I'm a bit busy tonight.'
'Why, what you doing?'
'Trimming my beard.'
'All night?'
'Haven't you seen how long it's got?'
'No, I don't buy the Guardian. Why don't you trim it tomorrow.'
'Can't. Too busy tomorrow.'
'Doing what?'
'Clipping my nails.'
'All day?'
'Haven't you seen how long they've got?'
'You just don't want to watch it do you Adrian.'
'No I don't.'
'And you're making excuses because you somehow feel anti-social and a killjoy for not wanting to watch it.'
'Yes, that's right.'
'Fair enough. Bye Adrian.'
'Ta-ra Geoff.'
