• My wife’s middle-class, she’s been skiing and everything.
• I’ve worked out what ambiance is. It’s a night out without poor people basically isn’t it.
• When I play Newcastle I do wonder if they think everyone from the south of England is a Cockney.
• Only in the UK would you get a round of applause for saying the word “cunt”.
• [in friends voice] “I spent a year surrounded by people with no hope and no future”. [own voice] I said “well we could’ve come straight into the Wetherspoons really couldn’t we”.
• Stop teenage pregnancy, bring back fingering.
• My wife decided, she said “we are having sex on a Tuesday” she said. Well, I thought that’s great because now I know I can leave myself alone, you know what I mean. Because you can get caught out, she comes in a bit frisky, and you have to look at her and go (shakes head) “that ship has sailed darling”.
• I’m 26 and my girlfriend is 36. Is 10 years age gap a big difference to have sex? Because her 16-year-old sister is fucking hot.
• I went to Prague last year with the wife, she said after 2 days “are you enjoying yourself?”, I said “yeah, I’ve just paid £15 for 2 coffees”.
