I've been very chocolate heavy.
Chocolate spread, our friend.
I was going to wait for the next bus but it was that busy because what it's coming up to half four and you're like this must be rush hour in London and I looked and I could walk to the tube a half an hour walk so I thought I'll you know what I'll take this an opportunity to walk through a bit of London I've never walked through before so I went for a little walk down the road
You know, dad was like, dad heard about an art exhibition.
So him and his pals hitchhiked from Edinburgh to London, but they were drunk.
So they only started at like 11 at night.

Wow.

Wouldn't you have to go back and dig it in the night?
If it was my name, I would be like, I have to see if I'm in there.
I always said if there's another Marilyn Robertson, I would kill them because there can only be one because there is no other Marilyn Robertson.
And it would have to be a choice.
