- There's too much of Clive Myrie on our television sets
- Working from home is a sham and must be ended (even though he doesn't work at all any longer)

If you introduce a new angle or try to talk about something else, he just brings it back to one of these in under three minutes. We really need a child in the family to liven things up. Not my fucking responsibility.
This is absolutely the case - a small human very excited makes the day better. I’ve got the best of it - uncle Foe has no responsibility but gets to experience all the excitement.
