  Andy : What?

  Ernie : Piss in the wind.

  Jim : No, Ernie. That's just the point.

  Ernie : No, but on a nice day, you know, when there's no wind about. They can't - you know - get any direction on it.

  Jim : Aye, I'm sorry, Andy. I take it back. You're just a stupid fucker.

  Andy : That's more like it.

• Simmo : Andy, I don't want a falling out, mate. You're my main source of income.

  Andy : Don't worry, Simmo. I've lost more this week than a bloody trumpet.
