Roger is a great collector of things said and has curated a collection of snippets of conversation - performed by Roger and Simone on January 21st and The Fenscapers first public reading on January 21st, 2022.
We've
had a nice time
And
we didn't talk about it all day
But
one’s on guard the whole time.
As
I was yesterday!
When
they first made a fuss about it, you used to do it, I know you did!
I'm
legally retired now.
They
say that soon retirement will last for infinity.
When
are you going on holiday?
Thursday
– we’re going the day before, as the first fright(sic) is early Friday.
She’s
gone home for Ramadan
So
she doesn’t have to starve for so long each day.
I
can have as much fun at home as going there by train.
You
know my husband Mike, don’t you?
He’s
got big hands too!’
I
didn’t say anything, but……..!!
You
remember what happened.
He
drowned in Dublin Bay!
But
can you drown in Dublin Bay?
Well,
if you can drown in a bath, I'm sure you can!
I'm
just pleased it's all sorted now, and I know how he really died!
Is
she coming? Is she coming?
Yes,
but she didn't say why.
Neither
was much cop,
So,
she took to the bottle.
Only
that last year, though.
Only
that last year!?
Oh,
I'm not sure that's right!
We’ve
got. We’ve got. We’ve got some things
But
nothing with nozzles!
That’s
still 3.8……I think
So,
what are you saying?”
Mc
Cain’s roasts – they’re so unbelievably beautiful!
I'm
going to have six hash-browns when I get to college.
Why?
Why
not - they're only 50p for one!
Now!
Give me some money!
Would
you like all of that?
Yes
please!
I
saw that lonely little package sitting in the tray.
I
was surprised! But that’s what he came
back with!!
No-one
gives you a bloody thing these days
You
have to work for everything, in'it!?
And
my cat really wanted to have kittens'!
Have
you been up the turkey sheds?
Yes
– and I saw George up there
How
are you? Ready for Christmas?
Yes!
All done and dusted!
