AUGUST BUCKED THE TREND
FOR A DOWNTURN IN FIREPLACE SALES...

- ALL RIGHT, ALAN?
- ALL RIGHT...

LOOK. I WANT TWO SPEAKERS
FOR AN ALBA STEREO SYSTEM.

- HER HAIR?
- NOPE.

NIPPING OFF FOR A FAG?

YOU ARE NOT THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER!
IF YOU WERE, THE COUNTY WOULD GO TO POT!

I KNOW WHEN I'M BEING LIED TO.
I'VE BEEN LIED TO A LOT.

LOVE TO. YEAH.

RIGHT. WELL, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'VE GOT SOME STUFF FOR YOUR BEDROOM.
HAVE YOU DECIDED WHICH ROOM IT'S GOING TO BE?

I USED TO BE IN THE CHOIR AT PRIMARY SCHOOL...

I COULD THROW MYSELF OFF THE TOP OF YOU
IF I GET DEPRESSED AGAIN!
