HELLO? RECEPTION? SORRY, I MUST HAVE HIT A ZERO.

DON'T FORGET TO RINSE THE BATH.
USE THE SHOWER NOZZLE TO BLAST OFF THE SCUM.

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

TRY SAYING NOTHING.

SO HAVE YOU GOT A JOB?

THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS HOTEL
IS ITS SITUATION.

DAN. SIR DANSWORTH OF MOODYSHIRE!

THAT WAS SWEATING LUNATIC IGGY POP,
PART OF OUR TUESDAY "PUNK PACK",

BUT WHICH IS WHICH? SORRY.

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

I USED TO ENJOY SITTING HERE LIKE THIS.
OR LIKE THIS. SOMETIMES I'D LEAN FORWARD.

WHICH I SPELL S-H-L-T-H-O-L-E. SHITHOLE!

NO. HIS SILENCE, I THINK, SPEAKS VOLUMES.

- THE RETIRED POLICEMAN WHO'S NOT A CON MAN?
- YES.

BUT IN A CRASH IT DOES STOP YOU

WE'RE NOT ON SHORT-WAVE RADIO.

LOOK THICK OR IT'LL HAVE YOUR HANDS OFF
BEFORE BONO CAN WHISTLE IT TO STOP.

I'M NEVER GOING TO USE THEM.
