ah lunchtime gigs they the worst I think 46:55
near warmed up to be honest that's what 46:58
it went over he's not a professional 47:01
comedian so he was funny though but uh 47:02
often an AM to will stitch up 47:06
professional Le what I should have told 47:09
you right roal family Yeah Christmas day 47:10
had lunch sitting down Camila goes let's 47:14
play a game right let's play 20 47:15
questions I think at something and 47:17
you've got to guess what I'm thinking of 47:18
and what she's thinking of is a black 47:20
man's [ __ ] right so Charles goes uh is 47:21
it bigger than a bread bin she goes yes 47:24
Philip goes could I put it in my mouth 47:27
she goes yes so the queen goes is it a 47:29
black 47:31
a sorry were you doing a joke no that 47:34
was it what did the queen 47:37
say 47:40
didn't come on what was the joke it's 47:43
about the royal family playing 20 47:46
questons oh yeah yeah it's not the black 47:47
man's [ __ ] one is it you might be but I 47:50
don't bad it it's all right it's funny 47:53
H Miss well 47:57
done have you all met the uh this little 48:01
lady this 48:04
lady well it's a shame this had happen 48:10
on Neil's first day but well I've just 48:12
had a complaint from one of the new 48:14
intake what complaint I can't believe 48:16
that you think the way to welcome people 48:18
is by telling racist jokes wrong no way 48:20
but he'd heard it before right he 48:24
thought it was funny so I don't know why 48:26
he's complaining now he it was a woman 48:28
thought I assumed it was the the new guy 48:31
whoever it was is wrong cuz it isn't 48:35
racist what is it so what the joke the 48:37
gist of it won't be funny now would it I 48:39
don't care what's the 48:42
content royal family sitting at home 48:43
Christmas Day and uh Camila goes oh 48:46
let's play a game I think of Summer and 48:48
you have to guess what I'm thinking of 48:50
and what she's actually thinking of is a 48:51
black man's [ __ ] 48:53
so uh Charles goes um is it bigger than 48:57
the bread bin Camila goes yep so Philip 48:59
goes can I put it in my mouth cam goes 49:02
yep so the queen goes oh is it a black 49:05
man's 49:07
[ __ ] and he's heard it before so that's 49:08
the sort of there 49:11
yeah I can see why someone would find 49:15
that offensive it's not racist though is 49:17
it I don't say anything bad about black 49:19
people it's about a black man's [ __ ] why 49:21
is that racist it just happens to be a 49:23
black man's [ __ ] it could no you're 49:24
using the ethnic stereotype that all 49:26
black men have large penises because you 49:28
think that makes it funnier it's not an 49:30
insult though is it it's a compliment if 49:32
anything so so what you're saying is 49:33
that black people ought to be flattered 49:35
that their only achievement in this 49:36
world is having oversized genitalia I'm 49:37
saying they shouldn't be ashamed of them 49:39
it's a Miss I don't know Jennifer I 49:41
could show you a magazine where 49:43
literally could you well I haven't got 49:46
it with me but when you're next 49:49
in I could change it I could just say 49:52
big not mention the color well you could 49:56
or you could save those jokes for your 49:58
free time and not tell them in the 50:00
workplace it was his joke he told me it 50:02
yeah whatever David let's leave it there 50:05
you've heard my opinion on the matter 50:07
now should we go back outside 50:08
yeah she's uh right to be careful cuz uh 50:12
some of them can be a little bit 50:16
sensitive you know so sorry who who can 50:17

working lunch with anyone living or dead 02:12
who would it 02:15
be Martin Luther King and the Dalai 02:18

just to because they get a bit heavy 02:26
couldn't they two of them and need lien 02:27

they oh but you know we can we can think 03:08
of some we could yeah absolutely we 03:12
could think new ones yeah okay let's 03:13
think of some good ones for who for what 03:15
about Gareth Poss it's about time he had 03:17
some tricks played with him I think what 03:20
would your motto be 03:22
well I've noticed that some bosses are 03:26
intimidated by training their staff up 03:28
too well they don't I don't mind it I 03:31
actually like my staff to be better than 03:33
me that way you know it keeps me on my 03:35
toes so my motto would be be careful cuz 03:38
there's always someone ready to step 03:42
into your shoes and do your job better 03:45
than 03:49
you do it 03:50
he I'm gluing the 03:57
phone in the name of fun he will hate 04:01

said well you should be if I was you I'd 05:15
take up Formula 1 and if you drive like 05:17

country so I'm not interested on making 05:20
shitloads out of computers 05:22
you had to go Speedway have you yep 05:25
right well I was doing it once and um I 05:29
was bombing it round and some idiot had 05:32
left like a a ramp thing out L bugs I 05:34
could see the people were going oh my 05:36
God if that guy hits that ramp going at 05:38
that speed he's definitely dead I hit 05:40
the ramp I took off in the air I turned 05:43
over in the air they were going well 05:45
he's definitely dead now I landed on my 05:46
wheels pulled over and said what we 05:48
worried 05:50
about uh about five five and so who was 05:53
this check with again what's this in the 05:57
mother's meeting so Dawn tells me 05:59
shutting down reception at 06:00
5: wow just half hour early today you 06:02
think it can run C 06:05
that yeah phones are go they can answer 06:07
their own they do their own post tonight 06:09
just that's good so we can probably lose 06:10
her all together then can we what do you 06:12
mean well if you don't need a 06:14
receptionist we may as well let her go 06:15
you know either she's needed or she's 06:17
not we do need a receptionist my point 06:18
is David you haven't put a system in 06:20
place you know for your own needs you've 06:21
told Dawn to shut down reception at 5: 06:22
you haven't told these people they pick 06:24
up the phone if it rings I mean does 06:25
Dawn know that they can do their own 06:27
post Dawn they can do their own post 06:28
tonight yeah there no yeah know he's 06:29
telling her now say there's no system in 06:31
place you're not thinking things through 06:34
I'm tired of this fuzzy thinking David 06:36
all right chill out don't have a cow 06:37
mate don't talk to me like you've 06:39
forgotten who's in charge let me remind 06:40
you I'm your boss okay yeah just try and 06:42
think things 06:45
through that was your fault again took 06:51
the r for you didn't I you 06:54
once right when Bruce Lee was filming 07:01
one of the extras just came over and 07:04
just started a fight oh yeah I know this 07:05
and it was amazing at coming through but 07:07
Bruce Lee just did a roundhouse on him 07:08
well no he smashed him through a wall 07:10
instead of firing him he just said go 07:13
back to where you were let's get over 07:14
the fil man those cats were as fast as 07:15
Lightning you know when he's fighting 07:17
Chuck Norris in Enter the Dragon no you 07:19
not seen that no have you not I can't 07:22
that is a classic no not seen him fight 07:26
chat Norris in Enter the Dragon I've 07:28
seen him fight chat Norris in way of the 07:30
Dragon that's what I meant that's what I 07:32
is it yeah why did you say' seen him 07:34
fight Chuck Norris and Enter the Dragon 07:35
he fights Bob Wall in both but Norris is 07:37
only in way of the Dragon yeah I know so 07:40
when he's fighting CH Norris in what in 07:43
way of the Dragon correct at last 07:45
um you know Bruce Lee is not really dead 07:48
don't you yes it's in a book what he did 07:51
was he faked his own death so he could 07:53
work undercover for the Hong Kong police 07:55
infiltrating drugs gangs in the Triads 07:57
yeah I reckon that's true yeah I reckon 07:59
that's true cuz if you were going to 08:01
send someone undercover to investigate 08:02
the Triads you'd probably want the 08:04
world's most famous Chinese film 08:05
star well gone off Dawn now have you 08:08

yeah okay down to 19:42
business um that's what we've come up 19:45
with as a redundancy 19:47
offer more than I expected 19:52
we've been quite generous bad 19:55
Bing now um you can leave on the 3 with 19:58
your holiday I understand which is 20:02
Tuesday now we wondered if you wanted to 20:04
come back for a party on the Friday or 20:06

before 20:10
whatever okay well again thanks very 20:12
much D don't make me 20:15
redundant please 20:21
look David I don't I've changed my mind 20:25
I don't want redundancy I don't want 20:27
that I haven't signed anything so 20:29
well D unfortunately it's not really up 20:32
to you okay then sorry all right then 20:34
well I'm asking okay please don't make 20:36
redundant you can you can talk to 20:44
someone 20:46
Jenny the wheels are already in motion 20:47
no we'll stop them because David we're 20:50
not going to discuss this now but just 20:53
say that it's not definite now before 20:55
you go and we 20:57
can I will try twice hard I really will 21:01
I have been complacent and I I'll turn 21:04
this place around if we just say that 21:06
that it's not definite now and then we 21:08
can um are you're not going until you're 21:10
starting from now starting from now 21:13
life is just a series of Peaks and 21:33
troughs and you don't know whether 21:36
you're in a trough until you're climbing 21:39
out or on a peak until you're coming 21:41
down and that's it you know you never 21:44
know what's around the corner uh but 21:46
it's all good yeah um yeah if you want 21:48
the rainbow you've got up with the 21:53
rain do you know which philosopher said 21:55
that Dolly Parton 21:58
yeah and people say she's just a big 22:01
pair of 22:03
tits it's a little bit different now 22:05
though because um Gareth is not general 22:08
manager as such like I was when I was 22:11
here I was sort of omnipotent and uh is 22:13
doing a much more water down version of 22:15
the just because of your redundancy 22:17
thing they couldn't call the job the 22:20
same thing and he sued them so did you 22:21
WI oh yes had to pay you off didn't they 22:24
yeah out of court settlement so quite a 22:27
lot of money waste your most of it 22:29
though I didn't waste it tell it what 22:31
you spend it 22:32
on I released my own single so if that's 22:34
a waste of money well it is a waste of 22:36
money cuz you didn't even get in the top 22:38
100 good didn't want it to 22:39
next how much did that cost put out a 22:42
single uh cost is a bit misleading 22:44
because um I I was paying for everything 22:46
I paid for the studio time PR cost all 22:48
myself rly how much do you think you 22:50
spend roughly £42,000 h 22:52
uh you know that's that's all outgo so 22:56
that's not taking into account the money 22:57
I made from the singles sold so uh you 22:59
know how much did you make um well cuz I 23:03
had my own record label J to position 23:05
records um I was taking the line share 23:07
so I was making a clear1 profit for 23:10
every single Sal how many records did 23:12
you 23:14
sell uh 50 something like that the over 23:15
all sorry 23:18
150 that was mainly to friends and 23:19
family and people in you and they were 23:22
only buying sympathy definitely not so 23:24
he's I bought five out of sympathy no 23:25
you bought one for your mates 23:27
so they're still in the garage 23:29

please short 29:00
announcement okay uh for those of you 29:03
who care or liked her Dawn Tinsley will 29:06
be coming in this afternoon if you never 29:08
heard of her before uh she was just a 29:11
receptionist worked here for some years 29:12
um her and her fiance Lee went to 29:15
Florida and yes Tim that's uh fiance if 29:18
you know what that word means um 29:21
uh maybe want to keep your thoughts to 29:25
yourself this 29:26
time all right back to it then 29:28
please hey I know what it's like I 29:41
worked in a lot of places over the years 29:45
and the number of infatuations bles have 29:47
had over 29:49
me oh God I'm me another car have me but 29:50
don't stop them I don't want it is about 29:54
me they light so 29:57
much I'm rcking my 29:59
brains this is nice isn't it 30:17
yeah see what's on offer 30:21
nice no your necklace I 30:30
wasn't I don't think so although funnily 30:35
enough the reason women wear necklaces 30:39
is to draw attention to the breasts I 30:41
don't no I mean subconsciously S no I 30:44
don't I wear this because my mother gave 30:47
it to me before she died yeah well I 30:49
mean she probably W to draw attention to 30:51
hers but I mean sorry can we not talk 30:52
about my dead mother's 30:54
breasts duck 31:02
[Music] 31:04
Pat I wasn't being Ned but I was now I'm 31:13
just interested in 31:16
breasts no um anthropology sort of all 31:17
that what signals we give off I'm not 31:21
giving off any signals no no we all are 31:24
I was a program on um Discovery Channel 31:27
interesting it was uh you know the 31:30
reason why men are attracted to to 31:31
cleavage it's because it reminds us of 31:34
women's bcks because I suppose 31:36
presumably when we were cavemen we used 31:39
to sort of do you from behind so we like 31:41
the and then we evolved and probably 31:43
turned you over when language came into 31:45
either chat or just to look at the 31:48
breast that reminded us of the buttocks 31:49
in the first place 31:52
can we not talk about breasts full 31:54
stop you want to stter no let's go 31:58
straight to the main 32:00
course yeah I spoke to her on the phone 32:09
seemed quite nice so uh feel a bit sick 32:11
really not nerves um excitement really 32:13
not sexual you know um she said to be 32:16
wearing a white chiffon scarf to help me 32:18
spot her so um oh the [ __ ] 32:20
David 32:25

think he's generally considered to be 33:18
the best baen which baen all the all his 33:19
main hits all the big on yeah yeah yeah 33:22
totally 33:25
de is 33:26
he all I'm a musician myself and all 33:28
those stuff he came up with I I don't 33:32
think he could have done better if he 33:34
could have heard what he was playing in 33:35
my 33:36
opinion what else is 33:47
um what else do you like don't have to 33:50
just talk about classical music we talk 33:52
about anything I talk so famous for we 33:54
talk about anything any subject you name 33:56
a subject and I but you name you name 33:58
some and I'll tell you an interesting 34:00
fact about it sort of trivia or S what 34:01
sort of thing 34:04
anything you can get this huh cows cows 34:05
cows have got four 34:09
stomachs 34:11
right don't me like that you said c 34:14
choose anything choose 34:17
anything lemons lemons well I can CH 34:20
something no you said lemons but on that 34:23
do 34:26
uh pound for pound there's more sugar in 34:28
a lemon than a 34:31
strawberry well I wouldn't know if that 34:33
was true or not wow you would cuz I just 34:35
told you it is I'm not a liar no no look 34:37
it up when you get home is that your uh 34:40
party trick not a trick is it knowledge 34:43
education don't you 34:46
so how do you feel that way um well not 34:54
Bal over to be 34:57
honest in fact I'm seriously thinking of 34:59
asking for money back under the trades 35:02
descriptions at because this is the 35:03
recent photo she sent 35:05
in i' don't been up for 35:08
that and what really annoys me is when I 35:11
first saw her I thought oh God and then 35:13
I thought well you know maybe she's got 35:15
a good personality she 35:17
hasn't I thought she'd be one of them 35:19
sort of happy bubbly ones cuz we're 35:21
eating 35:22
she's nothing you know I not talking 35:24
about me you couldn't hear that anyway 35:28
could you 35:30
no 35:32
right 35:35
so would you want to do this again with 35:37
you yes wouldn't have thought so I yeah 35:40
see you 35:45
later what did you think of him well he 35:49
wasn't quite what I 35:52
expected can I show you the photo we 35:54

away come

word
um as you are aware there are going to
be redundancies and you've made my life
easier in as much as I'm going to have
to let you go first what why

good girl that's a joke
weing well done settling
in practical jokes for the good thanks
for these check them
out do these now actually
you
wanker come
on you're such a sad little
man am
I didn't know
that what is the single most important
thing for a company is it the building
is it the stock is it the turnover
it's the people investment in people
yeah my proudest moment here wasn't when
I increased profit by 17% or cut
expenditure without losing a single
member of
staff was a young Greek guy first job in
the country hardly spoke a word of
English but he came to me and he went Mr
Brent will you be the Godfather to my
child
so didn't happen in the end we had to
let him go he was rubbish he was rubbish
that is you won need to use
that you've met this lot um Gareth you
saw in the meeting formal introductions
um hi Darth welcome just a handshake
that's fine and Ricky hi nice to meet
you even longer even Tim hello good okay
um sett her in get her started show her
the phones and everything but first we
think the lady does need a chair sit
down
AR maybe she should sit down here then I
could teach her the ropes that's my
responsibility as team leader David I'm
just saying maybe when people say oh
would you rather be thought of as a
funny man or a great Boss Mar St is the
same to me they're not mutually
exclusive there's there's a weight of

something nice and easy okay but I want
us to to uh play out a scenario that
highlights customer care okay that all
of you have to deal with people and it's
always possible to improve your people's
skills right in this uh scenario we'll
start something nice and easy I'm going
to play and and and this will be the
wrong way to do it I'm going to play a
very bad Hotel manager who just doesn't
care
and if it's a Basel 40 type character
then with their T maybe I should do it
just for the comedy yeah well let me
just play just you know just to kick
things off okay I'll probably bring so
much to this well anyway so right okay
well you've got a complaint you come and
complain and I'll show you the wrong way
to handle it this will be the wrong way
okay right so off we
go sorry what was the complaint just
just make it up anything because there's
no right or wrong thing in this scenario

afterwards so okay we might as you got
right okay okay I'd like to make a
complaint please don't

attention okay

points very interesting points FL up

care so am I and the way that we
would maybe I should as I thought I
should play the hotel manager cuz I'm
used to that I phased you but uh you
have a go see if you can phase me okay

that you're 100% committed to your
branch proberbly why I got that you do
understand that if you take on my job
Neil will stay in Swindon and your
branch will be downsized and
incorporated into his yep well I know
that you're very loyal to your family

to all the whole family it's one big
family yeah I'm just sensitive to the

emotional ties to your team well yeah

it is I've just spent a year in

worried about taking on all these new
staff because
as manager it's going to mean a lot more
responsibility he'll now have to
delegate twice as much
work but but there will be perks for him
I'm sure he's looking forward to having
a whole new group of men Underneath
Him Anyway here's the man at the top of
the pile David
Brent right you know he was saying there
about me being the top of the parliament

15 quids worth of
damage right okay let's
right oh good job Eric hitchmo isn't

agree with that in the workplace
wouldn't he oh imagine if uh Eric was a
Los Angeles detective be a bit weird
wouldn't it um yeah one final thing my
wife loved you but I don't agree with
that in the workplace what's that Eric
you've given up being a Los Sciences
detective and you started running a
hotel in t yes don't mention the War I
mentioned it once but I think I got I
don't agree with that in the workplace I
don't agree with that in the workplace
do you not know who Eric kmo is who's
been to the commentary
conference right so do you not know kmo

ah lunchtime gigs they the worst I think
near warmed up to be honest that's what
it went over he's not a professional
comedian so he was funny though but uh
often an AM to will stitch up
professional Le what I should have told
you right roal family Yeah Christmas day
had lunch sitting down Camila goes let's
play a game right let's play 20
questions I think at something and
you've got to guess what I'm thinking of
and what she's thinking of is a black
man's [ __ ] right so Charles goes uh is
it bigger than a bread bin she goes yes
Philip goes could I put it in my mouth
she goes yes so the queen goes is it a
black
a sorry were you doing a joke no that
was it what did the queen
say
didn't come on what was the joke it's
about the royal family playing 20
questons oh yeah yeah it's not the black
man's [ __ ] one is it you might be but I
don't bad it it's all right it's funny
H Miss well
done have you all met the uh this little
lady this
lady well it's a shame this had happen
on Neil's first day but well I've just
had a complaint from one of the new
intake what complaint I can't believe
that you think the way to welcome people
is by telling racist jokes wrong no way
but he'd heard it before right he
thought it was funny so I don't know why
he's complaining now he it was a woman
thought I assumed it was the the new guy
whoever it was is wrong cuz it isn't
racist what is it so what the joke the
gist of it won't be funny now would it I
don't care what's the
content royal family sitting at home
Christmas Day and uh Camila goes oh
let's play a game I think of Summer and
you have to guess what I'm thinking of
and what she's actually thinking of is a
black man's [ __ ]
so uh Charles goes um is it bigger than
the bread bin Camila goes yep so Philip
goes can I put it in my mouth cam goes
yep so the queen goes oh is it a black
man's
[ __ ] and he's heard it before so that's
the sort of there
yeah I can see why someone would find
that offensive it's not racist though is
it I don't say anything bad about black
people it's about a black man's [ __ ] why
is that racist it just happens to be a
black man's [ __ ] it could no you're
using the ethnic stereotype that all
black men have large penises because you
think that makes it funnier it's not an
insult though is it it's a compliment if
anything so so what you're saying is
that black people ought to be flattered
that their only achievement in this
world is having oversized genitalia I'm
saying they shouldn't be ashamed of them
it's a Miss I don't know Jennifer I
could show you a magazine where
literally could you well I haven't got
it with me but when you're next
in I could change it I could just say
big not mention the color well you could
or you could save those jokes for your
free time and not tell them in the
workplace it was his joke he told me it
yeah whatever David let's leave it there
you've heard my opinion on the matter
now should we go back outside
yeah she's uh right to be careful cuz uh
some of them can be a little bit
sensitive you know so sorry who who can
some some people can take things the
wrong way oh as an actor said to a
bishop and that's not a gay stereotype
the wrong way I'm not saying that is the
wrong way I'm saying it's a way and some
women like it the wrong way don't they
and they're straight it doesn't matter
if you're straight or gay you know a lot
of people are they're 1 in 10 apparent
that seems a bit High doesn't it but you
know if you you might be if you are good
luck to you you know just just make sure
it's legal and be safe okay
under
strengths you've just put accounts

that's
just no Keith what I sort of looking for
your skills within your job so is there
anything else you could have put

filled that in no no no no this is aimed
at you look um to what extent do you

knowledge to perform your job

flexibility to decide how best to

Gareth hi I'm in a meet a moment Gareth
yeah um just going to say you a few
things all right you're you're doing a
great
job okay just employee saying what a
superb job I'm
doing is that it no no I like your
little
beard okay is that it one one more thing
what um you should wear tighter
trousers can I give you a call back yeah
bye that was genius thank you genius
genius
[Laughter]
uh
brilliant we have a website with
profiles of all our speakers on them
would you mind answering a few questions
no go for it okay if you could have a
working lunch with anyone living or dead
who would it
be Martin Luther King and the Dalai
Lama and Rory Bremner
just to because they get a bit heavy
couldn't they two of them and need lien
things up probably do impressions of
them and
me what's your biggest
disappointment alt and
Towers oh I've never been it's rubbish
next
hello still doing practical
jokes trying to do some work now should
be giving them a rest no I've got some
yeah what' you
got
oh what I used to do Lo what were
they oh but you know we can we can think
of some we could yeah absolutely we
could think new ones yeah okay let's
think of some good ones for who for what
about Gareth Poss it's about time he had
some tricks played with him I think what
would your motto be
well I've noticed that some bosses are
intimidated by training their staff up
too well they don't I don't mind it I
actually like my staff to be better than
me that way you know it keeps me on my
toes so my motto would be be careful cuz
there's always someone ready to step
into your shoes and do your job better
than
you do it
he I'm gluing the
phone in the name of fun he will hate
[Music]
you you cooked it sorry this just little
little birthday P for TR so birthday
organize this
I over the top it how much that cost you
we're paying you too much I made it
myself made it
yourself every
year oh it's sweet in it too rich really
nice you want tast lemon drizz cak even
really I prefer a
FL going go carting again at the weekend
with the
lads oh yeah what down super carts y you
any good came first last time I went 8
minutes 51 got a
certificate yeah well I went down there
the first day opened right and I did a
couple of laps I pulled over BL the runs
the thing came over and said o no
professionals I took my helmet off I
said I'm not a professional he said
you're not a professional I said no he
said well you should be if I was you I'd
take up Formula 1 and if you drive like
that You' probably be the best in the
country so I'm not interested on making
shitloads out of computers
you had to go Speedway have you yep
right well I was doing it once and um I
was bombing it round and some idiot had
left like a a ramp thing out L bugs I
could see the people were going oh my
God if that guy hits that ramp going at
that speed he's definitely dead I hit
the ramp I took off in the air I turned
over in the air they were going well
he's definitely dead now I landed on my
wheels pulled over and said what we
worried
about uh about five five and so who was
this check with again what's this in the
mother's meeting so Dawn tells me
shutting down reception at
5: wow just half hour early today you
think it can run C
that yeah phones are go they can answer
their own they do their own post tonight
just that's good so we can probably lose
her all together then can we what do you
mean well if you don't need a
receptionist we may as well let her go
you know either she's needed or she's
not we do need a receptionist my point
is David you haven't put a system in
place you know for your own needs you've
told Dawn to shut down reception at 5:
you haven't told these people they pick
up the phone if it rings I mean does
Dawn know that they can do their own
post Dawn they can do their own post
tonight yeah there no yeah know he's
telling her now say there's no system in
place you're not thinking things through
I'm tired of this fuzzy thinking David
all right chill out don't have a cow
mate don't talk to me like you've
forgotten who's in charge let me remind
you I'm your boss okay yeah just try and
think things
through that was your fault again took
the r for you didn't I you
once right when Bruce Lee was filming
one of the extras just came over and
just started a fight oh yeah I know this
and it was amazing at coming through but
Bruce Lee just did a roundhouse on him
well no he smashed him through a wall
instead of firing him he just said go
back to where you were let's get over
the fil man those cats were as fast as
Lightning you know when he's fighting
Chuck Norris in Enter the Dragon no you
not seen that no have you not I can't
that is a classic no not seen him fight
chat Norris in Enter the Dragon I've
seen him fight chat Norris in way of the
Dragon that's what I meant that's what I
is it yeah why did you say' seen him
fight Chuck Norris and Enter the Dragon
he fights Bob Wall in both but Norris is
only in way of the Dragon yeah I know so
when he's fighting CH Norris in what in
way of the Dragon correct at last
um you know Bruce Lee is not really dead
don't you yes it's in a book what he did
was he faked his own death so he could
work undercover for the Hong Kong police
infiltrating drugs gangs in the Triads
yeah I reckon that's true yeah I reckon
that's true cuz if you were going to
send someone undercover to investigate
the Triads you'd probably want the
world's most famous Chinese film
star well gone off Dawn now have you
what
what what are you talking
about just shut up shut up
[Applause]
thank you very much it's quite AIT in
there you can add that to yours if you
like all right cheers I've already
raised more than that in a way cheers
anyway could we did last time so and if
you want to danc in should have come to

get we don't have to give a donation for
that do we well don't say it like that
all the money collected is for both
dances both excellent dances in there
well you know if there is a difference
mine was impromptu you so but I don't
think you should get extra points for
that necessarily make your own minds up
leave me out of it I'm collecting for
charity right so
uh you've seen me entertain and raise
money but maybe I'd like to do that in
the future for a living you know use my
humor and my profile to both help and
amuse people you know and if it's ideas
for TV shows you know game shows or
whatever you want I'm your man you know
I'm already exploring the entertainment
Avenue with my management training but
you know I'd like to do that on a global
scale really and that's not going oh
look at me today I'm entertaining whilst
saving lives aren't I brilliant it's
going if you think I'm brilliant then
give generously and help save these guys
who are starving but are also brilliant
not as entertainers a lot of them can't
even speak English but you know don't
give their own game show but um save
them from dying at least and then maybe
they could you know do something in
their own country on television or
whatever they have the wireless or I
don't know something give them give him
a job on the world service or
something excuse me DAV um yes can can

just say what's uh on your mind and I'm
getting it down well are you getting it

pretty just wow okay your question I
suppose was is it difficult to remain
authoritative and yet so popular no that
was my question well well should I

just stick to my questions well maybe
you should be clear what the question is
because I'm getting a little bit and
that's you know

offensive what's so what's so funny

better
H David quipped why buy a book when you

well I'm not going around like using

chilling out while I'm young I suppose

going to pull it to for Filth
all right D yep fine you y good small
talk done okay thanks very much um
everyone really appreciates what you've
done
yeah okay down to
business um that's what we've come up
with as a redundancy
offer more than I expected
we've been quite generous bad
Bing now um you can leave on the 3 with
your holiday I understand which is
Tuesday now we wondered if you wanted to
come back for a party on the Friday or
leave on the Friday
before
whatever okay well again thanks very
much D don't make me
redundant please
look David I don't I've changed my mind
I don't want redundancy I don't want
that I haven't signed anything so
well D unfortunately it's not really up
to you okay then sorry all right then
well I'm asking okay please don't make
redundant you can you can talk to
someone
Jenny the wheels are already in motion
no we'll stop them because David we're
not going to discuss this now but just
say that it's not definite now before
you go and we
can I will try twice hard I really will
I have been complacent and I I'll turn
this place around if we just say that
that it's not definite now and then we
can um are you're not going until you're
starting from now starting from now
life is just a series of Peaks and
troughs and you don't know whether
you're in a trough until you're climbing
out or on a peak until you're coming
down and that's it you know you never
know what's around the corner uh but
it's all good yeah um yeah if you want
the rainbow you've got up with the
rain do you know which philosopher said
that Dolly Parton
yeah and people say she's just a big
pair of
tits it's a little bit different now
though because um Gareth is not general
manager as such like I was when I was
here I was sort of omnipotent and uh is
doing a much more water down version of
the just because of your redundancy
thing they couldn't call the job the
same thing and he sued them so did you
WI oh yes had to pay you off didn't they
yeah out of court settlement so quite a
lot of money waste your most of it
though I didn't waste it tell it what
you spend it
on I released my own single so if that's
a waste of money well it is a waste of
money cuz you didn't even get in the top
100 good didn't want it to
next how much did that cost put out a
single uh cost is a bit misleading
because um I I was paying for everything
I paid for the studio time PR cost all
myself rly how much do you think you
spend roughly £42,000 h
uh you know that's that's all outgo so
that's not taking into account the money
I made from the singles sold so uh you
know how much did you make um well cuz I
had my own record label J to position
records um I was taking the line share
so I was making a clear1 profit for
every single Sal how many records did
you
sell uh 50 something like that the over
all sorry
150 that was mainly to friends and
family and people in you and they were
only buying sympathy definitely not so
he's I bought five out of sympathy no
you bought one for your mates
so they're still in the garage
[Music]
