At the end of my second-ever I.M. chat with Carolyn (and, indeed, anyone) last night:
Me: …Oh yes, and before I forget… Knock knock…
Carolyn: who's there?
Me: Bigish.
Carolyn: bigish who?
Me: Sorry, mate, I haven't got any spare change! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
Carolyn: very funny - goodnight!
Did you make that up yourself? If so, pat yourself on the back and buy yourself a pint.
No, I didn't make it up myself—which is why the title of this item is 'Quoting Peter Kaye...'
But I'm still going to give myself a pat on the back.
