Another domestic ultimatum
Tasha had cleaned her boyfriend Aaron’s car and discovered approximately 50 bitten fingernails in a pile beside the driver’s seat. Stopping the habit entirely might be difficult, but she at least wanted him to dispose of the evidence rather than leave it for her to find.
Scott proposed the same exchange used by Amy and Daniel. Aaron disliked washing up, so every nail Tasha found would make it his responsibility; if the car stayed clean, she would do it. Chris’s less useful solution was a dedicated pot in which Aaron could save the clippings, possibly to eat later.
Frostbit Boy becomes seasonal
The arrival of cold weather inspired Scott to create a new tradition. Just as familiar adverts and songs announced Christmas, the programme would call Ruairi McSorley whenever temperatures dropped and ask him to repeat “you wouldn’t be long getting frostbit”.
Ruairi had become known through a television interview delivered in his strong Northern Irish accent and had since appeared on the show after leaving school on horseback. He sounded slightly tired of the catchphrase but eventually reproduced it with the required surprise.
His fame had continued. Ruairi was voicing the genie in a pantomime and preparing a country-style song, although the record did not use the frostbite line Scott considered its obvious chorus. The show promised to call him again when the next cold season arrived.
Greg James played Real or No Real. Adele had not sent friends greeting cards that simply said “Hello”, but a survey really did report that one-quarter of young people thought fish had hands. Chris blamed fish fingers and then argued that evolution might eventually produce hand-bearing fish capable of driving cars and flying planes. Scott ended the fact more concerned by Chris’s understanding of evolution than the original survey.
