a contributing factor to football hooliganism you say that invisible entities which

fly off into the atmosphere whenever you take a pay and they stimulate aggressive tendencies

now at afton when everyone pays at once massive numbers are fed in arms i said

three right and apparently this is why 67

of violence takes place in the second half

let's come up with something new every dealer no no i'm going along with that i was at villa park one year and

somebody pissed in me pocket i was furious

like oh well me and buddy had plenty probably slowed two of me back through

france but no ways you know fiancee what they give la france here the

bigger you see what they speak shortly on me one as usual well i'm very sorry if my personal

affairs have intruded on your plans us not many plans pop you were the one who

let's see obtaining i've got my private life to remain private much no we await developments with baited

breasts

oh look if a temperature's not done tomorrow we've got to get the doctor in no i don't know i hate the thought of

foreign doctors i mean at least if we were told what you take around the corner and say dr

amrit branch i think it's just a combination of the mosquito bites in too much sun at the beach yesterday

you're probably right listen i've got to get back to the lads you just stopping here today i've got two well keep an eye on her if

you want to go down the port it wouldn't look right you've got your job to do

hey it's ironic isn't it here's this we've got a luxury villa i'm outside lean bricks

you're stuck in doors watching spanish tv

which one do you think chris well it is your villa after all vicky

oh an uber i mean you've got a flare for this sort of thing i mean that's why i wanted to go

he says that one's twice as expensive

get any more to choose from you know no no remains made up it's between these two

well if it was up to me i would go for this one the more traditional design but that is the expensive one no i'm not

bothered about with that i mean it's ali's money that's the one thing is it i i'm adamant i love that

great i'll do the business okay

wonder if i should tailor barbecue area

what do you think oh i don't know vicky i really don't know but i'm sure the

villa is going to be absolutely exquisite once it's finished

you don't sound very enthusiastic that would be all right if it was just for the odin what do you mean chris i've got nobody

to confide in that's why i'm pleased you're here i mean ali never tells me anything breathing out and put two and two

together he's been really touchy recently and it's been all these late night phone calls and now we solicit us turned

up and bet holdwood's not down here for a turn what are you saying see him or maybe down here for good

well if it does come to that there are worse places to live

oh no it's got everything i mean the climate and the mediterranean and we get all english television flown

over on video chris that dive i thought i was never going to stay in newcastle again

yeah nice i'm sorry about the french street night oh sorry

forget it actually i'm thinking we've got ibiza

yeah all right well i've got a couple of miracles doing there and they're reckoning it's paradise that either pissed your brains or stoned

at your school but twenty-four hours a day apparently and the tony they reckon there's that much float in the wood on the beach you

can remain with choice so that sounds like just the sort of place for a little bit a recuperation that is not

obviously eyes are coming out of us but how many of the complexion [Music]

of me mates they've watched me suffering while you pillaged around making your mind what you want out of life

well i'm sick of your divisiveness and i'm sick of procrastinating would that be all senior now

have it ever been like this before barry probably because i've never been so polixed around before it's so assertive and decisive and

that's what i need in a man because i'm one of nature's vacillators right right if it's decision that she

[Music]

this is really a turn up yes well let's uh let's keep the lid on each other my lips

are sealed have you got any warnings to give us about him

it's a prince among men [Music]

you tell buyers to go up to dennis's mother's house you check out his friends his neighbors can i take the car well

just take whatever you like just get lost will you

ali ali ali dennis is a family man he has kids

here he's not going to do a runner with your money don't panic don't tell me not to panic

pile up then this is picked up at an airport then it is mine nuts are in the ringer good morning where jesus name have you

been i got the first flight out this morning oh you did did you well you had a night out in the town i'm

down here at the airport for two hours but you're out doing the strip clubs at soho no no no i was detained by two gentlemen of the

customs are you well didn't give you a good

going over then oh hi i certainly did yeah what did they say

well uh eventually they said we're very sorry that you've been

inconvenienced mr patterson

oh

very sorry you've been inconvenienced mr fans terrific

don't fart me around dennis don't fall you around you set me up to bring a bag of undeclared ill*gal currency out of

country you put my chopper on the block pal did they find it well if the harder wouldn't be here would i

see so you opened this case before you left home it's a good job i did isn't it

you must think i'm a right w*nk*r look i knew i wasn't sent back to newcastle to bring you back some

documents something heavy is coming down on your pal it couldn't happen to a nicer fella it's

like vicky has been sh**ting the mouth off just leave vicki out there so you brought this on yourself man where is my money dennis

well let's see if that's a fuel could have taken out the bump we sell up the club class

yeah it's the reason i didn't level with you is because i reckon that what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve

over you know i didn't want you going through customs but they all ticker pounding and the old blood pressure sh**ting up through the roof oh it's nice to know that you had my

best interested heart oh then it's the reason that i sent you as a reflection of my trust

we've worked together for a long time you and me yeah scotch do you look i'm about to jack all

this in right not 25 grand that's like my warranty you laying down

terms dennis i am actually yeah first off you hold the deeds to my wife's house

i'd be obliged if hallward sent them back me back right secondly as you're about to become an

exile out here i'm a bit concerned about the lads i mean your assets might get tied up for a

bit so that money is guaranteed a full whack generous bonuses in an airfare's

buckwheat anything else no

oh yeah yeah if i see vicky with so much as a broken

finger neil you'll never see the balance

hello hi dude all right holy cow yeah hey put the scratch in

there for you in a bottle of water for when you're through hey magic never tell you what working

out here you forgot what a tiny side sunset looks like

i got you that for tipping this away boat alley oh thanks it's good to see you good to see you too

so that was right then ali fraser is in some sort of trouble oh he's in trouble all right

you know what i think set the ball rolling that house we did up for him in derbyshire

you know when we were working there we used to see it was haunted i'll tell you one thing it's going to

come back and haunt ali he got too greedy cut too many corners

no it's all going to come down on him well where does that leave us and all the rest of the lights oh it's

all right i took oat insurance what do you mean i'll tell you after i

would have worked man oh yes not yet you

haven't

i've never heard that before dennis singing in the show oh my mind he's been

ever so cheerful i've noticed that that's very worried

she's not used to it that's all i think it's chris oh hi

women always think it's women that cheer men up there's more to it than that what's your thing though i never know

maybe because he's grown home we've got some more work lineup well say what you like i think they're

very well suited and she's a very nice girl you never said she wasn't well you certainly got out of bed the wrong side

this morning didn't you oh i'm sorry i suppose it's the

situation living this close proximity to another couple i haven't had to pay for a hotel no

it's a bit restricting in other areas isn't it honestly you're so old-fashioned in some ways never

i mean i know they're in the next room but you don't have to run both bathtubs every time we make love why can't you believe there's no

hot water again i know it must go against the green but

you've got to give your gaffer top marks or initiative if i ever get back to the uk and we'll damage him for the less

he's pretty safe then by the santa things hey don't worry about the 25 grand think

about it there's a blessing in disguise well i find it hard to be that philosophical no be fair

it lets you know that they're on your case it's only a matter of time before they seize your books freeze your a*s that's an issue of the warrants

and believe me i speak as someone with some experience in these matters so what do i do now buy yourself some

time son spain may not be the haven that you thought it was you may be better off in costa rica or

the mongolian people's republic don't become the comedian of mckinney now bear with me son the brits will already be in touch with

their spanish amigos believe me and i've got some money in switzerland

better better the foresight planning the ability to think ahead

that's what separates you and me from the common herd alley and i'd have to go there myself right you get yourself down there then

go down to tangiers i know this bloke there with a boat don't worry he's not a tan hand in a night shirt with a flower pot

on his head he's from felix stone dead solid how much twenty percent twenty percent

well that's on because you're my mate and that's all in and for that you get bobby and his boat in tangier

all the overheads and the crew of the san saucy oh well worry about the numbers later

who do we get the ball rolling well i need a little bit in advance you know i've got some cash in a safe up in the villa

all right let's uh go and count it shall we

hang on a minute wait a minute wait a minute i'm on bobby's boat yeah i've got my money in the suitcase how do

you propose to get me back on spanish soil and detect it well i think about that one won't we

right lads it won't harm you to damn tools early for once
