Mum would have us out of here in 'bout a week. Deities couldn't stand havin' her 'round all the time. [He gets such a grin it can be heard in her voice.]

Don't you dare take it back. I loved the last one so much I slept with it for a while. You can put it under the tree. [Yes there's a tree in the flat. Probably a bit odd looking, decorated with more pink and blue than most Christmas trees are. It probably looks like it threw up every idea of Christmas ever as well.]
