Omikron: What are you getting each other for Christmas???
David: I’m buying her lipstick, and she’s getting me an empty pack of Marlboros.
littlewonder: You had a giraffe?!
David: Funnily yes, Iman only had a little puppy in Somalia. But down in London, giraffes were quite the thing. If you went down into the park on Sundays, there would be loads of kids walking their giraffes on long leashes. By the time the sun had gone down, there would be a heck of a tangle and many children were lost this way… the giraffes walking back to the houses alone. My goodness, those were the days.
