Anto: "So anyways, the Corsa was makin' this weird clankin' noise whenever I turned a corner. Drivin' me nuts, jeknoworrimean? Checked the spoiler was glued on proper, checked the speakers in the back wasn't loose, couldn't figure it out."
Bodger: "So watcher dew?"
Anto: "Bought bigger fookin' speakers and played fiddy cent up mega loud. That way I couldn't hear the clankin' no more."
Bodger: "Class fookin' idea man."

Bodger: "Ah man look what's gettin' on."

Anto: "Ah jaysus."

Hollywood megastar Tommy Lee Jones is said to be "outraged" following his recent ejection from a Dublin venue.
