He then goes on to talk about someone called Desmond Decker. The person who wrote this is a university professor. Gizza job. I can do that. I can get all the names and dates wrong and do power points and that.

Might have him mixed up with Carol. Easy mistake to make. If you’re an idiot.

Suddenly remembering a Fry and Laurie sketch containing the following exchange. "...trendy young people in the 60s..." "Trendy young people in their 60s?" "THE 60s. THE 60s."
