0:26.8	you have to do loads of shit? The real like absolute pressure point of December and it's been
0:33.6	fucked hard and what we get is this phenomenon of people.

1:11.1	And this girl who always loved throwing a sickie anyway she rang in and uh said to a line manager uh i can't i can't get in you know obviously she has to do the voice of when you're when you're not coming in to work i can't get in and he was like um kelly you know we lived two streets down from each other oh this is a legendary tale uh well yeah kelly get on the central line and get in stop being
