That's ridiculous
This whole Raoul Moat thing crossed the line from surreal to satirical when Paul Gascoigne turned up. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it had turned out to be a massive Jeremy Beadle-esque prank and Moat had risen from the coffin proclaiming "it's just a flesh wound"

He could post the story on QOTW.
It must have hurt like buggery having your face blown off, while being tazered.

People will do bloody anything to become famous these days

YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING WHEN I'M RICH AND FAMOUS
if they ever fucking call me

Also, I'm not doing Ballroom to become famous, I'm way too old for that. Although, admittedly, if I'd started dancing young enough to be of a decent standard when Strictly started, I'd have done it like a shot

If you get rich
You own me a dinner in a posh Japanese restaurant. Preferably in Japan.

WON'T WILL
RICH AND FAMOUS BOOTED OFF AFTER THE FIRST ROUND CRYING BECAUSE ANNE ROBINSON CALLED ME A GIRL

It took me a while
But oh, I'm laughing now :)

Yeah, I'd cry if Anne Robinson mocked my masculinity
cos that NEVER happens

And there's no fucking way I'll go out in the first round, have you seen the mongs they have on that programme?

ooh careful
pride comes before a very public fall on BBC2

I know I shouldn't get too cocky
and that it's different sitting at home screaming bloody obvious answers at the screen than it is being in the studio, etc. But if I get on, I fully intend to win. My Dad only came second and he's been on loads of quiz shows, so it'd be brilliant to go one better

Or say they're leaving
to get everybody's attention and then staying.

Worked a treat, didn't it
Remind me how it is that I OWE you dinner? Although I ever make enough money to take you to Japan on a whim, I bloody will

Sorry
I keep having that one wrong... I'll practice at home tonight.

Well, you said you didn't have enough money to do it just now, so I'm waiting for you to get rich.

I wasn't mocking your English honey
it's a hell of a lot better than my Spanish. The emphasis was meant to enquire as to why I owe you dinner in the first place
