  1. I've just noticed some mistakes in the transcription of the conversation: it should be "bear with me a second" instead of "bare...", "right" instead of "rice" "wants" instead of "want's" and "what" instead od "wash".

    Apart from that there's a missing "wee" (meaning "little", informally used in Northern Ireland and Scotland) after "hold on one..." and a missing "at the minute" after "it's a joke factory..."
    I hope you like it.
