The Thick of It2005

Peter Mannion:
How is my blog? My own personal blog, personally written by me? [all reading the blog]

Phil Smith:
There we go. Yesterday you liked the leader's speach, it was bold, corageous and sent up the right signals. And you had fruit for lunch.

Peter Mannion:
Oh, I write very well. What's the feedback like? Let's see that.

Phil Smith:
Open this page here. Here we go.

Peter Mannion:
[reading] "I don't trust you, you Cypriot crook". Cypriot? This is the sh*t room! You've opened the sh*t room door. "How're the maintenance payment going on, you bastard?" Christ, that was 12 years ago!

Phil Smith:
I haven't seen that one...

Peter Mannion:
[reading] "Adulterous Nazi!"

Phil Smith:
Or that one.

Emma Messinger:
That's actually, I think, the same one.

Peter Mannion:
This is the trouble with the public, they're f***ing horrible!

Emma Messinger:
Peter, you can't say the public are f***ing horrible.

Peter Mannion:
Yes I can, I've met them. [reading] "You've always got such a pained expression. Do you take it up the chutney?" Really? I mean, for God's sake...

Emma Messinger:
The chutney?

Peter Mannion:
It's up the arse.
