    Kim’s interrogating Jack as to the whereabouts of 2 coloured pens. They’ve been counted out, and they need to be counted back in again. It’s like a handgun has gone missing, concealed somewhere for use in a future premeditated crime. “Where are those pens? What have you done with them? Are they upstairs? You’re not…

    LOL! After my earlier post SkyOne played the Simpsons episode where Homer gorges himself to reach the weight of 300lbs so he can work from home with a disability benefit. That’s what I’m talking ’bout. You can’t write this stuff. Oh, and if you need to spend the evening swapping out the hard disk in…
