Of course it had to be a girl. Now they can start it all all over again. And she'll get to do the washing up.

You're all too busy watching, eh? Nothing's going to happen. You know that.

But if nothing's happening, there's nothing to comment on . . .

But it's not happening in an interesting manner?

She would.

And they're all going to die in a drunken car crash?
 
M1795537OCVirn
She is definitely enjoying this.

Rabbie Burns lives!

He's obviously going to win: he's got leather trousers.

I'm finding this a bit underwhelming.

Are you not curious about what will happen?

A bit - but only a bit.

They're all rather unappealing people.

It was the 80's. Everyone was. (present company excepted, of course).

I don't really care what happens as long as it's not a jokey ending.
