[Nick:] Knock out of goal. The thing was Chapman... was in front of him weren't he?
[Gavin:] I, I wouldn't honestly say that it, he did it deliberately to be honest. I think it'd be very harsh to give a penalty. I don't know.

[Richard:] I thought it was pretty er, ironic that we were playing Crime of the Century by Supertramp and I just got this bloody... hi-fi off you and the bloody tape won't work! Er, the
[Nick:] I I
[Richard:] C D wasn't working.
[Nick:] I tell you what it could be is that... cos you gotta know that C D's use laser to read it

[Richard:] Yeah, I think it would.
[Nick:] a definite penalty!
[Gavin:] I say, he went up just to erm... frighten him and
[Nick:] left there.
[Gavin:] but I don't reckon he erm... went up to deliberately shove him out the way.
[Richard:] Perhaps if he'd realized. Well I should think they are.
[Gavin:] It's probably really bowled one!
[Nick:] Rich, the fact is, he should have put it in the
[Richard:] That cross by Geates What a ned! That Williams is shite! You can always tell the shit reserve players when they come in the side! That bloody Williams bloke makes me puke!

[Sue:] and this, this guy came for it... and, obviously Lynn can't say, we don't want to take a ma man on it'll be... sex discrimination.
[Gavin:] Yeah.
[Sue:] But it won't be suitable, I mean, one he's bloody crap! And erm..., it's only seventeen hours, it's four hours a day... so that's why it would suit somebody who's married.
[Gavin:] Is he a nice bloke?
[Sue:] No! He's just stupid! He's, he's already come in for one form... put it, he's obviously filled one form in, he came up and he said can I have an application form for that job in the window, so I gave him one... and he went, oh well I've just filled one in. I thought... I thought, did he just say can I have... can I have an application form or here's an application form? And I looked at him, and he went..., no I made a mistake on it. So he sto, do you know where the two tills are downstairs do you?
[Gavin:] Yeah.
[Sue:] They were on the erm... the main one we use
[Gavin:] Yeah.
[Sue:] just by the step in, he was stood, resting on the erm... perspex thing... that is, that is erm... till guard, and he's stood writing it on there cos he thought there was nowhere else. And... stood blocking like, how I get round to the till! And you just couldn't absolutely see anything... serving customer... I was going to so, to move... or change out my draw... shutting it up, turning it off, going away... and somebody else had come, he kept, kept, kept doing that and he was stood there all the time and I thought... I thought you definitely won't get the job! Well you're, you're not bloody suitable for it cos you keep getting... under my bloody feet!... And then
[Gavin:] How old is he?
[Sue:] I dunno. Probably about twenty three I think. And he's filled all the front in and the back, like, referees and everything... and he said... inside you've got to give your details of your erm... employment history... and he'd not put anything in, said I didn't know whether to put anything on there cos I'm on a Y P. I said, what you mean a Y T S? He sa, and he looked and he went... yeah, Y T. And I says, well... you know, is it, is it a job? You've got to put it down. And he went, well no it's not a job. I said, well what is it then? He said, well I'm training. I said, well training to do what? He says I'm training on a Y T S. Jesus Christ! Is he really thick or what! I still don't know what he's doing! He were working for an erm... Macro or something. Macro?
[Gavin:] Yeah. Well maybe.
[Sue:] Oh I'm, I'm thinking of Macro... Macro wholesalers.
[Gavin:] Well I know Macro.
[Sue:] And when he went, as he went, she says oh I don't think he'll have much choice, er, much chance do you?... And we got this mad bloke come in! And... the amount of people come in, with a cigarette... I have to go up and tell them that it's a no-smoking area and they look at me as if I'm stupid! Did I tell you about that bloke the other week who got, the one who just cocky with me? Ooh God! He really got my back up! This young lad about... probably about twenty three, twenty four, and he came in with a cigarette and I said excu... excuse me but I'm afraid it's a no-smoking area. And he looked at me, and he said well have you got any, he go, started like tutting and said well have you got any signs up? And I must have been in a really funny mood, and I said yes we have it's on the till and he went... well I suggest you get them in the windows then! And I felt like saying fuck off and [LAUGHTER] get out []! But I thought... they're obvious, do you know what I mean? It's like... going to a firework factory and... sparking up a cigarette you just wouldn't do it would you?... You wouldn't! And this bloke come in today... and erm... looked a bit, looked a bit like a tramp... didn't quite catch what he said, I'm sure he said... God sent me in here for a cigarette!
[Gavin:] [LAUGHTER]
[Sue:] I said,, I said I'm sorry it's a no-smoking area. And he looked at me, give me a really horrible look as well! Felt like going... you know, how when somebody put a lot of hate in their eyes?
[Gavin:] That's very, bad as what you give
[Sue:] No.
[Gavin:] me every day.
[Sue:] I can't do it. You know like th... if you look at someone... and they always say your eyes... are the souls... o yo, like your soul aren't they? You can always read people's eyes, especially with your kind of facial expressions, cos the eyes always tell the truth. And he looked u like he really hated me!
[Gavin:] Probably did!
[Sue:] What, cos I told him... he couldn't smoke?
[Gavin:] No! Probably just hates everybody!

[Gavin:] Everyone.
[speaker007:] So hotel is right? Right. Er, now... thinking of the experience of recording your conversations using the personal stereo and filling in the booklet how do you find this in general?
[Gavin:] Er... doing the tape's is okay. Erm... you occasionally forget it's there... which makes your conversation more natural but... you also forget to turn the tape over
[speaker007:] Right.
