Several times, really.

Confirming they were properly dead.

But there he was,

On the TV.

It was hard no to be proud of the guy.

And into his very own flat!

With housemates.

So not quite his own.

'What the hell is that?!'

He ejaculated,

Pointing firmly in the direction of a mysterious object.

'A washing machine'

Replied Daisy.

Fondled it morosely

Regretting being forgetful.

Ethel equipped an oversized cagoule and went to put the bins out.

He threw his orange.

Icy cold.

Icy!

The floor was icy,

With ice.

Mark slipped on it.

He laughed through the pain,

To prevent onlookers thinking he was embarrassed.

They were sad about this.

Trevor offered his wife a box of chocolates,

By way of an apology.

There was a note too,

Something along the lines of,

'See, if I thought you were fat,

Would I have bought these?'

Which didn't do much to improve matters.

Eugene got into fighting.

Brawling in the streets.
