:03:02
some genuine and some...
not quite so genuine.
:03:07
And what's great is that lots of friends
have ended up in this part of London.
:03:10
That's Tony, for example,
architect turned chef,
:03:14
who recently invested all the money
he ever earned in a new restaurant.
:03:17
And so, this is where
l spend my days and years...
:03:20
in this small village in the middle of
the city in a house with a blue door...
:03:24
that my wife and l bought together
before she left me for a man...
:03:27
who looked exactly like Harrison Ford.
:03:30
And where l lead a strange half-life
with a lodger called--
:03:33
Spike !
:03:40
You couldn't help me with an incredibly
important decision, could you ?
:03:43
lmportant compared to, let's say,
whether they cancel Third World debt ?
:03:46
That's right. l am at last going out
on a date with the great Janine,
:03:50
and l just wanna be sure
l've picked the right T-shirt.
:03:52
- What are the choices ?
- Well, wait for it.
:04:02
First there's this one.
Cool, huh ?
:04:05
Yeah, it might make it hard
to strike a really romantic note.
:04:09
Point taken.
Don't despair.
:04:11
lf it's romance we're looking for,
l believe l have just the thing.
:04:19
Yeah, well, there again, she might not
think you had true love on your mind.
:04:23
Right.
Just one more.
:04:31
True love here l come.
:04:38
Well, yeah. Yeah, that's--
that's, um, perfect.
:04:42
Great. Thanks.
:04:45
- Wish me luck.
- Good luck.
:04:54
And so it was
just another hopeless Wednesday,
:04:56
as l walked the thousand yards
through the market to work,
:04:59
never suspecting that this was the day
that was gonna change my life forever.
