Good shout.

I don't get the 484 BG answer or the 98322ST. Please explain it to meI want to get it.

She ordered sex toy for ten pound, I have to be honest and say with hindsight that this sketch is f**king shite.
I'll keep it up a lesson to myself.

Carlos thanks for at least trying to make sense of it, I know you Welsh are curious by nature but it was still nice of you to have a go.

I did try a few times to see if there was anything I was missing, I even thought the numbers might read something upside down, or backwards.

I will also remind you of this sketch from time to time if you fall off the wagon.

I got it.

I probably should mind my own business but I think it works if you lose the last 3 lines and very slightly reword it!

Something like this:

There's a terrific sketch in there because it's a good idea.Why not extend it and get more and more doolally as you realise he's ordered more and more bonkers things that you couldn't order eg. a toy plastic tank for his nephew but they've delivered a full-size one etc.

I liked the idea of giant garden gnomes. After that it got a bit wank.
