"We stole countries with the cunning use of flags. Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain!" Theyre going, "You cant claim us, we live here! Five hundred million of us!" "Do you have a flag…? "What? We dont need a bloody flag. This is our country, you bastards!" "No flag, no country, you cant have one! Those are the rules ... that I just made up! And Im backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association."

They always land perfectly, they never do that sort of wobbly-gymnast … [mimes wobbling] You never see cats on a wall having a problem, do you? You never see a cat going, [mimes tentative walk] "Fucking ell! Im not sure about this …" and a cat on the ground, going, "Easy, Ginger! Ill walk you down!"
