Doesn't everyone know Queen and Brian May?

(When deciding whether every area is famous for something)

A - Brian Cox.



C - Who's he?



D - The scientist who used to be a musician.



C - Oh him. The only handsome science guy.



D - Some people would vote for Brian May though. Even though he's about 70 years old.



C - I don't know who that is.



D - He's in Queen.



C - What's Queen?



D - The band? He's the one with the hair.



C - I don't know what that is.



D - The band. Queen. Freddie Mercury. Brian May. Roger Taylor. And the other one that no one can name.

I do believe in charity, I do, I do

(After watching an advert for the Race For Life, a charity run to raise money for breast cancer. The Race For Life is part of the charity Cancer Research.)



C - I don't believe in charity.



D - What if you get ill? And didn't you say cancer ran in your family?



C - Yeah, but if I get ill I can get treated at hospital.



D - Using treatments that are discovered by Cancer Research and other charities?



C - Well, duh.



D - That doesn't seem very logical.

M - Haven't you done the Race For Life?



C - Yeah. For fun.



D - Wait, what?

C - ...oh yeah.
