"Frank Gallagher
"I had to wait 4 hours at A & E 'cause of someone queue hopping! Who cares if he was shot? He shot HIMSELF. Some people are so selfish."
""Where's your Mama gone? Where's your Mama gone?" Used to sing that to the kids when Monica fucked off, never a dry eye in the house, all shot off upstairs howling they did."
"Debbie, love. You're as miserable as Morrissey eating Kentucky Fried Chicken at an animal rights festival."
