Lads: “Er…no.”

Guy Who Hasn’t Slept: “No problem, it’s a pity though…good market to get into.”

1. Man walking into the main arena with friends: “So I had this dream where there was like a party and I dreamt this phone number and I remembered the number when I woke up, so I rang it and I got this guy’s voicemail. Anyway I left him a voicemail explaining what happened…but he never got back to me.”
