Season 2 Episode 15 - 4th January 2003
Episode Description
The guys are back after the Christmas break and Karl has come up with two new features, “War Do You Think Of That Then” and “Riktuals”. Karl talks about his holiday activities including buying Suzanne condoms for xmas.

Karl was grumpy at having to stay up till midnight at New Year and reckons they should bring it forward to 10.30. Steve and Ricky aren’t impressed with “Riktuals” which they reckon is borderline racist.

This week Karl wants to get rid of octopuses and reveals the code the French used during the second world war.

Ricky: 1 or 2, go on, fifty fifty, go on, yeah.

Steve: (laughs) On this day.
Ricky: It's like saying what am I thinking of, what was the battle, what was the...
Steve: Ok so alright...
Ricky: Look at him, look at him! He's genuinely confused that I've asked this question.
Karl: It was...
Ricky: No! No, no, if you ask me a question ask me the question correctly, what was the code for battle, during what battle?
Karl: World War II.
Ricky: No, that's not a battle, that's a war.
Karl: Yeah it was in a war, yeah.
Ricky: (laughs out loud) I don't know what to do! He confuses people.
Steve: (laughs) Alright, ok, what was it Karl? What was their code?
Ricky: Yeah what are you thinking of?
Karl: John's got a moustache.
Ricky: (laughs out loud)
Steve: What are you talking about!
Ricky: My lungs are gonna burst.
Karl: That was a code that the French used, do you know how like, I mean I just think it's a bit daft because you could come up with that by mistake.
Ricky: (laughs) Yeah, yeah, two French blokes talking in the trenches and they see a major walking past and they go "oh look, John's got a moustache" and they all go over, "no I was just talking!". What are you talking about!
Karl: Well the way, I don't think that's a good code.
Ricky: I don't believe it is the code!
Karl: No, it is seriously.
Steve: And would it have been said in French?
Karl: Yeah, yeah.
Ricky: Yeah, yeah, guessing, yep, yep, yep.
Karl: No but...
Ricky: What!
Karl: You see I can't even be bothered.
Ricky: (laughs) What are you saying Karl?
Karl: Because it's not a very good code, d'you know how like we've talked in the past about you know, things you don't see and I said an old man eating a twix, now if they use that, that's safe, coz no one is ever gonna see a man, you know, an old man eating a twix.
Ricky: What d'you mean!
Karl: Well use that as a code, don't use a saying, John's got a moustache, coz that could crop up, and it's like "the war's kicked off", "how did that happen?", "well I said John had a moustache".
Ricky: (laughs) Two French blokes would never be saying "John's got a moustache", why would they?
Karl: Coz back then they were fashionable.
Ricky: (laughs out loud) He nearly makes sense doesn't he?
