The fire alarm goes off, Ricky wants to leave which results in Steve and Karl mocking him as being cowardly. Steve discusses his height and how difficult it is to find clothes that fit him. He also recalls a New Year anecdote involving a balloon.

Karl explains how “the baguette came about” and has difficulty saying the word “businessmen”. Ricky’s mate tells him about a funny incident involving a married couple on holiday.

Ricky talks about the time Bucks Fizz tried to smuggle him onto a flight to Newcastle during his pop star days. Steve has seen the Britney Spears film “Crossroads” but no one seems interested.

Baguettes

Ricky: Oh yeah! Come on then, how did baguettes come about? If this is gonna be someone cooked a loaf a bit wrong and said I can still make a sandwich out of it, I'm gonna hit you. Karl: No, no, no, no. no. Ricky: Go on then. Karl: Right, Napolean, when he was at war and that with erm, Russia... Ricky: 1812 yeah. Karl: All his soldiers were like you know, not used to the cold weather and that, so take some clothes in a bag with you coz its gonna be a bit nippy out there, so erm they put all their clothes in a bag... Steve: Sure. Ricky: They did what they were told, it's Napolean for christ's sake. Karl: But erm, no room for any food. Ricky: You're joking, couldn't they make some sort of sandwich? Karl: No, it wouldn't fit coz they've got all their extra clothes, they had to take extra gear, so erm anyway... Steve: I can see where this is going, i'll be honest. Ricky: Is there a baguette shaped gap left in their holdall? Karl: They thought let's make some bread that you can fit down your trouser leg. Steve: What! Ricky: (laughs) That's not true! Karl: I read it in Euston train station, I was waiting to go back to Manchester. Steve: What, scrolled on the wall in graffiti? Ricky: Yeah, was it also meet me here for cock fun at 12 o'clock?
