He has a check up every six months.

To see if he is getting better?

He's not going to get better.

But you do all those exercises with him.

Yes, to stop his muscles atrophying.

His blood pressure goes up and down?

He's constantly open to infection.

But theresmedical advances taking place all the time, right?

VIDEO OF BIRTHDAY OF WILLY THE CRAZY

there are very few people out there who can claim

they have out-Bonded James Bond.

But birthday boy Wild Willy, Will Traynor,

is certainly one of them.

Hey Will, any final thoughts, bro?

Im thinking you should be next, mate.

yeah, right!

we're all thinking it ..

Is there really nothing he can't do?

do we hate him?

- Yes.

- we do!

but there's no point dwelling on that on his birthday.

thank God, he's not good looking.

Damn it!

you're not watching French gay porn, I hope

The WiFi connections not strong enough.

What time is it?

Where Is Nathan?

half eight, had to see to another patient.

the snow got pretty bad.

shouldn't you be at home?

you're stuck with me.

Will, can I ask you something?

I suspect you're going to.

What happened?

My Mother didnt tell you?

It's her favorite story.

it was some sort of traffic accident.

motorbike.

you were riding a motorbike?

actually I wasn't.

The bike, hit me.

I am sorry.

Sorry, I'm being chatty again.

And you, you need to rest.

No.

stay.

Tell me

Tell me something good.

I used to say that to my Dad!

But if I told you what he said back, you'd think I was insane.

That ship already sailed Clark.

When had nightmares or something, he used to sing.

go on.

He used to sing the Malahonkey song.

What?

The Malahonkey song. I thought everyone knew it.

trust me Clark

I am a Malahonkey virgin.

You're gonna make me sing it now?

I willillillillished, I lillillillillived in the Malalalahonkey land

the lalalalaland where..

so I lalala L-I could plalalalalay

you're insane.

your' whole family's insane.

And you're a god awful singer.

maybe Dad was better.

I think what you mean to say is

Thank you Miss Clark, for attempting to entertain me.

okay, Clark.

Tell me something else.

something that doesn't involve singing.

- about?

- anything.

Well

When I was little

my mum got me a pair of glittery wellies

And I refused to take them off.

I wore them in bed

in the bath

all summer long.

My favorite outfit was

the glittery boots and my bumblebee tights.

bumblebee tights?

black and yellow stripes.

Oh dear God!

And I really really really liked having stripy legs.

And what happened to these gorgeous wellies

..

and the stripy tights?

ah, I outgrew them.

It broke my heart.

and they don't make those tights anymore.

At least not for grown women anyway.

strange, that?

oh, you can mock!

didn't you ever love anything that much?

yes.

Yes, I did.

MARIAN KEYES SUSHI FOR BEGINNERS

interesting choice of footwear.

Patrick says, that I make it look like a leprechaun drag queen.

he was being nice.

dont smile at me like that.

Why not?

Because I do not know what it means.

where did you pick up your exotic taste?

What do you mean by that?

it can't be from around here.

Why not?

Because this is the kind of place people come to

when they got tired of actually living.

People here believe think excitement

is a new 'please be quiet' sign going up in the library.

You should be out there,

claiming the world as your own.

showing your leprechaun shoes to dodgy men.

I like my life.

You like everything.

Im happy here.

well you shouldn't be.

You want me to be more like the girls you know, do you?

who go to London,

to marry someone like Rupert.

I believe he's taken.
