When I asked Bob for a Q, he smashed me over the head with a snooker stick. When I asked him for a T, he made me a watery cup of Earl Grey. When I asked him for and F and he swore at me, I stormed out of the studio, threatening to do the hand jive if people didnt get out of my way.
None, some or all of those things happen in this video, I promise.
