David Mitchell Quote

Snarling an oath from an Icelandic saga, I reclaimed my place at the head of the queue. Oy! yelled a punk rocker, with studs in his cranium. There's a fackin' queue!Never apologize, advises Lloyd George. Say it again, only this time, ruder. I know there's a 'fackin' queue'! I already queued in it once and I am going to queue in it again just because Nina Simone over there won't sell me a ruddy ticket!A colored yeti in a clip-on uniform swooped. Wassa bovver?This old man here reckons his colostomy bag entitles him to jump the queue, said the skinhead, make racist slurs about the lady of Afro-Caribbean extraction in the advance-travel window.I couldn't believe I was hearing this.
