Tommy: Wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Dolly and Cindy who?
Bobby: Dolly Parton, Cindy Crawford.
Tommy: You’re joking?
Bobby: In Oldham.
Tommy: No
Bobby: I’m telling you. Anyway, I just relaxed a bit. I thought, no, I’m not gonna jump in here. I’m not gonna recognise ‘em. You know how you do. I’m stood there in the pub. Dolly’s in, Cindy. I thought I’ll cock a deaf’en here. So, anyway, so suddenly, yeah, Dolly turned.
Tommy: Did you duck?
Bobby: Yeah, but she got me n way back. So Dolly said to me. Hi, Barbie.
Tommy: What? What were that, a Lancashire accent that?
Bobby: American
Tommy: American, right.
Bobby: Hi, Bobby. Is there a party going on. A party? I said. Yeah. I was saying that to get her back to my place. Suddenly Cindy, who’s a nosy pig, turned around and said can I come too?
Tommy: Yeah
Bobby: I said no probs. So we had a couple. I got her back to my place. Couple of glasses of wine. And you’ll not believe this, Tommy, I ended up on my own in my flat with Dolly Parton and Cindy Crawford.
Tommy: Wait a minute. Why didn’t you give me a call?
Bobby: I did. You were out playing golf with Nick Faldo.
Tommy: Awww, forget it. Say goodnight.
