Ricky's "difficulties" with speech may mean he never gets more than a bronze at the Sony's but it has it's advantages when it comes to his boxing career, as he doesn't need to worry about slurring his speech after a vicious beating.

Quotes

Karl: Well, let's do the jellyfish first, then we'll move on to the Scousers.

Karl: There's really fancy stuff and you think "They've killed that and it looks good on the counter, pretty impressive. But is anyone gonna buy it?" Do you know what I mean? It's like a big shark set in ice. And you go "Yeah they've got a lot of fish for sale..."
Ricky: You sure you weren't going around to the Tate Gallery?

Karl: The Web is the new book though, innit?

Ricky: Why do you want to confuse machines? Do you remember when he put in "why" to a computer search engine to try to confuse it. I want the computer to come back "why not" and your head explode.

Karl: We did get a bronze. But this year, we introduced Rockbusters... things will be changin'.

Ricky: For a simple man, you retain an awful lot of knowledge. It's just all rubbish. If you just replace all this rubbish with good stuff, you'd be an intellectual really. Because your retention is fantastic.
Karl Yea.
Ricky: Did I lose you there, did I?

Rockbusters

You've been dunking that for too long. L.B.
You wont be able to play that game in this pub, cos the table aint big enough. F.D.
Well, I've had a rubbish day, so I'm glad it's over. G.K.

Trivia

Steve's anecdote about the guy with the tattoo of a "lady vampire having a shower" was direct inspiration for Snork's tattoo in Cemetery Junction.
