"Thank you, for the bit about the lying. I won't tell you it's all right because 'it's not right to fib' and all that but I understand. Let me tell you something about gremlins. They're hardy. They're not stupid and in a show down between the admins and the gremlins I'm putting my money on the gremlins. Still, it's good of you and the others to take up for them and I really admire your mindset in this, given the havoc grelmins can cause." Wilson winced thinking of a few of his gremlin bite cases.

"I'm not saying all day, I'm not even saying you have to nap. Just try to get to bed at a reasonable hour, sit down for your meals and for just brief periods through the day. You can start right now. How about some tea and ooooh let me think what have I got...oh an orange. How about some tea and an orange?"
