"Look, Mum! I've caught a Walrus! Can I keep it in my paddling pool at home?"

"No you can't! Remember what happened to your goldfish when the cat got it? We can't flush the remains of a Walrus down the loo!"

"Oh! Its a song I've just thought of, I'm calling it 'Hanging Around'. When this is all over, I'm starting a band. I haven't thought of a name... but you've just given me an idea."
