Ruby Tuesday

"It's RUBY TUESDAY night" declared Charlie. Why do yer call it that when it's ruby murray for curry?" retorts Steve. "It's coz we 'ave it on Tuesdays that's why mate" replies Charlie. Steve shakes his head "But Charlie, we do 'ave it on Saturday nights too." Charlie laughs."Last one your ANGIE cooked, my guts felt like WILD HORSES were stampeding inside and lets say it wasn't quiet the TUMBLIN' DICE coming out the other end either." "Too much info there Charlie boy and if she hears yer say that you'll get more than a clip round the ear, bunch of fives more like. You still helping me decorate Jades bedroom this weekend? She wants us to PAINT IT BLACK" asks Steve. "Black? ain't that gonna be dark and make it feel smaller?" Charlie asks. Steve sighs "Yeah, probably, it's her space so she can have it. Not my choice but YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT even in yer own house when yer surrounded by HONKY TONK WOMEN. Anyway, gotta get this splinter out that's UNDER MY THUMB from sanding down the skirting. Sort that, grab a beer and play THE ROLLING STONES cd the Mrs got for me birthday. See ya later mate".
