John has box 21 today. Noel asks if there is a touch of the Japanese in his family as he bows lots of times while taking the walk of wealth!! John is a retired driving instructor and Noel says he bets there are lots of amusing tales to tell, John then starts a story that doesn't really have any point to it! Noel asks if there is anything exciting or amusing in his life, and John replies no not really! Noel then says lets make this one of the most exciting things that has ever happened to you!
