 * (JP: "But listen, more importantly, have you read your Cosmopolitan?"


 * MAH: "Haven’t looked actually, John."


 * JP: "At the 'Men We Love, as voted by Cosmo readers. They are ravishing, lever, witty, worthy and, oh, a million other things as well. Here as voted by Cosmopolitan readers is the definitive 1998 list of the 100 men you love most in the world.' And so it goes on. But at number 47? Shall I just show you? I’ll just turn at random…"


 * MAH: "Come on, give us a clue."


 * JP: "…at random to number 47. See, it doesn’t even open. Look, at number 47, it’s music-loving John Peel."


 * MAH: "Righteous victory! As voted by the Cosmo readers!"


 * JP: "Well, yes, I obviously don’t think it’s a kind of great nationwide movement, but at the same time, you know, I’m ahead of a lot of quite worthy people here. Johnny Vaughan, for example, who I quite fancy him myself, to be honest. But I’m ahead of him and David Bailey and a lot of people. Damon out of Blur, I’m ahead of him, Kevin Spacey, Matt Dillon, Mel Gibson, Dustin Hoffman, Bono, Gary Oldman – I’m ahead of all of these people, but behind people like Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama and Sting and David Beckham and Steve Coogan. But at the same time, it is astonishing. Nice to be in there, actually."


 * MAH: "John, I’ll tell you, as you know, you’ll always be number one in our hearts!")


 * RL Burnside: It's Bad You Know
 * 9 Nickel: Capricorn (12") Marine Parade
