Karl gets stick from Ricky and Steve for being off for 3 weeks. Karl can only remember being out sick twice, once when it was windy. [[Karl's Mam]] didn't want him to get blown into the road. Karl's school gave out a certificate if you did a full week which he missed because of a windy Friday. He had to stay late on Monday with a teacher as a punishment, but he loved it because she had to stay too. | Karl gets stick from Ricky and Steve for being off for 3 weeks.

Steve is a new member of Karl's pub quiz team, but is trying for a coup. Karl is like Alex Ferguson. He got (only) the Dannii Minogue question correct. The team weaknesses are Natural History and Science, Ricky's expert subjects. The quiz costs a tenner and Steve is not made of money. Karl's got a lot on his mind, namely his interaction with the little gay fella in the toilet. Karl thinks gay men should have their own cubicle or toilet. Women leave the door open in the toilet. The first time Karl "saw a woman" was [[Auntie Nora]] in her caftan. The birth of the ripped/split tennis ball image. | Steve is a new member of Karl's pub quiz team, but is trying for a coup.

Quotes
Karl: What I've done is, taken a popular saying from the show, something that crops up quite a lot in the show. The first thing that sprang to mind was 'There's this hairy Chinese kid'...
Karl: I mean, Steve always does this, whenever I come up with an idea.
Ricky: .. Karl said to me, 'It's a wonder The Office ever got on telly'.
Steve: Yeah, but, we shall see how Cheap as Chimps plays out.
Ricky: Karl, when was the last time Steve wrestled you to the ground and got you in a leg clamp?
Ricky: I love the fact that the normal bit of that is the well known phrase 'There's this hairy Chinese kid'. Like, nothing happened there. That's normal.
(On The Elephant Man)
Karl: It's just really, really sad...
Ricky: You give him a bun and he forgets it.
Steve: [slight pause] He never forgets, Rick.
(Ricky in fits of laughter)
