Quotes:
"She was your bog standard old woman." - Karl on a recently deceased neighbor
"There's too much fruit about." - Karl on agricultural excess
"There was some woman in a cafe the other week that I was sat in. She sat down with a mate and was talking loudly, going on about 'Oh, the baby's lovely! It's got lovely big eyes, and really big hands and feet!' Now that doesn't sound like a nice baby to me. I felt like saying it sounds like a frog." - Karl on ugly babies
Do you think Halloween will get more popular [in the UK] if they find out ghosts are real?" - Karl during a discussion of America's obsession with Halloween
