MacPhisto: [sings] "And they're all there to meet me... hair like gold..." MacPhisto: "I love that one. How many of you are called Evans here tonight?" [several cheers and shouts from the crowd] MacPhisto: "And I thought The Edge was such a special name! Can I just introduce you to my guitar player – this is, after all, his home away from home." Crowd: [lengthy applause] MacPhisto: "I must say I love to be up here, and Wales is so generous, I just love this place, it's... I love to go shopping here, actually. I like to shop in Cardiff. I have a friend who likes to come shopping in Cardiff. She actually grew up in a sh-- grocer's, actually, in England, and later when she became the Prime Minister..." [Woman in crowd: "I knew it."] MacPhisto: "...she... she got very good at shopping." Crowd: [boo] MacPhisto: [offended] "This is a friend of mine you're talking about! She had a wonderful idea, actually – she decided to run the whole kingdom like a shop, and she put on a sale." Crowd: [laughter and applause] MacPhisto: "And she sold the railways, and she sold the coal industry, and she sold the water, and she sold... What a great shopper – Lady Thatcher!" Crowd: [boo] MacPhisto: "I know you love her. Shall I give her a telephone call?" Crowd: "Yeah!" MacPhisto: "I do miss the old girl, don't you?" [Woman in crowd: "Bloody old bitch!!"] [dials] MacPhisto: "It-- it's not local." Crowd: [laughter] MacPhisto: [sings to the tune of 'Getting To Know You'] "La-la-la laaa ta-daaa..." Woman: [sounds like "Telephone number, good evening."] MacPhisto: "Hello, is that the House of Commons?" Woman: [sounds like "It is, speaking."] MacPhisto: "Hello, I'd like to speak to Lady Thatcher, please." Woman: "Well, I am sorry, but the House is in the summer recess at the moment – you'll have to write in to the, uh, Lords or Baronesses at the moment. You have to write to them." Crowd: [boo] Woman: "The House isn't sitting until October." MacPhisto: [laughs] "I, I understand – um, no, you think I'm an ordinary person! I, I actually know her personally." Woman: "You know her personally." MacPhisto: "Yes. My name is Mr MacPhisto." Woman: "Yes." MacPhisto: "Um... I was just wanting to know-- I wanted to let her know where I was. I'm in a place called Cardiff – I was wondering, had she heard of it?" Crowd: [cheer] Woman: [drowned out by crowd noise] MacPhisto: "Yes." Woman: "Well I think so, yes. But the thing is, you see, we can't get in contact with her. You have to write a letter to her, here at the House. We can't contact her during the recess." Crowd: [boo] MacPhisto: "I'm sure she'd be very upset. Um, could I leave her a message?" Woman: "Well, as I say, the House is in the recess, so you can only post it." MacPhisto: "I just wanted to say that..." MacPhisto: [sings] "I just called to say I love you... I just called to say how much I care..." [Ultra Violet begins] |
