The Cockroach: I think it's good to work because you get dignity from it and I've done all kinds, I've worked in a hotel, I worked in this hotel in Tinmouth and I'd be there at night, I'd work on the desk, I'd help in the kitchen but I also cleaned toilets. I mean why not? I like different roles and it just means I can channel the madness in different areas.

It has a property that nothing else has which is a form of quantum coherence. But water seems to have, the quantum coherence field moves outside the molecule and the water can be seen to be acting as a whole and this is extraordinarily unusual.

Gary the Slug: There is a shrub that I do like actually and it's the Burning Bush, have you ever seen one?
Nigel the Slug: The burning bush.
Gary the Slug: It's called a burning bush.
Nigel the Slug: A burning bush.
Gary the Slug: A burning bush it's called, and basically it goes green and when it dies, it goes to die off it goes completely brilliant red. That's why they call it a burning bush 'cause actually it goes from a nice dark green to a real burning red. And that's called the burning bush. It just goes to, like, branches, in little branches and then it goes green and then goes all over it again but the tree never goes away, it stays there all the time, so it's a bush that's there, well I should say a shrub, as well as a bush what is there all year round.
