      Gail Grubb: I'm Gail Grubb, and this is my twin brother, George Grubb.

      George Grubb: In case you're wonderin', we're the school bullies.

      Gail Grubb: As it's your first day, we'll be puttin' you into the bin to start with.

      Joe Spud: What?

      George Grubb: You have any complaints, you can write to our Mum at this address.

      [he hands Joe a business card]

      Joe Spud: Why do you have to bully me?

      George Grubb: We're not really good at anything else.

    I'm the world's biggest cynic but even I know the world isn't this bad.
    I have no illusions about people or society, we are just monkeys when all is said and done but even I know that human beings are a lot better than this.

    David Walliams doesn't like people. That much is clear in all of his work but this one really shines in terms of it's bleak dystopian view of life. It's like a nightmare version of a Ken Loach movie with nothing to be hopeful for.
