135
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 6: been on there for a while now. One hundred and

136
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 6: nineteen rolls that fitsy and whipper toilet paper roll with

137
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 6: trading nicknames.

138
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: I think with the position that novas in it. At

139
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: the moment they handed them out to every employee as

140
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: a Christmas bonus. But for some reason they made their

141
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: way back to our office, tom didn't they Yeah?

142
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they were handed back by a lot

143
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 6: of stuff.

144
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, it's quite a thick toilet paper it is.

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 6: It's quite rough.

146
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is rough for sensitive areas. I find it

147
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: quite aggressive.

148
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: Also see that we've got one hundred and sixty six

149
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880

Speaker 8: No.

154
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: Well, the idea was that if you and out of

155
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: the toilet paper, then you were going to get the flies,

156
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 4: so they were expected to give away after the rolls.

Speaker 4: Can I what I wanted to do, Tommy, Just to

158
