In _homage_ to Greg Davies

[@kevinw712]

"Very well. Okay then Alex, I shall require some assistance. I want you to locate Greg Davies as soon as possible, shouldn't be a problem, just follow the smell of the largest pastry trolley there is in London. Put a phone in his hand with Skype already turned on, as I'm sure he won't know what the fuck he's doing with it, and make sure he frames himself in landscape mode. The rotund misshapen mound he calls a body will never properly fit in portrait mode to see him as we'll need to. And then... let's see we only had twenty minutes to accomplish the task, right, so... yeah, by then he's settled and ready, tell him to begin performing his so called 'standup comedy' act, and barely five minutes should be plenty to convince the audience he's suffered a shameful and humiliating death. Oh and, my condolences Mrs. Davies. Cheers, Alex!" --Rhod Gilbert
