Phone’s ringing, where’s it gone? Ah, there it is … hello…

Hi, Ron, it’s me!

Oh, hi John.

Where are you going for Christmas Ron?

Gone John.

Gone already?

No, going … going to Gone.

You sound like an auctioneer Ron! Seriously, where are you going?

I told you John, Gone.

Right, start again. Where …  are … you … going  … for … Christmas?

Like … I … said… Gone!

Okay Ron, can I speak to Con?

Con’s already gone, John.

Wondering if she had any of those thingamajigs left.

Sorry, all gone John … hello … hello… oh, now John’s gone.

    Just as well Ron wasn’t standing next to John or he’s have been a goner.
    That’s a tour de force, Keith.

    Morecambe and Wise would have loved your Gone, so did I

      Compliments don’t come much greater than that! Thanks, Michael.

    One sec, so Con’s gone to Gone, and Ron’s going to Gone… maybe John should go to Gone too . Then they’ll all be gone to Gone 🙂

    Hahaha. Good one Keith! John should be gone too.
