Trevor and Barry Get Lucky (4)
"I followed a pie down Main Street at eleven miles an hour, and I'd do it again. After that I was asked in somewhere I've never been asked in before, and I went, which I expect I'll be hearing about. I'd rather not say any more than that. Barry was there. Barry had ham."

Trevor and Barry Get Lucky (3)
"I want it on record that I tried. I went looking for my usual luck in all the usual places, and under a ladder, twice, in front of witnesses. The lads at the café were no help whatsoever. Barry found something under a hedge. And on Fourth Street, at dusk, something started to happen that I'd seen once before, in a car park in Swindon, in 1994."

Trevor and Barry Get Lucky (2)
"Tuesday. I caught a piece of toast. I'd like it noted that I didn't mean to. After that the day carried on in a manner I can only describe as suspicious, and I spent a fair part of the morning lying underneath my own truck looking for the reason. Barry was no help. Barry was having a lovely time." - Trevor
