A little bit of wishful thinking, perhaps, on the part of several journalists.

*leans back and holds up hands*

What? Nothing.

Are you sure you're feeling alright? You know the Daily Mail's always been a bit left wing. Same as The Telegraph and the Daily Express.

Stop it, Peter, come on. What've you done? Glamour charm on the headlines? Swapped the title and names with that of The Guardian? What?

The Guardian? Oh come off it, you know I don't keep that sort of Tory drivel in my house.

Peter, stop taking the mick. Next you'll be telling The Times doesn't have a paywall on their website but that The Independent does!

*tilts head*

*gets up out of chair*

I'm getting you a thermometer. Just last week you were complaining that you couldn't read exactly what The Independent was saying about you that was so scathing that they referenced it in Question Time without, and I quote, "having to pay the scoundrels hand over fist to read something that probably isn't true and would have been banned in a country with decently effective libel laws anyway!" You went on about it for hours.

Peter this is just getting silly now. C'mon, how did you do it? It's very convincing, I must say.

Back in a moment.

*wanders off into kitchen*
*returns with thermometer and a sheaf of papers*

I was going to recycle these, but you may as well have a look.

See, here's the FT with a special on the failings of neo-liberalism, the Telegraph, the Times and the News of the World. I think I might even have a copy of the Tribune from when you last visited...

*digs around in the sheaf*

Ah, there it is. Anyway.

*takes out thermometer*

Here. Stick it under your tongue and hold it there for 10 seconds.

This is going a bit far, Peter; the Daily Mail I can understand but all of these faked newspapers? That's just taking it t-

Mrpphhlll!

*fiddles with phone*
*glances up*
*glances down*

Do you want me to... *muffled snigger* ...to call for a taxi? I really don't think you ought to be teleporting in your condition.

Despite all signs to the contrary, you appear to be thoroughly normal.

Of course I'm normal! You're just trying to play some sort of trick on me and it's clearly failed. Really, Peter, you do need to come up with better pranks than this, I must say.

*sigh*

John, there are a stack of papers knee deep which would suggest otherwise.

You really must have been bored to do that many of them.

Anyway, I should probably get back before Sally relegates me to the sofa for some reason. I'll talk to you later, undoubtedly.

Possibly

I've warned her that you're likely to be even more irrational than usual.

Goodnight, Peter.
