Top conversations from this week.

Discussing the world cup;

- What time are Argentina playing
- Eleven o’ clock
- Eleven? That’s a strange time for a football match.
- That’s because of the time difference from Africa.
- Oh, are they playing against Africa?
- Yes, the whole continent at once (actually I didn’t say this bit, the joke would have been wasted anyway)

Early Saturday morning, the phone rings, female voice at the other end;

- Is Martin there?
- No, he’s in the prison.
- (Information digesting pause....)
- Oh. When he gets out, will he be going back to his old job?
- (another pause while Hazel engages the braincell...)
- Are you looking for a different Martin? My husband’s name is Martin, and he’s a volunteer at the prison. (Martin is quite a common name in Argentina)
- You’re not the people who sell mobile phones?
- (phew) No, sorry about that.
- No, I'm sorry to disturb you....

Did Billy Graham ever have this trouble?
