Brian: I always wear a smart shirt.

me: ooh, get you.

Brian: And sometimes a tie.

me: now you're just showing off.

Brian: I might just be the best-dressed person in the Library.

me: so confident.

Brian: Which, given the state of some members of staff, is not difficult.

me: ooh, bitchy! you ARE a treasure, aren't you?

Brian: I used to cut quite a dashing figure, striding purposefully along the Strand Road wearing my raincoat and holding high my brolly.

me: I'm supposed to be in awe, right? Only I'm finding it very hard not to laugh.
