For the first time in his recollection, Brian was truly irritated with Pepper -- not just miffed because she ate the last sausage before he did or poked him in the eye, but frustrated. He was talking.

"I am talking!" he shouted back. "You got no manners, Pepper!" He stuck his tongue out at her and waggled it furiously. Now, what songs did Pepper really dislike? . . .

Eh, he wasn't really that vindictive. Go with the Stones. You cannot go wrong with the Stones.

"Sorry about her, mate," he said to Wensley, banging his way into 'Get Off Of My Cloud'. "I'll have to do something about her one of these days." He did hope Wens would hang about some more.
