Pic 1,

Bloke on the right: "I'm not really imposing on the shot...am I, chaps?"

Pic 2,

Bloke on the left: "Your shaving and washing water, sir. Oh, and don't concern yourself about the colouration, I can assure you it's quite natural and around normal body temperature, too."

Pic 3,

Bloke on the left: "Drop short...casualties, you say! Well, zero alpha, can't take your call right now...can you call back later, please."

Bloke - OA - on the right: "Yes...yes, fifty-quid on Nigerian hacker, in the four o'clock at Aintree."
