Me: Trevor Flinn plays the drums in his fictional punk band, The Meat Eaters - the highs and lows of their career are charted in the exhibition The Puma, The Stranger & The Mountain at Platform
You: Why are you telling me this?
Me: Well you're in the GOODS section - I'm trying to pique your interest in official Meat Eater merch - band t-shirts and fold-it-yourself sets of sheep skulls, Meat Eaters tour buses and half bricks - available at Sticky until stocks run out.
You: Half bricks?
Me: Yes its the first step towards owning your own dream home.

You: Right ok...I thought you said they were a fictional band....so they don't really exist?
Me: well they exist enough to have Official Band Mercandise. Hey you look great today by the way - you parting your hair on the other side or something?
You: What was that? Are you trying to compliment as part of of your pique-ing schtick? You were, weren't you?
Me: No I wasn't.
You: Okay I'm down with the t-shirts but I've had it with you I'm moving on.
Me: don't go!
