95

Oh.

96

Here we are.

97

-Sir.

-Lovely, thank you.

98

Sir.

99

-What's your name then, my darling?

-Thank you, gentlemen, thank you.

100

Thank you very much, gentlemen,

thank you.

101

You're too kind, you're too kind.

102

A special guest joins us this afternoon,

103

who's just returned from a year

in post-revolutionary Cairo

104

working as a photojournalist[A1] .

105

Our fellow lunch club member,

Tony Longdon.

106

All-Night-Longdon.

107

[laughter and applause]

108

Thank you, chaps,

it's very nice to be back, I must say.

109

Ladies, might we close the shutters[A2] ,

please?

110

[rowdy[A3]  cheering]

111

Lovely!

112

I am, as Baron says,

fresh from [A4] the streets of Cairo,

113

and I'm still trying to digest[A5] 

the hurricane[A6]  of popular uprising[A7] ,

114

violent military coup and revolution

that I have just witnessed.

115

[man] Bloody natives[A8] 

116

You all know King Farouk.

Colourful character.

117

-He owned more than a hundred cars.

-[man] Almost as much as me.

118

-Had them all painted red.

-Splendid.

119

He used to race them

through streets of Cairo,

120

shooting at any pedestrians[A9] 

who happen to get in his way.

121

-Hear, hear.

-Peasant[A10]  shoot!

122

[laughter]

123

Probably why he was forced

to abdicate last year.

124

And now, this man, Nasser,

is the name on everyone's lips[A11] .

125

He has the charisma to unite

not just his own country,

126

but the entire Arab world.

127

Stirring up [A12] anti-Western,

anti-monarchical sentiment.

128

This is Shepheard's.

129

A famous British hotel.

A symbol of colonial rule[A13] .

130

Before riots[A14] ...

131

-[man] God.

-...and after.

132

That writing. What does it say?

133

"Death to the Imperialists."

134

However, it's not all doom and gloom[A15] .

135

Mike, got something

a little special for you here.

136

[cheering]

137

[Mike] Now, that's what

I'm talking about.

138

[applause and whistling]

139

-Give him a tip[A16] .

-Don't tell my wife.

140

[laughs]

141

Good tip.

142

-Where were you today?

-Nowhere[A17] .

143

Well, clearly somewhere.

But nowhere that would interest you.

144

It's a lunch club.

145

-Where?

-Soho.

146

Oh.

147

With just men.

148

Talking about women.

149

No.

Talking about Egypt if you must know.

150

And the revolution

that's just taken place [A18] there.

151

Along with [A19] the unrest[A20]  in Croatia, Albania,

Montenegro, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Italy.

152

Please take note.

153

Yes, a little bit about the fairer sex[A21] 

over coffee and the odd brandy.

154

What do you expect?

It's a gentlemen's lunch club.

155

-So, what's the guest list for tonight?

-No one.

156

-Just you, me, Margaret and, oh, Peter.

-What? Townsend Peter?

157

-Why on earth did we have to dress up?

-She insisted.

158

She wanted to make it a special occasion[A22] .

159

With him?

Isn't that a contradiction[A23]  in terms ?

160

He's not been a naughty boy[A24] , has he?

161

I know as much as you do.
