Deidre.

 

I read it as, you are blathering about him, so Deidre was wondering if she could get Kev back for a knee trembler. Please don't tell me it's me, I ain't had a drink yet.

Me as well, but owning a (otherwise excellent) yankee stump grinder (Rayco) and realizing that none of my  nuts/bolts will replace the ones that fall out because they still use a medieval system of measurement changed my mind.
