He 's in Peterborough now and Peterborough is filled with, for lack of a better word, the hicks or whatever. Okay and um so they had friend over and they were actually really nice, they were nice, but then I noticed that she would say certain things like, "I got no" or she actually said to her boyfriend it was something like, "Watch your mouth or I 'll box your face in" and I was like "Woah!
