Byron: If I was really desperate. Depends if I really needed to go.
Ollie: I don’t think you understand the question.

Would you piss on Jessie J if she was on fire?

Byron: I feel sorry for people in wheelchairs.

Would you piss on Ed Sheeran if he was on fire?
Ollie: When my friend first showed me one of his videos, I liked him. Recently people seem to hate him, and I don’t really know why. Maybe because he’s ginger? I’m not sure.
