"Voom???? That parrot wouldn't voom if you put 4000 volts through
him. It's bleedin' demised... This parrot is no more. It has ceased
to be. It's expired and gone to meet his maker. It's a stiff - bereft
of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed him to the perch, it
would have been pushing up the daisies. It's off the twig. It's
shuffled off this mortal coil. It's run down the curtain and joined
the bleedin' choir invisible. It's f**king snuffed it! Vis-a-vis the
metabolic processes, it's had it's lot. All statements to the effect
that this parrot is still a going concern are henceforth inoperative.
This is an EX-parrot."
