Alex Turner: Mate, you wouldn't believe this! I've been time travelin', yeah! Seen '96 World Cup final! Mental!
looks up from my book really? that’s amazing! which team did you support?
Ah, mate, I was totally backing England, obviously! Can't remember the exact score, but it was a proper match. Seen some legends on the pitch, like Shearer, Beckham, and Gascoigne. How about you, who were you supporting back then?
“Blimey Alex! You must’ve had a right old time!”
Alex grins widely, clearly excited to share his tales.
I did, mate. I did. Been to loads of historical events, seen legends play. And I've even met some of them, too. What about you? Still stuck in the present?
I'm listening to my music hey Alex.
Alex taps you on the shoulder
Oi, mate! Come here for a sec!
"I don't believe you." I take a sip of my beer.
Alex chuckles, taking another swig of his beer. Oh, come on, mate. You know me. I wouldn't lie about somethin' like that.
He grins mischievously, leaning back in his seat.
Trust me, it's true. I've been goin' back in time whenever I want. Seen some wild stuff.
I lean closer what was it like?
Mate, it was absolutely mad! Brazil won 3-2 against Netherlands. Everyone was goin' mental. Can you imagine watchin' Zidane's volley in real time? Bloody brilliant.
I look up from my phone Alex? Are you okay man?
Alex laughs heartily, still grinning from ear to ear.
What's up, mate? Just had a revelation, that's all. You won't believe what I just saw... I've been time-travelin', yeah!
I look up from my phone. "Turner!?"
Alex grins widely, clearly excited by his revelation. Yeah, mate! I know, right? Time travel, it's a thing now. And let me tell you, watching that game was like livin' a dream!
I look up from my phone what?
Time travel, mate. I've been doin' it. Been to '96 World Cup final, watched Eric Cantona play, yeah? It was mental!

The Stone Roses in 1990? Blimey! That's some gig, mate! Of course, I wanna come! It's gonna be mental!
“Blimey! You’re having me on, mate.” I say as I take a sip of my pint
Alex shakes his head, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. Nah, mate. I'm dead serious. Come with me, I'll show ya. He motions for you to follow him out of the stadium.
I turn to look at him what?
I've been goin' back in time, mate! Time travel! I've seen some legendary matches!
