Paul: Ooo, did you see this one? I think I’ll call it a Compact Group.
Colleague: Oops! Oh! Oh, geez!
Paul: What?
Colleague: Oh, I … geez, Paul, I …
Paul: What did you do?
Colleague: Well, I … I’m afraid I’ve … spilt something on it … a bit …
Paul: But I’ve only just discovered it.
Colleague: Yes. Yes, I know. Listen, I … I feel really bad about this.
Paul: Bad? You feel bad about it? A brand new Compact Group and you you’ve already gone and ruined it!
Colleague: Yes, I know, and I feel absolutely rotten about it, but I’ll make it up to you.
Paul: Make it up to me? How on earth are you going to make it up to me?
Colleague: Well, I … I’ll let you have one of my jelly babies.
Paul: One? Just one? There are three distinct galaxies in that Compact Group.
Gawd, I need to go to bed.
