Tim and Alex (and Adele and Alex before them) moaned about how Jonny is so superficial, and they want more intellectual conversation. If Tim goes, Alex will have nobody to speak intelligently with about important things.

Well if Alex and Tim want to talk about important, intelligent things why don't they make a start now? All I have ever seen them do is gossip, bitch, moan, whinge, criticize and carp.

Or is that what they mean by intelligent conversation?
