Semi-quavers not allowed, so it is a tie!

I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and a eccentric bear He is a great British institution and emits great wisdom with every growl. Of course I have Paddington at home, he is a member of the family, sure he is from the moment he was born. We have adopted him.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

So you pick #4 1st with #8 2nd. Nice to get all four numbers in there.  ;)
