RP and KP are brothers, with EP and LIP being their respective wives (see appendix A). Although the two couples do see each other with some regularity on similar sociable occasions, each has considerable access to uniqueness of experience (places seen, events witnessed, activities engaged in) during their respective daily rounds. Normatively, as is the case with much English sociable conversation, such experiences come to provide a routinely exploited experiential resource for sociable conversation where they may be recalled and reported to fellow participants. 'Tommy Fields' provides a clear example of such sociable talk. In the talk immediately preceding 'Tommy Fields', RP&EP have been accorded considerable conversational floor space to relay a detailed account of having visited the 'Reeperbahn'- Hamburg's infamous red light strip. As with 'Tommy Fields', this was an experience unique to one set of the participants in the sociable gathering. At the point at which we enter the talk, RP&EP have concluded their narrative by giving an account of a particularly 'rough' pub which they had visited during their night on the Reeperbahn. At this juncture, KP&LP reciprocate by initiating and developing their own experiences of a rough pub, not the same pub visited by RP&EP, nor any pub on the Reeperbahn, but one in Oldham, a provincial town approximately 20 km from the site of this particular sociable gathering. Over the ensuing talk, 'Tommy Fields' proves to provide a ripe conversational resource for the relaying of a similarly unique event and experience and allows for the invocation of a unique set of conversational selves, both as conversational players able to 253
