Prove to me this works and I'll take an interest, as many others

No thanks. The alternative is a much better offer. Or are you so dense
you can't tell I am taking the ****?

Nice try, but if you really are taking the **** then why do you get so
upset when people take the **** out of you?

Surely, you are not going to add hypocrite to your personal image?

I don't mind the occasional snide comment or even the dross you
continually spout in my direction. However, his repetitiousness is not
just uninspired but tiresome.

Not that I bother about it over-much. It's just soul destroying that
no one worth a damn has had a quiet word. I suppose one might count
Tudor. Does anyone count Tudor?

It reminds me of a fool I once lent a few shilling to, as we always
stopped for pies on the way to work and he was always broke. He never
paid me back but I heard him jingling coins in his pocket one day and
so I asked him about it.

The upshot was that I waited in the queue until he was handing his
money over, then I took it off him. Rather than face me, outside where
I was waiting, he said he was going to tell on me when we got back.

Well I laughed but he repeated the threat on the way home. I couldn't
believe a grown man would behave like that and blow me but he went
into the office to tell on me. And nobody stopped him.

What really upset me was that we were working with a gang of lads and
none of them was kind enough to tell him not to be so silly. I felt
embarrassed for him afterwards as the story got around.

You see, he still had to come to work with us and everyone looking at
him.

I feel sort of the same way about Dawlish. But since he's enjoying
himself, I see no reason not to let him have his head. I'll even
supply the plate to put it on if he really wants.

When all said and done, it's not up to me, however much I am going to
regret my part in it.

Be that as it may.

I think that Halong -or some as yet to be storm, will make a Cat 2 out
of that. A high Cat 1 at least. Maybe it will be more tornadoes in the
USA instead but it will be a storm.

The further north these things turn out to be, the less power they
hold of course but then that could well be because there are so many
more of them up here than near the tropics.

They bake 'em we take 'em as it were.
