Stricken

Perhaps I shouldn’t have… Or was it the? No, can’t have been. Can we put it down to? Yes, agreed, certainly too many of the other? Would you agree? Yes I can also confirm that, I mean, certainly that was how I seen it. Okay, well it seems things have taken a turn for the better, should we all? Yes, let’s do that. See you next time!

Gobbled his gook, that boy. Wasn’t very thoughtful with his word springs. Yes, mostly just rushed in like some Presley imitator. Mmmn, emperor’s clothes. Benign, most benign. Was he off his? Naw, no, he was only coddled from his forties. Alright, I see, took too big a spoonful, eh? That’s the man for a beggar’s job. Oho, yes, twice round the yard without a windbush, mmn hmmn. Is there a way of making our mmnn hmmns more grammatical? No there isn’t? Okay let’s just carry on then.

So ye had a big gravy chip? Thought you were up to the house sauce challenge, eh? When who should step in but Big Handsome Pete from up the road? Yes you found your level there, m’boy, that’s when we got the measure of you. If ye’d have only remained spoonfed you’d be in a very different situation now, but no, you had to go the whole hog. Tell me this, did ye ever clear the wax out of your ears? Or hear back from Granda Patterson, who ye told us was your only friend? Fell flat, m’boy, fell flat. Pondscum, that’s what they call ye. But you’ll not be hearin’ the half of it. Can ye dig a bigger hole? Can ye lift that shovel and spade and bang out a greaser? We’ll have to see. Sit yourself down there and drink water, you’ll be needin’ yer rest.
