::Proffers Chateau Gizzy::
So sorry to keep you waiting, Massive. We've been out to a private view followed by dinner, doncha know. Now I am enjoying a glass of wine with a dear, dear friend.
And please do not ask about the bl@@dy telly. We paid extra for bl@@dy timed delivery, and at fifteen minutes after our slot we were still standing om the doorstep, waiting to go out, and scanning the horizon for the bl@@dy van. It may, perchance, arrive on Monday.
Could I borrow Gizzy's boots for a bit of bad-tempered stomping? Would you, ahem, put in a good word for me?
