Hundred and One


'George no! I don't want to have to pick you up every time. Come on'.
Just because the 38 is a double-decker now Pips does not mean we have to go on it EVERY DAY.
'You're filthy and you'll make my new coat mucky'.
Well if you had bought the black one you wouldn't notice if it got a bit dirty/
'Come on!'
but you had to insist on buying the pale blue one.
'Quickly George. Hurry up!'
I told you to buy the black one but oh no, don't mind me/
'That's it'.
No don't pick me up!
'We'll miss the bus George'.
PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN PIPS!
'You make me so cross'.
It's a shame we have to pay every time we go on the bus these days by the way. At least with the bendy buses we could get on the back door and we didn't have to. You always did but that was your fault. You shouldn't have paid Pips. It was the least we could not do when the MP's were busy ripping us off with their expense/
'OK George I'm putting you down. Oh no, look at my new coat!'
I'm going upstairs, I'm going upstairs/
'George don't pull. You're tripping people up... I'm sorry, my dog likes to be up...'
PIPS! There's someone in our seat. There's SOMEONE SITTING IN OUR SEAT!
'Ssssh. What's the matter?... No, let's sit behind'.
'It's OK love, I'm getting off at the next stop if you want to sit here'.
Yes we do want to sit here because it's our seat isn't it Pips?
'Really? OK thanks'.
You sit there Pips and I'LL SIT HERE!
'Stop barking on the bus George'.
Why are you whispering?
'We can't always sit at the front'.
But I need to see where we're going.
'Just behave. Ooops. OW! Shit! George?... Are you OK?..... George?'


'Philippa I need to call a meeting for the whole office'.
'Right'.
'Can you find out when Jason's free and set a date? What's wrong with the sickbag this morning? Not like him to be asleep in his basket'.
'We were coming in on the bus and we were sitting on the top at the front and it stopped suddenly and/'
'Oh no don't tell me. The sickbag was thrown forward and smacked into the glass!'
'Well it wasn't/'
'Hey sickbag! Did you end up on the floor? Fantastic! I can see it now. It's probably his favourite seat too. Top front - so he can see what's going on - and you're cruising along nicely and suddenly.... WHAM!'
'No it/'
'No wonder his nose is looking a bit put out of joint. Probably is'.
'Really? Does it...?'
'Yeah. It's got a kink to the right'.
'Has it?'
'Yeah. Can't you see it?'
'Not....'.
'Yeah it goes straight and then sort of turns right'.
'I can't.../'.
'Well, love is blind as they say. Anyway so can we set a date for this meeting sometime in the next couple of weeks?'
'What's it about? Does Jason...?'
'Restructuring'.
'Oh'.
'Of the company. Not the sickbag's nose!'
Very fuddy Sibod. I ab dot asleep ad by dose is a bit dumb that is all. Ad you can't restructure a combady that has ndo structure in the first place you tosser.
