Following on from last week's episode...


Tuesday

Hundred and Eighteen


It's always the same Pips, it's always the same!
'....so then I went to a cashpoint to get some money out but it wouldn't accept my card although it was accepting it last week - hang on a second - George can you not chew my New York guidebook. I might want to go back there one day - sorry about that Abbie. Where was I? Oh yes and then I went to collect my trousers from the drycleaners and they've lost them'.
It happens every time!
'George no, don't bite the table leg. And then half an hour ago I turned on my computer and now its crashed'.
It's so typical, it's so TYPICAL!
'So I'm having one of those days where I run around achieving nothing - no George, put the cushion down, you'll tear it - and George is in a really destructive mood/ Oops! There's someone at the door. I'll have to go Abbie. I'll call you back. George leave the cushion alone. Let's see who's at the door....... Margaret! Hi. I haven't see you for a while. How are you?'
'I'm very well thank you Philippa but I'm sorry to say that I am a little upset at the level of noise coming from your flat yesterday evening'.
'Gosh I'm sorry..... George and I were watching the football'.
'I don't care what you were doing Philippa, you really must ensure that his barking is kept to a minimum'.
'Well... I try Margaret but he loves watching England play'.
I DO NOT LOVE WATCHING ENGLAND PLAY! THEY CAN'T EVEN PUT TOGETHER A DECENT TEAM WHEN IT MATTERS!
'Ssssh George'.
BUT YOU SAW THAT GOAL PIPS! ANY IDIOT COULD HAVE SAVED IT.
'This is exactly what I mean Philippa'.
BUNCH OF AMATEURS WHO DON'T KNOW WHICH END OF A BALL IS UP/
'Ssssh George!'
'I knew it would be a disaster for there to be a dog living in one of these flats'.
'We're fine Margaret'.
'Cooped up without enough exercise'.
'He gets enough exercise - George no, don't shake the cushion'.
But it's always the same Pips and IT MAKES ME FURIOUS, IT MAKES ME SO FURIOUS!
'George stop it! All the feathers are coming out!'
'Good Lord. I think he's gone mad'.
'No he gets like this when England don't play well'.
'Oh for goodness sake....'
