Sorry to see Simon go. Christ knows he has put up with enough. Done a fine job in the face of adversity, perhaps the constant drip of complaints finally got to him. Maybe the hospitality industry has lost it`s gloss, in any event he has tendered his resignation according to Ned. Who incidentally, returned from Stavros Niarchos with painful knees, all that frigging in the rigging, they`re going down like flies !! Like in fact, 50% of the membership Ned has become a reliable contributor to any conversations about replacement hips knees etc., obviously can see the time coming when he will have to go under the surgeon's knife, not for the first time, although the last time was a snip compared to a replacement knee !!
Dire beer doggedly tests members patience although even there we have progress. Cellar cooling at long last becomes an issue after many years of disinterest in the subject. Management may have at last spotted a connection between it and a constant dribble of members voting with their feet !!
Bloody table keeps shaking with me laughing. Well interesting as always, what yer blog man has to say. I detect a change of course here... Turning on his own ! Ned seems to be in for the stick and BN has got off lightly, nay, scott free !
ReplyDeleteFrigging in the rigging may well not help the old articulatio genus but I have it from a reliable source it's dancing on the decks that has done for him ! Infact i think things are so bad because when rising from his courtly stool Ned now rubs his knees and doesn't pat his pockets, checking on spectacles, wallet or watch !
Well, Time and motion wait for no man. I must get to work, always with a chuckle in my heart when i think of that lot in ' That Club' ( Remember ). Good and bad, irritating and futile. And the boring boring boring subject of the undrinkable bilge water. For me ? It's over. It'll take more than a weazel storming out to convince me of any green shoots of recovery....
NO OFFENCE !
Ho! Ho! Vous etes tres amusant! (don't know how to put accents on letters)
ReplyDeleteBy the way - Niarchos not Niarkos, and its not it's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
