A polite telephone conversation

May 30, 2006

Ring Ring.

I’m doing up my laces at the gym so I answer it on speakerphone.

“Hello?”

“Hi, it’s me. Look, I know you’re at the gym so I’ll be quick, I’m at the garage, the Jeep we wanted has gone, but there’s another one in stock, almost new, and it’s only £5,000 more. Should I just get it? I know it’s a bit more than our budget, but it’s got all the add-ons and you said you’ve always wanted a nice big 4×4, so whaddya reckon, shall I just buy it anyway?”

“Go for it”

“And I’ve invited my mother to stay for the weekend, that OK?”

“Sure”

“Thanks honey, I love you, I’ll see you back at the house later”

I hang up, smiling, and turn to the others in the changing room at the gym.  They look at me somewhat strangely, so I ask them,

“Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”

This is a lesson for you all. Don’t leave your mobiles unattended, otherwise some spiteful bastard like me will take full advantage.

I hope he enjoys his weekend with the Mother-In-Law.

Thank goodness for that. I thought you were going to buy a 4×4 for a moment.

Nice one.

I thought there was an affair going on you hadn’t told us about! Then, what’s £5000 between strangers?

Oli – Indeed I am.

RD – No chance, they’re for toffs and school run mommies.

BoT – An affair? I bloody wish…

5 grand extra….. is a lot of a 4×4 cause they are even more expensive in gas and insurance.
