After a long, eventful discussion over the table in the teak door boardroom, myself and Captain Sensible have come to the agreement that we'll be, from now on, working alongside one another rather than against eachother. This new treaty is the result of many weeks of discussions and spats which have plagued our relationship.
And after a few games of 9-ball at After work over bangers and mash (which was awful btw, don't ever order that) we have come to the conclusion that a physical fight would not have been feasable (the captain's about the size of a dinosaur) due to our age difference and the fact that if the captain did connect cleanly with a wild swing, then it would be lights out, even for a large bloke like Marmite the dog or Wally. And anyway my arms are far too short to get him into a decent nelson hold so peace seems to be the best option.
So, in other words, I'm back (hic) so please be gentle.
