Later, in a secret location close to the Staffordshire Moorlands . . . ++++ Transcript Dated 09/05/2010 ++++
PA: I have the stiff stats from yesterday. OC: Can't you call them 'casualty reports' like everyone else? PA: Sure, whatever, but they make for a very wobbly read. OC: That's the printer, let's have a gander [pause] OC: Ah . . . I thought that we'd issued you with a Valentine tank. PA: Well we had one but the wheels fell off. OC: Still use it as a pillbox, son. PA: True - unless the O-Ring has blown in the remote hose to the main armament OC: So did you actually do anything to defend Eric? PA: Well . . . no. OC: So where is the Valentine? You don't seem to have brought it back with you. PA: I managed to fix the gas line by borrowing an O-ring from the enemy. OC: and they GAVE you one? PA: Sure. Neil was getting bored with winning and wanted more of a challenge. OC: Sporting of him. Still doesn't explain why you've come home without The Tank. PA: I let someone borrow it. OC: What?! PA: Well after I borrowed an O-ring from the enemy commander I couldn't really refuse his other half the opportunity to shoot him. OC: You let a strange woman loose with our military hardware? PA: Yep. OC: Yep? PA: Yep. She's not that strange although her boots were very cool. OC: . . . and later on she stole the tank? PA: Nah - the tank transporter broke down and I had to abandon it in enemy territory OC: Enemy territory? PA: Yeah . . . well surrey [pause] PA: which is pretty much the same thing. Phil's looking after it. OC: Is he the enemy? PA: No. He's a solicitor. OC: Surely that's pretty much the same thing? PA: No, it's just his job. OC: If a man is paid to slaughter puppies and is found knee deep in puppy entrails and juggling their little, doggy heads then it could be said that it is 'just his job' but that doesn't make it any less vile. PA: Is that a real job? OC: Probably in France. ++++ Transcript ends at this point ++++ -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
