No bad thing!
If Matt manages to get Justin off air I shall be delighted; if he manages to get rid of Toby as well, Iâll buy Kim Durham a lemon drizzle cake and have it delivered to the Old Vic School in Bristol. or even deliver it myself if I happen to be there in term time.
No, I donât remember that though I was listening at the time. It doesnât sound like Brian either. He can be cutting and acerbic but not petty and spiteful which is what he and Justin sounded like today.
Therâs certainly something quite attractive about him when he is indulging in dark deeds, but I couldnât disagree more that it is JustWilliamishness. I knew a Matt, or at least a Matt-in-embryo. In fact, I nearly married him. Life would certainly never have been dull⌠Not JustWilliamish at all, though, trust me on this.
Maybe Brian wasnât there, youâre right. It was just a snidey little member of the board.
Lowfield Sunday 6th June, 2010
"Matt is still being encouraging of Lilianâs business ideas. When she points out Sunday is a day of rest he gets them squeezed in at the club for an afternoon round of golf. Gerry Morton riles him briefly; âFancy seeing you here Matt, and in your own clothes. Thought youâd be in an orange jumpsuitâ. Heâll show Gerry and the rest of the backstabbing BL board; these properties are just the start."
Hmmmm. I think you may have thought William more ingenuous than I did, Gus.
(Which tried hard to be spelt âGidâ, twice. Should I worry about this?)
Oh, I didnât mean you to go and check! I just meant I didnât remember the incident at all.
I just suddenly wasnât sure whether I had imagined it, so I did a search on âgolfâ in 2010 and it was the first thing that came up. Took ooh, twenty seconds of my valuable time, that did.
I think on the whole I should worry the more, donât you?
No, I didnât think William Brown was ingenuous, at least not whenever the option of being dis-so was open to him. Hmmm. Hard to pin down.
I think he made trouble for the sake of making trouble, and that is always rather how I have thought of Matt Crawford: if it seemed like a good idea⌠Well, letâs not worry too much about consequences
Itâs the âBecause I canâ factor again.
Iâm wondering how a William would be viewed by teachers and psychs today. Probably ADHD, or in possession of a Personality Disorder.
He would be given Ritilin and âcuredâ of being a normal nuisance-boy, I should think.
I think Iâd be tempted not to use Ritilin - too expensive a drug for the Grundyâs - and try the whole family on Warfarin, first. Letâs face it. Itâs the only way we are ever going to get rid of Joe.
