Grandad & Sully
I had half a fish pie call on me yesterday.
Yes. Sully of Cully & Sully fame arrived on my doorstep.
He was in a bit of a state because he knew I had him over a barrel with this Google thingy where I rank higher than they do for searching “Cully and Sully”. He had come to plead with me to be nice to them.
Now, I have watched The Dragon’s Den and I knew how to go about this. I put a big pile of monopoly money on my table and then told him to persuade me with his arguments.
I made him sweat. He stood there stammering about how they had built the company from scratch and how they were dedicated and all that crap. I then said I would let him off the hook for 50% of the company. He pointed out that Cully owned the other 50%. I pointed out that it was a choice between Cully or the company.
We shook hands and signed the contract.
Poor Cully.
He then made a quick call on his mobile. I thought he was phoning Cully to say farewell, but he wasn’t…..
There was a huge noise out the front of the house. I rushed out and found a twelve-wheeler articulated lorry dumping 58 tons of ceramic bowls in my front garden.
Sully said it was part of the penalty of being a shareholder.
I tore up the contract.
They are a pair of devious toe-rags.
But I still like their fish pies.
The fish pies are fantastic. The chicken and leek pies are outstanding as well. Despite the fact that I don’t like leeks!
I have a load of those ceramic bowls here. I’ll make arrangements to ship them up to you during the week. It should bring you up to an even 60m of them 😉
Robert – Sad news from the horse’s mouth… They’re giving up the bowls!! And the 5 bed extension is only half finished.
Noooooooooooo! They come in so handy for other uses. Especially as clay pigeon substitutes to hone ones tourist hunting skills.
From now on, you’ll have to use tourists to hone your clay pigeon shooting skills…..
I’m going to start a new line of clothing. I’m going to call it, “toorist”. Whadya’ think?
It’ll be the height of trendyness. The t-shirt will be emblazoned with the company logo, a B27 sillouette pistol target, front and rear. The collared shirts will have the word Toorist printed just underneath the collar, on the back. I’ll also sell red, white and blue baseball caps with Toorist in large black letters on it.
I’ll start small and only sell them at the large international airports on the east coast before diversifing into large department stores.
Brianf – I think you could be onto a winner here. You supply the t-shirts, the toorists and the ammunition, and I’ll supply the sport. It is a win-win situation.
