Episode 68

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum ...

Jazzer:  Hey, Prof, Ah’ve hud an idea.

Jim:  Doesn’t sound like you, Jazzer, what on Earth happened ?

Jazzer:  Ah’ve noo realised that Ah’ve goat tae think ootside the box tae get whit Ah want.

Jim:  I’m not really sure I understand much of that statement but go ahead.

Jazzer:  Ah heard there wis a bit o’ a pairty at Grey Gables the other nicht so Ah thought oor guid sels could gie it a go.

Jim:  What, me go to Grey Gables ?  Why on earth would I patronise that den of the nouveau riche ?  They have no awareness of the richness of classical history.

Jazzer:  Ah dinnae think ye need tae pass an exam tae get in, Ah wis just thinkin o’ a drink or two.

Jim:  Can’t you invite someone else ?  It really isn’t my scene at all.

Jazzer:  Yoor the only wan Ah ken wi a suit, apart frae Alistair, an he’s no here.  He’s aff tae hae a word wi Jakob aboot somethin. He didnae look too pleased.

Jim:  Oh, all right then. Let’s go for one drink.  But we’re coming home if I’m not enjoying myself.

Jazzer:  Yur ma best pal, so ye are. An ye can tell me mair aboot yon Socrates, a rare heidbanger if ye ask me.

(later that evening at Grey Gables)

Jim:  I have to say that the standard of cocktail snacks is much better here than at The Bull and it was kind of  Oliver to welcome us with a drink on the house.  Unfortunately I’ve lost count of how many we’ve had since then but I am enjoying the experience.

Jazzer:  Wait til ye see the bill, that’ll sober ye up.  Aw naw, here’s Oliver comin and he’s no looking happy.

Jim:  For heaven’s sake, Jazzer, what have you done now ?

Jazzer:  Naethin !  Ah just asked yon cocktail waitress if she fancied some houghmagandie efter closin time.  Ah’m no sure she got ma drift.

Jim:  Well she must have found a dictionary because here comes your defenestration.

Jazzer:  Whit are ye oan aboot ?

Jim:  Yer bum’s oot the windae !

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
