Episode 84

🎼  Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Jazzer:  In the name o the wee man, Alistair, whit’s happened tae ye ?  Ye’re hobbling intae the hoose like an auld man.

Alistair:  I’m lucky that I can hobble instead of having surgery to reconnect certain parts of my anatomy.

Jazzer:  Aw naw, ye huvnae done yersel an injury in the crown jools ?

Alistair:  Got it in one.  Tony asked me to go round to Bridge Farm to have a look at his Angus bull, Big Boy.  He’s been very enthusiastic in his marital duties recently after the drugs he’s been taking and ...

Jazzer:  Who, Tony ?  Doesnae look the type tae me.

Alistair:  Not Tony, the bull you idiot!

Jazzer:  Okay, okay but Ah wid need some kind o drug afore Ah went joustin wi yon Pat - she’s a scary wumman.

Alistair:  Please don’t make me laugh, Jazzer.  I’m in a lot of pain because a bull just kicked me in the bollocks.  There’s no way I’ll be stripping next week.

Jazzer:  Aw come oan.  Are ye a man or a moose ?  Ah’ve seen worse at closin time on a Saturday night on Sauchiehall Street.  Thae wummen can gie ye a right batterin.

Alistair:  Look Jazzer, even if I could walk properly by then the bruising is going to be pretty awful.  Not a pretty sight to see.

Jazzer:  Fair enough, but whit are we gonnae dae ?  Peggy’s sold o’er a hunner tickets, Ah’m startin a new career and Lilian’s gonnae make so much cash she’ll let me back in The Bull fur good.

Alistair:  Now don’t panic, Jazzer. I’ve been thinking about that inbetween the waves of pain.  Who’s the fittest young bloke in the village - young, handsome, muscled ?

Jazzer:  Apart frae me ?

Alistair:  Of course, apart from you.

Jazzer:  Has tae be Christopher Carter.  Years o wrestlin wi horses an bangin nails intae their hooves huv given him some muscles an he’s nae bad lookin.

Alistair:  Exactly and I’m sure I can persuade him to take my place.  Alice’s drinking is getting out of hand and she might just pay him a bit more attention if he’s a Beast of Ambridge.

Jazzer:  That wid be great.

Alistair:  But there’s one condition.

Jazzer:  Oh aye ?

Alistair:  I still get my cut of the lemon drizzle.
