I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
Don't give The Oily One ideas!!!
ReplyDeletebon courage indeed
Believe it or not, I have been at shows where two teams of oily ones compete over a bank-holiday weekend to build a vehicle from a heap of components, and drive it around the show-ring.
ReplyDeleteOne sincerely hopes that as soon as that's been achieved, they dismantle it again into a nice, safe, pile of bits, before it can harm anyone.
