MINDERS 210

Minders 210 Smokey: So how much longer do we have to wait for this launch? Agatha: Bernadette, your crew, should be here in five minutes – the yacht is about four miles away. Fei: Don’t be so impatient Smokey – what’s a few minutes in a week’s holiday? Smokey: Quite a long time when your ass is perched on this cold bollard thing. Agatha: That’s a mooring post Smokey – they weren’t designed to be sat on. Fei: You could always stand up – or sit on your case. Smokey: Hmmmph! Bernadette: Hi Agatha – that’s my week’s charter guests I assume? Agatha: Yes, ready and waiting for you. Bernadette: Let’s get the luggage loaded then and I’ll get them to the yacht. Fei: That’s a very smart launch – looks almost big enough for the holiday! Agatha: Wait till you see the yacht! Smokey: (thinks) Guess I’m carrying my own case then …… Fei: So what do you think now Smokey? Smokey: It’s a lot better than I feared when I saw that rusty old tub moored at the pier. Bernadette: Sea’s pretty flat today so it shouldn’t take long. Smokey: (thinks) That girl’s got a mighty pair of lungs!
