ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE DOOR

Well the Westcoastmess promised to do a good write up of Dazzler's Eat My Shorts alleycat but almost a week later and still no sign of anything on the site. I decided to give him a call to find out what went on and, even though this exposes the dysfunctional nature of the H.O.P. organisation I've decided to print the whole of the conversation verbatim:

Obergruppenpistard: Hey, Xander I'm just calling to find out how the alleycat went?
Westcoastmess: Aye, it was really good there was about 23 racers and they got plenty of cash for the L.C.E.F. I've just not had a spare minute to do a write up.
OP: Well I'm recording this conversation so why don't you just tell me over the phone and we'll put that on the site.
[ pause followed by the sound of a computer booting up ]
WC: Okay then ...um ...right ...well I got there a bit late and everyone was already hanging about waiting for the race to start. I saw someone, maybe Keith, talking to a bored looking Agata, Herbal Gerbil was there, as was Nhatt. Some people had made an effort and turned up on their nice bikes, there was a blingin' Colnago and a nice blue something that was only spoiled by riserbars...
OP: Woah,woah! Hang on a minute there. Are you just looking at Selimski's Flikr photos and saying what you see?
WC: No don't be stupid, I was there. I nearly raced but I was riding my 'going to the shops' gear ratio instead of my 'street racing' one so I thought it would be pointless to even try being competitive.
OP: Hmm. Okay go on then. But the next thing you say better not be something about Vojtech helping Muna fix a puncture.
WC: ...
OP: You weren't there were you?
WC: Um, no I got caught up doing something else and before I knew it I'd missed the start. In my defence it was won by Overdrive who was one of my tips so any gamblers that read this blog should be happy.
OP: Right, this is officially your last warning, one decent story about a bus driver is not going to cut the mustard, either you start coming up with some decent input or you'll be busted back down to where you belong: the comments section on Moving Target. And as for getting 'caught up doing something else' you will never find Osama Bin Laden's cave on Google Earth so you may as well give it up now. Got that?
[ muffled swearing followed by the line going dead ]
