And they wonder why!

Yes mate, we will be in Australia for a week near Christmas.  Just the two of us, haven’t worked out what the children are doing yet.  Can’t turn up to stay with some people with three kids for a week. Yes just back from Amsterdam, at the Edinburgh train station.  Great to talk with you.  Yeah will let you know, but wanted to give you a heads up about that week away so that you can put it in your schedule.

Doesn’t matter what happens I have just bought the best beach house on the best beach in the UK.  

Aside to the barista….what’s that, yes a cappuccino. 

The barista says, that will be GBP3 sir,  sir,  sir!!

So I will be in touch, let you know what is happening.  Oh what are you doing for Christmas?  Yes we are all going to northern Scotland, have just heard about a shoot.  Don’t know the full details but I’ll let you know.  We could organise something.  Should be big. Open house.  Yeah well speak then, see if you can make it.

To the barista, is that mine?

Hi mate.  Dined on the Royal Yacht Britannia last night, yeah yeah, sat next to a friend of yours from the old XXXXX rugby days.  Spoke very highly of you.  So how’s the season, is XXXXX playing this weekend?  How’s his form.  So no money on it then.  What do you know? Yeah I am at the train station heading home to my babies.  Yeah, haven’t exchanged yet but have just bought the best beach house on the best beach in the United Kingdom, and I have the best knee board you can buy.  Life doesn’t get much better does it?  I am up to my eyeballs in silver, enough to live on forever, life is as good as it can get.  What’s that?  Yeah okay okay speak soon.

Just calling to ask about the dishes.  Yeah yeah, we wanted a dozen of each. Full score.  Maybe just ship them out, we will be there!!

And so the whole train station at Edinburgh Waverley had to sit through this man’s phone calls at the top of his voice.  No comprehension at all of the people around him, holding up the coffee line, of people rolling their eyes, of people avoiding him, even the people he was speaking with on the phone obviously closing the conversation quickly, almost autistic in his lack of empathy.  So very very full of himself and all his fantastic possessions and pursuits. 

Here’s hoping the price of silver tanks, huh!! And he again becomes part of the 99%ers.
