"You're back then, are you?"
"Yes, dad."
"Your mum told you what would hapen if you came back after twelve?"
"Yes. dad."
"Well, here it is."
"Fuck me, it's hot!"
"You were told."
"Look inside - people sqirming. And look at the size of that fucker! And what's that dangling off the front of him? It's all the new kids on the block."
"I am your father. I can only give it to you the way I see it. You were the one who had to treat the place like a doss-house..."
"Fucking hell! A cat just appeared and got scragged within half a second!"
"Do we understand each other?"
"Yes dad."

I'll admit I had had a few ales when this came forth.
Ah!
I got the dad bit, but your inclusion of NKOTB in this/any story threw me.
I had you pegged as the 'avoiding-any-reference-to-NKOTB-in-the admirable-hope-that-this-might negate-their-existence' type.
Toast's first comment summed it up for me. I watched the IT comedy show on the telly last night (the first episode to air in Aus) and felt confident launching into this. But then the realisation of not having a clue about what this piece was about reinforced the notion that I am still quite a way off from fully understanding English humour.
That's humour written by the English as opposed to humour written in English.
Oi!
Like i said, this was a bit esoteric coz I was on the beer, like. Don't you say "Giving some hell" as in giving them a stern talking to?
Ah yes, The IT crowd.
The guy who play Maurice is awesome.
Go onto Youtube and search on 'Darkplace'
Watch the uploaded episode 2. Pure gold.
UTR: Fear not, I was under similar diminishing evil for many a day following yet another scorching triumph at work so I was well aware of thou incapacitation. Also, I unknowingly omitted the word 'inebriated' in my previous comment.
UTMG: If it's the one that aired last night, where fires were ignited by soldering irons, the 23 digit emergency number was sung on the telly and toes were broken by ill-fitting shoes, then yeah it was a corker.
Oops! You were talking about Darkplace not IT Crowd.
I've read it several times. Chuff me, I'm lost. Here's the bits floating inside my ol' Gulliver. I may have worked it out.
12 is his age right,and he's some kind of Mormon god looking into a snow globe of spots on earth...his dad is chuffed because the boy didn't listen to mum, who incidentally wears the trousers, so he shakes the snow globe in a kind of fury. This causes the cat to go off. Clever 'eh?
Am I close?
gee and all i got was smacked with a wooden spoon or the "im so disappointed" speech.
lucky bastard.
ps.. could this blog be any more neglected?
Makes not sense does this.
