The Simple Pleasures in Life

Always one to look on the bright side, Gobby felt that the adverse weather conditions of late and the ensuing technical interruption of their usual social interaction of 24 hour wall to wall television whilst awake, asleep or copulating, could only serve to deepen and enhance her relationship with Billy Idle.

It was clear that Billy too had considered this eventuality:

When the situation arose again during the crucial moments of what turned out to be Billy's beloved Tottenham's first win over Arsenal for 17 years, Gobby, 'spurred' on by this recent experience, ducked to avoid the suddenly airborne remote control, took refuge upstairs, and knowing Billy's poor maintenance record and inability to ever learn from previous mistakes or life experiences, risked life and limb, being short of stature (see Dorf the Dwarf - October 2007) and, perched on the toilet seat and at full stretch, (admittedly an unimpressive extent) cleaned the Sky dish with a bathroom towel.

The result of this feat of bravery (taking strength from the mighty Tottenham's motto 'Audere est facere' - 'To Dare Is To Do') and general advised cleaning and maintenance alleviated all threat of 'technical fault' plus Billy's impending infarction and the clever/dumb life balance in the household was, thankfully, restored.
