Quote Andy Gilder="Andy Gilder"Sorry, you'll have to speak up. I couldn't hear you over the noise of someone emptying our trophy cabinet to give them another polish.'"
A terrible joke Andrew.
1. I didn't speak, there wasn't any audio for you to hear. It's an internet message board, things are written down and read.
2. You're implying that if the cabinet wasn't being emptied that you'd be able to 'hear' me. I'm not sure if my voice could carry from a few miles away, even without taking into account traffic and other noise. Or, you're implying that we're both stood lurking by the cabinet at Headingley? Not sure.
3. You'd hope that the person charged with polishing the trophies would be more careful with them when getting them out to polish, particularly the Challenge Cup. What did they do, tip the cabinet up to get the trophies out?
4. If I was speaking that sentence, and I could see someone in the background was in the process of starting to empty the trophy cabinet without due care and attention, I'd help communication by making the action of a 'V' at you.
5. No need to apologise.
