The comedy adventures of Crabtree and Evil-Eye
One of my friends has started referring to us as "Crabtree & Evil-Eye".. seeming to think from the blogs its an accurate description of us. Myself being Evil-Eye on the grounds that since leaving the UK I've become evil. Well... evil-er. Citing such evidence as attempting to kill pensioners crossing roads etc.
I'm actually getting significantly worse, driving out of the place where we live today I swerved to hit some pedestrians and missed, and then declared they were "terribly vile people". I'm sure they're alright, I think I've lost the ability to at least be civil to complete strangers.
I think I scared our belgian colleague and friend from the UK when we were in cheesecake factory as well.. after being asked how everything was, I scowled at the dinner table and said "yes". This caused much tittering in Crabtree as he seems to find my decline in patience and tolerance for the natives to be very funny.
My upance seems to have come though. Since the arrival of our overseers from back home the weather here has turned to sludge, along with our motivation, hapiness and my general enthusiasm. As predicted not much of the work we've done here seems to have impressed (though everyone else is VERY happy with our progress).
Also we've had to change the hire car because of Avis policy. Given up our mediocre Chevy Malibu and now have a truly truly truly DIRE Buick LeSabre. Car seems to have been sponsored by rowntree.. Jelly suspension, Jelly brakes.... its ghastly. It should come with a free
pack of sea sickness medication to compensate for the wallowing and sloping about it does. Pathetic car.. it's got a massive 3.8 litre V8, yet they've only managed to squeaze 195bhp out of it. Feeble!! This is apparantly a "premium", two grades higher than the Malibu because its got digital radio. Great. 250 channels of country and western, bible bashing and gregorian chant. I've found 5 decent stations so far.
If the weather clears up after our visitors leave im going to phone the catholic church and inform them I've found the anti-christ...
