Gotcha at last, me ol' mucker! |
Hi all, Raggety here.
Good news! My good friend and colleague (and the subject of
this very blog) Kevin Chesham, will be returning to England in the next few weeks, for
a prolonged business and pleasure trip.
Kev will largely be staying with me in Boscombe, as we have
a major company reshuffle to oversee together, including operations across the
UAE and beyond. He will be joined by many of my other top ranking staff, for an
intensive couple of months. But it won’t be all work and no play. Although
there might be a bit of rough and tumble involved, you know how these business
things go sometimes! But on the plus side Kev will have plenty of time to
deserve a well deserved holiday by the sea, and still have plenty of time for
recreation such as racing, cycling and running! Not that Kev needs to get any
fitter; he’s a wall of muscle now, with all the training he has just completed
in Dubai. I
know that our cold and dismal beaches are nothing compared to the glorious
waterfront tracks which Kev enjoys every morning over there, but they do have
their own unique charms and attractions. And scenery! I mean, all those
picturesque clifftops for one thing, and the blissful fresh sea air and silence
when no one else is around, and all one can hear is one’s own thoughts…
Kev has got loads of things to be getting on with on the
personal front while he is here, including retrieving boxes of letters and
memory sticks from storage, as well as catching up with old friends of course. The
training schedule here will not be slack, and has to factored in around
meetings and conference calls. Indeed, as a team exercise we all run along the
south coast each day, favouring one particular route for our morning run along
the Overcliff Drive.
Well this route came up in conversation with Kev today and
so I asked Kev his thoughts about it, bearing in mind that it means that he
will inadvertently find himself on a daily basis within 100 yards of a certain
person (who never leaves the house) who has stated on the internet that if Kev
was in the UK he would want some stern words with him about his excommunication
from this person’s ‘church’ and to justify himself as a leftie ‘Judas
Iscariot’. Well Kev could hardly attend all those Sunday services in the Bunkerlow
whilst living in Saudi
Arabia, could he? Bit of a long trip on the
offchance that a service might actually ever happen. And they never even
bothered to offer Kev’s airfare either. Well we were having a bit of a laugh about
that, but Kev didn’t surprise me when he said that if this person genuinely
wants to offer his ‘stern words’ to Kev’s face then Kev is more than happy to
oblige. Kev would love to clear up the apparent misunderstanding that he is only
speaking his truths from the 'safety' of Dubai - when he is in reality
more than happy to say them in person face to face, on record, and answer any commentary about them. There will be approximately 43
opportunities for when Kev’s ‘ticking off’ can be scheduled. Distance and
communication are not a problem, and Kev can be contacted in this regard via
this blog’s confidential comment function, or by emailing raggetyricketts@gmail.com . Four or
five witnesses would of course be required. Kev has various questions about the
behaviour of this devout person about which he himself would like explanations.
Which he is sure this person will be happy to give in front of witnesses. He
has nothing to hide or be ashamed of, after all, surely??? Presumably his misguided
hateblogs are sanctioned by his friends, family, neighbours and ‘church’ so he won’t mind
discussing them in person? Maybe he'd even like to join in a training session for old times' sake!
And surely with open and honest communication, even the
Bournemouth Superpower can find the goodness which he once saw and manipulated
so readily in his now-Saudi ‘comrade’ of yore??? After all, all Kev did was tell the truth,
which is a Christian value to be extolled at all times.
Kev is also very excited, because while he’s in the UK he will also
have a chance to discuss his pending and now almost completed autobiography.
Bit difficult to do that from UAE with all the communication difficulties, but
now he will have a chance to go and sort things out in person. However, even
with the prospect of a working holiday coming up, Kev will be glad to get back
to a cooler climate for a change.
Signing off now but will update soon,
Raggety
