A beer (or two) with Blind Freddy.
P2 - "I reckon Blind Freddy could join those dots... "
Serious darts practice; big match coming up with a Kiwi crew who are no easy beats. Anyway, Blind Freddy was there along with the rest of the crew and I asked him – “P2 reckons you can join the dots in his latest breadcrumb trail; so, tell all”. “Bloody P2” says Freddie “is, are you well know writing this years ‘brain-teaser’ for the AGM; not fair”. A beat as the new ales arrive – “and anyway, you two are working on the research, so you can’t compete this year” he mumps. Quick as a wink I wade into the morass – “ Never do enter” say’s I – “but I’ll referee it; anyway it’s way to deep for my wooden head'. “But, if the question is posed the way I think it will be, it is a real head scratcher; this time, he’s gone ‘deep’: but, I’ll give you a clue, think about ICAO notifications, ATSB/ASA staff movements and mandatory stuff”
Freddie took his turn; I marked the board and had my throw; then we retired to the corner. “all well and good” say’s he – I caught the cunning glint in his eye and waited – “but the anomalies won’t be the core of the question; it will be on the strange twists and turns of a career change, P2 will want to know the why of the thing: rotten bugger, you watch, it will all centre about EH being appointed and a sudden rush of reports being filed”.
What could I say? Not too much is the answer, there were some mighty strange doings: P2 and I have ploughed our way through it all as best we may; but there is one small knot we cannot undo. I have a feeling that the undoing of that knot will be this years ‘brain teaser’; if it is, the Gordian version was a stroll in the park.
Strange and wonderful are the workings of our safety agencies – very strange indeed. It will interesting to see what associates make of it all; if we ever get to the end of the research. Lots to do.
Blind Freddie winked at me, signalled for more ale, got up to take his shots and proved, once again, why he is an essential member of the BRB front line darts team and nowhere near dopey.
Bring it on P2 – give ‘em the question and turn ‘em loose. Full house BRB and an intriguing question, can’t wait.
Toot toot.
