Oh dead oh dear....talk about leaving yourself wide open!!

WODGER to ATCO: WADDA YA MEAN CRASHED??

ATCO: Sir the system crashed

WODGER: (thinks)..where's the skull when you need him.

WODGER: RIGHT YOU LOT, SHUT THEM DOWN, DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT, JUST SHUT THEM DOWN!

ATCO: But Sir we'd be shutting ourselves down, it was just a computer glitch.

WODGER: GLITCH...GLITCH!!! THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE!! YOU SAID THEY CRASHED FOR CHRIST SAKE...NOBODY CRASHES ON MY WATCH (starting to foam at the mouth)....SHUT THEM DOWN I SAID!!

ATCO: But Sir we'd need a reason to shut down ATC.Think of all the jobs that would be lost, think of all the money that would be lost, think of the punters, think of the country, we have no grounds to shut us down

WODGER: (thinks) God where's a worthless and a Dubious when you need them

WODGER TO ATCO: LISTEN YOU SILLY LITTLE LACKY YOU...I SAID THEY CRASHED...CRASHING IS ALL THE CAUSE YOU NEED....MAKE IT UP YOU FOOL, JUST MAKE IT UP (thinks) wonder if Worthless and Dubious would shift camp?
