Chapter 8 - Dumb and Dumber

Well they finally met someone to talk to last night. Some lad called Ashley on his way home to Oz from Blighty. Why was he heading home they asked?

"Well I turned up in England 2 weeks ago planning to get a job as a plumber and it was freezing. I didn't have any warm clothes or money to buy them so I had to come home. Am going to work at home and save some money for some warm clothes before heading back."

"Surely," the Quasi-Queer Lawyer (showing off his rapier like cross-examination skills), "you'll need to save for another ticket as well, would it not have been simpler to get a days work as a plumber in England and buy clothes there"

"Hadn't thought of that"

Genius.

Our postbag has asked for an update on Jasper (the Dane from Singapore). Well all your correspondent can report is that he was last seen being dragged from a fight by Hoots before being put to bed in time to catch his flight to Oz were he was going to become a professional Aussie rules footballer.
