Shaun: Hi, Jamie.
Jamie: Shaun. (Curt and hopefully “I cant be bothered just now” expression)
Shaun: What are you looking at?
Jamie: My string quartet page I’m writing. (Feverish burst of typing to simulate business and have-better-things-to-do-ness)
Shaun: Do you play pop or classical music?
Jamie: (Withering glance) Classical.
Shaun: Don’t know much myself, I like the one that goes [Dum dala DUM DUM, Dum dala DUM DUM…]
Jamie: Wagner, Call of the Valkiries
Shaun: yeah, that’s the one and one about a bee… I think.
Jamie: ?
Shaun: You know [Dooohoohoohoooohlaaaah dumalumalumalumaladumala..]
Jamie: Flight of the Bumble Bee?
Shaun: Yep, knew it had to do with bees.
Jamie: Shaun, you are a philistine.
Shaun: A what?
The flat page is back.
Laziness and genuineness conspired to make me not change a thing of what I resurrected from the Internet Archive. Out of respect to an ex-flatmate who now works in the public eye with criminally insane people, I’ve redacted surnames, but that’s about it.
