Jake Randolph in "Bourbon On The Rocks" Pt. 86
"I've been calling your office since yesterday," he said as he closed the suitcase.
"Yeah," I said, "I should probably get an answering service. Why did you lam it from the Silver Sun?"
"Because I was up at the front desk getting some cigarettes and I saw Bobby Diamond's second-in-command, Cal, up the street. I asked the clerk to call me a cab, grabbed my case and ran."
He got his suitcase and we walked back to the parking lot in time to see the man from Room 4 pounding on the desk clerk like a drum set...

Thanks, Neville. I envisioned that like a scene in a movie where that's just going on in the background as the main characters pass by in front of it and not really focused on but you knew was a result of Jake's actions.

Knowing you're familiar with quite a lot of British TV, Christopher, if you get a chance on Netflix or the like, try to see the three series (3x5 episodes) of a thing called Witless. It's about two ditsy provincial girls who witness a murder and go into a witness protection programme to get them away from the local villain and his gang. It's funny, brutal and charming all wrapped up together. Outstanding TV in my opinion.

Sounds cool. I'll see if it's on Netflix or Amazon. That's the only streaming services I have at the moment. I can't remember the name, but there's a new streaming service where you can get the best of British TV shows past and present. I should probably look into that one because I enjoy British TV. Or telly.

Telly...absolutely!

I have this bizarre notion that if you consume so much classic British telly, by now you must sound like a propa British gent rather than an Alabaman. :-)

Haha! He was terrible at it! I can do a fairly convincing Liverpudlian accent from so many years of growing up watching "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" I can do a decent posh one as well, but I think I'd blend in more in the East End of London than the West End.

I used to live in the East End and work in the West End..... best of both worlds!

Yeah Steve. Most of the villains seem to have lived in the East End!
