One of my childhood friends Dad died the other day, which was sad to hear but it reminded me of a very strange thing he did one time I was staying at his house when I was about 10 years old in the 90’s. I was staying there one weekend and on the Saturday night I called my mom from the house phone, the conversation was fairly normal and then the dad approached me afterwards and told me to come into his office where he then proceeded to play back the phone conversation I had with my mother as if it was something incredibly intriguing to him. I never told anyone about it for years after but when I did the reactions were fairly mixed with some people thinking he was probably a wrong un and some people giving him the benefit of the doubt, I personally think it was an odd as f**k thing to do and could have been incredibly awkward if my mum had slagged him off in some way which was a genuine possibility as she thought he was a weirdo. 

What benefit of what doubt? That's just disturbing.

I’m not a bot - I just have a good memory for things that happened 20+ years ago and remember this strange occurrence very vividly. This friend of mine also stayed in a huge house which always crept me out, his dad was Polish with a very posh accent and a beard and his hobbies included picking mushrooms and taxidermy.

Any chance of sorting me out with a hoody?

Your memories have been reawakened by his passing, there might be worse to come...just saying like.

Just that it might not have been sinister and he had just figured out how to do using some technology that was fancy for the 90’s. I’d imagine most parents I know would have a thing or two to say about it if it happened in current times.

As P&B’s artist in residence, could you present us with a portrait of him? 

[ICTChris]

Show us in the anatomically correct doll where he touched you throbber.

He looked like the bearded bad man from Air Force one.

And did he have a rainbow willy?

That’s me onto Type 2  on the Bristol Stool chart.

I highly doubt it, he wasn’t a very colourful man.

Is that how he phrased it? "Holy shit, look at this cool thing I've just discovered my phone can do?"

Or was it more, "sit down, young Throbber...I've been monitoring you and your family for some time..."

Well he was sat in his office and in the room next to it was a phone so I asked to use the phone then after the conversation he invited me into the next room and played it back to me with a big smirk on his face.

I sense a welcome return to form from throbber is upon us.

'Inside No. 9' script incoming.

The construction of a stool isn't pointless as it provides a comfortable place to sit down.   I don't like tasks that provide no 'added value'.    For example tomorrow I'm constructing a wooden bird table for the back garden and I don't mind that because I end up with a bird table.   Cutting the grass on the other hand I hate because it's return to the same length in a matter of days.  

Bizarre viewpoint, Andrew. Have you considered the opportunity cost element?
If you don't cut the grass, you possibly have 'x' number of days of nagging grief from your other half.

The mowing is what keeps him going. Keeping the grass between 0.8 and 1.1 inches long at all times is one of the primary weapons in his "wooing back Moira" armoury,

Ah, so that's why Santa brought him a stimpmeter.
