A short thought.... and nothing more hope it entertains

"God… you really are a W**ker"

Ok …but do you really mean it or is it something you say so often that there is no feeling attached to it whatsoever. It has become a part of you and your level of communication. Therefore, can I take that as an insult really? Should not and to be honest with you I need to say, one should not use God’s name in vain at all. And I doubt whether he ever did indulge in that act, as if I understand what I have read , there was no need to. Was there?

As for the commenture, I feel that he is one, as is everybody on this planet. But being in an aspirational society we do not recognise people for their basic instincts but really for their remarkable achievements. If so out toilet habits would have become a more popular reference for people I have no doubt.

I would like to add; yes I am one and I have no guilt on that matter at all. Maybe you do and this is all about transference. I need to add that this will not work on me my friend. Despite the look on your face and that comment…you really could have come out with something better. More original I feel. Could you not?

Anyway, less of this, need to get back to the job.

" OK… do not move until I have blown the whistle OK?"

" Ok"

I blow the whistle and its one nil.

" W**ker."

Oh no… him again but I need to do something about this now. I wish I could book him for lack of imagination when choosing an insult. That would be something.

But then I hear the crowd sing that common song of self abuse. " Who’s thw w**ker in the black.". Oh dear but if I was Afro-Caribbean could that be classed as racism? Um…..Oh well for now, book that w**ker.

A hard piece to categorize. I like your light style, and you have some really good lines in here ("yes I am one and I have no guilt on that matter at all. Maybe you do and this is all about transference."), but the first half and second don't connect very well. I was a bit thrown when the dialogue returned and we get the setting of the match. I had been expecting the piece to be mainly internal, and then felt like I had to realign it in my head when it switched.

Thanks for that I agree but the next one will be better. 
 
 
I hope so at least
