RIP Dr No




 It’s 3.20pm on Thursday – Golf Day and i am rushing to escape my office to join Ginger Warrior on the course. My phone rings. It’s Boss. Fuck – normally she leaves me to my own devises.

However, it transpires that it is our very first conference call, with Mr T and GW, and i can immediately guess where this is going. Boss informs us that Dr No is out! His letter of "resignation" has been accepted by Ato S.

She may be English, but Boss went native long ago. She spouts her bull-shit, sayng she was instrumental in his removal and persuaded Ato S to let him go. She has had 8 years to rebel against Dr No, and as usual, she has done nothing in alignment with the School of Inertia. It shouldn’t upset me, but it does!

Twenty minutes later i meet up with GW on the first hole. I would have thought we would have been elated at getting rid of the reptile, but neither of us are. Relieved for sure, but there is no whooping or jubilation. That said, it’s our most leisurely and informal round yet.

As Davenport keenly notes, you never know who will come in as a replacement. 

Nonetheless, two down and one to go. Boss is a liar, a fraud, vindictive and a bully.
