But they all suffer frorn tliat terrible affliction — sbort arms and long pockets. Corky even charges lor giving me the time. Nicko si|ueaks when he walks and Wazia always seems to have forgotten his waUet when it's his round! Anyway, because of this and 'cos I'm a complete sadist and get a kick out of inflicting pain (especially when it's Nicko's head I'm ItiGking), I've stucli 'em all in my torture chamber and given 'em a whole load of what-foil Tve even managed to get the managing director Jonathan Hitter' Rignall in here so when he's had a goad hard thrashing I might get my pay rise (mind you, he'lt probabiy ertfoy it)!
