Aberdeen Park Talk 2016


So after a solo romp around the park (no dawdling) I joined my Saturday morning pals and their humans.

While engaging in routine greetings, I overheard snippets of the humans' conversation:

"Still working?"
"Job hanging by a thread"
"Mine too. Only eleven days billable so far this year"
"Rate cuts of 10% in the offing"
"10%, you're lucky, I'm down 40%"
"More redundancies coming up at BP"
"And yet Bob Dudley's still paid £14 million"
"North Sea's finished, our vessel's heading to Angola for six weeks; the wife'll be walking Tassie"

It was all getting too depressing. So when I spotted my wiry pal Murphy by the gate, I bounced over to say hello.

Boy, that's some haircut, I remarked.

I don't need reminding Bertie, came the plaintive response, didn't you notice it snowed last night? Spring in Scotland, huh!

But then Murphy spotted a jogger and livened up considerably.

You can't keep a good WFT down for long…

    Dear me Bertie those snippets of humanese...was a lot for SCIENTIFIC WFT to digest!. You did have a very sunny day though. OM WFT Someone buddy seriously lowered Murphy's ears (mom said when her dad was going to get a hair cut,he said he was getting his ears lowered)....even the glorious WFTtail furs were eliminated! Hugs Madi your bestie

    Murphy looks like a fun guy! But I like your more natural haircut more.

    A friend, who recently moved to the US from Scotland, talked about the terrible state of the oil industry there, for all but ole Bobby.
