Reference :- Rowan Dean handled a difficult interview with Andy Bolt rather well considering the circumstances .
Well done Rowan . I like your new hairdo . A chap's credibility is usefully enhanced by a tidy coiffure and though it was no doubt fun for you to run the shaggy mop look , it doesn't work if you have nothing much to say .
That interview with young Andy Bolt was awkward for you Rowan , and there was no disguising the fact . Andy's dishevelled look and slurred speech were sad indeed , but you did keep a brave face and cut the chap plenty of slack . Your generous chuckle when Andy couldn't pronounce the word " choreography " almost succeeded in concealing your discomfort .... but not quite .
I mean for heaven's sake Rowan , if a chap is tired and emotional he should surely avoid words like "choreography" , which is difficult to articulate at the best of times .
The lads at the Sky Reply said that your interview reminded them of an incident at the Kooralya bus stop last week . Monte and Gabbo were waiting for the bus , and a drunk wandered acrosss from the pub and started raving incoherently . They couldn't tell whether he was being racist or just joking . The lads had no idea what to say , but humored the chap by smiling awkwardly and laughing when that seemed appropriate . They could hardly wait to get on the bus and bugger off.
Now you have the new hairdo Rowan , you should distance yourself from Andy . He has had his hour to strut and fret upon the stage , and it would not be fair if he compromised your turn in the spotlight during his decline . If you dust him , we won't think less of you .
Your comrade , Ken .
