Reference :- Chris Kenny has hit the deck running after his recent return from the USA .
Well Chris , you certainly don't appear to suffer from jet lag . None of us here at the Sky Reply have had the opportunity to do any globe trotting , but we hear it can be quite exhausting . Anyway , it's good to see that you are unaffected and still in top form . And congratulations for concealing your disappointment with the election result . Disappointment made worse , no doubt , by your erroneous predictions . A lesser man might be miffed , but not you .
Of course , you would have guessed that Paul Barry and his mob at the ABC ... I mean the "Taxpayer Funded ABC " , as it is now called , would take the opportunity to try and belittle you for backing the wrong Presidential candidate . Forewarned is forearmed , as they say , and you certainly delivered a full broadside to Paul Barry when you said his comments ran off you like " water off a duck's back " .
That had us laughing , so Monte ( being our numbers man ) decided to run a test , since we still have a few Orpingtons and Indian Runner Ducks thriving in the back yard despite the drought . Ken junior got the hose out from under the tank stand , while Monte rounded up the ducks . Gabbo was in charge of the timing .
Indian Runner Ducks are tall and upright , unlike the squat Orpingtons , so we figured water would run off their backs faster . But there wasn't much in it . Gabbo timed 3 seconds for the Indian Runners , and 4 seconds for the Orpingtons .
Monte then timed your rant about the unfairness of your treatment by the ABC , I mean The Taxpayer Funded ABC . He says you moaned on for over 8 minutes . ( 505 seconds in fact . )
I guess that is not exactly in the " duck's back " league , but you can hardly be blamed for resorting to hyperbole following such unfair provocation . And thankfully you didn't have to pay for the air time you needed to vent your spleen , since I hear that is up in the thousands of quid per minute .
Your comrade , Ken .
