Reference:- This happened over breakfast .
This morning we were all tucking in to some of Gabbo's excellent eggs on toast . Dog even scored a couple because the yolks broke in the fry pan .... Gabbo is a stickler for presentation .
Anyway , the following conversation unfolded when Monte asked Ken junior whether he could answer a question for him .
" Can you answer a question for me ? " , Monte said .
" I'll do my best . " , Ken junior said .
" What are your thoughts on the people of Gaza ? ", Monte said .
" My heart goes out to those poor people . Imagine living a life of quiet desperation , struggling just to survive day to day and keep a roof over your head . Most have no hope for their future or the future of their children , who suffer from appalling lack of nutrition . They are oppressed by a brutal conservative regime that shows them no pity . And yet , only a few miles away , privileged folk live in luxury while turning a blind eye to a cruel system of apartheid from which they have benefited for decades . " Ken junior said .
" So that's what you think of the situation in Gaza ? " , Monte said .
" Oh ... sorry , I thought you said the situation at the Plaza . " , Ken junior said .
" That's OK . I wanted to know about the Plaza too." , Monte said .
" Nobody has any money these days , do folk just go to the Plaza for the air conditioning ? " Gabbo said .
" Yeah , I think so . " , Ken junior said .
" Stop talking with your mouths full. " , I said .
Dog , realizing no more eggs were coming his way , walked out of the kitchen in disgust .
Your comrade , Ken .
