Episode 0482 - The Planners: Examiner, Insurer, Leila, Secretary, Selina, Tetra, Vanna, Yafo, Zola, ~ 09 ``Tetra: Excuse me quin, but on a 3 lane way, the left lane is to turn left, the middle lane is to carry straight on, and the right lane is to turn right! ``Examiner: Zaa. ``Tetra: So why have you got right arrows as well in both right and middle lanes? ``Examiner: The idea is to speed up the traffic flow. ``Tetra: That is what causes the accidents, because buggies are in the wrong lane, and dive over too late. ``Examiner: Point noted. ``Tetra: When you go from 2 lanes into one lane, the arrow should be pointing to the right, why is it pointing to the left? ``Examiner: Again, that is to help the flow of the traffic. ``Tetra: You are going to have a bottleneck anyway, so you need to tell Beings further back, so they can slow down and ease themselves into one lane. ``Examiner: Point noted. ``Tetra: So why have you tricked me into doing something which is wrong, when I want to do it correctly? ``Examiner: I will bring it up at the next meeting. ``Tetra: Also, I had a buggy trying to push me forward at the roundabout, saying it is okay to go, but we are still supposed to stop and give way, and I could see another buggy coming under the bridge a bit fast, so I waited to see where it was going, before moving on. Therefore, you should be telling him off, who was behind me! ``Examiner: I will go and see my Boss, please wait and stay at the centre. --- My boss has agreed, so here is your certificate. We will bring these points up for scrutiny, at our next meeting. ``Tetra: Zarfs. Zimo. {Space Dock Office + Secretary + Insurer ~ 3} ``Secretary: What do we do about this new maintenance contract for the computers? ``Yafo: Bin it. ``Secretary: hey? ``Yafo: We do not need it, the computers are all under guarantee and we have our own experts if something goes wrong and it is cheaper to replace it, than to fix it. All we need to pay for, is for the back-up site, which is on a separate policy. ``Secretary: Zaa Yafo. The Insurer is here. --- Zeno, I am Yafo. ``Insurer: Zeno, how can I help? ``Yafo: We need a fresh insurance appraisal from now on, and for all these other policies to be dumped. ``Insurer: Certus. We wanted to revise things in the past, but they were not interested. ``Yafo: I have taken over, under a new company, so come up with your proposals. ``Insurer: Go for the top package, which covers the lot. ``Yafo: We are now Intergalactic Standard, so will that push up the premium? ``Insurer: Zaa, by 10%. ``Yafo: So how much? ``Insurer: ¢1,000 per week, so that is ¢70,000’ per year. ``Yafo: You will cancel all other policies whether you think they are owing or not? ``Insurer: Zaa, and you can pay up front in half yearly instalments. ``Yafo: Our Treasurer will be in tomorrow so write it all up, and I will authorize it. ``Insurer: Zaffre, Yafo. Zimo. ``Secretary: Blimey, I am amazed, and we were paying much more than that anyway. ``Yafo: That is good news to hear. {Sandalwood Fundus ~ 3} ``Vanna: Tetra has a grin on her face! ``Tetra: I had a right go at them, as the lane markings were all wrong. ``Selina: So did you get it? ``Tetra: They had to, and they will bring the points up at their next meeting. ``Selina: Congratulations. ``Vanna: Well done, sis. ``Selina: So what do you fancy for dinner? ``Tetra: Something simple like, what we had back on Earth, Bangers and mash with onions? ``Vanna: Okay I will translate it to Mum, ***! ``Selina: Zaa. Approved. ``Vanna: It will be our equivalent. {Zola’s Place + Vanna ~ 2} ``Vanna: How are we going to behave ourselves , for 28-hours? ``Zola: Tricky: We can take your IMC books as I too, would like to learn more. ``Vanna: Good girl, let us see if we can find a new intellectual adventure game. ``Zola: Excellent idea, as that should soak up the time. ``Vanna: We can still take our special card packs and take a book to read, in case we do not want to do anything else. ``Zola: I suggest some ear muffs, and some music, so we can block off any unwanted noise. ``Vanna: Excellent idea. ``Zola: Plenty of paper to write on, as we cannot shout at each other. ``Vanna: And no electronic tablets. ``Zola: Agreed. < IMC = Instrument Meteorological Conditions> < Previous Page 481 Pollux <12.2.5> Warming [11 = 424 <468> 00 = 105] Next Page 483> |
