What, the desk weigh too much?

Aren't you busy?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Nah, this pint's almost gone, but if you insist on waiting.

What's with the box of my goodies? There a fire or flood or other natural disaster at Bellissima I've'n't heard about?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You have no need of an office here, so being the thoughtful person that I am, you no longer have to concern yourself with your disused space.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Ha ha. Very funny. You almost had me there.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Enjoy your lager.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

C'mon, Pansy. What's going on?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You're to live in another country no where near Britain, intent on opening your own extension of Bellissima. Tell me why exactly you'll need an office here when you won't be at it. And what will become of the club here when you'll be going in business with Sullivan there? You've already chosen where you want to be; don't pretend that this is a surprise.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Don't pretend this is a surprise? Right. Well mayhaps it wouldn't be if we had, oh hell, I don't know, a discussion of as much. Christ, Pansy.

Look, first off, what do you mean I won't be using it? Tell me why the hell I quit my job at Dundee's if I wasn't going to be more sodding involved in Bellissima's daily operations? Why've I gone through the ruddy headache of setting up my timetable so that I can spend half the week at Bellissima and the other half revising until my knob's limp?

Second, the expansion isn't anywhere near being on the map. It's years off; I told you as much. And when the time does come, it'll be every bit of yours as it'll be mine. I didn't spend my time in Blighty busting my arse for the hell of it, while you were off hiding in Paris. And I've'n't been out here shaking hands, making connections, trying to secure our future just for shits and giggles, either.

Lastly, are you really that upset about me staying in Australia?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Do you even have to ask?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

So you're punishing me?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

No, I'm doing what's best for you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Cheers, but you don't get to decide that for me. You're wrong, anyroad.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You already decided! You're staying there, take very chance you can to say how much you dislike Britain, and now Padma is moving as well. You won't be coming back; there's no point in pretending otherwise.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You're right. I'm not coming back, not the way you're wanting, not anytime soon anyroad. I've another two years in my programme so half my time has to be good enough. Jesus, something's better than nothing. Besides, my family, my best mates, my godson, and my sole source of income are there. You really think that with all that's left there, I'd be able to keep away?

Look, I'm sending my stuff back. Don't worry about sorting it, I'll do it first thing Friday morning. Then you and I're going to take breakfast and we'll sort this out, yeah?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You're not coming back ever. I'm English and I'm proud of it whether or not you like England anymore. You always say how terrible it is here, but it's not.

You have Padma and Tony there already. In no time, Terry with follow you and you'll be set.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You forget that easily what the previous administration was like? Sure, things've changed since the last fuckwad, but all apologies, having your dad in charge doesn't make me all warm and fuzzy inside either. Things have'n't changed enough.

You're missing a couple important people there.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

All that I'm missing is you, but you have your own life and I can't expect you to stay in a country for a friend. And I don't!


I don't forget, but it is what it is. Not all of us abandon everything. Even I know that's wrong...now.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Since when was it decreed that living in separate countries means we can't be actively involved in the other's life?

I haven't sodding abandoned everything.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

People move on. You'll move on.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

No. Sorry. That isn't a subject that's up for discussion. S'pose you'll just have to deal, yeah?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Don't send your things back. You've been sacked.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You can't sack me, damn it, we're partners.

Will you fucking knock this shite off?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Someone can though, can't they?


You're frustrating and completely annoying.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You get what you give.

I'll see you Friday morning unless my open invite to stay at Purgatory when I'm in town hasn't been rescinded.
