Conflict at the Castle...sensaesDecember 7 2007, 22:31:34 UTC
I've had to put it under lock and key! Gilbert tried lifting it, and did himself a mischief (he's "resting" now, and not in the thespian sense of the word), and some sort of dispute erupted last night between Hugo and Grendel over who should have responsibility for it:
"Technically, it's a book, so it belongs in the Library, and that's my jurisdiction," said Hugo.
"I could very easily brain you with the thing, which makes it a weapon, and that makes it MY juris-dick-up-your-shon." replied Grendel.
Hugo got dangerously out-of-order at that point, and hollered across to the Armoury:
"'Shon' isn't even a proper word, you pathetic brute. I'm not just the gardener any more, you know, so don't go around threatening your betters."
Very ugly. Naturally, I stepped in at that juncture - mainly because they were beginning to drown out A Book at Bedtime on Radio 4:
"Now listen here, you chaps. Neither of you is taking specific functionality into account. It's very clearly, and above all else, a notebook. And you don't need me to tell you who deals with those around here, do you?"
*Sigh.* I really do need to run a tighter ship these days...
Please don't ever bring it outside, Prof. I couldn't stand the drama...
