AN: Happy birthday . knitekat. Hope you have a kittitastic day. Am not much on writing atm, but here is a very tiny ficlet featuring a grumpy season one Lester.

Awww, that was surprisingly sweet!

James thought back to which minister he had possibly offended and gave up after he had run out of fingers.
I laughed out loud at that line!

James might even wear it once or twice on days where there were no important meetings.
Um, damning with faint praise, are we? *g*

Well done, team! I think they know him better than he thought they did!

[stealingpennies]

Ha! James is just looking for an acceptable excuse to give himself!
He'll probably wear that tie all the time as a 'favour' to the staff. :)

I do believe you're right... One's marshmallow interior must be hidden beneath a covering of spikes.

"He considered hanging the sign up at once. But no, it was his birthday. This was his team. And they had done well. Let them have another ten minutes enjoying themselves before he threw them all out." I love this! The last line was just so Lester. Splorfl!
and yes, Lester, there is more to Temple than bad hair and dubious taste in clothing. You should get to know him better... hmmm, not very subtle am I. *g*

[stealingpennies]

Is that a pitchfork I see before me? Lol, you know if it were up to me... But poor James has just come through a divorce. (And I'm not sure exactly who knitekat would pair him with given a free choice!)

[fredbassett]

LOL, this is so brilliantly Lester, particularly the last line!

[stealingpennies]

Cheers! Lester is never one to view a glass as half-full.

Aw, that was quite, perfectly, adorable.

Cutter’s attempts at casual conversation were painful, to say the least, but at last the phone rang in what was clearly some sort of signal and both Cutter and James visibly sagged with relief.
*SNORT*

[stealingpennies]

Thanks. *g* It's not as if Lester and Cutter don't both love the sound of their own voices. You think they'd be good at casual chit chat!

Fabulous! A lovely mix of grumpy Lester, funny lines (Cutter and Cutter again!) and some rather poignant moments.

Cheers! Grumpy Lester is fun to write. (Though possibly less fun to live with!)
