choice quotes

quote:

She believes she knows why this is happening. "We own a Porsche. I don't work and my husband's a qualified doctor. That's why they hate us. They're all working class. We don't go to work on time, we don't hang our washing out on time, we don't shop at Pak'nSave. It's just a social statement.

quote:

It was just after the Porsche arrived, a year ago, when "outside this door here" - she points to the side gate - "there was a clutch of Asians".

"What else do you call them? A gabble?"

quote:

Mr Chambers was out cleaning the roof the other day and Ted was charging around next door having a bark. "This cocker spaniel, a big bastard, If he could have climbed up and torn my arm off, he would have. In the end I squirted him with water, and I'll continue to do so."

It is really an amazing article, top to bottom. The ending is spectacular:

quote:

The Herald's noisy companion, as we moved up and down the driveways of Coates Ave, was goofy, witless Ted. He gets the final word.

Predictably, his word is: "Woof!!!"

Repeatedly.

That's being kind. It's the "We really want a status symbol but we haven't actually got the stretch to get a proper sportscar AND a flash utility vehicle. Cayenne it is!"

That thing is amazing.

quote:

There also emerged the curious Rupert Fairley-Jones, QC, who in an email to Mr Chambers described himself as a "close acquaintance" who is a "consultant" advising the "accused".

Fairley-Jones warned Mr Chambers of possible legal breaches in obtaining the dog permit application through the Official Information Act because the subsequent affidavits give "the assumption the document contained forged signatures".

Another email, from the same Gmail address, targeted Mr Chambers' employer, alleging misdeeds and warning "of the coming storm ahead".

Mr Chambers believes Ms de St Croix and Fairley-Jones are the same person. He has matched errors in Ms de St Croix's emails to those in the Fairley-Jones emails. "She can't even spell right. Her grammar is appalling."
