50 pounds “English pounds”

Stokes the Sous Chef at my work place has had an ongoing bet with Rigby the Catering Chump, for the footballing season, Rigby aka “the Trout” has bet Stokes that Liverpool, Rigby’s and also my favourite football team will be higher placed in the premiership at the end of the English footballing calender than the enjoyable footballers of Arsenal.

50 Pounds English Sterling to be precise, is the bet between these two strange and completely different characters.

Rigby an ageing Ex army master Chef that thinks thickening a curry with gravy powder is the done thing in today’s catering establishments and swirls of cream denotes flare.

Stokes an eccentric word god, with far to much time on his hands for mischief.

Long and short of it is that as all us footy enthusiasts know Stokes has won the bet but will Rigby accept it “No will he fuck as like” so it’s now down to Stokes to collect his fortune from said Rigby.

Chances are Rigby will try and cop out of it by sending Stokes some sand or even a case of Broccoli and if he really gets creative a curry thickened with Knorr gravy granules.

If Stokes does collect this 50 English pounds, and not some uninspiring curry dish from the sand dunes of Iraq, I think he will rein act the Demi More seen in Indecent proposal, after all he did ask for all pearl divers.
