The Waiting Game

I met up with Rimmer today with a view to getting a quick line filmed. It was a beautiful day and the park was fairly busy so it wasn't that surprising that there were some people occupying the benches that we had our eyes on, so we sat nearby and waited. It was a quite a while until the people left so we had a couple of quick attempts but the need for a bit of wax soon became obvious. I nipped to the shops, bought some wax and returned to find the benches occupied once again. Fair enough, it's a public park and benches are for sitting on after all. We sat nearby and waited. And waited. And waited some more. The three women sitting on the bench not only stayed there for three hours but they left some litter behind including a banana skin which had been smeared on the top of the bench somehow. Basically, long story short, we got nothing done and spent the entire day sitting in the park getting sunburnt and playing with Rimmer's dog Jas who is half alsation and half greyhound.
