Kimbo doesn't seem to have opened any supermarkets, high-rise apartment blocks, or suspension bridges recently, and I wanted to know why.
Has the supply of ribbon dried up? Are no new supermarkets being built? Are his services simply no longer required?
He didn't seem to know why either. He always came free of charge, provided his own transport, and didn't even demand a Champagne lunch.
I suspect his lack of scissor work is because he isn't blonde with 'ample assets'. However, I've advised him to put his name on the 'I cut ribbons.com' website, and wait for offers to roll in.
Anyway, we've just had breakfast together, where he told me all about a recent visit to Berkshire. He apparently gave a lecture to a very large university audience. So, someone still wants him.
Back to the day job Kimbo! He's off to Singapore any day; meetings, meetings, meetings!
How pleased I am to have been a lowly painter.
His lifestyle sounds exhausting, give me the quiet life any day!
ReplyDeleteMe too. He's permanently exhausted.
DeleteKimbo is a son to be proud of.
ReplyDeleteI'm VERY proud of him.
DeleteThe fact that he would immediately jump in his car and cross The Channel to rescue his parents when your car broke down shows the kind of man and son he is.
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing. How many sons would do that!
DeleteWhat a great life. For Kimbo. You must be very proud of him.
ReplyDeleteHe's a good boy. His two sons have left for NY this morning. Goodness knows what they'll find! It sounds like there could be trouble.
DeleteCould it be that, given the current situation in the UK at least, these days there aren't many ribbons to cut?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe there is a shortage of scissors!
DeleteAnd I am glad for you. Your life seems to be one of highs of enjoying being alive and life itself.
ReplyDeleteWe do our best, on what we have!
DeleteKimbo must enjoy being on-the-go. Exotic Singapore makes a good travel destination. The tailors there are quite good too if you want custom suits, dress shirts or silk ties. The silk bedsheets are pretty fabulous too.
ReplyDeleteHe's been there before and usually brings back a few goodies. I don't think he's ever had a suit made there.
