Explosion

Explosion

It must be a bit tough being an Exec member. Every fortnight you'd feel like a decrepid old aunt in her smelly old house. Come Christmas all the grand nieces and nephews roll up soley in the hope of a hand-out. Tonights applicants were Canwar and an anti-abortion (you try to say it) couple. I always notice this about visitors to Exec They all sit at the far end of the table, near the door. Ready for a quick get-away I guess.

Rod Prosser and Alistar Barry of Canwar thought it would be very noce thank-you very much, if a 1976 loan of $370 due this week could be converted into a grant. Steve Underwood got a fact or two wrong appeared to have a nuclear explosion in the brain and lunged at them in a most fiery manner. When corrected as to the facts he withdrew his less moderate statements. Eventually, when it came time for the sheep to baa, Canwar got their grant.

The money is for a film Canwar made. Rod Prosser promised the Exec that it would be ready by the end of the week, complete with shots of the destruction of Wellington by a nuclear bomb.
