Teenwolf. Had been up for one hour. When it all got too much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So angry yesterday I was fit to be tied, Teenwolf had a group of pals round to the communal gardens – again – on the promise he would tidy everything up. So when walking the dogs in the morning I came upon an enclave in the garden which as my pal Fiona said when she clocked it ‘God it looks like Guns N Roses have been in here ‘. Stomping off back to the house I marched into the lair of the wolf.<\/p>\n

‘Get up right now and clear the garden up’. Silence and no movement. So I upped the decibel level to high screech with accompanying door thump. A vague stirring. So I whipped the duvet off – a classic move which never fails to get a reaction – ‘What?’ came the bleary eyed response.<\/p>\n

‘Get your backside down to the garden right now and clear up that stour’. (stour being Scots for a bloody mess\/shambles)<\/p>\n

10 minutes later he was spotted in hoodie sloping over the garden clutching a bin liner, a bucket and a reluctant friend.<\/p>\n

So not the most auspicious start to the day. Against the odds, things were about to get worse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Later I was doing a voice over in my studio. After recording I turned on the speakers to listen back before sending off the mp3. Nothing. I fiddled about and pressed play again. Nada except a tiny high pitched whine. ‘LOUIS!!!!!!!!!!’ I screamed as I tanked down the stairs at speed.<\/p>\n

‘ Yeh?’
\n‘Answer this honestly and quickly. Have you been farting about with my studio speakers?’<\/p>\n

‘Em….’<\/p>\n

Eyes bulging’ Em whaat?’<\/p>\n

‘Well not exactly farting about. But I took them downstairs to yesterday to see how good they were’.<\/p>\n

‘W H A T? ? Well you have blown them’.<\/p>\n

‘I can’t have’<\/p>\n

‘You bloody well have’.<\/p>\n

‘Calm down I’ll sort them out’. and with that he strolled (strolled no sense or urgency or panic which put my anger level up a few notches) up to the studio, plugged them in and got no reaction at all.<\/p>\n

‘Well they were working’.
\n‘Well they are not now!’ The \u00a0walls were \u00a0vibrating at this point with the velocity of shouting. Downside\u00a0–\u00a0high blood pressure. Upside – \u00a0the only broadcaster that doesnt need a transmitter? So I went mad. I did. I was furious.
\nHis reaction?<\/p>\n

Smirking!!<\/p>\n

Oh<\/strong><\/p>\n

My<\/strong><\/p>\n

God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The smirk was not quite so prolific after he was informed his pocket money would be witheld until new speakers were paid for.<\/p>\n

Within an hour we were calm, the air was cleared and we were laughing. I’m still having his pocket money though.<\/p>\n
