Any thoughts Ive ever entertained that I might do a building course and swap the precariousness of writing and bookselling for the surethingness of bricklaying or plumbing have flown out the window. Reason? Theyre building a house next door and now I know exactly what builders are like. The boss builder seems to know only six words from one song They will never tear us apart (INXS), while his 2IC knows only five words from another Return to sender, address unknown (Elvis). The fact that they know only 11 song-words between them doesnt stop them singing/vocalising once a minute throughout the day, starting at 6:30am when they arrive on site. The Sudanese labourer seems quietly perplexed.
