THE chattering classes report an unusual telephone conversation between the Harbarrowboy - safely exiled in Spain - and Colin CoverUp, unsecurely tied to his desk in the Municipal Buildings in downtown Dale Street.
Apparently the conversation went something like this...
Jase: Eh up Col, how's it going, ba gum?
Col: Jase, why are you ringing me?
Jase: I want t'come back ont' Wednesday so that I can go t' MTV awards in Munich on't Thursday. Dago doc says ma ticker is tickety boo, although appen I've got touch of skin cancer now. But that there MTV show is going to be a crackin gig, tha knows, there's loads of champagne and them there dancing girls and 'ollywood celebs we can run shoulders with and.....
Col: I don't think that would be 'appropriate'.
Jase: Why not mucker? It was ma bloomin' idea to bring MTV t'pool int' first place and ah'm not missing this fookin trip, for love nor money. Snoop Dogg is on!
Col: Who?
Jase: Snoop Dog! Ya know, fo' shizzle, ma nizzle!
(long, long pause)
Jase: Hello, Col! Are you still there, matey? Summat up?
Col: Yes, Jason.
Jase: So is tha' alright with you then mucker, if i come back in on't Wednesday? I'll do a bit of paperwork first for an hour or so, go and 'ave me lunch and then fook off to Berlin? There's a lot of work to do to get ready for 2008, tha knows. Peoples to see, places to go.... Matey.
Col: No Jase, I am afraid that would not be a sensible move. You know, the Leader of the Council's view about all this. And anyway, he is very busy now, doing all that extra homework with all the various reports he has been given.
Jase: Well bah the Christ, if thou is not for letting me back to work on the morrer, I shall ave to sling me hook and take three more weeks off on't sick! So there! And evil rottweiller McElhinney can do his worst! He can hire all t'taxis he wants to scuttle around to my gaff ont' wirral handing out notices demanding that ah'm to report for medical exam! But I won't be there, see! Ha, ha! Ah'll be at th'acienda! Eatin' lolly ice!
(Jase hangs up phone)
Col: Jason? Jason?

In your dreams Jase in your dreams
Remarkably accurate account of the phone conversation between them, according to those in the know....
The Harbarrowboy did phone Coverup and tell him he had some lieu days owing and was planning to come back on Wednesday and would be going to Munich the next day. Hilton told him his reappearance would not be appropriate at this juncture, as you say. Jase slammed the phone down. As you say. The rest of it is, of course, complete bollocks, but very funny nevertheless.
