quote:The age old clichΓ© 'let sleeping dogs lie' may be old, but it is as true today as it was when it was first uttered. And you'd think that Halfwit would understand the meaning of it by now, but possibly not as he got himself into another row with Bea.
Halfwit was lying in bed contemplating the past 24 hours, when Bea walked and started to do her make-up...
"Did you really think I was picking on Lisa the other day?" Halfwit asked.
"No," replied Bea. "Did I say that?"
So Halfwit unwisely decided to pursue the issue. "That's how people would have taken it when you said I've had the advantage of being the cleverest person in the House and winning arguments with people," explained Halfwit. "You must be aware that a lot of people are paranoid and suspicious about my intelligence, especially given the way things played out this morning, Lisa definitely felt I'd upset her," Halfwit added.
It would have been the smartest thing to walk away, but Halfwit added that he'd been offended by the fact that Bea saw him as Marcus's terrier who would snap and bark at his enemies, prompting Bea to turn up the heat.
"That's what I found you to be in the situation yesterday," replied Bea, before turning on a more patronising tone. "Now Freddie, are we in a situation where, for the third day running, you are going to be maintaining negativity," she asked rolling her eyes.
"No, not at all. I'm very in favour of promoting positivity," replied Halfwit. "But, the things you said to me last night have massively reinforced any negative feelings people have had towards me."
"Take some responsibility Freddie," hissed Bea, "you having a go at me did you no favours. I thought Marcus struggled with cause and effect, but I think you struggle even more," she added snidely.
"So, I called you out on something," replied Halfwit, "and you punished me by selling me down the river."
"Stop causing trouble Freddie. Stop looking for it and stop causing it," Bea snapped back at him with crocodile tears forming in her eyes.
"Leave it out and stop meddling," she shouted before Halfwit upped and left.
Hey Bea, go easy on the fella...
Put down the bone!
