Career break for rider Presly sparks rift
Friction between otherwise good friends, Chris Green and Kenny Presly, rose to an all-time high when both found themselves with time on their hands.
Green, not known for whingeing about his job, heralded the start of his four day week by jet washing his patio with equipment loaned by Presly. Week after week he painstakingly manicured his garden and swept his garage every Tuesday, whether necessary or not. Tension between the couple started when Presly sent Green a seemingly innocent text message, informing him that he was jobless and asking if Green would like a regular Tuesday ride and a bacon sandwich at Wyatt’s Farm Shop.
Green suspected that Presly had purposely lured him away from his garage, knowing that he would no longer be able to uphold the high standards that had won him the coveted “Best Maintained Garage of The Year 2009” award. With no job, Presly took full advantage of his spare time and focussed on his own garage knowing that Green could not compete. He lavished money on expensive cheeses, purchased a large Weber barbeque set and painstakingly chalked outlines of bike tools and components on his walls to taunt Green when he returned the pressure washer.
He later sent Green an e-mail, setting out his plans to index all his spare parts in alphabetical order, something which he knew Green had always dreamt of doing someday. The final straw came when Presly boarded out his loft and boasted to Green about his new stacked and indexed box-storage system.
Resentful and bearing a grudge, Green consoled himself with sandpaper. Knowing that jobless Presly could no longer afford the upkeep on his extravagant 4.8 litre BMW X5, he rubbed away the tread on Presly’s tyres until they were bald.
Scotsman Presly remains surprised and disappointed by Greens actions. “Och, I remain surprised and disappointed by Chris’ actions” he said. Presly added “Och, I ne’er meant it to come to this. I’m more concerned aboot PJ’s bike – I hoop his kitchen is cleaner than his rear mech”.
