Mark's mum, Marie, is buying a new apartment.
We all went to have a captain's. Gorgeous.
We were inside with her agent and the selling agent, Marie drags me over to a corner and sort of tries to make herself flat against the wall and beckons me over in the loudest whisper you have ever heard. Her hearing aids are not so good.
Anyway I got the giggles and said "What is it Mata Hari?"
She didn't hear me.
Marie then mimed and shouted at the same time, "SHUSH, DON'T MENTION THE PRICE. DAVID IS NEGOTIATING. HE IS THE PROFESSIONAL".
David, The Professional, is about 20 years old and the size of a small jockey. He might be missing on Melbourne Cup Day.
MATA HARI TOLD ME HE WAS DOING HER A BIG FAVOR...I SAID, MUM, HE'S GETTING A COMMISSION -- DOUBLE IN FACT! THAT'S ONE SMART JOCKEY
