For those who don’t know, Kato is the character (an oriental gentleman's, gentleman) in the ‘Pink Panther’ films. Kato (played by Burt Kwouk) periodically creeps up on the unsuspecting Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) and attacks him!
The boy Bing I’m sure, must have seen one of the above movies, for he now rather likes the idea of pouncing on the reposed form of the unsuspecting……..quite often me!
Naturally it’s merely a ‘rough and tumble’ and usually ends with us both in a heap, trying to get our breath back……oh, and a mini bonio for the would-be assassin!
I tell you this because this very morning I decided it was high time I sorted out the ‘spaghetti’ of cables residing under the table bearing the VDU, Modem and other paraphernalia which enables this particular household to communicate with folk on the www.
Quite what all these cables do I’m not sure. Frankly I don’t know how safe it will be to unplug some of ‘em......what are they connected to – if anything?
It came to pass… while attempting to unravel what appeared to be at least two miles of speaker cables, the lad pounced!
‘About-you guv!’
Cables became entwined about wrists, ankles, paws and hooter, and finally a redundant microphone whizzed passed my left ear!
‘Pax!’ I cried.
‘A gravy bone or I leap again!’
‘Fair enough.’
Thinking about it, I’ve decided there'll be no chance of the lad watching any Bruce’s Lee, Willis or the ‘Muscles from Brussels’ movies in this household thank you very much!
I’ve also decided for the moment to ignore the offending ‘spaghetti’ – in short, I can't see it so….out of sight, out of………
