A houseful of men

icarusI have one kitty snoring next to me. Yes, he snores. We call it the snore-squeak.
In the kitchen I have neatly arranged two men, happily playing with outdoor catalogues and making gruff noises at eachother. "It's a fucking shit pack. They say this is some great outdoor bag..."
"Did you use it on your PCT trip?"
"Oh, it was all right on board the ship, but not for on the fuckin' trail. I don't need a four season tent either. Four season's a waste a time unless you're a mountaineer."
"Well actually at MSR they have some light four-season tents. But there's no point unless you move up here. Where you are now, you can get away with a three-season year round. You need to deal with the chiggers and ticks though, so you need free-standing."
All delivered in a monotone, in what I call the 'outdoorsman's mumble.' *smirks*
Ah, men. *listens to the kitty snore*

Date: 2004-11-13 10:41 pm (UTC)Percy gets credit for 'rescuing' the prisoners from the Ministry and wins the election against his father.
He's a lousy Minister however, indecisive and easily swayed by public opinion. He quickly discovers that it was very convenient under Lucius to have employees who are obligated to obey. A free Ministry is very different.
But there are a lot administrative efficiencies and improvements he makes. Floo connection requests and that sort of thing go through more quickly. He also renames quite a few buildings after himself (a fact that annoys Ron).
Percy loses the next election, and then settles into the lucrative business of publishing his voluminous and rather padded memoirs, referring to his tenure as Minister as a sort of golden age.
