A temporary setback?

Well I sat at my desk and waited.  Nothing happened, so I waited.  Finally I gave in andd returned to the house to make my dinner.  Sherwood's Chicken Tikka - yuk!

Another guy was charring a pigs head with a blowtorch.  Nobody seemed to mind me watching or filming, so I took a few videos. ...
