"Business! Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" -the ghost of Jacob Marley

After giving me a right going overwhilst claiming I owed him a fiver and something about keeping my mitts off his sister. After a hard won battle I escaped and crawled back inside to warmth and the hum of the fridge, vowing to drive the bolt home in future. Twas nearly a transcendental experience.
