Science and Maxwell tried, and failed, to make up this afternoon when Science's explanation for last night's barney turned into another argument.
Science told Maxwell he didn't mean to throw a bin at him; it had simply slipped out of his hand.
"It was an accident," he insisted.
"It weren't no accident," Maxwell asserted. Not only did he not believe Science, he wanted an apology.
"Apology for what?" said Science.
"That's what I mean," said Maxwell. "Idiot."
Maxwell told Science that he could understand why he had "the raving hump" after getting wet and falling over. "You fell on your a*** and looked like a tit." But he couldn't understand why, if it was an accident, he didn't apologise immediately.
Science swallowed his pride saying, "I'm sorry. Do you accept my apology?"
"I'll think about it," said Maxwell.
But Maxwell doesn't accept the apology graciouslyUnimpressed, Science insisted he wasn't being aggressive last night and if he had, Maxwell would know about it.
"Well done. Really clever," said Maxwell.
"I'd rather be edgy than two-faced," retorted Science, opening a new front.
Maxwell demanded to know in what way he had been two-faced, but Science could only tell him it was his intuition that led him to conclude Maxwell was duplicitous.
"I'm well not," Maxwell said. "Your intuition's rubbish."
"I don't reckon," replied Science.
At least they tried...
