What’s the French for Oo-Rah?

Anyone who had spent any amount of time with Neil knew his repertoire after a while. It went from him being laugh out loud funny in the first couple of years, to more of a pained groan whenever he cracked the same jokes now. He wasn’t just tolerated though, he was loved and made the world a better place to be.

Apart from his ever-changing voice in whatever accent or impression he felt like doing, and the constant film references which I rarely understood, he was a born inventor and had never given up on anything that others had declared as ‘fucked’. He even relished the thought of fixing something that had been branded as ‘properly fucked’, like it was some kind of personal challenge. I’d watched him once coaxing an outboard motor back to life, acting like an emergency room doctor on some American hospital drama as he feigned working on it desperately, telling his young French assistant to “Charge paddles to two hundred,” before loudly declaring, “clear!” and pretending to zap it as it sparked and coughed into reluctant life. After that he had switched into Doctor Frankenstein himself and cackled that it lived, it lived, and drawing a small but bewildered crowd.

If I hadn’t done what he was joking about for real on Jack, our grizzled old Irish goat of a friend who had lost his life before I had rescued Dan in the act of saving Henry’s, then I might have found it funnier than I did.

Neil’s ingenuity continued, perhaps even increased a few levels when everything from the old world began to slowly wear out and die off. Already, even by then, half of our fishing boats were powered by sail as fuel and engine parts were becoming too difficult to source. There were plans to refit and find more, but they would have to wait until the end of summer when the long days weren’t put to maximum use gathering food.
