    Both Lee and FG come across very badly in all this.

    Sean O'Rourke sounds exasperated!
    Unenthusiastic about any of the buggers.

    Does any one think this sounds like a big hissy fit by George? He didn't get a big gig straight away and now he's storming off in a huff. Doesn't reflect well on him.
