Good as in caused a lot of trouble, as he often does. All right, this was back when we were still in training together and one night Daveboy comes creeping over to my bunk and already I could tell he's got some kind of dumb idea...
[It was a dumb idea all right but it does make for a good story and furthermore Alfred is actually a very good storyteller, his tone of voice is rich and soothing and he fleshes out the story with lots of fun details that allow Karen to fully imagine two young boys creeping away from their army training and into London for some fun. It all went tits up of course but by the time Alfred gets to that part she is fast asleep, her head tilted towards him as if she is still listening.]
