The process involved much ladder work and it was noticeable that while Peter W and the lovely Mairi were scaling the heights like Barbary apes shinning up the rigging of a three-master in a heavy sea and a howling gale, cowards Gregor Sloss and Tina the Greek seemed more enthusiastic about the no doubt important task of 'holding the ladder'. The quote, when it eventually appeared, has perplexed many, though really it is quite simple and clearly refers to a Platonic realm unlike the Kantian noumenon in being apprehensible.
However, that's not important. What is important is, did Peter W squeal like a girl when someone rattled his ladder? The answer, disappointingly, is no, though his steely calm might have been largely to do with a determination not to soil his first pair of clean jeans for five months.
