Hello,
'Yippee! Detlef is back! Where has he been, boss?'
Er ... that wasn't Detlef, Voice. That was Hayley.
'But he's back though, isn't he? Detlef is back.'
Yeah, of course. He'll have something to say in a minute.
'But where has he been?!'
I don't know. Maybe a career break. I don't know.
'A career break?!'
Yes, Voice. These characters have career breaks, you know. To recharge their batteries or something. They're not like us.
'They don't know the meaning of hard work.'
Ha! Well, I wouldn't say that, man.
Anyway ...
Please see attached the LSEG Lipper European Fund Industry Trends report for July 2023, authored by Detlef Glow, Head of Lipper EMEA Research at LSEG.
Thanks, Hayley!
'She's new!'
Yeah.
We just like the key points though ...

Great!
She's gone back to the old way of doing it. No bullet points. I had to edit those out with that other guy.
'He was getting flash, wasn't he?'
Ha! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's what I've always said.
Anyway ...
We have the big man himself now.
'Detlef!'
Ladies and gentlemen, he's back!
Mr Detlef Glow - !!! ... ... ...
Detlef?
Er ...
Detlef?
'Where is he?!'
Christ! He's not in the email!
'What?!'
He must be in the attachment.
'Well, open it then, boss.'
No.
'Why not?'
I don't like this new way of doing things.
'Uh.'
The old guy - I can't remember his name - used to quote Detlef in the actual email.
'Never mind.'

Anything else? Poetry?
I've been making even more small changes to my big poem. It's got to be finished now. Please!
Oh, it's finished! Yes.
I can tell you, kooks ... I'm in no rush to write another big poem for a while. They need a lot of revision and polishing. Especially if they're in free verse.
Laters!
