The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, by Alan Sillitoe, excerpt from p.27
--------------------------------------------------------- "We've got months to splash the lolly," I whispered as we crossed the yard, "only don't let that gate creak too much or you'll have the narks turning-in." "You think I'm barmy?" he siad, creaking the gate so that the whole street heard. ---------------------------------------------------------- I may as well be reading Chinese. Summer Reading 1, AztecWarrior 0. Can anyone translate this from Mysterious Moon Language to American English?

The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly. |

lolly n. 1. Slang term for money. No idea of the etymology, I'm afraid. 2. A lolly or an "ice lolly" is a sort of frozen sugary flavoured lump wrapped around a small bit of wood and designed specifically to drip all down your front as it defrosts. It's known better in the States as a "popsicle".

The story (which I have finished) proves that British people are no good at anything but sailing and exploring. They fail miserably as writers, cooks, and dentists.
It's something like "Like boggery I'll win that race" and the delinquent kid loses to spite the gov'na. Pip pip cheerio. In all honesty, there is a message in the story, but the language is unintelligable and redundant. And it's an evil message at that.
