HARD GRAFT
I distinctly recall telling Mama, NO manual labour.
What does she land me with?
Sorting out dreary pool gear:
Bore.
It's moments like this that I regret not educating my daughters better so that they could have passed me pocket money to stay on the Isle, married to Safeways' graveyard shift.
Once a loser, always one, I guess.

Weird that you mention "loser", as I'd just read about the unique status of that word in the English language. ("The English language"? Why must I over-write? Why??)
"Badger" don't say much; in fact you assume he's sleeping. Then, just when least expected, he fires off a succinct comment. In this case, a rather silly piece of writing by Richard K. Morgan, affecting to take "a long, hard analytical look at what has to be one of the most obnoxious words in the English language--the word loser".
What a gift of a subject, even for the most obtuse spaz in the Lower Remove.
*Still* RKM manages to fudge it.
