859 - PIQUE

ThE film director came to visit the backdrop for a key scene in the film. He came across a dodgy bit of scenery construction. "That will have to be redone - it's such a bodge", he growled. He grunted in approval at the railcar bogie and how it had been positioned at the end of the siding. Just then the tornado alarm sounded and everyone rushed into the saferooms. After the tornado passed they emerged to see the whole set in disarray, or missing completely. The director felt everyone was glowering at him, as if his manner had brought the tornado! He stormed off the site in a fit of pique and sulked for the rest of the day.
