Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after __36__ thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head __37__ his walking stick．McKay’s wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a __38__ person, he had been __39__ to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often．

       Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a __40__ collector．Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay’s, or too often, on the McKays __41__．

       “For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our __42__,” said Laurene．She added that it wasn’t so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant __43__ bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks．“We’d be __44__ there happily reading our newspapers, when __45__ so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we’d __46__ with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the __47__ of fish!”

       And on Saturday evening it was just too __48__．“It was James’s birthday,” explained Laurene, “and I’d made him a birthday cake．The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn’t get to blow them out．” __49__, Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet __50__．Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast．“I couldn’t __51__ him．He was up there in a flash．It was the fastest I’d seen him move since 1964．”

       Smith is not going to take things further with the police．He has also promised to change his__52__ from now on．And what of James McKay? __53__ he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”．“__54__ the most exciting birthday __55__!” said the cheerful old man．“The best since my adolescence I’d say!”
