Burney turned on him like the vicious running dog, imperialist lackey pig he is (spurred on by his partner in pompousity and pretentious cuisine - Sir C). So noble Jorge, outraged by the virulence of the attack, farked off.
And Burney, despite knowing that Jorge's absence has left this board sparse and lacking interest, refuses to offer an apology. An apology that a man of even half the intellect he professes to possess, would have proffered a long time ago.
It wouldn't have to be long and demeaning. Just "Sorry Jorge, I was a complete ****" would probably do.
