The upheaval of the process, which differs from their expectation, is perceived in an interested manner, their concentration never diminishing, their condition unchanged. This signifies that they are: independent thinking individual’s, that they are patient and alert, and are able to concentrate on the original motive for their presence, however much they have been side-stepped, and are ultimately able to complete the original task.

            Or possibly that the person is stoned, asleep or dead. All the c-responses seem to indicate complete tulip-heads.

            From the original quoted: Coolly asking the policemen whether it is you that has been shouted at, or a stranger, asking for guidance as to how you should act next.

                Nah, I'm sure for the purposes of this interview he'd be happy to take some time out from his hot pursuit to help you with your reasonable enquiries.

                  I much prefer the wobbly hedgehog,

                    From the context it presumably means "I agree". But I'd never heard of it until a week or so ago, and then everyone on CUK all of a sudden started using it.
