Hanky doesn't realise people call him out on everything he says because none of it adds up, there's always discrepencies, exaggerations, forgets what he's said and clearly gets frustrated when we don't.
I mean the whole competing thing we all knew it'd go tits up one way or another but then there's all the excuses like didn't book the next day off, em had to drive, another ailment surfaced, all things that a normal person would have covered. It's all predictable but standard behaviour from Hankenstein
