Dear Mr Blib

Forgive my absence over the last few days. Busy, busy, busy.

May I just nudge you on Pantaloons?

My people have been trying to get your definitive opinion on maximum gusset volume.

An early reply would be appreciated.

Yours, etc.

Will this be picked up on terrestrial TV, or will it be on pay per view only, along with some exorbitant fee?

I'm led to believe that the event will be recorded by the Archdeacon using a Betamax camcorder.

I'm certainly looking forward to it, I think I'll put my name on the list for a copy of the tape.

At least you've managed to stay awake, normally by now you've fallen asleep in a heap in a place which causes maximum disruption with your tackle on show!!!!

On a recent trip abroad - the Paliafilis Barn Find, which turned out to be most underwhelming - I could not help but notice that out continental friends are considerably more teaspoon aware than the British.


A simple illustration was the matching of sugar sachet to ones chosen spoon. A simple but effective habit that adds an intangible quality to ones beverage.

It was gratifying to see that each of my travelling spoon set was able to be matched.

Dear Mr 55Palfers.

Standard, 240 litre pantaloons, elasticated gusset, no more than 25.9cm fully extended, colour optional (No charcoal inserts, obviously).

Do you have a preference on return flanges? And, where would you like to be laid to rest after I utterly destroy you, you paltroon?

Have a nice day.

Am sanguine on flanges. NATO standard I suppose.

Ah, I prefer to speak softly and carry a big spoon Mr Blib.

As if we don't have Health & Safety all over us as it is, you propose viewing from a tree. Oh, if you must I suppose.

Risk Assessment on my desk by 2 o'clock sharp, please. That's tea time at the latest.

I'm getting more than a little concerned about the fact that neither of the combatants has submitted their spoons tor the correct inspections to take place, these things take time you know, I can't have people flinging their spoons at me at the last minute expecting me to perform the necessary checks, alterations, balancing and buffing in a mere 24hrs, what sort of spectacle are you organising here?

We're not organising spectacles, we're providing a dozen sets of opera glasses. If this doesn't meet with your approval I suggest you take it up with the committee.

Dear Blib, I respectfully direct you to rule11 clause 3.2.8 as already submitted in earlier correspondence, failure to submit your tool Dueling Spoon for the Required testing/buffing/fondling/balancing can result in removal of the spoon from your person by force if necessary!!

Dear Blib
It has come to my attention that you are having issues with the rules. May I remind you that we have the coordinates of the Place Of Duel and HMS Belfast is standing Ready for this very occurrence.
In the event of further refusal to comply we will, by virtue of the powers vested with us (id est Rule 192 para xi: Settling Unruly Behaviour: Fire At Will), start a creeping barrage across your end of the Duelling Ground using our 8” guns. This being recorded as a handicap on your score sheet.
We respectfully suggest you withdraw any ideas of further poor behaviour and hand over your spoon for the requisite purpose ie balancing and counter boring.

Yours

Revd Xavier Hamilton Pushfit (Rtd)
