Hello old chap!

I wouldn't go too near that box - the one that's buzzing. Bobberoo's coming over in a bit to sort it out.
Right I've just removed the offending "BOX" and returned it to a "Secure unit!!", now then what's all this about a Fudge doughnut trolley, why wasn't I told about it, I missed the sodding breakfast trolley and now I'm too late for the Fudge doughnut trolley!!! grumpy

Just rang Mrs Jim AK, who Should be on the Kent Coast.

Got an EU ring tone! She says she's in St Margaret's Bay but her phone thinks it's in France apparently ??scratchchin

So her phone is in the place we will be next week. On a recce is it?

I smell a Rat.scratchchin
Bloody French haven't annexed St Margaret's during the night have they?

The Landing Craft's empty now, maybe we should send Battert down there to have a look.

At the very least.

If you're sending the landing craft down best make sure Penrose is off it first, no telling what he'd get upto if the Frenchies have annexed it!!! yikes

Hellfire. Four bloody hours we've been here and the place is turning into a Den of Iniquity already.

Good work Coop. By the way, is she Scottish?

Couldn't quite make out her accent over the noise from the engine.
I know, great isn't it hehe
Not sure of her original origin per se, but the accent was very strange, or it might just have been all the sound deadening on the walls.
Anyway, have I missed the elevenses trolley?

Oh no, I'll leave him on it. He likes going for a jolly with Battert.

Besides, if the French are there they'll be leaving quicker than they arrived...

Sadly, yes. Routine maintenance on our usual Elevenses Trolley meant Battert and Mrs B drafted in the one built for Wellington's funeral. It's big, absurdly ornate and colossally heavy but once up to temperature keeps delicacies warm as far as the Watchman's hut. If anyone sees them struggling along the path by the cricket pitch please lend a hand. Thank you.

It should have been horse drawn really. Cast iron, solid wheels; ridiculous.

Don't worry, it's only Roland.

I found him stowed away on the Sunderland.
He must have swam ashore behind me. The water in the Vol 29 basin is not exactly pure, is it?
I think I may have got crabs in my trousers. frown

As soon as I've finished my piece of tart, I'll be jumping in the tub to freshen up ready for the afternoon Absinthe. lick

I think so. Had Battert not totalled the Fordson we use to mow the Cricket Square over at Trivton Quarry the other week we could have sorted it by now.

I can't see a quick fix to this.....

You'd be surprised. When we ran it on the Avgas soaked hay bales Battert managed a sub 12 second quarter at the 'Pod.

I think we're still banned from there?

I can foresee a small problem here 1) it can't land on the lake along with the Sunderland 2) there is NO way they'll let you taxi that across the cricket pitch and finally can Bomma actually fly it!?!?!?!
