soop Wed 20-Jun-12 16:59:04

A final word from me, nellie...*behave*...as only you know how! grin

soop Wed 20-Jun-12 16:59:48

Anagram I missed that one! grin

jeni Wed 20-Jun-12 17:11:59

This gets worse!

soop Wed 20-Jun-12 18:21:05

I'm glad it's going to get dark.

Anagram Wed 20-Jun-12 19:14:01

Dark? Do you mean dark as in lack of daylight, or...*dark*?

Anagram Wed 20-Jun-12 19:14:35

Why don't the asterisks work for words other than our usernames? confused

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 19:35:27

Privates as in soldiers....If I make pete a corporal and give him two stripes he might come over all bossy..and this is my game so I'm in charge...and yes will be separate sleeping bags and separate ditches if he's has been eating onions he can blow his own cover,I will share with Donald,although I won't keep him out too late as he has to get up for his paper round in the morning...last night I heard rustling in the rhubarb....sshhhh.

jeni Wed 20-Jun-12 19:39:40

If he's a BIG private would you make him a major?

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 19:47:48

Only if he stands to attention and salutes me

Elegran Wed 20-Jun-12 19:49:03

anagram I have noticed that the asterisks only work if there is a space before the first and after the second of them. You had dots just before and a question mark Just after.

Anagram Wed 20-Jun-12 20:01:02

Ah! Thanks, Elegran! smile

jeni Wed 20-Jun-12 20:16:59

nellieconfused do you outrank him them?

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 20:20:39

Of coursejeni it's my game...

jeni Wed 20-Jun-12 20:53:49

hmm well have a good time you two and play nicely together! Remember GN is watching you!
Make sure Donald is in bed early enough!

I'm for an early night! I'm tired and have another tribunal tomorrow.

Goodnight all!

Anagram Wed 20-Jun-12 20:57:33

Pete Wed 20-Jun-12 22:14:34

Can't believe it......I'm at the 'old mill' by the stream...and no one is here !! Head is boiling in this balaclava.....Think I'll head off to the pub and catch last orders, getting sick of these bats now.... smile

gramps Wed 20-Jun-12 23:31:14

Hi Pete. I'm still rambling around in the dark - tripped over a courting couple earlier, don't know who they were, but NOT any one I recognised by the language. I think it was foreign, but I understood the general gist of it!!
I hope this fog clears soon, I'm starving and thursday (or friday) without me "hardtack" rations!!
Be a good bloke and use your very pistol, if you have one! Ta muchly!!

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 08:27:51

You can get arrested wandering in the dark in a balaclava it leads to all sorts of misunderstandings,especially in the dark.
Any excuse to go a.w.o.l. And head off to the pub.
Ahh a new recruit pte gramps....we have dads army...don't panic cpt mainwairing.
Hope pete took his balaclava off in the pub.
Donald up and out early for his paperound,he delivers up by the old mill by the stream found evidence of some malarkey amongst the bulrushes.

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 11:57:19

nellie Pete Gramps...I'm so enjoying these escapades. I'm wearing a huge grin

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 11:58:37

Ps Forgot to mention Donald would he be the regimental mascot?

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 12:16:51

gramps The fog lifted now so get yourself home for a Full English smile Don't use my pistol much but it's kept in good order by regular polishing. Only just made it to the pub, as there seemed to be lots of 'goings on' around the mill. The Landlady was about to close up, but said I could have 'a quick one in the back room' Well one turned into a few (think she was impressed with my uniform and balaclava) ....Woke up under the pool table........all in the line of duty grin

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 12:19:48

Pete Seems to me that naughty nellie put you and Gramps through your paces. Did you pass her rigorous kit inspection! grin
