Plenty in the back office. I didn’t trust leaving it in the cellar with the Admiral (and Laura) around. Couple of boxes of pork scratchings and some stale pork pies… that should see them sorted.

Off for the ?. Hic! Will return later ???.

?‍????‍??‍??‍? Nee-naw ?nee-naw ! Ooh Doodle the blues’ntwos are here, just like you promised if I set the bonfire ? off early beehayvd mysen!

The Watch manager said we can watch them stripping ?‍♀️ running out their hoses and we can attend to his crew when they’ve knocked off and made up....I’m off to slip into something more slutty ahem, comfortable...????

I am frantically interviewing for an 'Archer' - no, not that one. If it's good enough for the Hadrian's Wall lot's beacons, then it's good enough for us. If no joy, it'll have to be one of us.
?Are bowls and arching interchangeable skills??

Shootya Indahead has just shown up - any use ixion?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 20:58:37

Brilliant Brook he’s just who we need. Got his own bows and arrows too. Ixion he will light your beacon (no Pants that’s not an euphemism ?)
Well if GSM and Pants are both dressing up I suppose I’d better too. Do you like the outfit

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 21:00:26

WAaaaa!! Help! Help! Save Me! Save me! Quick, quick, Quicker! Those corgis are Wild Savage Beasts ?. I've managed to escape but they're hot on my tail any excuse to attract the attention of a hunky?‍?--. Gimme a swig pint of poteen Doodle, pPleeeease.

ixion Thu 02-Jun-22 21:02:23

I've got a possible lined up too (my predictive, fat fingered typing rendered lubed up, but TMI, I guess) brook.

What do you think? Should we vote on it?

Chuck them the poteen, ?.
It'll take effect faster on the dogs than on you (no nasturtiums intended?)

brook2704 Thu 02-Jun-22 21:08:26

Oooh yes ixion I’m sure she’s just what we need ?

brook2704 Thu 02-Jun-22 21:09:33

You ok cherry? That was a lucky escape

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 21:11:35

Why didn't I fink of that Ixion ?. You are clever, Marydoll was obsolly a good teacher ?

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 21:13:39

They've been following me all day brook do you fink it's coz I'm Welsh ?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 21:15:06

Er……I hate to ask but that’s not May Hem is it? ?. I’d heard she’d taken up archery.
Its ok Cherry fear not. I’ve set Alarma on them. The corgis (along with everything else) are terrified of her when she gets a strop on).
You come back and have a rest in the corner with Thor. He’s used to comforting damsels in distress and George Clooney will make you a coffee.

brook2704 Thu 02-Jun-22 21:16:35

Think they’re after the sausage rolls Cherry - just how many did you stash away in your pockets?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 21:21:20

Cherry ! No wonder they were after you.
Don’t worry I’ve solved the problem and just jammed a donut round their necks

Ooh, it’s William Tell with his Overtures ? - he mustn’t be setting my beacon alight before I’m ready...And he’s trying to get me all over his of a quiver! I’m falling into the brambles of delinquency again ?

Chuck 'em one of your Welsh cakes ?.
That'll floor 'em

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 21:39:16

Ooh Pantglas I bet you have a tale to tell about William's overtures.

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 02-Jun-22 21:43:00

Well here I am, all clean and fragrant ? and dressed up ??? ready for fun. Ouch!!! Those corgis have got sharp teeth!!! Help!!!!!!

CherryCezzy Thu 02-Jun-22 21:52:08

Haven't they just GSM, mind your ankles 'specially in those ?

ixion Thu 02-Jun-22 22:07:15

I'm here, Maid Marian, ready for the action.
Glad we haven't got one of those ghastly gas jobs I have just seen on the telly. Not my idea of a beacon
Where's your chap brook? Is he, er, accurate?

Doodle Thu 02-Jun-22 22:18:26

Yes it’s dark now time to light the beacon and the fireworks.
I’m so excited.
By the way I stumbled across this at the castle in the park.
I thought it would help our finale go with a bang.
Er..does anyone know how we load it. Pants I bet you’ve got a stiff git in explosive productions

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 02-Jun-22 22:19:45

I’ve got some ??? in my ?, should keep the little blighters happy. I could murder another poteen. I say, is that George ❤️❤️❤️ over there? I’ve come over all unnecessary…?

ixion Thu 02-Jun-22 22:23:06

You just pack the hole, ram the stuff up with a long stick with a soft tip and put a match to it?
