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?

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

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?

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 ?
