Will there be chicken sandwiches?

 

Afraid not Big H there wasn't much left after DD had finished with it- she's very partial to chicken. Mind you knowing my luck she probably won't get incinerated with me so I think you and her would get along famously. Happy Hippo & Devil Dog sounds right for Saturday night TV don't you think.

Hell's bells, Blofeld has nothing on you when it comes to dreaming up evil, vicious and terrifying punishments. You don't work for CC Industrie do you?

 

Dave

It's easy to break a prisoner's resistance to interrogation if you know which buttons to press.

 

The horror is not just knowing the locos are going green, but the brutality of the upcoming paint job being applied with a 2" brush previously used for sweeping swarf off a lathe.

 

As an independent consultant I am often employed in many roles, but my favourite is that of a trouble shooter.

 

If you have someone causing you trouble, I will shoot them!

Well, as it happens, we could use your services over 'ere, big time 😀

I've worked with Devil Dogs before:

 

Well, certain elements of  USMC Force Reconnaissance who are indeed Devil Dogs.

 

And when they say they've got your back, they really have.

Well an update on my previous posting.

 

What I didn't include, as I tend to ramble on a bit. You hadn't noticed. Oh you are kind. Is that following the 'incident' I managed to assault myself with a crowbar. So I now have a nice shiner.

 

Obviously God starts off simple and only resorts to the Bolt of Doom when all else fails.

 

Well off to walk DD. Wish me luck.

A couple of weeks ago we were looking after some animals for friends, including an 18 month old Alsatian bitch. She isn't a devil dog, in fact she is very friendly and playful but there's the rub. Her idea of play is what some would call boisterous but others, including Jill, call explosive. We've still got the bruises and scars to prove it.

I'm in deep do dahs with the local vicar.

I am certain that you won’t be In trouble for long. I am sure vicars in such circumstances are supposed to turn the other chick.

You are making an assumption there, what happens if it was a lady vicar

It was Rev. Green, in the library with the lead piping.

On devil dogs, from this,

 

To this in three months-

 

 

[Winslow Boy]

Well still alive, just.

 

You recall that my last posting mentioned that I was of out to walk DD.

 

Well DD did get her walk, however I nearly got knocked off by a golf ball. The fact that I happened to be on a golf course at the time is purely coincidental. And yes I did check to see if there were any ninja hippos about and there weren't. So you have to admit that the chap (chapess? ) Upstairs is fairly resourceful.

 

I reckon if I get through to tomorrow I should be okay. However I'm not taking any chances and will be avoiding ladders, black cats and definitely golf courses.

 

Ian of a sore neck due to having look behind all the time.

@Winslow Boy you need to find some way of atoning for devil dogs actions. May I suggest the building of a shed .

 

I do have access to a tame Vicar prices on a sliding scale usually paid for in Whisky, Pendyrhyn is perfectly acceptable.

That's when I realised that in your case GWR means Great Whooshing Rectum.

Sounds to me like the vicar brought in the Old Bill to prefer a charge of chicken stealing and during questioning as alternative to, "He walked into a door," or, "He fell down the steps Guv, honest," a new and interesting variation was tried, as in, "He hit himself with this crowbar he was carrying; straight up, he did. Never seen nuffink like it."

 

I bet Jamie will be impressed.

Sounds like the cost of redemption has gone up to 2 sheds.

I once arrested a man who gave himself 2 black eyes in the process. Honest guv it wasn't me.  He was trying to steal lead from the roofvof our former police station after closure. He was on top of the canteen and decided to jump down i to a passageway. Landed on both feet and hit his head on his knees.  We were all on the other side of the wall.

Let me sleep on it and if I'm still alive in the morning I'll let you know.
