    Good evening me hearties

    All set for the Jolly Ennessdee, sporran polished and brushed, kilt adjusted accordingly.
    I'm squeezing my NSD for today - #17 TARGET REACHED!!!
    I say squeezed, cos I had to rescue OH today. His car wouldnt start on his way home from work so I had to pick him up. It required a new battery and as OH didnt have his wallet, guess who had to stump up. I will get th money back from him so Im still claiming my NSD! Is that bad?

    Please increase my target to 20 Spoon, I'm going for it!;)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Ahoy there, NSD-ers one and all! Tonoight's the noight when poirates bold gather together for their annual Apple Day convention in sunny Zummerzet!

    I see Big Mumma and Keiss have sorted out the rigging and the navigation equipment - after those two Irish Idiots Jon O'Gold and Cox O'Rangepippin have messed things up!

    (Note to censors - pirates do not do Political Correctness. Whaddya mean, one does? Egremont Russet? Curses! I knew that swab would be trouble, ever since I saw the stilettos in his luggage.....)

    Now where be that Tardis? Mistress Spoon? I bet she's drunk and passed out again and forgotten to pick everyone up.....

    Ah harrr! Curses! It's even worse than I feared - Egremont Russet is Spoon in disguise.....all we need now is Jinty turning up in a kilt with a skull and crossbones on the sporran claiming to be Mac the Red.....
