    And a couple of small purchases made using petty cash already set aside for such things means I am claiming today as NSD number 4 !!!

    I'll pass on the lobster shandy, Igor, it gives me chronic wind.

    So Nargle,I take it you won't be trying the lobster mini quiches that Cheffie spent hours creating,after suffering a nasty accident involving a lobster claw up the delicate Swedish hooter. :rotfl::rotfl:
    Let's just say that he's not in the best of moods.

    What's that, Igor? You say there is a huge open air pop concert at Nantucket , New England, on Saturday, with a firework display as well?
    The NSD gang love a bit of music, I'll have words with our esteemed leader and see if we can get a coach trip, or rather a Tardis trip, organised....And Mrs Doyle can pack the sandwiches, and we can take a few crates of Fartinge Bishoppe ale as well.....

    Igor,I hope that the tardis is all spick and span.I shan't settle for less...

    Extra loo roll? Check.
    My secret stash of gin? Check.
    Ear plugs? Check.
    Bribe money for when we all inevitably get arrested and thrown in jail? What there's only £17.52..... That's not very much.Mmmm,who can I blackmail.....?

    Mrs Doyle is busy making the sandwiches.She decided to change things about and make egg,which we haven't had for ages.
    Mrs Doyle,do we really need 256 420 tea bags?You don't think that it's a bit excessive...?
    I'm not sure we have room in the tardis for all those tea bags.

    What have we forgotten?

    Ah yes,do the voles have visas?

    I hope you enjoy your ice cream Knit Witch!

    How's the knitting going?Did Hubert say that he was hoping you could make him another pair of hot pants since his split during his Zumba class?
    Igor too may need another pair of you-know-whats.... :eek:
    I've never known anyone to go through so many pairs of unmentionables the way he does.

    Now freeby,with 4 nsds out of 6,I wouldn't say you're a numpty.

    marmite, I hate to say this, but....the voles have somehow got into your gin supply. They have chewed great holes in all the toilet rolls (better wear gloves when you use it, yeuch!), munched their way through Mrs Doyle's egg sandwich mountain causing great gusts of sulphurous wind throughout the house, and done something unmentionable on Igor's best set of unmentionables.

    They are now parked in front of the door to the Tardis and are waving placards and chanting We Shall Not Be Moved.

    In short...the voles have been re-vole-ting.

    Bertha,I really must protest most strongly about your voles.They're not very well behaved,are they?!
    And they've used up all the hot water again.

    After shamelessly guzzling away all my emergency gin stash,to make matters worse,they've made a loo roll nest in my 18 hour girdle drawer and are currently sleeping it off....

    No I do not want to borrow some of Hubert's donkey spanx,thank you very much.

    And what is that smell?

    (Bertha pipes up to explain they are not her voles, they nest in Helga' s beard, and Bertha was only borrowing them for her mobile hairdressing business to demonstrate what a vole fur wig looks like.)

    Make sure you get more toilet rolls, Igor, we don't want to be caught out at the concert tonight. Although if we will all be eating Mrs Doyle's egg sandwiches then we won' t be using the facilities much, eggs having a solidifying effect on the system......Hubert, what is that you are wearing? Oh, you are trying out one of marmite's 18 hour girdles, nice......
