    Got to NSD3 on Wednesday. On my way to London with DH - a major seriously startling treat - so no NSDs for me this weekend but that's fine, we're going to have fun!

  • Toyed with the idea of a takeaway tonight.

    decided to make a casserole from the freezer instead resulting in 9/12 NSDs

    Cheers, MIB x

    Spendy day for me today (Saturday).
  • Igor, why are you slathering on that foul aftershave your sisters got you for your birthday? It stinks to high heaven, and you haven't shaved since last month!

    Oh, you thought you saw signs of female human life on that island we're approaching? We shall see....but in the meantime get rid of that aftershave, it's rancid! I hate to think what kind of life form would be attracted to that smell. Go on, scrub yourself till the stink has gone!

    Oh-oh, too late! Watch out, Igor!

    Tiddles! Put Igor down, you don't know where he's been.....

    Igor,come back...don't go to that island...there be cannibals,yikes!!! :eek:

    Everyone,we are leaving,anchors away!

    Now...what happened to that treasure again...and,no,I'm not talking about that crumpled tenner you found behind the cistern...I'm talking about diamonds,rubies,gold,pieces of eight and a stack of golden Crunchie bars?
    Did Scroggins and his bunch of pirate bad boys get away with all of it?I was having one of my headaches at the time,so just need a bit of an update....

    We need to set a course,so,thinking caps...what is our next,very crafty move,shipmates and ship's donkey (note voles excleded)?

    We can only assume, captain marmite,that the treasure is still in the hands of that scurvy seadog Scroggins, and he and his crew are holed up on that island, which as you say is infested with cannibals.

    Now I seem to remember us having a holiday on a tropical island once, and keeping the local cannibals quiet with a potent brew made by Igor and Chef - if they can find the recipe, we can take a few barrels of this stuff on to the island and invite Scroggins and his crew and the locals to drink it in a "peace conference". We, of course, will have the "extra strong Adam's Ale" I.e. water (hear that, Igor? Don't get the drinks mixed up!)

    When Scroggins, his crew of varmints and the cannibals are unconscious, we will of course leg it with the treasure! Good plan, hey?

    There be a little drawback to that plan, captain - your stock of Valium (including the stash inside your peg leg) will be required. I know you will be happy to take one for the team.

    All clear, me hearties? Igor and Chef - get brewing!
    One life - your life - live it!
  • Tis a cunning plan Able Seawoman Nargle,a cunning plan....sigh....so you know about my extra top secret stash of valium extra strength 'knock 'em out' tablets....'mutters under her breath'

    Right,we'll follow your cunning plan,wise woman....

    Surely nothing can go wrong?

    'kick Igor'

    Get brewing lads!

    And,Hubert,get some clothes on please.You look ridiculous prancing around in spanx and high heels!
