In a statement released this afternoon, a General Dogs Body said that attempts at mediation with Brigadier Flange had reached a point of no return. Despite mediation from Am Drams answer to Kate Aide, a Ms Anne ? Marie, is reported as saying that despite an exchange of coded messages (see Mind Games 11/12th March) the two sides were COUNTIES apart.
The disputed territory (Post) Code ref WC2 HOBN is claimed by both parties. Two star General Dogs Body has 90 to 100 troops plus 50 junior reservists lined up against Three star Brigadier Flanges army of less than 30.
Dogs Body will be battle ready on June 11th and expects a four day engagement, whilst Flange is delaying his onslaught until June 13th and expects that battle will only last two days.
Ms Adie? sorry Anne-Marie reported that she had threatened to use her bouncing bombs on both of them but to no avail. She had been out on the streets canvassing Public opinion of the impending action. A one time lighting tech who would only use his code name of Martin was so concerned that he was preparing to get his Super Troopers out in preparation for the defence of the skies above Guildford. In a long queue for tickets to a show named Shhhh (web site to go live shortly!!), out side the Theatre in Guildford a Maureen of Leicester, Aims from Dartford, and Chris D from Tring denied they were the Super Troopers referred to by Martin. A Mr Eeyore said he would assume the position of his avatar and bury his head in the sand when the time came.
Cha003 was extremely worried as SLT was halfway between Reading and Saffron Walden and should an aerial battle ensue, fall out could land on her Theatre.
Christine had no comment and was preparing to stay hidden under her Toadstool.
Foreign opinion had been counselled and an Australian spokesman referred to as Joe said he did not think the conflict would sink down under.
Zorro could not be contacted as he was busy Lording it with a ring.
Loopy Loupie said she was unsure where both Reading and Saffron Walden were.
The Supplier of weapons to both parties, A Samuel French of London, was unavailable for comment.
We await further news from the battle front.

Looks like I've been missing some fun!

I think I'll keep my head down until I've caught up with the diplomatic wrangling.

May the best man win.

Robin

Your not European by any chance Robin?

Glad to see you back on the board, you can of course claim dispensation from a call up to battle if you claim you are not yet back to full strength!!

WC2 HOBN needs you!

Man of Suffolk, English, British and then a proud member of the Human Race. European - never.

Afraid I'll have to seek dispensation as still not 100% although well on the mend!

Robin

Have to be careful with Robin, man of Suffolk, bit too close to Saffron Waldon for my liking!!. Will send in covert troops to check this one out.

WC2 HOBN needs YOU!

Dogsbody, why aren't you at WORK?

Actually, that report was pretty good. Where does President Jane of Norwich come into all this? And as for Simon............of somewhere near but definitely not in Manchester...?

Looks like the outcome of this could be interesting

Now back to the newsroom for further reports from our correspondents around the country....................


There may be another claimant to the WC2 HOBN postcode but this report is unconfirmed.... we can now go to Maureen for an update.

*sits down with Anne-Marie and Martin on the couch, getting the beers out and the popcorn*

This should be a good giggle....

*munch munch*

Who's got the remote...?

Latest reports in state that President Jane has waded into the conflict and is determined to bring both parties to the table to discuss matters and to try and stop any blood shed. She was seen whispering in ears and buying loads of cream cakes to try and ease the tension.

oh dear....

The wit is REALLy going to hit the fan now... *wink*

Received confirmation from S French that I am clear to take WC2 H0BN on 13th and 14th of June. I shall be putting my elite force through their paces for the first time this evening.
I wonder what that Quisling Maureen is up to? I hadn?t planned on having to defend a second front to my north-west?and if she links up with President Jane in Norwich, a pincer movement down the A14 and A11 could have me in trouble?time for a rethink of strategy.
If anyone wants me, I'll be in my bunker

Martin and his elite force of mercenaries are standing by and ready to assist the camp that possesses the largest budget

Ilike the idea of a bun fight but I'm not too keen on tongues in the ear bit.


WC2 0HBN needs YOU

I thought tongues went in the cheek....... the last time I had one in my ear there were very serious consequences!!!!!!

Ok...

someone explain to me please....
I think I've missed something...

WC2 0HBN

Now my old police Beat was in WC2 and the station was called Holborn...

Weird eh....?

I intend reaching the battle ground along the A400 at Oxford St proceding South towards Long Acre stopping at No. 84!!

AARRGGH They ARE TALKING about Holborn....

I walked around there for 6 years..... (not homeless btw)

But I think they are talknig about a Musical....

84 Charing Cross Road or something like that...

Oh right, I knew they were talking about their play when they're both doing the same one a few days apart, I just didn't get the reference

Thats it Brigadier Flange unite , we have a common foe.....George...thinks the conflict is about a musical ... damn cheek we will eliminate him first for suggest that we will allow singing in our productions after that will will do battle


WC2 OHBN for Ever!!!

George you've hit on a great idea

Lets make ths stuffy old drama into a Musical - I suggest we put it on in June - between 8 - 15. I sugest we rally our forces

Now put these words into one sentence: - brain no techies have

Ooooh Maureen's added to her role as forum cleaner - to clean up all the typos and spellink mhistukes

I wonder what the punishment will be?

Reviewed the troops last night, first rehearsal but was most disturbed by the report fron the producer of WC2 0HBN.

Aparently last week he was starring in our production of Tons of Money and at the end of Act 1 someone tried toblow him up!! with explosives and then at the end of act two someone stole his clothes whist he was out swimming. Was this the work of Brigadier Flange?

Not guilty, I was too busy planning my own assault?sounds like a techie set-up to me?

I said above I did know what is was about, I just didn't understand the WC2 0HBN reference

So................have General Dogs Body and Brigadier Flange decided to kiss and make up yet?

Look it's not difficult

General Dogsbody seems to have gone underground, obviously shocked at how highly motivated my team are. Either that or?
*putting electronic listening device in the ground for signs of tunnelling*

Slight technical difficulties.....tunnel broke surface in what I thought was Saffron Waldon but every body here speaks French. Can't understand a word of what they are saying...ah well back down the tunnel .

WC2 OHBN 11 - 14 th June

TUNNEL??

*sigh* not again....

Which one this time? Tom Dick or Hairy...

Who's got the horse?

And who's the Cooler King?

The sad thing is, George, I actually understand every word of what you've just written!!

*whistles a VERY annoying but catchy tune*

*tries to build a motorcycle glider to escape over the bardwire*

*gives up and just walks out the office door*

Whats going on ...George have you undergone a sex change??...was always suspicious of actors...whats happened to Maureen has she been invaded? ...whats all this coded talk anything to do with Brigadier Flange.. Shinfield Players answer to Bletchley Park is working on it and when we have cracked it we will take ACTION!!!

WC2 OHBN needs YOU11.06.2003-14.06.2003@RG2 9DF..............

I AM NOT GEORGE

I AM NOT MAUREEN!!!!!

I AM A RUSSIAN FEMALE BODY BUILDER CALLED HANS....

I AM UNDER COVER AND A SPY...

DO NOT TELL ANYONE!!!!!! IT'S TOP SECRET!!!!!

YA!

Ok, whatever you say GEORGE :D *wink*

Still no sitings of Maureen ...has she gone under cover for the Brigadier?? is she hiding in a bunker??

WC2 0HBN at a theatre near you!

*peeps over wall*

Is it safe to come out?

Or will someone steal my face again????

[/QUOTE]Have a good weekend, one and all

Dogsy, when I open that page it also opens an ad for Viagra!! What on earth is 84 Charing Cross Road about?!!

Dash it , that was supposed to be the birthday surprise for Brigadier Flange. I was hoping to encounter STIFFER opposition!!!

I think it's a bit much to expect him to be here on his birthday ..... he's no doubt out on the razz tonight. Tomorrow will be the time to get him - he'll be completely FLOPPY
