We are men of action, lies do not become us.

[dozzer19]

Well now I've put this in I'm obliged to go for 7/1. When I get back I'm going to need sustenance. Can someone pop round to Nan's so it's ready - maybe bacon sandwiches. And Corporal spoonierunning I'm expecting to hear that you've come out of the mess tent today.

[I_will Graduate]

BLTs?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to I_will]

I think nan might need this translating but sounds good!

[misswobble Graduate]

Here, have one of my home made energy bars

I reckon I should start eating em before I go running rather than when I get back. LOL

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Does it have lots of nuts and not so much fruit? Esp dates!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

George Foreman and his esteemed Grills of Wonder cook healthy everything!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Girls of Wonder - can they join our fight against tyranny?

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Of course, dear sir. The enemy, faced with red hot steaming grills, will not know what to do. They will cower in presence of our mighty George Foreman Grills of Wonder superiority. Onward, we must go, grilled bacon and breadcakes (they're breadcakes here, though baps is an acceptable term) aloft. CHAAARRRRGGGGGEEEEE! *plays a bugle in a jovial manner*

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Hey, you're in. A bugle to join the music of the triangle, portable lap harp, and squeaking grass will be most useful. It is after all the most war-like. Let's face it, I hardly think Bluey is going to be scared of a triangle. (It doesn't come onto the battlefield with us anyway, just sounds the beginning of the onslaught.) Accompany the Èored down the left flank for me.

[Beads Graduate]

Did you get out? Serious slacking if you didn't, no Jammie dodgers coming your way, I shall find nana's local pound shop and remove them all before she gets there.

Just back from my run, pear, strawberries, blueberries and cottage cheese here for sustenance, topped off by a treat (separately) a toasted crumpet with marmite!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Beads]

Just back and peeled off the floor. Stayed dry until warm down walk when it persisted down to such an extent I couldn't see through the X-ray specs. Very pleased with run though. Encouragement from Captain Waletta even produced that last sixty second burst of speed as well. Now need cocoa and possibly eggy bread as there are no buns, biscuits, cakes in. Nan said I couldn't come in because I was too wet and she wasn't going to let me sit on her DFS Bank Holiday bargain sofa.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Well done Dozzer & pleased with run - It doesn't get much better. 'fraid I have hit trouble Sire. Out just once last week & eating myself out of house & home. So glad that I'm not a witch (despite what my daughter says) & that house is not made out of gingerbread or we'd be homeless. I can confirm Poppypug made mess in mess tent. Not good.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

We cannot sacrifice ourselves daily. We need a rest sometimes. Discipline the ADC for cheek and make her go and buy provisions. If you see Corporal poppypug (ents div) tell her to clear up before I reach the mess tent.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Thank you Sire ADC(not sure what that means) is hiding in her room. I cleaned up mess sire - we have to look out for each other.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

An aide-de-camp is a fancy version of a batman. Your kindness knows no bounds when it comes to caring for others. Corporal poppypug (ents div) will be grateful.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Oh I like this idea. ADC has done the dishes twice today. I like poppypug - a comrade in arms. Btw - not sure going out for more provisions is a good idea until I have the munchies under better control.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

I'll report this to nan so she doesn't give you any dodgers if you go round.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

So kind.

[AncientMum Graduate]

I went posh today for my post-run sustenance - an M&S chococcino muffin. Luckily only one left in the packet or I'd have eaten the lot I was so hungry. Expecting to hear you mentioned in dispatches for an heroic 7/1!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Oh, a chocolate muffin, envy. Yes, 7/1 complete

[dozzer19 Graduate]

May give that a go. On baps would be good. Or is that rude where you come from?

[misswobble Graduate]

Energy bar packed with whatever fruit is in the cupboard. No dates in this batch, but apricots, sour cherries, cranberries, raisins, coconut, seeds, nuts, honey, butter ......... I want one now! Can't have one though cos not been running

I'll make some more up Dozzer

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Sour cherries? Are they the sugar coated ones from the pic-n-mix at the cinema.? I saw some when I went to pick up new superhero actions to use against the enemy.

[spoonierunning Graduate]

I made it out of the mess tent

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Well done, Corporal spoonierunning. But did you run?

[spoonierunning Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Indeed I did sir, battle dog and 1 went out this morning, our battle was won

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Good to hear. Where have you got to in your training?

[spoonierunning Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

9:2

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

What ho, old chap! Good going. I think graduates may need to be promoted into officer ranks.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Peasant.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Luckily for you Captain Waletta says she's cleared up for you.

[misswobble Graduate]

No, not sugar coated sour cherries as in SWEETS, but real dried sour cherries. They're way lush and I put them in the energy bars I make. Just the thing for brave knight food!

Still lying low, having been wounded in the field of battle, but am saving energy reserves ready to return more powerful than ever

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Ah well, it was worth a try. The little bears are better anyway. I hope they're treating you well in the field hospital. Any other suggestions for brave knight food. Someone said to try Gary Baldi's biscuits. Might see nan about that.

[misswobble Graduate]

Well, I should think the Garibaldi would be your biccie of choice being as he was a fighter of note; a general in fact! An army marches on its biscuits when all said and done. Get Nan on the case. I think they have some in Poundland

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

I'll send nan out to look for some Gary's then. Any suggestions? I think there is one Gary at our local - he has a Saturday job there. Maybe he could get us a discount.
