They're taking the hobbits to Isengard.

[dozzer19]

(Thursday) Must travel through Fanghorn to visit Scary Granny today but have no hobbits to offer up as sacrifice. With luck if I enter with the others she will assume I chipped in too. Hopefully I will return for 8/3 on Friday.

[misswobble Graduate]

"Hopefully" ???? That sounds a bit non-commital Dozzer me old mate. How so ? You can't dither on these issues. There's a war on!

Sharpening me broad sword ready for today's sweep.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Hiding out at Isengard as we speak. Will be running if I escape is what I mean. Won't be dobbing out tomorrow as long as I can extricate myself in one piece. Will report more later.

[spoonierunning Graduate]

There is no hopefully there is only the next battle, the war goes on.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Yes but I have to escape Isengard in one piece.

[AncientMum Graduate]

I'm guessing you're using 'hopefully' as a means of confusing the enemy - will he or will he not run? sort of thing. A cunning plan Sir, very cunning!

[waletta Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

See, didn't think of that. That's clever. Personally I think the enemy will guess something's up when it hears/sees a very noisy weather balloon hovering. I have an arrow free at the moment. Just say the word.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Will put out news when freedom is achieved.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Captain Waletta don't you dare, that's my encouragement balloon.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Would be a super point but case is have to flee Isengard to be able to run.

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

This may be a daft question Sir but can't you just run away from Isengard? That way you get your run done and you get to flee at the same time. Crafty eh?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Well yes, but I'd have to leave my carriage behind. Besides I'd not got my go-faster boots with me

[Beek Graduate]

You are all stark staring bonkers! But we like you

Thanks for the laughs, silly people.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Beek]

That's us! Laugh on, oh and run too.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Not so sure about this Beek. I've been threatened today & I was trying (to be helpful)

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Oi! Trouble maker!

[waletta Graduate]

Ok Ok I take your point but I was only going to put a small hole, little tear in it & only then if that's what was wanted. I wasn't talking about grenades or dynamite.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Captain Waletta don't you dare, that's an order.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Could be useful if close to enemy lines when trying to escape.

[misswobble Graduate]

While you were dealing with insubordination in the ranks I was liberating Isengard. The way is free. Onward to victory!!!!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Well I'm still stuck in Sauron's main HQ with no chance of flight. You could have liberated me while you were ther!

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Would you fit it Grandad's wheelbarrow? We could maybe smuggle you out undercover of darkness.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thanks for the offer but have just made it out of the theatre tunnel and over the wall with my 2 x 30 feet of rope. I didn't even need the wire cutters from the kitchen!

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

If I wasn't looking forward to Pugsey's party so much I would start to feel victimised. "Oi trouble maker" indeed. I know the road to Hell is paved with good intentions (I don't know this from personal experience but so I've heard) but my intentions have been good. Stop picking on me.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Sos. Just the tension building up for tomorrow.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

That's okay then. I'm more excited for Poppypug than I was for myself graduating. Glad you made it over the wall.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Corporal poppypug (ents div) has brought this up to a whole new level. Not heard from her today. Expect she's psyching herself up for tomorrow.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Can I borrow it next week for my big day?

[dozzer19 Graduate]

New picture!

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Both your generosity and my excitement know no bounds!

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Spiffing!

[misswobble Graduate]

Soz Doz, I didn't realise you needed liberating as well as clearing the route through of baddies for you. A woman's work is never done! I know you warriors can't multi-task so I should have realised! Tut

So is all set for the big push?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Yep, having got my act together and silenced the egg-laying birds I've done my last 28 minutes. Tension is beginning to mount for next week.

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Yay

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Nothing will stop me now - as long as I don't fall under a bus.

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Shhhhhh don't give the enemy ideas!!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Mmm, loose tongues, I especially should know better.

[misswobble Graduate]

Careless talk costs lives!

So what's the tactics for next week ?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Keep an eye out for the enemy whilst concentrating on the trolley 40m ahead. Metres that is, not miles.

[misswobble Graduate]

Right! Got that! Over and out!

Overt manoeouvres are go!!!! You won't see me as I'm all in camo! No, not commando! Tsk, the very idea

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

NCO misswobble! None of that filth thank you! I hope you're not giving prospective members of the team misleading examples of our behaviour. We are completely above board apart from trolley theft, violence against the Bingo Babes (that's only one member- Gobby Brenda) and occasional forgery of sick notes.

[misswobble Graduate]

Soz Doz. Slinks to the back of the ranks

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

S'ok. Others are putting about that our jd's is jack daniels!
