No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again.

[dozzer19]

(Monday) Having completed 9/1 I must continue against the nhs to stop myself getting into jeopardy again. Do we still have the portable lap harp? Distant rattle of bejewelled ocarina, trolley and weather balloon of instruments will still be needed. Two more 30 minute runs to go.

[waletta Graduate]

Not long now. When you've finished can I get my bow & arrow out again?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Meanie. It may not be needed at such volume but its presence must be available if needed. Forwards and onwards.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Ok! Ok, I only asked. Perhaps I could get my ADC to give it a make over.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Mmm, fair idea. She's rather useful isn't she.

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

I'd put it more like "She has her uses".

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Such a touching comment on maternal love!

[MarkyD Graduate]

In light of forthcoming event:

"Serenades with vuvuzela"

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Maybe the could play Land of Hope and Glory. (Actually here was a hobbit out in the lane with one yesterday; I could have done with Captain Waletta and her bow and arrow.)

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Can't kill hobbits Sire. They are mostly good guys. BTW went out to do 30mins for you tonight but only managed 28.5 before hitting a hill. You'll have to do the rest yourself. Do they know you're cheating?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Can't kill hobbits? Oh! Maybe someone should have told me before. I keep knocking them over when I speed past. Cheating, moi?!

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Leave the b hobbits alone.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Go on then, I'll try. As long as they don't laugh when I 'speed' past them. Apart from the bunters they're all no doubt faster.

[misswobble Graduate]

Good plan! KK. Save us one!

Gird thy loins Doz. Zero hour approaches. Take no prisoners!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Take no prisoners! I'm likely to be put in the back of a fast moving vehicle and transported off as a prisoner. Given the heat Zero Hour may be a good time to set off. At least then I wouldn't be visible in my red on red outfit. Maybe graduation to Ace level should bring on the purchase of a new shirt. For obvious reasons, as stated by Edna,without a cape.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

I'll rev the brain up to it today, marmite and running, then go for it tomorrow.

[AncientMum Graduate]

Ocarina ready when needed. Having come so far, 'twould be unsporting to withdraw it from the orchestra in the run up to victory! Mind you, returning to work today, so will need to conceal it up me sleeve and blow surreptitiously when no one looking.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Corking!

[spoonierunning Graduate]

I have rounded up some chickens waiting on eggs for the graduation cake.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Can I have coffee and walnut cake with a glass of cold milk? I'll need a cake fork too. Even warriors have to show good levels of etiquette in the mess tent.

[spoonierunning Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Of course you can, I even have my secret ingredient for the best coffee butter frosting. Erm would a normal fork do? Alas the cake forks are still in Essex.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Top hole. Essex. Is Joey so thick he thinks you eat cake forks?

[waletta Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Tesco do a nice cherry pie.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to waletta]

Will bear that in mind Captain Waletta.

[I_will Graduate]

Onwards and upwards sir! *plays glissandi*

9/3 for me tomorrow! I march forward, lap harp at the ready. I_Will not be defeated!

I will play you to victory also. Any requests? (and don't say Greensleeves!)

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to I_will]

Corporal I_will sounds good! All the best for tomorrow. Show them what you're made of. Can I have Sibelius' Finlandia suite for the run and Chariots of Fire as I cross the line please.

[I_will Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

That's going to be challenging on a lap harp sir, but I'll give it my all.

[TurboTortoise Graduate in reply to I_will]

It's not a portable lap harp, in fact I've never seen an instrument like it before, but...

youtube.com/watch?v=lqx3O99...(Not working as expected?)

[I_will Graduate in reply to TurboTortoise]

Ohh! Interesting! Thanks

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to I_will]

Yes, you could have a competition a la Devil a Went Came to Georgia.

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to TurboTortoise]

Most unusual, could be easily slung across your back when tracking the enemy.

[misswobble Graduate]

And did those feeeeeeet in ancient tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime march upon England's blah blah blah

I like that one! I'll accompany you with my whistling. Practicing lip pursing as I type (really!)

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

To be honest any support will be good, does physical, ie being carried or put in the trolley count?

[I_will Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Sounds good. Should be very interesting. Saucepan lids might make it more dramatic if you can't find the cymbals

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to I_will]

Yes, interesting addition to percussion section. I say yes.

[I_will Graduate]

(Should I do my last battle in full Medieval attire?)

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to I_will]

That sounds like a extremely good idea to show you mean business but only if you feel confident about carrying the weight the full distance. Just the harp slung over your shoulder like a quiver might be a better idea.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

How dare you! That is not superhero hair.!

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Thank you NCO KittyKat007. The week marches on.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Definite forward planning but I think more than Brylcream may be needed for that.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

I'll get Sheila on to it. If I sling a message through the door on the way to ask her to I'm sure she'll do the iron and fold too.

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Oh yes. Bring it on!
