Forth Eorlingas 2 - change uniform - first one challenged by the Cultural Attaché.

Is this any better? No white horses on green shield but I can drum up a green shield with a white horse. He has not left the building for fear of causing shame if inappropriately dressed.

[misswobble Graduate]

The horse you mean! Tell him there are no horse fashion police. He'll be fine. White horses are all the rage in folklore circles so he'll be fine. Explain to him about Lady Godiva and such tales from ye olde worlde. Tell him anything, just get him out there

I'll get some oats!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

I think he means a horse on the shield but there isn't one in the box. I reiterate it is not my Lego!

[AncientMum Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

I like the shield!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Mmm. It does look better with the horse. Not sure if Cultural Attaché MarkyD approves of the weapon of choice though.

[Nilzed]

Well, the horse should make the runmuch easier! We should all try that!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Nilzed]

Yes, Captain poppypug (ents and haberdashery div) has a pinto. That helps too.

[spoonierunning Graduate in reply to Nilzed]

As long as it's not a zombie horse cause well then it could be a disaster

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

How true. Or maybe I'd be moving even faster.

[MarkyD Graduate]

Ah much better. Now he is a rider from The Mark.

I trust that your valiant quest was successful?

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

The new C23M has been more successful than I expected. Still dire by most standards but I managed to complete in 43 mins which I am pathetically pleased with. I feel I have achieved a distance target not a time one. now to try and cut it down. Still not asked neighbour about bike or made it to the pool.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Yay Go Dozz ! I knew crocheting those go faster stripes into your onesie would work

You did it for St George , England , Yorkshire , the Pups, but most of all , you did it for YOU !!!

Well done , onwards my friend , onwards, always xxxx

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Obviously a target destination was what I needed not a time.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Anyway, I will catch you later if you are around as Im not here. You haven't seen me , right ? Well done mate xxx

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Dozz, I like the cut of your jib xxx

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Does Corporal Sparkly (electrics div) go down the pit to check for poisonous gases?

[poppypug Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Wooohooo Doz! Way to go. High five on ya! Or whatever the parlance is

Did you resort to the pinto or did you manage it unassisted (other than by wind, ahem)

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Chased the pinto some of the time. At others I was fast enough to keep up.

[AncientMum Graduate]

Yey, you did it. I like the idea of the target destination. Congratulations! Here, have a celebratory caramel wafer whilst I play a rousing chorus of Daisy Daisy (still don't feel like I've hit on the right campaign song yet!)

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Why thank you, don't mind if I do.
