........I know you, said Shen, you're Cathy.......Bates .......

[Sheneval]

No need for anyone to get cut up over this disclosure said Shen as he made a hurried and undignified exit.......

[Dorothy rouse]

Mad.........!

[veggiechicken]

........closely followed by Dotty and Mad Cathy brandishing her carving knife, although any resemblance to the Three Blind Mice was purely coincidental (as there were only 2 "mice" ) - but since this is fantasy........

[Sheneval]

Mad.........!

(I would say Jules is a little eccentric rather than mad but each to his own interpretation)

[Sheneval]

just then Shen awoke from his nightmare in a cold sweat with himself and Dotty having run so fast to escape Mad Cathy that they had both had lost a little weight ....

"Come back", said Cathy, putting down her knife, "I was only going to ask you if you wanted a sandwich from kitchen"...."I am so mis-understood, why is everyone afraid of me?" and with that she started to cry.................

First a trickle, then more and more, until there was a steady flow...."Careful you don't let that pint spill over" said Trip to the barmaid, "and why is Cathy crying again?"

..........and now it was VC's turn to shed a few tears, because, once again she was having to take the blame.....................so she turned to Shen and gave him a double Chinese burn on his arm that made him squeal and reach for his red spotted hanky to wipe..................

[Sheneval]

...the Peking duck and flied lice off his arm surprised and hurt that VC could have reacted in such a fashion but restraining himself from indulging in the crying game as ...........

[Tripmeup]

only "Two Can Play that Game", and Cathy and VC were already in position...

"You have hurt me even more now" said Cathy noticing that Shen had brought food in from the local Chinese rather than sample her wares......More tears followed and Shen was afraid to offend Cathy again, so he held off on putting on the jukebox as his favourite song was...........

[Sheneval]

(Trip - I have at least two)

one of the following... either of which would be likely to bring tears to Cathy's eyes and rolling down her cheeks.....

"Quiet in here tonight" said Ken the devious bookie as he surveyed the few punters scattered around the GR's cosy lounge..."Here what about my winnings" said BB as he spotted Ken..."Minor cash flow problem at the moment" replied Ken with a devious smirk... Didn't stop him sipping from a large brandy noted BB...

Meanwhile, a stranger walked in, looked around and ordered a pint of ale and then proceeded to...
