The Gardeners Rest #12 (2017)

[veggiechicken]

.............Slowly, the door creaked open and there stood someone, with a spotted hankie knotted jauntily over one eye.
"Is that you Deano?" said Lottie, straining to see through the smoke from the fire "or is it Pudsey Bear?".
"Oooh my head!!" said...............

[lottie dolly]

said MR blobby,it is very sore since it was smacked into earlier on,send for the first aiderplease,i need help to.........................

[Snoop Puss]

Get this horrendous suit off me. Oh, and where's Flumpy?"

Flumpy shrank into the corner.

"Flumpy saved my life by biting that hole into the suit. If it hadn't been for that, I'd have suffocated in there. It's my round next, and whatever Flumpy's having, make it a double."

Flumpy emerged, looking a bit...

[JanieB]

Shell-shocked. I’ll have a double of my usual she said. I bl00dy need it after that fiasco. Now where’s my...

[Lumpy]

my party hat gone as its nearly time to.........

[Snoop Puss]

"Double of your usual coming up", interrupted Tallulah. She knew it was nearly time too, but it wasn't what the Grapes were expecting. She knew because she was the barmaid and she was in control. Well, all apart from the Emperor, the Master, the Joker... whatever he was calling himself these days...

[Lumpy]

even though as a teenager she had lovingly called him Egbert as they danced in the moonlight sighing at each other.

But, then Egbert had turned his back on her when he started................

[Snoop Puss]

moonlighting with the Dark Side.

[JanieB]

Wooooooh! New Year is on the horizon and the grapes are wondering how long they can get a lock in for after Jan 1st.

[JanieB]

Seeing as they missed a lot of Christmas stuck in the Tardis. It’s not my fault cried ....

[Nicos]

...but Nicos was quietly smirking!...they'd forgotten about the 12th night party hadn't they?????...that was the intention each year as, having somehow manageing to get hold of the MIB zapper, she enjoyed playing with it...and boy had it worked over the years!.....

I'm not even going to go there about the MIB zapper whatever it is. Just glad it does something for her , but Nicos does hold the GR key so we have to be polite.....ish. We could relieve her of it and ....

[Lumpy]

hold the MIB (did that stand for Might Imagin Barbados) zapper to ransom for the key.

Several Grapes started whispering to each other. Lumpy who had very large ears (in proportion with the rest of her) heard what was being said. The trip wires, bucket of water on top of the door and the sleepy pill in the drink were all dismissed as to cruel but then VC had a brainwave and suggested..............

[Nicos]

...that the MIB ( men in black film)zapper -which obliterates people's recent memories-could actually be used for a more scheming plan....
Putting on her protective sunglasses....

[Snoop Puss]

"But why would they want to have their memories zapped?" wondered Snoop. "And who wouldn't want a 12th Night party? After all, it it would mean more time in the GR meanwhile."

"Tallulah, I'll have one of your finest Caipirinhas", she ordered. Two would probably have the same effect as a MIB zapper anyway.

"Join me, VC?" she asked. "Anyone else fancy one?"
