The Story so far...
The venturesome buccaneers (I think that's what I heard) have overrun a circus infested tropical island, escaped with their lives, boarded a galleon and eventually taken a pirate radio ship.
Jim Lad's Parrot has been recognised as having the grains of fate inside it. This means that the secrets of the future lie within his polly-morfic being... If only the intrepid band can find a way of getting Polly to come up with the goods they may win on the gee-gee's
Everyone who wishes to invest in this dot complicated plot have to throw a dubloon in Vestboy's bucket. All investment will be put on Polly's selection in the 2.30 at Ascot (or wherever) Join in why don't you?

Polly - get out of that bucket - Oops, I think I knocked the little bugger out, we've got to revive him before tomorrow. Anybody know how to give CPR to a parrot ?

Stand back. I'm going to give Llama-to-Parrot resuss.

Right, stand back.
Huff, puff, huff, puff.....

Erm, sorry?

*removes crumpled paper from back pocket*
Right, mateys - here's the racing extra from the Times.
*looks up at Polly in the rigging*
So, what do we do now then ? Maybe we should spread the paper on the deck underneath the parrot and wait, you know, excrement marks the spot.
