Peet, I have a battery.

Time to again, folks! I'll have to take a RL detour, so pass my regards to the clientele of the Wild Clean Bar and the Palace Flophouse - I'll be back in a couple of hours.

Anymore crisps or nuts before you go? An for the road?

Did someone say: Battery!!
Could I interest you in looking at Bagheera's PS @ A690644 (also in 360: Changing the World by Degrees) for a practical solution to a growing problem cencerning Batteries? Go on, you KNOW you want to!!

...interesting stuff bagheera...thanks

alec.

I know I want to soo much I looked it up before Must check up to see how thats going.
So, have you all left then, or are there still a few hiding in the shadow of Wumbe?

*Opens door cautiously and looks around*

Jeez, what a mess. But at least it's quiet again. And... huzzah! They ate all the hedgehog crisps! Now we can put in an order for badger flavour.

I was going to mop up, but I think we need a backhoe in here first.

Uh? What? Eh? Where am I?

*looks round and spots the canary still lying asleep*

Oh no, not again.

Oi! Careful what you're doing with that backhoe Lil, at least until I find out what it is.

(Backhoe - the "digger" attachment often seen on the back of a bulldozer; shaped to function like a hoe, hence the name...)

*has circled round to the sink, avoiding avians and wumbeevils, and is now emptying trash and ash trays into black plastic bags*

I say, someone's left their wallet.

**Sneaks in and retrieves wallet while Lil is gazing into the distance lost in contemplation of back-hoes and such**

Phew!! The truth was nearly out! If they had seen those credit card slips... !!

**Makes for door on tip-toe**

Oy! Mr. original publican! How do I know that belongs to you?

*Wakes up with a start but soon splutters back to his usual self*
Oh my, that was busy. Finally got rid of those sausage rolls though, which was nice. Now, how much did I make?
*Turns to the till with a gleam in his eye*

(with air of total innocence)

Why Lil, my dear, how nice to see you! Where have you been? And as originally dressed as ever! Here let me give you a hug...

(Quickly slips wallet into trouser pocket before approaching Lil with arms outstretched hoping for diversionary cuddle!)

*crosses arms before Pheroneous gets within range*

Maybe I've been in Muncher's company too long, but I'll not be diverted from awareness of wallets. Unhand that thing and let's see what's in it.

*aside to Munchkin* Do we have enough to order in badger-and-onion crisps?

Strange you should say that. According to my "Exotic Crisps Monthly" they have a special at the moment on Badger, Oscelot and Baked Alaska flavours.

*creeps out from behind the fireguard still shaking with shock*

They've gone then?

They have, but what have you been doing to that fireguard, its shaking all over?

You don't want to know my boy, you don't want to know...
