*staggers from the inside of the house*
Erm, any more gates to crash for me? I do believe these things you prefer to call 'hoops' are called 'gates' where I come from, so maybe I'll crash one...
*trips over first hoop and crashes onto the ground*
W-hoops. Not being too much trouble, I hope.
By the way, has anyone seen any antelopes around?

Sorry, no doughnuts for you until we can get the hoop/gate off. It's lettuce and cottage cheese only.

No, Greebo. It's Marabou, not Caribou! They're a Swedish firm that manufactures sweeties, etc... 
*Notices Greebo's hoop around her middle*
I say! Shouldn't you be wearing a frilly skirt with that? 
*Attempts yet another swing at the ball and completely misses the next hoop*

*whispers to Gwennie*
Psssst! Nobble Babel-17. He's a bit too good at all this.
*passes Greebo a celery stick which has been thoughtfully arranged in a circle to resemble a doughnut*

~Greebo notices an odd smell to the doughnut.. but hey... its a doughnut~...
Oh yuck!!!!!
~Greebo spits out the odd doughnut~
This doughnut has been poisoned... me thinks we have a potential murderer amongst us... ~Greebo glares meaningfully at Coely...~

Hah! Nice one, Coely! I've never seen Greebo eat anything other than doughnuts and cream!
It's good for your teeth, Greebo!

*retrieves wire cutters from tha garden shed and gently cuts the croquet hoop away from Greebo's belly*
There you go Ma'am.

*passes Greebo a real doughnut and smiles a best coelacanth grin of friendship*
It was for your own good, I promise.

*Tops the drinks hat up with some ice cold bolly*
There you go Ma'am.

~Greebo eats the doughnut... but is still frowning...~

Gwennie Posted Jun 18, 2000
Methinks Greebo's suffering from shock!
I suspect it may take her a whole box of doughnuts, followed by a bottle of Bolly to make a complete recovery!

*Returns from the kitchen with a box of doughnuts and a chilled bottle of Bolly*
