general melchett Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Quote Baa! (I'm standing in for @general melchett who is on unsanitary leave). And a sterling job you've made of it, young Pete. Your period of stand-in duty is nearly at an end as my unsane leave is almost over. Amazingly, as I emerge from my state of monastic self-isolation I find that the rest of humanity is now on lockdown! Mind you, I'm now religiously following the government guidelines on social-distancing with regard to the Memsahib, so far, so good, every cloud, eh? Lovely job on the innards Martian, you really seem to be getting the hang of it. Edited May 4, 2020 by general melchett 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered the likely, nay, probable consequences, should Lady Melchett read that last post? I'm not really into blood sports.

We tried that but our beloved General drank the vinegar, passed water in the hall and then passed out in his high chair. Apparently, he likes the stuff, something to do with the fact that he recently discovered that what he thought was the white wine he had been drinking, was in fact Baldrick's water. I have lost count of the times we have told him to keep Baldrick away from the catering arrangements. Martian 👽 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, and taken suitable steps to ensure that she doesn't have access to anything more technically complex than a battery operated torch or electric bushy moustache press (mine not hers). I think I have most bases covered. Quote You'll need huge jars and lots of vinegar. Not the first time I'll have been pickled...

I trust they were not of the Purple Shredded variety of which you have often spoken. I am given to understand that, along with the Lesser Spotted Hamish, they have become in danger of extinction and consequently have been declared a protected species under Scottish law.

The Hamish is another matter, the hair being highly sort after by master moustache manufacturers around the globe and consequently heavily poached...and you really wouldn't want a heavily poached sporran. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, just to be doubly sure, it might be safer if we got the General to do the deed. Staying safe/screaming coward* of Mars👽 *Delete as appropriate. PS: In more styrene related news, I was doing a double check to see if I had missed anything prior to starting painting the internals and guess what? I came across a whole raft of things I had left to attend to. Pictures and narrative to follow soon. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
