general melchett Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Quote I Still couldn't get into the safe at Melchett towers though. I wonder what he keeps in there.... I'm amazed you even found the safe, Pete as it was buried in a deep pit containing the rotting carcass of a dead bison, under four tons of liquid manure at the bottom of the Victory Gardens.....how did you even get past Baldrick's mini Siegfried line, graviton minefield, cluster munitions and electrified barbwire fencing?

Is that where the 'big boys' hang out? legend has it that Darling's no stranger to the establishment....I'll ask Bob as he/she has a small holding nearby, apparently. Quote Bribery and corruption plus a bag of jelly babies It was probly the jelly babies that sealed the deal...she has a weakness for gummies (wooden dentures) especially Bubbles and Boofuls.

Martian Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 On 16/08/2023 at 12:59, Pete in Lincs said: As promised my tame boffin has managed to un-photoshop one of the pictures posted by @general melchett and the full story of our visit to Melchett Towers can now be told. This is not for the faint of heart and carries a XXX rating. We knew we were getting close to the Melchett residence (about fifteen miles away)when we were met with a very pungent "agricultural" smell. This turned out to be Baldrick hard baking cow pats, the reason for which became clearer during our stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted most cordially by the General and Memsahib and over dinner that evening we were invited to open the Much-Snivelling-in-the-Swamp summer fête and to present the prizes for the various competition classes. Competition for awards was particularly keen this year as Much-Snivelling's twin town from Bavaria, Much-Lederhosen-Slapping-in-the-Mire had sent over a very strong team. However the home side more than held their end up (fnar, fnar) with the General being crowned Bottom Burping Champion (freestyle) for the tenth year in succession. Following a stewards enquiry, Baldrick was disqualified from the dung hurling class for using artificially hardened dung. However, he recovered strongly from this disappointment by winning the all commers dung eating medley (Pig, duck and horse) Challenge Shield, an award that he has coveted for sometime now. On the Friday of our stay @Pete in Lincs visited Melchett Towers and accidentally let slip his true identity as, shock horror! The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town! He tried to place the blame on the late Spike Milligan but the quality of the very real and alive raspberries he was blowing and now the real photograph, leaves no further room for unreasonable doubt. Inspector Corner of the Yard and his sidekick Sergeant Bowles have been send for. The "Disturbance at Melchett Towers" picture that @TheBaron posted was taken at the very instant Pete's true identity was revealed. Sadly the picture fails to show Lady Melchett, clad only in a bath towel and shower cap fleeing the building in a state of hysteria. Lady Melchett Junior's reaction cannot yet be gauged as she has yet to regain her power of speech following the incident. Are you all ready for this? Well as ready as you will ever be? Thanks for looking and Carrying on Screaming. Martian (Do you mind if I smoke?) 👽 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 If anyone insinuates that our fellow modelers are a bunch of loonies, I shall have to ask them to step outside...... The General has a proper licence for Baldrick too. It is NOT a dog licence with the word DOG crossed out and "Baldrick" written in in crayon....

Martian Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 Following suitable ponderings, it has been decided that a new category of "Usual Suspect" needs to be created. This will be known as Professor of Silliness. The General is obviously a shoo in for the role as are CC and Pete-in-Lincs. The latest addition to the list, following the Melchett Towers photo, has to be @The Baron. Tony, our collective tickling sticks salute you! Martian 👽 PS: @corsaircorp may well be in for promotion if the combined brains of Bletchley Park and GCHQ can decipher enough of his posts. His almost permanent residency in the Naughty Corner will surely gain him extra points for bad behaviour. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Quote This will be known as Professor of Silliness. The General is obviously a shoo in for the role as are CC and Pete-in-Lincs. An honour indeed.....I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my loyal subjects, any surviving family members and their pets, the local constabulary, especially the lads of SCO19 Specialist Firearms Command and the Serious Organised Crime Agency, the late Gag Halfront, my analyst, the Pope, King George V and Baldrick's favourite turnip, Alan for putting me forward as a nominee for this prestigious award bestowed by our favourite cult leader being, Martian of Wibble..... Quote Sadly the picture fails to show Lady Melchett, clad only in a bath towel and shower cap fleeing the building in a state of hysteria. Lady Melchett Junior's reaction cannot yet be gauged as she has yet to regain her power of speech following the incident. Both of them will need rehabilitation and many years of intense therapy are ahead of them in order to restore any semblance of "sanity." The Mem has taken the vow, and until I can prove that you've departed the planet, she refuses to leave her bunker. Lady M junior has also taken the pledge. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was as traumatised as anyone! After all who expects to find themselves sitting next to the Notorious and legendary Phantom Raspberry Blower of old London Town?

Quote It was the shocking revelation about Pete-in-Lincs and the accompanying raspberries that pushed the two ladies over the edge. I was as traumatised as anyone! And to think I thought that was you, after consuming a couple of quarts of our home brewed vino paraffino, 'Darling's Revenge, 1914' and the mem's Soy bean and Skunk Cabbage flan. Mind you I had my suspicions aroused when Pete disappeared following a knock on the door from the local plod. Apparently the CBRN unit (Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) wanted a word with him....
