A few high winds won't stop us! Good grief! Where's your Dunkirk spirit?
OK chaps. chocks away, here's the plan:
ROB's son has 'spookily' passed his minibus test this week, and thinks he is taking us on a trip to the London Eye. He is picking ROB up at 02.00hrs, travelling north west, and Discolady and Miriam are being picked up at 04.00hrs at M6 junction 19., then SE to pick up Peachy at O5.30hrs junction 11. From there the bus will progress to join the MI at junction 19, and on down to the M25, junction 23.
I know there are many others, and anyone not already booked on the VTIBB trip, please bear in mind that room in the minibus is a little tight, but we will try to accomodate you.
Please make sure you are at the South Mimms Harvester Resturant by 0700hrs. GMT, next to the potted palm.
Everybody must wear Glitter, an orange blanket, and bring a packed lunch and a bottle of Cider.
We distribute individual orders at 07.15hrs, and seperate into pairs, each taking a carefully defined area. All sightings must be immediately notified to the leader by mobile, and the code will be 'Lush' for a Helen sighting, 'Phwoar' for a Paul sighting* and 'Bless' for both.
* please note, anyone sighting Paul and not passing on this information to the group will be dealt with severely. Don't be greedy.
We will synchronise watches at 07.30hrs, and then make our way to our individual reconnaisance areas in Hadley Wood. The rendezvouz point is near the entrance to the Golf course, where the minibus will be parked. Telephone check-ins must be made to the minibus every 30 minutes.
When the target is sighted, all members of the group will congregate to discuss how the offensive should be mounted. ROB is willing to form the vanguard, and distract Paul, keeping him occupied in the bus, having lured him inside with a generous helping of Dutch apple cake whilst the remainder of the group befriend Helen.
We will, of course, then make ourselves indispensable to the couple, by helping to unpack and settle down with them in time to watch Will's finest hour on TV.
At 11pm, ROB's baffled and bribed son will be wakened from his kip the back roomto start his marathon return run.
And a good time will have been had by all.
We will not contemplate failure.
