Do not fall.

The daytime shift is going home,
And Paul Mc.Cartney
Sings in Rome.......................

Do you think he will invite us to his 'after show' party,after all we do know LEE and she does mix with the 'Entertainment world' now, doean't she.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm NO I think not.

Sticks · 12-05-2003, 04:47 PM

I had to miss this party because I was at a party for those who used to post on the old Channel 4 Reach Forum.

It seems I missed one of my allies there, a Welsh lass by the name of Suky Sue

Boris · 12-05-2003, 04:48 PM

Poor Sticks

Never mind if we have another party we'll be sure to make sure it doesn't clash with your arrangements.....OK.

Kaz · 12-05-2003, 04:55 PM

Afternoon, Boris.

Troops all now recovered from their hang-overs, and normal service has been resumed.

Boris · 12-05-2003, 06:39 PM

Very pleased to hear it Captain, I was getting a little worried.

Better hide all the corkscrews in the mess I think, then it will be safe !

Kaz · 12-05-2003, 07:16 PM

What's this I see,
Boris in last position!

Just as well I'm here
To carry out my mission.

Boris · 12-05-2003, 09:24 PM

Before I do my next post will you all pretend that te Captain has not turned up for duty tonight or it will spoil my rhyme....Thank You.

The Admiral is out of action,
The Captain 's disappeared,
The RSM is AWOL,
It's much worse that I feared.

Now who is going to guard the thread?
I fear poor Boris may soon be dead !

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP !

rachb · 12-05-2003, 10:37 PM

Its ok Boris here to save you!!!

or is that to take you away?

Kaz · 12-05-2003, 10:55 PM

Oh Boris, we'll always be here
Of that you need have no fear
To save you is my chosen mission
You WILL never be in last position.

My troops are here by my side
From hard work they never will hide
We'll defend you to the bitter end
So sleep easy, dear Boris, my friend.

Night shift at the ready!

kaphc · 13-05-2003, 09:11 AM

Morning all!!

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine!!!!

Kaz · 13-05-2003, 10:03 AM

Morning, Kaph!

Everyone does seem a bit sluggish today . . . . . come on troops - a bit of exercise will soon brush away the cobwebs!

Follow me . . . . . . .

There are those who make a fuss
About their duties here
And then there are the rest of us
To whom the task is clear

We may not make a song and dance
We may not shout and yell
Whilst others sit as in a trance
We do their work as well

For we are here and keeping watch
Our eyes are ever peeled
And should they ever make a botch
The breach will soon be sealed

For we are legion and we wait
To quietly do our stuff
When the others tire and go
And feel they've 'done enough'

We'll still stand by, we'll still hold fast
We know our sacred quest
To vouchsafe Boris won't be last
So put us to the test!

ROB 13.5.03

One two three SING ALONG......

Come cheer up my lads
It's to glory we steer
To add something more
To this wonderful year
To honour we call you
As free men, not slaves
For who are so free
As the sons of the waves
CHORUS
Heart of oak are our ships
Heart of oak are our men
We always are ready
Steady, boys, steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer
Again and again

Our worthy forefathers
Let's give them a cheer
To climates unknown
Did courageously steer
Through oceans to deserts
For freedom they came
And dying, bequeathed us
Their freedom and fame

David Garrick 1759

kaphc thinks:
"If Boris is almost speechless then maybe she will stop posting on this thread???"

Kaz · 13-05-2003, 06:46 PM

. . . . but would you REALLY want that to happen, kaphc?

It just wouldn't be any FUN!

Having said that, mines is the last post on the thread just now . . . . ..

Mairi · 13-05-2003, 06:50 PM

I am thinking very seriously about what you just said, Kaz.

News Item from BBC and ITV Central News:~

Boris the Badger rampage injures five

Badgers are usually wary of humans
A rogue badger attacked five people during a 48-hour rampage in a quiet suburb.

One man required two skin graft operations, after the badger woke him up and attacked him when he went outside to investigate.

Other victims included a man who was attacked as he walked home from a pub, in Evesham, Worcestershire.

Mike Weaver, from the Worcestershire Badger Society, said: "I have never heard of anything like this in 24 years of work with badgers throughout the UK."

'Horror movie'

The badger, which is thought to have been injured, has been put down.

Pam Fitzgerald, said the attack on her husband Michael, who is still in hospital after the skin grafts, was like a "bizarre horror movie".

Michael Fitzgerald needed two skin grafts
She said: "We had gone to bed and we heard a noise in the garage.

"My husband opened the door and the badger sat there and then, gradually, just slowly walked towards him and attacked him.

"It caught him on his arm and, in the process of trying to get the badger off himself, he's lost quite a lot of skin on his arm and some of the flesh."

Mrs Fitzgerald said the badger also bit her husband's leg, forcing the couple to flee inside their house.

"It was terrifying because we didn't expect a badger to attack because we know that badgers, when they smell a human, will disappear," she said.

Police take evasive action

Mrs Fitzgerald added that her husband will have a lasting reminder of the attack.

"He's still in hospital... they've had to do skin grafts on both of his wounds. He will be very badly scarred."

The Worcestershire Badger Society, finally rounded up the animal on Friday.

I been involved with badgers for 24 years now and I've never heard of anything like this

Mike Weaver
Worcestershire Badger Society
Mr Weaver said: "I was called out on Thursday night. A young man walking home, I presume from the pub, had been bitten by a badger."

The animal was nowhere to be seen, but early on Friday morning Mr Weaver received a call from police after it was seen chasing people.

"The police officer told me it had kept some of their officers at bay and indeed they had to jump on to the bonnet of a car to escape it."

Mr Weaver said it was extraordinary behaviour for an animal that is usually wary of people.

"Normal behaviour for a badger would be that as soon as it scented humans it would take off.

Tamed cub

"My belief is that this badger had been brought up from a cub (named as "Boris" by Central News)with people. The evidence for that is the fact that it had no fear of humans at all."

Mr Weaver said there was no need for people to start fearing an onslaught of badger attacks.

He said: "I've been in touch with other people who've been involved with badgers and they've never heard of anything like it.

"I would consider this to be a one-off incident and the people of Evesham and Worcestershire, and indeed everywhere else in the country should not be worried that this may happen again."

I knew there was something about our Boris.............

I've never heard of a badger attacking people either and I'm sure it must have been because it had been injured. I'm thinking perhaps a bump to the head, maybe in a road traffic accident, had affected it in some way.
