    Thanks, do I dial 01 for London first?

    Remember, in the Legion appearance is much more important than substance.
    I am so pleased to you have stopped the talk about Stilton (disgusting stuff) Sir. i have now acquired my new batwoman uniform and attached my medal. I was a bit dismayed to hear talk that I looked like Mutley. I will of course ignore such tripe. I await your orders with interest

    Oy batbrain! who the fuck said you could attach your own medal? It has to be done by Princess Productions or myself. Take it off and meet me behind the bike shed...and don't be too premature this time.
    I didn't say it was your fucking fault, I said I was blaming you.

    I'm only responsible for what I say...not what you understand.

    And who will be the first Adjutant?
    And who will Stonker select as his Batman?

    Stay tuned to this channel, folks.

    But now, a word from Our Sponsor and Awards co-ordinator …

    The funny thing is that when I moved here for the first time, just for the hell of it I wanted to dial 911 - it went to 999! This was on my U.S. cell phone. They learn I guess!

    arse kissing, boot licking, starfish rimming, etc. Even though in 73 pages I've only been mentioned ONCE, by the Lance General, I'll get over my snit to help a brother out. (If you ask me, the price of having Snailio on side is a little steep. )

    Hello
    ... Do I spy a new volunteer? And a candidate as the Stonker's bat-person?
