Jump(er)ing into 2009

As Tattoo proudly showed off his new Christmas jumper, the Regulars struggled to harbour their disappointment that is was acutely lacking in reindeer and, despite their best efforts to the contrary, could only be described as tasteful.

Just as they felt the potential for ridicule slipping from their grasp however, Robbin' Get saved the Christmas jumper day by turning up in fancy dress as none other than Bertie Bassett.

However, when the Frogs with Red Scarves appeared, the Regulars' sniggers were cut short (well, Tattoo already was but that's another story) and the atmosphere took on a more sinister air with the Regulars wondering if the Dark Lord had been at work as they felt they were incontestably faced with the Master and his Apprentice:












Putting this aside and feeling understandably attractive so attired, as the bell tolled in the Shire for the prospect of yet another year of designer lifestyles, celebrity gossip, intrigue, scandal and potatoes Robbin' get looked around him announcing glumly,

"Not much chance of a snog in 'ere."

Adding,

"I might pop across road to't George. They'd be grateful of one in there."

And, as Tattoo was only too quick to add,



"And that's just the fellas."


Reconsidering his options in the light of this, Robbin' Get took to the floor to show off his 'snake hips' smooth moves to bring in the New Year.

Predictably Tweetie too felt he had to be up there cavorting but, as Billy Idle pointed out, he was merely dancing to 'the tunes in his head'.
