Just as Billy Idle began to weary from his recent work journeys covering the length and breadth of the country he spotted a sign that filled him with renewed vigour and passion.

Suspicion
It was an unusually quiet night down the Local as the Regulars eyed each other with suspicion.
Sunday 6 February 2011
Now you see him...
The Regulars were delighted when the latest novelty email came round alleviating the boredom of work and the general tedium of life in the Shire.
This week's particular gem was entitled 'Find the Man' or as the Regulars soon appropriately redubbed it - 'Find Tattoo!'

Master of the House
Whilst passing the following outside a Barton hostelry, the Regulars momentarily mused as to whether Robbin' Get had once again taken up as a Licensed Victualler.
Rock 'Ard
As, yet again, Billy Idle over- egged the custard of one of his previous incarnations, that of his stint in a 'rock band' he smugly declared after he had mentioned this at the bar of the Local that,
"One woman looked at me like I'd been in Def Leppard. I mean as if I even sound like I come from Birmingham!"
Which, indeed, he does not. Nor, as the Regulars pointed out, as if he came from Sheffield.

Keeping Abreast
Gobby was hugely impressed whilst at the mecca of the Factory Shop at the bargains to be had and ran off to immediately inform Jordan.
A Mean Deal
Gobby arrived at the Local to find it was so full she was unable to join the rest of the Regulars at the table and was forced to sit herself in an annex.
With the aid of a pack of cards she declared she would, until space was vacated by those, unlike the Regulars, able to leave the Local before being thrown out, resign herself to a solitary game of patience. During this she did, however, feel it was unnecessarily harsh of Billy Idle to suggest she tried her hand at silence instead.
As the evening wore on and Gobby rejoined the pack, Spudgirl could not fail to be impressed as Billy enticed her with his card trick expertise whilst Ol' blue Eyes declared it was a shame it didn't work for horses!

A New Dimension
Gobby was about to ask if Billy Idle would mind if she went down the Local without him.
However, it only took one glimpse of him in his new 3D utopia to realise her absence would not even be noticed.
Several days later, as Billy Idle got somewhat carried away whilst sharing the love of his new TV with the Regulars, Tubthumper did have to intervene with his superior knowledge explaining that surely Billy was mistaken in the use of the term '3D disk' as that would, surely, be a cylinder.
Ol' Blue Eyes, on the other hand, declared that he was more than satisfied with Billy's explanation of a dongle as, prior to that evening, he has always attributed these to boy scouts.
