Changes

All Gobby wanted to convey, to someone not a million miles away was,

"You know who you are."












Public Relations

As the Regulars mused philosophically over the delicate intricacies of some of the relationships they observed down the Local, especially those they failed to understand, Tattoo sagely pronounced:

"Ugly blokes like a shag too."

To which Billy Idle added, to a less than favourable reception,

"I'll have to take your word for that."

Sour Cow

As Gobby, observing  Hellrunner full of ale and particularly cantankerous down the Local one evening labelled her a 'sour cow', Spudgirl did feel the need to protest reminding her,

"No, that's me."












Parallel Universe

Hellrunner, after a night out on the town (well, Barton) awoke in a state of panic to the sounds of lawn mowing.

Believing this must be a sound barrier breaking mower from an abode further down the street, looking out of the window and seeing Gobby and Billy Idle engaged in antemeridian horticulture it was particularly fortunate that she was still in bed during her subsequent collapse.

Such was her state of shock that despite Billy's best efforts to convince her that, indeed, she must be mistaken and her watch, phone and every clock in the house could only be wrong and it was surely actually afternoon, and Gobby's cover-all solution of a 'nice cup of tea' could do nothing to assuage her trauma nor extract her from the belief that she had been sucked into a parallel universe in the Shire from which she may never emerge.













Making It So

All this talk of parallel universes once again had the Regulars wondering what had happened to Hamish.

It would seem that he too had been spotted (more than once) in another dimension.

Ding Dong

The Regulars did their best to appear impressed as Captain Tubthumper showed off his new phone.

Daydream Believer

As Billy Idle mused down the Local that he was,

"Not much of a dreamer".

Ol' Blue Eyes could not contain his surprise at this statement'


"Considering how much you sleep!"

















Oh Captain, my Captain

The Regulars were hugely impressed with Tubthumper's promotion; not to mention his very grown up beard.
