And They're Off!!

After previous failed attempts and lack of success in the growing stakes, (see Judgment Day) plus taunting texts from other Regulars on their headway in the matter, Gobby felt any encouragement and motivational tactics were worth a try.

Chocolate Drop

The Regulars had truly believed Hamish might finally be on the brink of achieving his dream job from recent discussions down The Local.

That was until this particularly charming rejection letter arrived.

Bookend

Gobby couldn't help noticing Dr Johnson had moved on considerably since she pored over his previous work during lexicography lectures.

The End

On a rare and  harmonious joint shopping outing, as Billy Idle and Gobby admired the well-hung produce of the local butcher, Jordan appeared also approving of his tasty wares.

Gobby and Billy could only look on and marvel as she was personally hand-fed with over-the-counter titbits as they looked on hungrily.

But as Jordan pointed out:

"He always gives me his end."

Jai Po!!!

Despite many previous attempts by the Regulars to prevent her access to a particularly potent elixir, Gobby still found outlets prepared to serve her and expressed her undying love for the product in question.























Although, not at an eye-watering  £5.60 a pint in a local establishment that shall not be named (but was the host venue for the recent CAMRA AGM...)


That'll teach the Regulars to leave the safety the mother ship.

Underhand

As Gobby lamented that her ploy of confiscating items from Billy Idle and hiding them in her knicker drawer had been unsuccessful as he had still managed to find them, Crusty did wonder:

"What were you doing in her knicker drawer?"

Billy soon cleared up any confusion explaining:

"Just seeing of she had any new pairs I hadn't tried on yet."






IF ONLY...!!
