15 Jan 06 - 11:02 AM (#1648755) Subject: BS: Farewell to Phot From: Morticia Our Phot is off to do his bit in Iraq for four months on Tuesday. The really brave thing is that he is bringing Mudcat Jack with him....says a tour on active service will do the misbegotten boozehound good. No matter what your thoughts on this war are,I'm sure you'll want to join with me in wishing them safe home again and, if you can spare them, some good thoughts for Pixie and Joelene left behind to worry, wouldn't go amiss either. Good luck, lads......remember to keep your heads down and your powder dry. |

16 Jan 06 - 01:33 PM (#1649638) Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to Phot From: Phot Hi all, thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes. Morticia gave my hair a bit of a trim on Sunday, and in typical hairdresser style asked "Going anywhere nice for a holiday?" She'd do a great job with the Diplomatic Service!! Jack will be kept well away from guns and stuff, but I think he has designs on the video camara I'm going to be using out there, he has said he wants to be a roving reporter and goodwill ambassador for the Mudcat, and Middle Bar Singers. Who is he trying to kid?! He'll just be his usual self and try to get on TV as much as possible! Still at least his liver will get a chance to dry out. I'll try to keep you all entertained from over there, orders for camels, magic carpets, T55's etc will be delt with in a strict first come, first served basis! Wassail!! Chris |

16 Jan 06 - 04:59 PM (#1649726) Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to Phot From: Geoff the Duck Look after yourself, Chris. Make sure you keep away from any trouble and don't let Jack persuade you to do anything stupid. This morning we went to Bombay Stores in Bradford. They had on display some big firworks - wonderful names on the boxes - "Nuclear Weapons" and the like. The one which amsed me was on entitled "Demented Dictator", but I couldn't decide if it was referring to Saddam or GWBush... Quack! Geoff. |

21 Jan 06 - 06:01 AM (#1652663) Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to Phot From: Cllr Dear Phot, Have a nice holiday, I hope the weather will be nice. I think you are very lucky to win an all expenses trip to somewhere exotic but I'm sure you deserve it. Remember to play nicely with the other boys Even if the play a little rough (so I have heard) again remember they are foreign! Do send a post card. you dont have to write much just wish you were or something. I hear that the trip is all inclusive so enjoy the food. Do try to take advantage of the excursion trips I'm sure they will be very educational and will teach you a lesson. It all sounds very exiting And we will all be thinking of you having such fun! Hopefully you can bring back some nice holiday snaps Have a nice time Cllr. |

21 Jan 06 - 11:04 AM (#1652789) Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to Phot From: GUEST,Phot Hello boys and girls! Can you guess where I am on my holidays? I'll give you a clue, there's lots of sand, but no ice cream van, there's a few donkeys, but they don't give rides, and Blackpool tower, is nowhere to be seen!........................ Yes you all guessed right!........I'm in Iraq! One thing this place has got is Landrovers!(Yippeee!!) Loads of the buggers! Guess who's got a brand new LR3 Discovery(V8SE) to play with?! Jack is wondering how to smuggle one back in his hand luggage. The hound has been quite well behaved so far,........I think he's missing Joline and the pups, but I took him into the office today. Oh dear, I think this roving reporter bit is going to his head, he's just ordered a directors chair and a megaphone, and shouting for makeup. I have'nt told him that there's a bar here yet. Thanks once again for all your kind thoughts and wishes, watch this space folks! Wassail!! Chris, and Jack |

There arn't many sandcastles over here Liz, but we've got a great sand storm shaping up at the moment, you can't see bugger all! Wassail!! Chris |
