Right Mick, down this pint in a hurry, you'll need it. Recent intelligence reports indicate that Alison has been working on her patented uillean squeeze hold in which she stuffs you under her arm and applies steady rhythmic pressure until you submit and sigh like a well tempered drone. It's a dangerous mission pal, but I think you're the man for the job. I'll be right here in your corner guarding your drink. In fact, perhaps I'll have one to keep yours from getting lonely. If we don't hear from Catspaw soon I'm for sending out the possum patrol. E.S.
