Just ask Patti about me and custard!

I'm a simple country boy and I'm not going there!

Chicken!

but never served with custard or whipped cream!

Ice cream then?

is the act of smearing excitable ladies with a thick layer of icecream likely to calm them down?

Depends on the flavour. Anything with chocolate tends to get ladies even more excited.

I shall keep this most firmly in mind!

It merely needs a singing hippopotamus

Where are the custard wrestlers??

I'm afraid that due to rain, wind and sundry other minor issues the custard wrestling had to be cancelled, but the amateur impromptu mud wrestling made up for it

now there's a lady who will doubtless appreciate the mud wrestling

A truly terrifying tale

Hmmm... thats giving me ideas....

I was wary about writing horror

welcome to the world of businessmen, usurers, lawyers, advocates, dealers in exotic commodities, swords for hire, three dreg men, and petty mages seeking sponsors for ethically dubious experiments.

Hmmm... is it possible to get more details about those ethically dubious experiments?

Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "Hmmm... is it possible to get more details about those ethically dubious experiments?"

only by using ethically dubious methods.......

And asking too many questions can look like you're interested at which point they pester you for money

Well I distract then with pictures like this (but with less clothing), and they forget...

I'll have to ask Tallis if that picture reminds him of anything

No doubt it will ;)

I'm hoping so

an incident from the past

Eeeek!

the tourist industry has to be self supporting!

What is better, an annual yield or a one-off blowout?

I suggest you think of it more as a seasonal addition to the larder

As long as there is a fresh supply available.

17 million tourist overnights in the Lake District, who'd ever miss a few dozen :-)

And it's all about how you stand

and performance art has to be done in the right spirit

*riotous applause*

certainly riotous :-)

It's amazing how often Tallis is the voice of moderation and common sense....

There are at least two reasons for this

the first is that he is the consummate professional trying to keep the show on the road so everybody gets paid.
The second is that we tend to get his version of the tale

Ah, that does make a lot of sense :)

Tallis does ;-)

Its probably the civilising influence of Shena. And Mutt - no wait, scratch that!

Lots of people scratch in the presence of Mutt :-)

I'm sure he has his fleas well trained!

I suspect it's just his general demeanor that makes people itch, he probably doesn't actually need the fleas to achieve this :-)

He could hire them out then as a flea circus.

he'd probably use the flea circus to distract his victims from what he's really planning :-)

While also making money by selling tickets. And charging for refreshments. And autographs from the fleas.

You scrub up well GL.

Thank you Chris. I think that is one of my better pictures :)

Being a gentleman I'm not going to talk about how fierce she is ;-)

Specially when I have been anywhere near Mutt's fleas!
