The table set up and ready for ....who knew what?
The four players (all of whom should have know better) were John (Capt. D'eath), Kayte (Mrs Fred), Jerry (Comrade Wrist) and Martin (Col. Incognito).
The funeral cortege trundles along at a respectful pace.
The local emergency services were on standby.
Roger Mellie (for it is he) prepares for a live broadcast at the entrance to the churchyard. Martin provided the hills and 'old colonial' buildings. All the other rubbish is mine.
Tension builds as the cortege reaches a corner. Note the bunch of P.O.O.F.S near the school bus...
Another TV camera crew films the solemn event. The rather splendid Cadillac hearse is a Hot Wheels model. The four main mourners were in the dignified Daimler DS420 limo. Many years ago I used to drive similar (but rather scruffier) Daimlers for a wedding hire firm.
Action at last! The P.O.O.F.S crewed bus rams the lead UN truck and brings the cortege to a halt.
The shaken P.O.O.F.S tumble out of the bus. What would happen next? As Roger Mellie commented in a news bulletin - "Two turns and no gunfire - this is probably the longest period of peace in Ph'tang's recent history."
Stay tuned for the next load of old nonsense....
*saying this is much funnier if you can manage a Dundee accent.
Collision at a busy T junction!
ReplyDeleteDid the UN van stop at the Give Way or did he cross the line.
Was the bus speeding?
Where's the policeman when you want one?
An insurance nightmare!

ReplyDeleteDog laughed and laughed at this "Action at last! The P.O.O.F.S crewed bus rams the lead UN truck and brings the cortege to a halt."
until I pointed at the gap between the end of poof and beginning of crewed - his grammar is pathetic. But he said had that happened to him he would have crashed, too.

ReplyDeleteGive Way lines? Speeding? I think you are rather overestimating the formality of Forbodia's traffic system....

ReplyDeleteIt was certainly a nasty little shunt. At least I think that's what Mr Mellie called it.....
