  1. both arms around, making it difficult for the dispatcher to hear a word. '999 here, what is the nature of your emergency?' 'We 'ave wat yer might call a major disturbance at Johnny and Rosie's Cat Cafe,' shouted Mark. 'Please remain calm, speak quietly and describe the disturbance,' said the emergency operator. 'Well, it's loike this...' and Mark went on to describe how Henry Beech had been rammed in the back by a very impatient ( and to be fair, quite desperate) Molly Middlewich, causing a brolly blockage issue in one of the only two toilets. This had lead to a rather testy exchange between all parties involved. 'Testy exchanges don't come under the heading of an emergency, sir. Making a false emergency call can lead to a hefty fine and I suggest you ...
  2. ohhhhh ... what on earth is happening out there?!' Marital explanations would have to wait. All hell had broken loose. Not only was there a major skirmish going on in the toilets as patrons fought over the two available conveniences but all the ruckus had upset the cats. They were zooming all around the place, climbing the curtains, knocking over tables and one was even ...
  3. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas ✨️🎄
  4. gripped by a particularly aggressive stomach cramp and realised action was imminent. Proving that she was indeed equipped to deal with both bothersome people and objects, she shoved Jeff, who was at the head of the queue, roughly across the room, and kicked the toilet door in. There was a mad rush for the door, causing quite a jam which wasn't helped by Rosie ...
  5. a wee bit more, an she sez, 'elp meself! Bluddy good service 'ere, oi sez, don't know wat the silly ol' cow oer theres belly-achin bout.' Chef Philbert's approach to recipe ingredients was rather unconventional and known only to him and in this instance had the unfortunate , almost immediate effect of patrons requiring the restroom facilities. This proved difficult with Rosie having locked herself in. A long queue was forming outside and the more desperate patrons were ...
  6. out of the room. I followed her calling, 'But not for much longer, darling, she'll give me a divorce very soon!' Rosie shut herself in the toilets and locked the door. The patrons of our cafe seemed engrossed in all the drama and had taken sides. The two factions were now having a heated discussion about who was right and who was wrong and things were...
  7. I knew Rosie was going to ask me some sticky questions. 'You see what I've been dealing with, darling?' I asked in a weedling kind of voice. 'Why did she call me PiechartHaggis, and you didn't answer me before about Pythagorus! Who's she? And why is she giving you £500,00? You said you had to pay HER dowry back! I don't think you've been straight with me, Johnny. I feel like you've betrayed my trust. I'm feeling very upset.' 'Oh darling, it's very simple. You've got to understand that ...
  8. in her rage, she seemed to have completely forgotten that I was entitled to half our house and half the proceeds from the cool million pounds she'd absconded with, which really was quite strange. Why had she come searching for me again, I wondered? Perhaps this time she'd be amenable to a deal, she could keep the loot and in exchange give me a quick divorce. 'What exactly do you want, Clothilde, what will it take to finally ...
  9. speak of the devil, the one person on earth likely to put a spoke in my works (apart perhaps from the beautiful, but deadly Pythagoras!) but plague and pesticide, nails in my eyes, wasp up my nose, Clothilde! She marched up to me, hands on hips, gimlet eyes piercing my soul, chin jutting forward like she'd dislocated something and said ...
  10. I really love all the classic songs and singers too, and that's what I've been listening to on spotify. But one of my very favourites is Sarah McLachlan's version of What Child Is This.
