  2. we could make room for you.' 'Sorry, we're completely booked up, I'm afraid. Too bad, so sad, never mind.' 'Johnny! I'm sure we could fit one more in, after all Jack has kindly helped us out of our predicament.' 'Ahh, doing it for free are you Jack? Very generous of you. Rosie, you better go and see how Daddy's getting on with the hospital, he sounded a bit overwrought. You know, with his blood pressure and all.' 'Oh, dear Daddy! I've been neglecting him!' and she rushed off. 'Now look here, Weldit, I'll have you know ...

    Rest in Peace

    I haven't heard of him, Muggle, but if his show was your second favourite to Northern Exposure, it must have been right up there. Loved Northern Exposure, one of a kind.
  5. the proprietor?' 'One moment, and I'll get him,' I said, handing the phone to Daddy and making myself scarce. 'Major Flowers here, to whom have I the pleasure of speaking? .... Now listen here young man, I'm not in the habit of tolerating being addressed in that discourteous manner! Let me speak to your superior, I wish to make a complaint.' I left them to it and went to see how old Weldit was getting on extricating the umbrella from the loo. It had been jammed in with such force that it had contorted itself around the S bend. Rosie was being plumber's assistant and handing him adjustable wrenches, plungers etc and keeping up a constant flow of ...
  6. eyes open wide taking in the pie splattered portrait of the Queen, overturned chairs, cats hanging off curtains and perched on high cupboards and sniffing suspiciously at a rather unpleasant odour emanating from the WC's. 'We've had a wee spot of bother,' explained Rosie, 'I wonder if you could help us sort things out.' She gave her winning smile which seemed to melt the hearts of even the most tungsten variety. ''appy to be of service, Miss,' he said doffing his hat and giving a low bow. 'How are you on blocked loos?' I asked. 'I'll have you know ...
  7. 'll be in business.' 'Yes, Daddy,' said Rosie meekly, then, 'may I have a word with you, Johnny?' Here goes, I thought, the proverbial's gonna hit the fan! 'Johnny, I'm very proud of the way you handled the situation today and I'm sorry for being the cause of all the trouble. While I was locked in the conveniences, I had time to reflect on your marital situation and I think I understand why you’ve acted the way you have. Can you forgive me?' Rosie had tears trickling down her cheeks. 'Oh Rosie ...
  8. down! We're closing now so if you'd kindly vacate the premises. As you leave I'll issue each one of you with a free complimentary coffee and cake voucher,' I said loudly. And more quietly, 'I'd appreciate if you're going to ring the Police, Mark, that you'd use the correct name for our establishment! It's 'Johnny and Rosie's Pussy Galore Cat Cafe' ... from the movie you know.' This actually had a calming effect on Mark and he started to waffle on about the comparative merits of the various James Bond movies. The other patrons were now ...
  9. 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 ...
  10. Another Christmas Song ~ Stephen Colbert
  11. 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 ...
  12. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas ✨️🎄

  14. 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 ...
