cat sanctuary for stray moggies was closing, due to the nonagenarian, who had devoted her whole life to their welfare, departing this earthly plane. No doubt her reward in heaven would be an endless supply of Friskies Finest on which to feed her feline friends thus releasing her from the constant worry of 'what ever shall I feed them today.' 'Johnny, it's a Godsend! Let's go and pick them all up now!' 'How many are there exactly?' I enquired a little nervously. 'Oh, don't worry about little things like that! We'll ...

the nice men, they've worked so hard!' pleaded Rosie. 'You'll get paid when you've finished the job, not before! Now jog on!' I'd dealt with bozzos like this before and felt I had a good handle on the situation. Unfortunately...

Peaceful Easy Feeling ~ Eagles

'm not workin' a minut mar till we see tha bangers n mash upfront loike!' 'Ooooo ... I make a lovely bangers and mash,' trilled Rosie. 'I learnt the recipe when I was volunteering at the Dolepuddle homeless shelter. I'll just pop out and get some ingredients. Now, how many sausages would you each like? I'll get some sauce too, shall I?' Rosie beamed around at the assembled workers. Billy Foreman cleared his throat, but thought ...

sound, although that was difficult to ascertain as the only tooth visible was the snaggle-tooth yellow one. Without opening his mouth (as it was a he), it managed to project a deep menacing growl and everyone rapidly backed off. Excepting Rosie. She was as dotty about dogs as she was about cats. 'Oh puppy!' she exclaimed, 'aren't you just ...

Do Wah Diddy Diddy ~ Manfred Mann

where'd you fink your goin'?' I pretended not to hear him and kept walking. A burly hand grabbed me roughly by the shoulder and spun me round. 'Oi! I was talkin' chew!' 'Get your hands off me, you lout! Major, sort this geezer out, will you?' Rosie started to cry.

'Of course, of course! It's just a matter of liquidating my assets, you know. It all takes time.' I fantasised about tracking Clothilde down, liquidating HER and grabbing the assets she'd shanghied off me. And what I'd like to do with that other two-timing, double-crossing, she-devil witch (or descriptive word that rhymed), Pythagoras! I was dragged out of my pleasurable reverie by ...

when I say there will be certain .. ahem ...stipulations. This so-called enterprise will be in Rosie's name and my accountants, Fleece and Swindle, will oversee the books.
