Who’ll Help Lill ‘Ol Me? Part 2 Update.
My explicit instruction was that Spook come home in better nick than he went out. Turns out he’s tucked up in bed clutching a box of hankies, snivelling. Apparently his wounded leg is ok but he’s caught a nasty cold.
Some of the Mob are now also in worse nick than they went out in. There’s been a bit of Wacky Races going on, methinks.
But the cultural experience has been good and they’ve been able to exchange ideas with the owner of the rifle range where they spent their off bike day. This was a good bonding exercise for The Mob. The Humvee driving owner (the kind of vehicle The Ant Hill Mob dream of) talked them through the mechanism of the guns and then when one of the gang was all poised to shoot (let’s call him Don,) the guy in the next booth fired his shot and Don dived for cover. Thought they’d gone de-mob happy. It’s been tense!
The views have sustained their more thoughtful sides.
Obviously the gang have been worried about their women folk. After all - who WILL look after them. We sent Penelope Pitstop to do a wellness check to see if she could reassure the boyz.
Tracing them was the thing. One had gone to Naples for The Annual Convention of Molls. Like the boyz, she was keen to share ideas. To protect her identity she only supplied a photo of her hydration efforts.
Another was completely untraceable but HAS allegedly left the country.
Their Gal leader, Scary Skins, was happy to let the boyz know nothing has changed back here, but said, huskily, with the tiniest hint of threat “You’s better no be bashed and brooosed….”
Smoky Bacon (Aitken) and Speedy B’Dass had been hanging out at the salon. Unfortunately the Beautician there only does one style….
They said they were fine
Gowitheflo Bifbabe hadn’t realised Smoky and Speedy had been to the Salon too, but it was too late to do anything about it and anyway, she’s happy to fit in. However they’d all been told not to wear the gold earrings at the same time so as not to draw attention…Oopsie.
A cheeky wee red in hand, she said “tell them it’s ok to stay another day or two till Ì can get aw ma pals thru the hoose.”
C’rena MacDollface said “ma hoose is cleaner than it’s been aw year but he can come hame and walk the dug!”
All in all Penelope felt the girls were coping - Lochaber women are made of tough stuff but for those not hanging out at the salon or chilling with a wee glass - we’re on your side. This too shall pass.
