ENGLAND 103-104: Still Smelling..........

Poor Gusti continues her solitary confinement in cold, dark Breakfast Club, and is long gone before Catherine arrives to turn on the lights and wonder if Elb is up for her early-morning shift yet? She receives a prompt reply in the affirmative, as Elb’s patient is demanding drugs already..... Elb however, is mightily peed off that her 5555th post is celebrated in the relative silence of Breakfast Club where there is fat chance of any sunstantial WOOTage....... Catherine makes up for it with multiple WOOTs and Mexican waves, and Elb the Grumpy is grateful that at least ONE Paranoia Sister is around to help her celebrate, while Yorkie is still asnore... She devilishly dithers about celebrating her 6666th post instead, but decides against it. Catherine heads out stuffed, for frog-running (or so early-morning dyslexic Elb thinks) leaving her to download Gerry-karaoke, while Jo the Also-Grumpy stumbles in, complaining of impending visitors...... Elb is still way behind with Abridging despite getting up early, Els does a hi-bye fly-by, and Catherine the Domestic Goddess promises an early return from work.........

Els posts up a link to the best eBay auction ever..... (Post 244 peeps - you HAVE to look!) and Em joins in once again from work/play, when she warns never to mess with her mate with PMT, and never wear blue jeans against a blue screen...... Miss Hyde doesn’t want to go to the Job Centre and spits the dummy, BartlettGirl Els is dead - long live LadyGreenFairy Els.... Goffy flies in for lunch, congratulates Elb on 5555 posts and notes that Gerry is wearing a F**k me - I’m Famous bracelet.... Em, Goffy, Evangelia and Els keep the home fires burning during the afternoon shift with chat of BriTart Productions, and Del joins in from the not so EasyInternet cafe, so minds her manners and counts her blessings. ENGLAND are delighted to see her back, albeit briefly, and Els makes plans to take Jack sightseeing on Sunday. Del gets her panda fix for the day, and Goffy elects to remake 300 for the Spartan bedtime boffing! Time runs out for Del, and she sends love to all before departing and Evangelia leaves Draculation to tickle ENGLAND’s fancy, while bored-at-work Em does Rolf Harris impressions and fiddles with Drac’s cheeks...Goffy is impressed. ENGLAND chat about Gerry’s comment at Comic Con in which he considers different genres, and Catherine issues the customary End of Thread Alert..... Em wants to see Gerry play a nasty piece of work, while Catherine riding to the rescue, posts up the new thread: ENGLAND hits 104 degrees - BritTarts spontaneously combust thinking about Spartan home life.... She adds a handy ice bucket to the thread to douse overheated passions, and Els swan-dives in a la Cap’n Jack...... Em attempts to keep her head above Gutler level, but decides to finish Drac off tomorrow. After Em’s pokalicious picspam, Goffy’s mind wanders but leaves the answering machine on........ Els threatens ‘Men in Towels’ for later,

ENGLAND gets another overseas visitor in the shape of Canadian Sunshine, although whether she visits by accident or design is unclear.......... In any case, she’s welcomed by Catherine and Em, so at least ENGLAND remember their manners! Catherine posts a verra interesting snippet about 300 from another thread, hinting that one particular scene of er....Spartan homelife will get much replay...... (Elb makes a note to order an extra copy of the DVD just in case....) Miss Hyde bids a good afternoon to all who dwell amongst the drool buckets, but has an unsuccessful interrogation by the Job Centre.

Els presents the promised Towelspam to great effect, and reveals that she too shows up in a yellow towel in a Photobucket search! Posting in ENGLAND is strangely sporadic during the evening, but Euphemia manages to drop by, as do Catherine and Sparkle, who introduces her new car - Luna - to ENGLAND! BabyElb overdoes the exercise and has to rest up with DVDs, while Barbara is Towellist and WOOTs only for yellow....... Cathy wonders when Team ENGLAND’s day shift actually get any work done, and Els has Adventures in Dyeing..... Sparkles dreams of domesticated Gerriness, but will have words if he can’t come up with more exciting nocturnal activities! Yorkie contemplates renaming her Freelander with something altogether more Butlerish, loves the Towel Brigade, but thinks no-one wants to play bar lonely Del who hugs via text.... Catherine is Devon’s own Miss Marple and spots bunny-boilers ahead of the cops, and Elb finally wrests control of her keybard from her (im)patient and gives an update: Patient recovering well, but suffering from Chronic Boredom, alleviated by doses of kiddivids...... Nurse Elb also impatient as urge to blog overrides tendencies towards TLC for patient....... She and Yorkie pass like ships in the night, prompting Boatspam as Yorkie is off on yet another holiday shortly, and Cathy gets technical with the Sound Of Gerric, while Catherine bores herself to sleep with car talk......

Marsha the Not-So-Quiet-Admirer bigs herself up, then down again, and dreams of playing with Gerry online, while Yorkie gets ideas above her station, and isn’t content with being a mere Spartan’s wife - she wants the King! Benevolent Marsha issues greetings all round, but Yorkie sails off into the night, Barbara does a runner, Chief Sound Engineer Cathy heads for the showers, and Nurse Elb clocks off her shift. Feisty Eeyore HOOTs for OwlWatch then hangs up her binoculars and settles down in her nest, leaving Marsha to tuck ENGLAND in for the night.........

She leaves the nightlight on before tiptoeing off late for band practise...........
