ENGLAND 129 rolls into the 130th.....

Breakfast Coven is once more staged in solitary shifts, with Early-Morning Gusti kicking off the show as she gets to work, trying not to let things get to her, while Catherine clocks in and out on her way to walkies. Elb grumbles in as usual for her shift, and misses Gusti while being slow to post....... Finally, there are enough people in ENGLAND to constitute a coven, and BC proper is under way..... Vanessa wagers how many times her son will be suspended, Jo ponders snoozing with Gerry, and Catherine and Elb discuss a mysterious project in code.........It seems that ENGLAND are visiting the crimpers’ en masse, as most of the Team are dyeing for Saturday.....

Sparkle returns to catch up after her Spanish sojourn, and Els has lost her brother but gained a B&G buddy for Saturday, while Gusti takes a break from being tough at work and practises her sarcasm...... Cathy takes a break from painting and practises her surfing, while Del posts to prove she’s still alive and kicking. Posting is in fits and starts all afternoon - Miss Hyde’s mum is nearly fit, and Lady Grey starts with the WOOTing for Saturday already....... Helpful Travel Rep Catherine posts vital transport info, but puts her foot in it at the hairdressers and may have fired herself.........Jo, Dandie and Barbara offer support.

Euphemia boots her son off the computer in order to engage in higher pursuits, and Paranoid Catherine juggles Plan B along with an End of Thread Alert and Ideas for a new thread........ Freshly shorn Elb arrives in time to see Catherine avert her own crisis and becomes a Woo-man of Letters...... Like laundry day at the convent, ENGLAND is awash with habits - Vanessa and Co have a habit of getting lost, Em makes a habit of hurting herself, and Euphemia is ready for the Knackers’ Yard........ Elb wagers her own ailments against Euph’s, piles all decrepit and ailing Tarts along with a purple-headed Goffy, into a wonky-wheeled shopping trolley and pushes them off to the waiting Funny Farm, carefully disguised as Thread 130 by Catherine......

ENGLAND 130 - 1 B&G screening - 3 days from now - 0 what fun! begins with Wulfiness, and proceeds through Dandie’s laundromat via the Perv Twins’ squishing, to Euston where ENGLAND meet up with Cathy who has been playing with an online route-planner...... Goffy dyes her hair purple and black, while Vanessa’s looks like a bacon frazzle, and Cathy has a square head....... Garlic-breathed Elb frightens Gerracula, and Euphemia admits defeat with de-headache. Em waves her new vids in front of ENGLAND’s depleted audience who appreciate the small but intimate viewing.... Catherine however is deprived of playing Solitaire as her Explorer throws a wobbly, and must reload tomorrow after Breakfast Coven....... Eeyore gets wet with or without Wulfy, and Sparkle can’t come out to play as she has to do her friend’s homework. Elb is indignant that the new member map has moved her to the slums of Weevil, while Eeyore finds she is now living in the river! The starship GB.net’s transporter room is obviously malfunctioning, as Dandie is beamed down to an industrial park, and Jo lives in a field.....

Yorkie rediscovers television, and forewarns of forthcoming Tennant-Tottiness, after watching a programme about finding one’s roots (back to hairdressing again?) ENGLAND discuss theirs, and while Yorkie has illicit ecclesiastical beginnings, Em celebrates finding a Viking or two in her past...... ENGLAND multiple-Gergasms, Eeyore decides to stay in the river and become a mermaid, and Elb shock horror, goes to bed early....... Barbara thinks she’s upset Eeyore, whereas potty-mouthed Eeyore had she forgotten the ancestry programme, but Yorkie sets her straight, and explains about “Who Do You Think You Are?”........ Jo finds it Harder To Breathe after watching Em’s new vid, while Barbara gives her own potted history and due to lack of Gerriness in ENGLAND, Men in BlackSpam is launched.......

Barbara offers to show Yorkie the sights of Zurich, while MIBspam continues unabated, helping to refill Barbara’s depleted Photobucket..... Yorkie sidles off for her bubbles, having led ENGLAND astray, and exhausted tarts follow her example at last, leaving Vanessa on lock-up duty once more. She adds headache tablets to the breakfast menu for those in need, and turns out the lights in ENGLAND.......

Somewhere, a pug in a dinner jacket snores..........
