A Story from The Tube ...

[Urzzz1871]

Charles always tells the story when his choir got to go on TV in the 70's and got to sing with the king.

He recalls quite vividly how the all had to surROUND ELvis as he belted out one of his hits.

[RobbieM]

It was, indeed a MONUMENTal moment.

[Soup Dragon]

Whilst all these shenanigans had been going on WARREN STREET, who was still on the trail of WES TACTON, had contacted his chums at the METROPOLITAN Police. First on the scene was Sergeant LLOYD PARK, who promptly arrested CHARLES DENton for theft of the bag.

[RobbieM]

Charles couldn't decide how to respond to his arrest. He was a bit of a ditherer. But the arrest of this unsuRE GENT SPARKed a string of further arrests.

I'm not sure I have heard of 'Charlesden'

• I'm not sure I have heard of 'Charlesden'

  Hmm - yes, tricky when the word begins with a capital letter anyway...

With the mugger safely put away, let's get back to Wes, Colin and Sister Mary. They really felt they needed to get away from it all. But where to go? Several places were suggested - Harrogate, Lulworth Cove in Dorset, even a distant country like Uruguay.

In the end, they settled on a place. "Where to?" said the taxi driver.

"TakE US TO Norwich!" the group responded!

[RobbieM]

So off they went. Now, the taxi driver, a large chap called Wayne, thought it would be wise if they stopped for lunch en route (well, it was a long way). He was on a diet, but chose a greasy spoon café anyway. The trouble was, with the plentiFUL HAM, BROAD WAYne got even broader.

(Incidentally, whilst on a meaty subject, in B.K. flAMERS, HAM can be found, I think...)

[RobbieM]

• No action in this thread recently; let's see if anyone comes up with any more suggestions ... I'll try one:

When they reached Norwich, they continued north to the wonderful National Trust gardens nearby at Felbrigg Hall. But then they thought that Lulworth Cove may have been a better option. You see, unlike Lulworth COVE, N.T. GARDENs charge for entry ...

[Starkey7]

Don't BANK on it; they'll soon be levying an entrance fee there too, and charges for deckchairs are on the UP. MINSTERs, abbeys, museums, and wildlife centres are all doing the same.

[RobbieM]

(Yes, you're probably right!)

But it was too late now for Colin, he was out of money. You see, the money he'd spent at the Greasy Spoon had left the poor LAD BROKE. GROVElling to the others, he asked if they could lend him a few bob...

[RobbieM]

• ... Oops - made a mistake here; I've deleted it ...

[RobbieM]

Don could indeed help - "Champion!" the others shouted. It's true, Don was a cHAMP. STEADily, he recounted the story from the start...

[Steeevooo]

Towards the end of his story somebody shouted out from the crowd: "A film should be made out of this! If we can get Johnny DEPP IN Garish outfits then he would be the ideal man!"

[RobbieM]

Sure enough, Johnny was up for the gig. He had just finished playing a game with his children, and had put the equipment away. He told Don on the phone: "After we finished playing hooPLA, I STOWed the equipment in the shed immediately. So I can come right away!"

[hopeful traveller]

The problem was that Johnny had to commutE AS T. HAM was his long-lost grandfather, so he had to go to Azerbaijan to help him every day.
