Ay up!

Why not enrol 'em as Riot Police?

Can you see even a bunch of drunken Millwall fans standing up to a wall of snarling, gnashing Wallets?

I'm starting to warm towards this idea.

Anyone know where I can get a female?

Mrs BB says: NO!!!!!! I have enough to deal with with just the one! He's a very naughty boy.....

Back to 84A in the bitless desert that is the Midlands.....
Now BB, I happened to do a slight detour yesterday to Signal Box at Anstey who were happy to give me a respectable discount on the Bachmann 4-road shed that I intend to use as the basis for a desktop diorama to distract me from earning my keep. :oops:

Anyway, as it was lunch time I decided to grab some chips from the village fish and chip shop. :wink:

The owner, a Brummie residing in Leicestershire, advised me when asked, that when he fulfilled a similar service to the community in the Black Country, he did indeed add bits to his chips. :shock:

I am concerned that you are therefore making disparaging remarks about an area that has similarly fine traditions as your native Yorkshire.

As a West Midlander myself, I am not sure what further action to take. :lol:

A bit of subterfuge is required, Earl. Sneak up from behind and spray his chips with white, rather than malt, vinegar. It's a desperate move, I know, but all's fair in love and war. He'll be in a position of weakness on two counts. One: Low morale from decades of 'no bits'. Two: Physical weakness from having had to wrestle the wallet to pay for his supper in the first place. :evil:

The Wallet has had its annual bashing and is slowly recovering. It merely clipped my fingernails when exctracting dosh to pay for a round.....
