Well, what happended was that Tesco was chasing me for the turn I think was due Last Friday and which I sent in on Saturday... the turn that came in to my office eddress whcih I forwarded home yesterday had two of my ships having been built and appearing to go off on a frolic of their own..

logically as well, a ship I gave orders to previously and which had a 2 turn journey had arrived so 1 turn must be missing...

I think I am up to date

I think

Save that one turn is missing and in that turn, lord knows what may have happended

EDIT: actually, I submitted my turn to PBW on Saturday and Last night, got an email saying the email had failed. I then uploaded it directly to the site and when I downloaded the next turn, I then found out that 2 ships had frolic..

My brain hurts

Water bubbles up from beneath the floorBoards, until it is almost knee high. Piranhas appear and begin devouring the mongeese, but leaving everything else alone. A platoon of cuttlefish swim forth to collect the 'Tigga trophy. When all the mongeese have been eating, the water and the fish disappear from whence they came.

Back in the depths, a suite of nano-aquatic regurgitation engineers go to work on the piranha, painstakingly sorting the chewed up mongoose bits from the doubly chewed up Dogscoff bits in the mongeese's stomachs. It will be some time before reconstruction can begin...

Ahah, the water and the piranhas retreat below the floorBoards of the cantina leaving the cuttlefish struggling with the clone Tiger head. With a whistle, the real Growltigga summons a group of friendly Japanese fishermen who scoop up all the cuttlefish and taken them away to be turned into tasty treats for the orientals... the head is taken back to the cloning vats.. a new squad of crack killer mongooses is brought to the fore and a crack team of beavers quickly concretes the cantina floor

Growltigga pulls out his comlink and whispers to one of his assets 'activate operation nemo', miles away, lurking in the depths like a giant pelagic shark, a submarine opens its bow doors and lets rip a salvo of anti-"nano-aquatic reguritation engineers" torpoedoes into the depths...the torpedoes close in and strike the engineers, busily separating mongoose from Dogscoff, dead one and a nuclear fuelled explosion rocks the kingdom of the deep

Growltigga whispers into his comlink once more "activate operation bird's eye" and with a bLast of searing actinic light, the Tigg-a PLC strategic defence satellite fires its thrusters and then fires its 'fish finger' ray into the deep.. with a bLast, the rest of Dogscoff's former aquatic minions are turned into appetising fish-based battered products for mass consumption in a chiarascuro of light... more profits for Tigg-a PLC await

but back in the cloning centre, a new dogscoff is being prepared, a more malleable and ameniable dogscoff... one who can be manipulated and who will be more flexible......

<Munching on popcorn>

Trajan sits back in a comfy booth, with a cold Ale in hand and a bowl of popcorn in the other, while waiting for the next episode of..."Death and Dismemberment in the Phong's Head Cantina of Life."

Growltigga picks up his comlink yet again and whispers into it 'activate operation jackie chan'

With a ying and a yang, a couple of highly trained ninjas leap up from behind the bar (surprising Taz who didnt realise they lived in the glass washing machine) and throw shuriken at the doubting Geo.

The shuriken stick into his clothing and pin him to the wall.

One of the ninjas takes off her mask and reveals herself to be Lucy Lui. she strides over to the pinioned Geo and takes out a feather, a tub of crunchy peanut butter and some ball bearings...

"This will teach you for casting dispersions on Growltigga and Dogscoff" and the torture commences..

The rest of the Cantina think it is the best cabaret they have yet seen

Recovering from his initial shock and realizing he was not hurt, Geo notes with intense interest the approaching Lucy Liu bearing the afformentioned peanut butter tub and feather. Not at all afraid at this point he wonders if he should mention these are the ingredients of one his favorite fantasies. He couldn't have been happier than Briar Rabbit at this turn of events.

But Lucy dear, what are you doing with those ballbearings? Ow! Hey, don't do that...

The other ninja takes off her mask and reveals herself to be the hideously ugly one out of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and she menacingly starts walking over to Geo holding a fondue set, some industrail detergent, a tub of stockholm tar and holding the lead on a labrador......

Ninja's, industrial detergent, and a dog all living in the glass washing machine? Geo wonders when the Last time the health department paid a visit to the Catina...

Geo, really,

you would expect to see industrial detergent in the inside of a glass washing machine.. dont you have highly trained ninjas living in your dishwasher? (how else do you think the stubborn stains get removed?) and as for the labrador, he just lives round the back of the cantina and is available for weddings, funerals, parties, bar-mitzvahs etc...

anyhow, you are being tortured by Lucy Lui and the minger so you cannot speak
