As the Sun beat down they lay on the ground and you could almost hear them talk. It turned out it was just Ethel with her lawnmower. Still, she knows what she likes. Bogey had guided them carefully through the wild country, past the most notorious gathering places of the Ogres, avoiding as many bridgesContinue reading “27. Fat Larry and the Charnel House.”

26. For whom the Trolls Bell.
I suppose it was an artful escape. Hanny at her peak; though Peter would have preferred a peak at Hanny. He was so far out on the relationship now. He knew he owed her his life but could not be sure what she might want in return. If she demanded undying love he had itContinue reading “26. For whom the Trolls Bell.”
Reflections on words
I was going to start with ‘mirror’ but that is just a bad Physicists joke and I am a bad Physicist. When working through chapter 24 tonight and had to look up quite a few words. I love Google – I still remember sitting at home with an Oxford dictionary, a dictionary of etymology andContinue reading “Reflections on words”
The tale continues – I am back in Casablanca
Chapter 23. Losing you. When you’re on the road again you should have a code that you can live by. You can call it the Highway Code and make sure it is available from all good bookshops. When travelling on Uranus such a code would be totally useless, as the highways and byways and blokesContinue reading “The tale continues – I am back in Casablanca”
Chapter 8 – Dumbell Ena
The atmosphere inside the inn was very much like that of any Public House anywhere in the Known Universe. It was probably the same as any Public House in the Unknown Universe but that will never be known.. There was one major difference; you have to travel far and wide on earth to find aContinue reading “Chapter 8 – Dumbell Ena”
Chapter 7 -At the sign of the Slug and Rider.
The afternoon wore on and the Sun sank her heavy head toward the horizon. In a twirl of mysticism the Sun sang, and she wants us all to know that she gets tired too and is glad of the night so she can rest. The quartet trudged south though still in high spirits. They wereContinue reading “Chapter 7 -At the sign of the Slug and Rider.”
Chapter 6 – What happens next?
They sat together in the Great Hall. Now they were seven, Queen Dillberry would have to play keyboards. Rooty toot toot! The pondering had long since finished and all seven were now deep in dialogue. Peter was more than happy with his newly acquired underclothing, though a little perturbed at the potential embarrassment and inherentContinue reading “Chapter 6 – What happens next?”
Chapter 5 – Of Gold mines and magic undies.
The sextet could have formed a magical jazz band. Innocent would have to be the drummer what with being fat and lazy, with Greg on the double bass – his overlong arms and squat legs made him ideal to handle the instrument, while his ugly face would look cool if adorned with shades. Peter wouldContinue reading “Chapter 5 – Of Gold mines and magic undies.”
Chapter 4 – Bearing Our Souls.
It was now a delight to be in the presence of the newly perfumed King, in the Great Hall with its Great Walls and Great Columns and Great Roof and Great Gargoyles. Add to that the of the three most gorgeous babes they had ever seen, the stars of this epic tale were finally ready toContinue reading “Chapter 4 – Bearing Our Souls.”
Chapter 3 – In the Court of the King with the Crimson Face.
It turned out to be much easier than ever to find their way there, to the Great Hall in the Great Castle in the Great City of Setebos. They did turn left and enter door number three. From there they had to work their way along a few deep and dreary back passages but eventuallyContinue reading “Chapter 3 – In the Court of the King with the Crimson Face.”
