Patty sitting alone on her stool watched whilst she delicately slurped sipped a glass of merlot she supposed it couldn't be described as stockpiling as it wouldn't last that long she wondered if maybe she should just hang around, give the place a good clean and ensure the stock protected against 'looters'....

Peter and Taff appeared "I have found the perfik hidyhole for us all, its warm has plenty of food and no virus are we up for it?" Patty looked up and asked the important question "does it have wine?" John fro his muffled coverings asked "beer" "yes" said Peter "are we going?"

Flappy thought it sounded too good to be true so was probably not the best way forward he decided to pump Peter for more info and could he bring Mrs Flappy because the government had told her she is vulnerable and must not go out at all but she can open a window. Flappy thought somewhere warm and virus free seemed to be just the ticket

Peter took them for a quick trip to his hidey hole, the gang gaped in amazement it was a deserted south pacific island, plenty of wildlife, lovely freshwater lake, paradise was the only word for it, the gang looked at Peter and asked in unison "whats the catch?" Peter pointed to the volcano and said "the locals believe that is an evil god and wont come near the place, I have scouted out supplies for the place and we will have to grow crops and make power but thats all easy stuff, the problem is we will have to stay here for a couple of years at least!" The gang looked at Peter and then realised he had visited the future and clearly it wasnt good...........................

Flappy didn't believe in beating around the Bush so cleared his throat and stood on a beer crate, everybody thought oh dear Flappy is going to speak again and started towards the door. Flappy spoke clearly, "so Peter, we must stay here for a couple of years which begs the question WHY?"

John shuffled his feet and plucked up his courage and said "Uh, yeah, wofor? " He looked around at the rest of the gang and then at Peter and muttered under his breath "I mean like yeah"
sometimes you have to support your mate,even if your not sure what the reason is

"Cwang!
' Ugger"
swore MetalWoman, pulling the mask down as she tripped over the gravy stained cat who was purring furiously, wrapping his tail around her shin guard and trying to nuzzle her red suede(?!) welder's gauntlet.
Upon hearing the commotion the occasional table swiftly turned into an impressive walnut Davenport, proudly producing a thick vellum envelope ………….

John stuck his head round the door to check if Flappy was hiding in there. He raised one eyebrow (he had just spent the afternoon watching reruns of the Saint) as he noticed the rather nice walnut Davenport but swiftly turned his attention to the task in hand. He needed a big hammer to bend a angle iron straight ....ish .....John knew Flappy had one of exactly the right size in his toolbox but in order to "borrow" it he needed to know Flappy was safely out of the way. Life was very complicated when you couldn't acquire new steel and had to make do with what you could ..... err ....find

Peter took Patty to May 2021 she was horrified at what she saw, he took her on a world tour and all she saw were empty streets and even emptier shops. they went back to the island which was paradise with it white sand and fresh water, the vines they had planted were growing well, Patty looked around and said to all assembled "think we will stay here for a couple of years, Peter says the future hasnt been written properly so every time he visits it changes the world governments dont know what to do" Peter saw a morose John and told him scavenging trips were on the cards for the past only as the future wasnt safe, but he could bring back pretty much anything he wanted.....................................

Flappy walked in looking for his 2nd best hammer and heard Peter mention scavenging, that is something I'm not shabby about said Flappy to John. I reckon you and I had better make a list of what we want and then go and liberate it . With that Flappy pulled out his famous indelible pencil stub and a curled up fag packet and began to write

Oh goody thought Patty, a shopping trip in the past, she wondered which era Peter had in mind as obviously there was many many items needed to ensure life on Patty's Pacific Paradise progressed as it should.......

Flappy had also thought about a name for the beautiful Pacific island, he thought that a topical name might be more fitting.....Peaceful Pacific Eden or PPE for short.

John was sitting on the deck with a glum expression. This all sounded ever so nice but John had a earworm running through his brain "if it sounds too good to be true.....it probably is"
He sighed, he had just supported his mate at first because it was all a bit complicated. Flappy seems to be blowing that way now but John's Puritan instincts were telling him that if it was easy it wasn't worth having
