A thought popped into Flappys head, a light bulb moment if ever there was one, havlng seen the effect that the smell of Dreamies had on Mrs BB it dawned on Flappy that if he was able to introduce the smell into the atmosphere he would be able to control the population at large. Aerosol!! that's the way to go but how to achieve it presented the real problem. Flappy thought about the resources that he had and it seemed to point to just one thing...... the Thunder Punt !! It would be simple to get the crew together and simply cruise about spraying the scent of Dreamies into the atmosphere, simples!!

When Flappy summoned the gang and outlined his latest hare brained scheme for World domination, Patty wondered why on earth he'd want to control a population infected with Covid......

Peter wondered if Flappys plan was as half baked as they thought, he could easily have the vaccine added to the mix and low and behold all would have the winning vaccine free of charge and non the wiser to it either. Mmmm he thought if it could fly it would be even quicker to distribute it, with that he traveled to the future to arrange it dreamy flavoured vaccine he laughed as he disappeared

Patty wondered if they'd have to try and stop the Big Red Geezer this year or whether Covid would do it for them.... She wondered if reindeer and elves caught Corona All this wondering left her quite fatigued so she ordered a large Merlot and popped it on Flappys slate(as u do)

John had been giving some thought to the punt's dreamies trip but was disturbed by flashing mental images of Trina smashing through the bulkhead after the source of the dreamies smell. He shuddered as it caught him unawares again. "maybe if I added some elastic mesh she would bounce back again" he shuddered even more, the thought of a high speed ricocheting Trina was just too much. He would have to start working on a different project

Peter appeared in the punt silently he disposed of the mighty lister into the past and placed the box from the future where it had been, he connected the interface to the old lister controls and gave it a try, it sounded just like the lister apart from the punt started to hover, Peter smiled and patted the fusion reactor fondly, he adjusted a few bits on it with his remote and set security on both the remote and the reactor he smiled to himself as he wandered off and fitted the vaccine dispenser to finish of the task in hand...........................

John wandered into the engine room and in an automatic action (perfected by many years of dealing with incalcitrant Listers) swung his hammer with deadly accuracy. There was a loud bang and a funny shower of blue and green sparks .......
John gazed perplexed at the strange box that was where a proper engine should have been. His hammer was embedded in the strange thing and as he watched his hammer began to disolve into the strange black whirlpool that was forming at the edge of the box.
On the wall the long forgotten radiation counter he had installed just after Chernobyl began to chatter

At that exact moment Flappy wandered in and saw the whole sorry episode, Ooops said Flappy and expressed his extreme puzzlement. Where did that come from and what have you done with the mighty Lister? John scratched his head and tried ro retrieve his hammer but try as he might he could not shift the fast disappearing tool. All the while the rad counter was chattering faster and louder than ever. The 2 boys stood and wondered what the heck was going on when Peter burst in and surveyed the scene. Seeing Flappy and John he howled in angùsh, he hurriedly explained that John had released the Black Hole that had laid in the strange box ready to do Peter's bidding and was now somewhat out of control. John poked Peter and demanded to know where the Mighty Lister was and then broke5 down when Peter told him. Flappy brightened up and suggested they retrieve the engine and leave it on the back deck for a while, 3 weeks should be enough .

At this point in time or whatever it was Patty wandered in, at her heels as the white wolf she'd acquired someplace at some time... 'Look lads' she said ...'Dunno wots happening but just remember I;'m in charge' At this...Freya howled.....echoed through eternity the howls of other wolves echoed...plus the unmistakable sound of Molly...... Flappy, John and Peter froze.........

At this point Mrs BB came in hoping for Dreamies but the Freya howl put her off and her attention was caught by the din that the rad counter was making, she began clicking her fingers and stomping her heels in time to the wayward sound. Mrs BB said " hey wicked casternets" and carried on dancing

Patty realised she'd seen those rad counters before and something was going on here that she needed to know about..and no doubt the perpetrator of these shenanigans probably Peter..... Fixing Flappy with her best Granny Glad stare she demanded to know if he knew what Peter was up to this time.......

Flappy shifted uncomfortably, shuffling his feet while trying to avoid " The Look". Crikey it was worse than the Mrs Flappy stare he thought. Flappy began to weaken and stuttered that er uhm er Peter was trying to help and er it had gone a little bit wrong on account of John's actions with the starting hammer. Patty shrieked "A little bit wrong, a little bit, it can't get any worse with a rogue black hole galloping loose in the engine 'ole intent on swallowing the Thunder Punt and all of its occupants " Flappy pleaded with Patty for help and the Dominatrix thought that possibly the use of Granny Glads Cure All might help. She delved into the mysterious depths of her hand bag and came out with a bottle, she uncorked it and poured a little into the black hole, the black hole gulped and shudddered a bit but carried on. Undeterred Patty poured a huge slug of Cure All into the hole which promptly slammed shut. It disappeared and the rad counter fell silent, Mrs BB whined "oh what happened to the music" and a collective sigh of relief rang out. Patty crossed her arms and decided that SHE would take charge as it was obvious the boys were useless.

Peter watched on in amusement the security worked fine once the hammer had been dissolved it would have started on the hammer wielder. he pressed a button on the remote and the box shimmered and repaired itself, then activated its force field something Peter should have done before. He took the gang upstairs and gave them a quick demo, the punt moved and sounded just like before, as they came up to some locks the punt hovered over them saving the bother of opening and shutting them, the gals were impressed. Peter then in!creased the throttle and the punt was really airborn and flying supersonic in seconds! Patty had a look which the gang knew only to well "this will make catching Big Red really easy" she said and gave a big smile "I like it Peter and can I have a copy of that remote" she asked...................

John and Flappy watched the punt disapearing into the distance as they drifted gently down on the emergency parachutes they had installed after the last time that Peter had tried to whisk them away to the future. He just didn't seem to understand that as far as the two old codgers were concerned, if it wasn't in the Fred Dibnah's book of back street mechanicking they weren't interested. Oily, smokey, cantankerous ..... that was the kind of engineering for them. "Oy Flappy" John called across "I've heard where there might be a 6 cylinder air cooled that could be acquired for not too many beer tokens or there is a Lister Blackstone that is a runner but not in use that might be made to "disappear" "
