Flappy was lovingly polishing his tandem trike, it gleamed in the sunshine and he idly flicked a speck of dust from the glistening paintwork, his mood was somewhat morose and bearing in mind the world circumstances he longed for a spell in the wild, with his companions. A spark of an idea popped into his head, what about a little jaunt in the Stealth Punt, that would brighten everybody up. So Flappy rang his mucker on his mobile phone this took a while because he had to rig up the battery bank, a pair of mahoosive LA 200a/hr jobbies. When he finally got through he heard the quizzacle voice of John saying "if you are trying to sell me something I must warn you I'm bankrupt" Flappy had heard this dozens of times before and just talked over John who realising it was Flappy brightened up. Flappy was having trouble because since Xmas he was hounded by the Gravy Stained Cat who was currently draped across his shoulders like a stole. Flappy put his notion to his mate and awaited his response

John staggered over to His Best Mucker as he arrived on the incredibly shiny tandem trike "suppose he had nowt else to do during lockdown" he thought as he creaked over to it. "You alright" said Flappy
(who John thought at first was looking smart, until he realised the fur stole he was wearing was actually the Gravy Stained Cat.)
"Not really" said John "I did a day of log splitting day before yesterday and a day of working on the rubbing bands on the miniature yoghurt pot punt yesterday ...... and today I can hardly move" "Well" said Flappy not really taking in the implications "I've got this cunning plan" John's face fell with an audible thud, He had been planning on a day of recovery and pain removing medicine i.e. many pints of Gruntfuttocks Finest. Then a thought occurred "I know, why don't we sit down and discuss this over a flagon or two of Gruntfuttocks" he said disingenuously.

Adventure was just what the Dr ordered...well would have if Patty had ask...that is if Patty had managed to get an appointment...that is if she had needed one and if she could have found one cos goodness knows where her GP had spent Lockdown. Time also to test the mettle, bravery and resources of the White Wolf and to restock her depleted handbag Besides she was bored and anyone who knew her also knew a bored Patty could be a real pain...... She looked down at Freya who seemed to be perfecting her 'chilled, laid back, I'm going nowhere' look... this would be fun, finally her dog would wake up to the delights of exciting times....

Peter listened in on Gravy cat cam, he was currently on an island where the virus hadnt gone, it was a stunning place with a natural harbour for his yacht, Taff was lounging in the sun with Hugo, Peter sighed and poured himself another Chilled Lemonchello and thought maybe

Unbeknown to Peter his every word was relayed via Taffcam to one of the ThunderPunt hard drives and his location was public knowledge thanks to GPS and that too was stored on hard drive. Luckily for the gruesome twosome Peter had forgotten about the Taffcam and so it was that a trip to a far off land became a reality. Flappy decided to make a list of essential requirements for the trip. Out came Flappy"s famous indelible pencil plus an old envelope. 1/ Gruntfuttocks.... LOTS OF IT 2/ Rusty Rats Tail. ditto 3/ Merlot. A vast amount 4/ WD40 more than enough 5/ Lemonchello 6 bottles 6/ Food Crisps , Peanuts, Twiglets Pork Scratchings oh and some Squirrel Scratchings Flappy turned the old envelope over to continue his list but felt the need of a rest, thankfully Flappy had resisted licking his indelible pencil... he had not forgotten the previous occasion which had resulted in receiving the CPR from Patty he shuddered at the memory

Peter had discovered that pattys family had forgotten it was her birthday, he sighed and fired up the multiple teleporter he locked on all the gang and presses the button seconds later they were there! The puzzled looks soon turned to smiles Flappy was delighted to see the Italian waitress from Capri, Patty and freya arrived last as the party had to e ready for her, Peter had checked and plenty of Merlot was available along with some very good champers, Patty arrived scowling and immediately tripped over Freya who had half a tree in her mouth, the gang resisted laughing and shouted Happy Birthday Patty................

John was hunting through the heap of goods that had come through the portal with him ..... Boy, he really hated this type of transport, although he understood the requirement this time "Ha. there it is" he muttered and recovered his favourite battered straw hat. Right he thought "Beer o'clock it is" and headed towards the rest of the gang

"Clanging hell!! Portals or portholes? YOU trying getting this load of metal through either of them...." chuntered MetalWoman, resetting her patella.
"Good to see you again after all this time, folks. Thanks so very much for the WD40, Flappy - loving the new tandem trike - but you must have forgotten that Patty DETESTS marmite so you'd better hide those Twiglets pdq.... after all, it IS supposed to be her birthday bash. John's favourite battered straw hat looks like an interesting receptacle...... and a damn sight more dapper than the flea-bitten cat you've draped round your neck - makes one wonder what magazines you've been perusing during lockdown??
Cheers, Patty - Happy Birthday - there's a vat of Merlot somewhere behind the bar person thingy with your name on just for you on my tab - or should I say - Flappy's paying?!"

Flappy blanched at the phrase "Flappy's paying" in fact he came close to falling into a dead faint. John rushed to his aid and began flapping a bar towel vigorously while humming his mantra (Staying Alive) Flappy sat while he recovered and looked daggers at Metal Lady, however Flappy soon recovered his joie de vie and told Metal Lady not to worry because he'd had a little tickle on the 'Orses and it was thus that he was a bit flush

Flappy winced as the Gravy Stained Cat flexed his claws and really secured his grip on Flappy's shoulders all because of the scrutiny of Freya (aka the white wolf) Flappy called out to Patty, "can you please give your dog a bone to gnaw on to take her mind off the cat"

Patty issued the simple command 'Leave' and Freya lay at her feet....however every once in a while she would lift her head to gaze at the Gravy Stained Cat...100% compliance not in her rule book. Now that all the gang had arrived they would no doubt hear Flappy's plans for their next jaunt..It was time they trekked out so that she could collect some more treasures.

It was time for new plans, the gang were eating and drinking the island away! Some pubs when they reopened were going to get a severe shock, as Peter had teleported their not needed stock away, it was the same with restaurants, Peter had emptied the freezers to keep the gang fed, he hoped the thank you notes would help them get over the shock. Still the gang needed an adventure so it was time to plan one he thought
