clootie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Ambrose checked his quiff in his reflection, sniffed under his wings and appearing satisfied with the results, waddled off in search of Flo. "All the best" the friends chorused "let us know how you get on". Excited at the prospect of a duck wedding, Goatworth was talking hats .........

Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 "I think a big floppy pink one, large brim and a feather boa draped around to hang down my back would be rather fetching don't you think?" He brushed a tear away from his eye. "Weddings always make me cry," he choked. The 4 H's rolled their eyes and agreed that Goatsworth was losing the plot. "We need to get him a girlfriend and quick" said Henry "- I've seen him like this before." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 With a trembling chin Goatworth looked wistful. "Always the bridesmaid and never the bride" he mumbled. "Come on, pull yourself together, we have a fun filled day ahead looking for winkles!!" "I hate winkles" grumbled Goatworth. "Phwoah, what's that awful smell?" cried Henry covering his rather spendid snout .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 "Pardon me" said the sea slug as she oooozed over the rocks. "It's a perfume called 'eau de channel tunnel' and I rather like it, but I have to spray lots of it on me because the sea washes it off". "Oh man! Look at those orange tipped wavy bits! What a beauty! I'm in love" said Goatsworth The others looked at each other - well that was quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm sure I've seen that slug somewhere before ....... mused Henry. I don't think it's a slug at all, I think it's that clever shape shifting warthog Amadeus trying to trick us again. Last time he was a giant dragon fly ....... don't you remember?

Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 "Yes we do" said the 4 H's. Goatsworth just had little hearts for eyes so there wasn't much coming from him apart from dribbling down his chin. "For goodness sake Goatie - keep it together!" hissed Henry.

clootie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The squelching sound the slug was making was quite off putting. "Eeeowww" said Henry, "that's going to put me right off my winkles." Goatsworth on the other hand could only hear violins ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 .........and then they rested on a rock conveniently low and all the little Henrys came and gathered in a row. The time has come Henry said to talk of many things of ducks and goats and warthogs and why the sea is boiling hot and whether millipedes have wings. But wait a while the Henrys said before we have our chat for some of us are out of puff and all of us are flat. No hurry said Goatsworth and thanked him much for that...........

Plum Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 BOOM!! Ambrose and Flo flumped into the middle of them. 'Don't you all go and get reflective on us' said Ambrose polishing the gold star on his chest. 'I need your help, that wicked slug Amadeus is eating the lettuce we are preparing for our wedding breakfast'................euugghh - from the 4 H's can we have some pickled turnips instead.

Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Did I detect a bit of Lewis Carroll in there Plum? Very good. Yes if you insist said Henry. Nooo - don't you get that pickling sauce stuff near me! Yelled Amadeus and with that he squelched back into the sea. "Thank you darlings" said Flo and then turned to gaze lovingly into Ambrose eyes. They kissed - well - beaked each other. EWWWWWWW! chorused the 4 H's. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! breathed Goatsworth "He's all gooey eyed again!" Said Henry rolling his eyes, "we'd better find him a girlfriend fast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hmmmm "If we told him Trudy was a nanny do you think he'd fall for her? She'd love his wacky ways, I always thought she needed someone who got her goat?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Trudy would be great for him. Lets try and find her before he completely loses the plot - and his legs - his brain has almost packed up and gone for a picnic in a galaxy far far away.

Valkyrie Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ambrose do you know how we can find Always Always Land? Sure, Flo and I will give you a lift after the wedding - we fly over there on our way to our honeymoon. We are more comfy than the shnozzlebird airtours - bit basic they are. No feathers, all naked necks and backs. Nothing to cling on to. They have lots of accidents where they lose their passengers. But they are cheap. It would be our pleasure said Flo - a thank you gift for getting Rosie and me together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 "Look darlin" said Flo to Amadeus admiring his chest "pop darn ta Homebase and get us some of them slug pellets ta kill the little blighters- then its sorted innit?" She looked at herself in his medallion and primped her beehive of feathers -"what is it wiv you roosters (he is a rooster isnt he?) can't ya fink for yerselves?" And with that Amadeus hopped into his Merc and roared off down the Shoreditch High Street to Homebase.

Alis girls Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 "no worries Cloots me old cockney sparra" mused Flo readjusting the beehive which needed a good comb. "slugs are slime - we'll get of em doncha worry luv" Meanwhile Amadeus (where did they get that name) was fast loosing the plot (he'd never actually found it) - he spotted some geezer in a fetching overall and ambled over " ere mate where can i find the slug pellets?" The geezer pointed and Amadeus wandered off. Some time later they were stood over the slug - pellets in hand - "say a prayer son" Amadeus crowed menacingly at the slug ............ the bait was laid ......... they wandered off to listen to the Archers and have a cuppa leaving the slug to his fate..................

Alis girls Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Dont worry Plum - I never had it - some of the characters seem to have fallen by the wayside but assumed this was normal - used to do this at school - how childish are we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Goatsworth rubbed his sleepy eyes "I feel as if I've just been in a parallel universe" he said to Henry who was busy filing his claws. "What colour are we painting them today then, magenta?" This was Henry's favourite colour, well, it was this week anyway! "Hmmm, I can't decide" Henry replied. "I'm torn between that and fuschia" Suddenly there was a terrible screech and the ground began to shake ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Next doors plumbing was playing up again scarey stuff - Henry settled on Magenta for his claws - it was made by L'oreal cos as he said to Goatsworth "because I'm worth it GW rolled his eyes and settled down for a sleep.......

Valkyrie Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 @ the recent ones!!! When all of a sudden the ground shook and GW shot up into the air on a fountain of water - the mains had burst with all the rain over in an Empire far far away and the last drop was one too many and repercussions were felt all over the land. GW felt it up his tail end! Whoooohoooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Some people pay money to have that done to them, said Henry. But do you feel as though you are toxin free now?

Valkyrie Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Always Always land. There was a bright hope amongst the crew that they would find Trudy for the lovesick Goatsworth. Who was rubbing his hindquarters gingerly. Well that was lucky said one of the 4 H's. Now all we need is some wind. Anyone got a tin of baked beans?

Alis girls Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 "I have " said Henry producing a family sized tin of beans "thats why dads go to Iceland" - "anyone got a tin opener?" Goatsworth sighed " use your claws" he said thoughtfully - so they settled down to beans on toast. Suddenly Goatsworth had a lightbulb moment " Iceland you say " he turned the boat North "start knitting its gonna get colder" and steered the boat towards the Northern lights "I fancy seeing Bjork in concert" they sailed off into the sunset the sound of knitting needles furiously working away ...................
