You are a STAR Fran. Gutted for you but in complete awe of the challenge you took on. I imagine you will are already stuck in to your recovery and thinking of flying kites to new heights! Good lad.

MRE foods were developed to sustain soldiers engaged in combat, training, or performing other duties during military operations. Armed Forces personnel are supplied with military meals when they are out on maneuvers and there is no mess hall facility available.

Hey-up Fran my fellow pastry maker, i,ve been at it again working frantically on your behalf. I have pre-empted massive success for both you and Mustard and firmly believe that on completion, national if not global recognition will be the order of the day. I have phoned many, many celebs asking them to put their endorsement towards something other than fake jungle scenarios and despite many rather rude knock-backs have once again triumphed where others have fallen!.
You will on returning to Hinckley bus station have to man-haul back to Derby Rd. You will be met by Rod, Jane and Freddy dressed as Hawaians singing their signature tune “Whacka whacka hula hula” who will accompany you until you reach the Union. There you will be asked to put on some roller blades and will be towed up Stockwell Head by none other than the Sooty van, inside which Mathew Corbett will attempt a drive by magic trick with both hands inside glove puppets. Turning left at the top you will once again be on Shank’s pony and Jamie Effing Cullam will trot behind you slapping wildly at a travel piano whilst gurning( he must be on tour then). You will soon be in sight of home and there to meet you,amidst bunting, glitter,banners and me will be the remaining members of Pickety Witch who will present you with the Pickety Witch plaque for Polar Perfection.
You’ll know you’ve arrived!

A-Hoy there my old reptile smuggler, you may be wondering why you haven’t heard from me for a while. Well Fran, i’ve been on an expedition myself. I’ve done Darley Dale, Measham and Droitwitch or as i called it, the M D M A tour as you need to be completely detatched from reality in order to succeed. I was to nautically circumnavigate the three aforementioned honeypots in an old tin bath (plug in) with only a three legged alsation for company. Like most expeditions there were flaws from the off but i consider myself an accomplished individual so i evolve, adapt, overcome and triumph!. I checked on google earth for an appropriate jetty from which to launch my vessel. Ashby de la zouch seemed a great place to start however on arrival it turned out to be the disabled ramp of the Co-op. 36 hours i waited for the tide to come in, didn’t happen, must have been a fault with the inlet valve. Nil Desperandom! i convinced a paper boy to swap his bike for my bath and put the dog in the satchel, made up no end of time. Got a puncture on the way back and had to man-haul the M69, still home James and Rose wine still 3 for a tenner. Speak soon. Finno.

Sorry, missed the radio thing, i was applying some trouser tape for a temporary genital uplift. Used a bit too much though, lets just say it was high noon on my sundial. Wasn’t easy convincing the woman at the londis that it was an hereditory genetic disfunction and all would be well in the morn. Oh well, got me stella, i’m alright jack!
