    Default BoB SALUTE 2014: Stay CAlm, Carry on, but Save our Chip Shop!

    "Achtung Kammeradden, today is a day to celebrate. We have identified the enemies secret weapon The Chip Shop. It is an all out effort we must succeed. For if we succeed we will break the moral of the enemy to keep fighting. To your aircraft men."

    Really good game. Shame the last Heinkel "plaiced" its bombs bang on target. (have we done all the fish puns yet?)

    You mean like, When they said they were going to bomb our Chippy I thought the Germans were just codding, but it turned out they had no sole, so we set up the pub as a red herring.
    that sort of thing?

    Well I dont know the whole thing sounded a bit fishy to me & I thought the Germans were "Squareheads" but it seems they might have been "flatheads"?

    Seriously chaps that was a great game with lots of action. Well Done!

    After that, I really have got nothing to carp about Neil, you wee Geordie scampi. Please do not flounder about seeking any more puns, even though you are a dab hand at it. Please just mullet over and call it a dace.
    Otherwise you will have me falling off my perch with laughter.

    If I take a bigger bite and it gets stuck I might just flounder and be all crabby. So why don't we all head over to the mess and do the Conger on the way.
