egbert Posted 1 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2005 Guys , be patient its becoming a long lasting and hopefully interesting thread back into time; piece by piece we have a time difference of 7 hrs and I am at work right now -no access to the trunk; the messenger dog is guarding vigorously= he only accepts me examining the trunk when distracted by his daily food ration which comes tonight; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 1 November , 2005 Share Posted 1 November , 2005 "Take Your Pick".............Open the box was an option,they say your memory starts to go when you pass 50,{From one who knows!} Your Quiz & Inqusitor tonight is Mr Michael Miles...........Werent Sunday evenings gentle way back then! It'll be full of Reichsmarks,pre Inflation............Loaf of bread anyone? Dear Roger It is your memory that is fading now! Sunday nights were from the London Palladium, with Norman 'Roses Grow on You' whatsisname and the Tiller Girls. Friday nights were indeed 'Take Your Pick', of that I am sure, because on 22 November 1963 it coincided with Kennedy's assasination. I remember sitting by the fire hearing the news. Yes evenings by the TV were gentle, thought I, in my cradle. Regarding the trunk, I think Egbert will find a spare key, a set of paid gas bills and a tennis racket.

songbird Posted 1 November , 2005 Share Posted 1 November , 2005 Maybe it's a prophecy. Egbert's dog will be so hungry he will dash forward (it's a daschund) and eat the contents of the box before Egbert has had a proper chance to examine the contents, thus rendering the contents unreadable,... except for the words,... 'prophecy, and dog'. Julia P.S. We're getting bored Egbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 1 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2005 Sorry pals for the delay: I just came back from work and wanted to approach the trunk. But i am not weary of life - the messenger dog drove me crazy; not even the mentioning of Gwyn's cat distracted him - boy he protects it! I don't want to tease you nor do I want to take your precious time -but you don't want to be in harms way -a Brit origin Airedale in German service is dangerous stuff; I think i can manage at feeding time later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 1 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2005 It's open and here is the first artifact: a pair of binoculars; hope this government issued equipment was only "borrowed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardmcilwaine Posted 2 November , 2005 Share Posted 2 November , 2005 You could borrow my Wife for a couple of months, but she only does cleaning and cooking now, and its the cooking thats the problem, its too good, if she's away me and the dogs might lose some weight. Just about to tackle a couple of bowls of London particular(soup) followed by steamed treacle pudding. oh dear! I can feel the calories already. And Egbert, for goodness sake dont keep us in suspense, I dont care if your G-Dad was in the Irish Salvation Army Len <{POST_SNAPBACK}> len,i have the opposite problem,my wifes cooking is terrible,our dustbins got ulcers cos of it,bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muerrisch Posted 2 November , 2005 Share Posted 2 November , 2005 You must stop at all costs. The trunk almost certainly contains: irrefutable evidence that Haig was a magnificent general, the best we have ever had, irrefutable evidence that all the SAD men were totally guilty and worthless and deserved to die irrefutable evidence that the 'Angel of Mons' and 'Russians with snow on their boots' did exist. Don't do it, or you will make half our members happy at the expense of the other half. signed. Grumpy, Captain, 4th Armoured Thunderboxes attd. Mobile Field Brothel.
