BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK

It started of a quiet evening ,the new music machine was playing a selection
of easy listening ballads and a light air of banter struck with the mellow
overtones of social discourse could be heard from the Lounge Lizards corner,
all seemed well with the world but this was soon to change !

The bar door lay open and it cast eerie shadows forward projecting tentacles
of darkness upwards as they danced menacingly on to the lounge walls beyond.

Out of the corner of one eye could be seen the phantom!!

Spiralling and circling as he moved ever closer to the fellowship that sat drinking and chatting and in their laughter they were oblivious to this fiends slyfull approach.

Forward and then back as he weighed up the company but always looking for a weakness
in his intended victim!

BAMBIE sat on the peripheral of the group and with his back turned
towards this menace and then it happened.

Slurred words emanated from the fiends mouth
"Got a cigarette mate"
how dare he! This creature from hell

BAMBIE responded like a python with his eyes fixed intently on the
menace and these words reverberated like cannon fire around the room

"HOW DARE YOU VIOLATE MY SPACE"!!!

Shocked and reeling this beast from hell retreated, staggering as if wounded
by the sheer force of these words and assisted by GAFFER fled of in
to the night.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to our friend BAMBIE for this heroic
act after all cigarettes don't come cheaply as WALLACE said.

THANKS BAMBIE
