     "Morning chaps.....Basher Bishop 'ere.....oooh me bleedin' 'ead....I'm feelin' a bit poorly on account of 'aving a few too many pints of Scroggins Mild last night on account of us, the Depot Deadeyes, winning to the Richmond District Tiddly Winks Championship 'eld at the Black Cat pub.          The Old Man weren't too impressed, I can tell you, when I was late this morning wiv 'is tea and crumpets. Though I fink 'e wasn't annoyed on account of me being late.No, 'e  was annoyed on account of 'aving lost some money coz I knows 'e backed our opponents and deadliest rivals, them lot from the Old Codger pub in Little Throckelton. 'ow do I knows that, simple, I found his bookies slip in the pocket of 'is battle dress trousers yesterday when I was ironing 'em. E's blew a whole 10 bob on a flutter; the Old Lady will be fuming wiv 'im now. She's got a gala luncheon or sumfink to attend and is lookin' to get a new 'at and there's was 'im tellin her they couldn't adfford to get 'er a new 'at everytime she goes to lunch. A right old domestic ding dong it was.
      Anyway, when we got to the Depot this morning 'e sezs " Bishop, you blaggard, take your vile face out of the office and over to the QMs and give him these memos. I don't want to see you back here till 1600 hours, understand!"
      Blimey, talk about a sore loser. Anyway, I'm orf to Dirty Den's, the Depot Don Jew-wan, wiv these 'ere meemos then it's the NAAFI canteen for yours truly for a cuppa....cor I'm gasping for a cuppa....pip pip!

Please be aware of the arrival of 8 chaps from the Thirty Years War or English Civil War period. They are all described as casualties, although I suspect some may just be drunken malingerers!

I would be obliged if you could check them over and report back to me as their fitness to serve.

They have the following identifications:

It has been brought to my attention that we have some ‘good time girls’ at the Depot! Please keep them under control whilst they are here. I will hold you personally responsible for any ‘goings on’ between these strange ‘Belt Fed ladies’ and the other ranks.

As I understand it they are named as follows:

BFG51 Prudence State & Fanny Daly – Victorian Nannies

Depot Memo

From: Colonel Theo. Williams, Officer Commanding

To: Lt Denham Scott

Just been informed we have some Danish allies needing accommodation at the Depot temporarily. These are a Gripping Beast, mainly plastic, ‘Swordpoint’ Viking army, 104 figures, originally commanded by Sam Catterall. Lots of extras here, such as movement trays, plastic weapons replaced with metal, dice, shieldwall markers etc; and all this in addition to a fantastic paint job on them!

Intention is to promote them to ‘available online for £350’ next weekend, unless a new commanding officer steps forward with around £300 in his hand in the meantime. If you know of such a fine chap then ask him to message the Depot ASAP

Depot Memo

From: Colonel Theo. Williams, Officer Commanding

To: Lt Denham Scott

Below are details of the latest ‘Ladies’ from Belt Fed Gaming. These being:

BFG49 Marie Baker – the ‘Pretty Pants’ Gangster

BFG50 Medusa- Ancient Greek Gorgon

It appears that the latter has some problem with her hair, so I suggest that you advise the chaps in the mess to keep clear of her.

It is in order for you to distribute both of them to all who require them via our online facility with immediate effect
