Can anyone tell me who I am, how I got here, and why I can't feel my left hand?

Was that a normal Bomb Disposal Team?

Eighty-four pints that cost me! Would almost have been cheaper to pay the fine!

Anyway; Cheers, lads!

Don't worry it's not as bad as that. It's a typical Royal Logistical Corps team. A driver, an officer to look important, a couple of squaddies to fetch and carry and a single sergeant to actually do all the work. (Or so a retired EOD sergeant told me)

Ah, right! So 80 pints would have been for the sergeant! That makes sense!

Gentlemen,

In cleaning up the gargantuan mess you all left behind in the ceremony halls we discovered a lost pet that was hiding under the carpet.
We established that it was a pink "exiguum monstrum tapete", or Miniature Carpet Monster.

So please, would everyone check to see if parts still disappear from your floor.
If not, chances are high that this is your carpet monster.

We would be grateful if the owner could collect their monster as soon as possible.
At the moment we are feeding the animal parts from the spares box but we cannot keep doing that forever.

Regards,

The Academy

I'm installing an anti-Carpet Monster force field around my house just in case it's MY CM that escaped from my model box at the show!

No way I want it back!

Can't be mine, they tend to be bigger and better fed!

My model room floor is vinyl, so it ain't mine &, if it was, like Kit, you can keep it; my Vinyl Monster has swallowed far too many parts for me to want it back.

London Zoo might want it for their breeding programme and then David Attenborough will probably make a 6 part BBC 1 series on it
