Never Ending Story

because the props department were short of cash and the Star Wars arm was just lying there. Gene was not happy. "Why, with the power of the Borg hive, do we not have an arm that effing matches!"

But at least he was still in the film - which was about to take a dramatic turn. A jagged purple 'mouth' had appeared in the Western sky, spewing what looked like red hot embers onto the forest below
 
where lurked Fafner disguised as a dragon, guarding the nibelung gold, only a warrior who does not recognize fear, could possibly hope to slay the dragon...

the pub. The country life was appealing. The sweet smell of fresh horse dung mingled with rotting humus. The clink of beer glasses after a pleasant day's work out in the sunshine. The buxom barmaid at the Dog and Duck
 
a l'orange but where the oranges are coming from who knows unless the barmaid is Nell Gwyn in which she rarely would be worth knowing.....
 
but for the man from Del Monte - well known for being unable to say no - this was one of those rare times. He would know Nell as soon as he saw her
