Enters young spotty-faced lad, of about 24 years of age, or so, holding clip-board.

"Official Inspection", he says, looking down at the board and then across at the desk. "Are you in charge?"..

"I am from the Ministry of LLamadefence; LlamaHealth & Safety branch"...

It does now. [writes note to self to call NekoChan "The Cat With Kaleidoscope Eyes" at appropriate moments]

Oh, yes, where were we....

Ah, are you in charge. The Ministry have been informed you are not insured to fly llamas without going through the correct procedures and at least giving them due reast breaks and sufficient quantities of lucerne and red clover...

Further it has come to the attention of the Vice-Commodore that there are unofficial pilots, ones only trained on the camel and not the more superior llama...

Biggles was boggled. An inspector? Had he ever had this happen before? He was not sure. But then, surety was not his strong forte. He fell back on his usual answer to the boggling:

"Bugger off, if you would, please. Now I have imprtant work to do. It's important, you see. If you know what," he looked around conspiratorially, "I mean!"

There. That should do for the official looking person standing in front of him whom he was quite certain he had been introduced to and could not remember his name. He would call him Ministry Fellow.

Biggles nodded to him self in complete self satisfaction.

Ministry Fellow taps the top of his board, with his pencil.

"mmm, that's the way you want to play it?"... Clips pencil to the top of the board, talkes it in his right hand, and then walks slowly forward towards the desk, whilst stroking his long-handled moustache with his left hand...

"Either you answer the charge, Sir, or I shall be forced to close this outfit down under Rules sections 5.1.23 and 6.98.a sub para 3..." He leered down at the quivering wreck before him.....

"Right! Give it to You There out there in the lobby! He's sitting next to the Luddite by the Super Secret Entrance to the Escape Tunnel that Neko Chan Adamantly Refuses to Use!"

From the outer office, a small voice screamed, "It's ALF!"

Maneki Neko can bless the weather for you, if you like.
maneki neko, i believe your weather blessing skillz would be greatly appreciated over here. i would like to be able to go outside without scuba equipment and without drowning please. do you think you could do something about that ? also, sunday a friend and i were planning to go to a free concert in the park, it would be nice if the weather were a bit closer to seasonal norms for that (in case you can't tell, it's supposed to be summer here).

Clears throat with a loud cough...."ggrrgghh"....falls backwards....a hole - "oh no" he thought, "you can't do that I'm an very important personage, just doing my official duty"...

"un-hand me Sir, Madam...."

Foot slips, hand shoots out to grab the nearest thing he could see....
