Electronic braying noises. A Tardis appears. Out step Drs Crippen and Grumble. They stand side by side, surveying the scene. Dr Crippen has aged, and now looks like the first Doctor Who.
Dr Crippen: Grumble! Sorry to drag you away from the fun, old boy.
Dr Grumble: That’s alright sir.
Dr Crippen: War’s not going very well, you know.
Dr Grumble: Oh my God!
Dr Crippen: We are two down. Marshals Field and Meldrum have joined the enemy.
Dr Grumble: Yes.
Dr Crippen: War is a psychological thing, Grumble, rather like a game of football.
Dr Grumble: Yes sir.
Dr Crippen: We have to play up, be counted. We have to take responsibility. It’s a duty thing, Grumble.
Dr Grumble: Mmmm.
Dr Crippen: Grumble, we are asking you to take responsibility.
Dr Grumble: Sir.
Turn to face each other
Dr Crippen: I want you to lay down your anonymity, Grumble.
Dr Grumble: Yes sir.
Dr Crippen: We need a heroic gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war. It will show the Secretary of State how to take it on the chin.
Dr Grumble: Sir.
Dr Crippen: Get back to your blog, Grumble…
Dr Grumble: Sir.
Dr Crippen: pop up a post…
Dr Grumble: Yes sir.
Dr Crippen: and expose yourself.
Dr Grumble: Yes.
Dr Crippen: And stay exposed.
Dr Grumble: Right you are sir.
Backgound music – As Time Goes By
Dr Crippen: Goodbye Grumble. God, I wish I could expose myself too.
Let’s try that again

Ah right, you were joking. That’s okay then..
“Sadly at times it does feel like war. So a bit of light relief from time to time doesn’t do any harm. ”
Too true! I like it when you go into your ‘dream mode’cos no one can compete with you here, sooo unfair, eh?!
“If we want to look into who started it, we might want to use The Germans from Fawlty Towers…”
😀
… but well done the ‘Rebels Team’, and ‘them’ too … b-e-a-utiful piece of work this was … and still is 😉
And Grumble … he’s a true rebel you know! Really!
