The
New Year break saw some tonsleyites retire to a country manor in Sussex. Fireworks,
long walks, aga cooking, log fires, cheese fondues and fine ale all made for a
jolly little shindig.

Less predictable was the pass-the-parcel and roll-the-dice contest
for the candy G-string. Or the savage pruning of a
tree and its improbable combustion upon a huge bonfire of several months' accumulation
of damp garden waste (in the rain, of course). But,
all this paled into insignificance upon the sudden, shocking discovery of the
murder of Lord Michael Jagged! And
so the evening's course turned to the task of finding the culprit. Guests passed
blame amongst those gathered and established their own alibis. |  Charlie
Bunson, Mary-Jane Faithless, Kitty Killer, Babs Crayfish, Oliver Steed, Tamara
Fara-Bucktooth, Brian Sewer and Terence Shrimp. Who dunnit?
| Needless to say, the murderer
was flushed out: Joseph "Brian Sewer" Bruce had performed the despicable
crime. Disciplinary action was appropriately taken and Brian was forced to sleep
in the kennel and fed stale crusts for the remainder of the stay. |
