"Just wear it, Number Two..."

"But these Garland ceremonies are...."

"...to be endured, Bruno. Smile nicely at the pen-pushers and officers, and think naughty thoughts about the nurses, that should get you through"

As soon as it was over, we were all straight over to the Flotilla Office. New younger girls on shift.

"What news of U-217?"

LS

LS, does the website get updated, I've missed out on quite a few (since march and don't know how far back on the forum I'd have to go.) keep the work coming, really enjoyable to read.

Feel free to strangle me if I get behind! :up:

ok cheers then

AP

Still my no1 story LS :rock: :up:

Well done U-46, from Oblt z. See Alfons Elric and the crew of U35, 'Die Schwarze Wyrm' :D

Mr. deBunsen, could you review your PM box please?

Cheers, from the crew of U-96.

KL

Heartfelt thanks Kapt Lehman. I've said it all in my PM to you, but I will repeat publicly, however much people might enjoy the U-46 story wherever it goes or ends up, I really appreciate every bit of feedback I see, and it encourages me to keep writing. So thank you everyone for your support, and have a Merry Christmas.

LS

You are quite welcome mate.:up: :up: :up:

Merry Christmas and a happy new year for the laughing Swordfish and the crew of the U-46. Hope to see more of the story in the new year.

We bundled in through the door at the Vie de Napoleon.

Heidi and Josie don't work here, they are at BDU not Flotilla HQ, but these Golden Pheasants still surround themselves with some very pretty girls. And in any case they're both boozing it up with the rest of the crew. I so wanted to get this over with and join her, but we have to find out about Max.

A gorgeous brunette leans over the desk and makes eyes at Bruno.

"You must be from U-46. I can tell from the Laughing Swordfish badge on your cap, we were hoping to see you back in."

I've never seen Bruno blush before, or lost for words.

"If it's not too forward, can I have your badge to keep, please Sir? I'll look after it"

And Bruno hands it over as meek as a lamb.

We were all spellbound, and it took Oscar to break it.

"Come on Bruno. Corporal we're to see the FlotillenChef. Sir, give this Orderly your logs and reports, and then we can...."

The doors to the Office are flung open.

"Ah Gentlemen! I've been expecting you. Come in"

Bruno is still hopping up and down.

"Do you think she fancies me, Kap?"

"Well we've been three weeks at sea without a wash or shave, so if she can give you a smile without holding her nose, I'd say you have a chance."

Now come on concentrate, we want to find out about Max..."

LS

All the best for the coming festive season LS http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...es/welcome.gif ;)

Strong work LS!
 

Can I just step out of the story for a moment to thank everyone very much for all their support and kind words over the years.

I've had so much help and kindness from people who make this whole community tick so well and down to people who stumbled across the thread and took the trouble to read it.

A Merry Christmas to you all.

Before this turns into an Oscar speech, I'd better go.

I did write a long piece about the fate of Max's U-217 yesterday, but somehow it got lost when I tried to post it. I'll re-write it and try again.

Best wishes, Raoul de Bunsen (LS)

NO! Get back to work!
:rotfl:

You had to know someone was going to do that. I would actually be happy to read your comments on other threads; your take on aspects of the game etc. You're writing is entertaining and engaging, and I like others wait breathlessly for each new installment, but who are you in real life, and in relation to the game?
