Starting at 7.45pm (BST) Episode 3 I haven't found anywhere that gives the plot for this episode. But since poor Robin has been unjustly outlawed and disinherited, my guess is that he'll go and live in the forest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNJ_k...NJ_kUf0ud0 "You're not sulking, I hope?"

No time to do a ballad of Sir BdB so here’s one I dun as a ficlet a few years ago: THE BALLAD OF SIR BLAKE AND THE QUEEN KNIGHT Behold Sir Blake, the boldest knight Made by our Lord Creator! Courageously he fought the fight On his white steed Liberator! An envoy begging entrance to Sir Blake’s well-fashioned hall Brought news both unexpected and most likely to appal “My liege, Sir Blake, make no mistake – pray tune-in your antenna To hear my news – Sir Valan’s nicked the fairest maiden Jenna Prepare a rescue mission to their rugged mountain lair Now hurry – don your undies, oh and comb your curly hair!” “Sir Valan? Who’s this villain then? Some heartless, ice-cold fish?” Fumed Blake, “I’ll swat him like a fly, then give him a good squish!" Sir Blake he rose, put on his clothes and ate a breakfast hearty Then toured the land to raise a band – a fearsome raiding party Sir Vila: he of fingers light; Sir Avon: much more drastic Sir Gan: fair blessed with lethal might; Sir Orac: made of plastic To Valan’s bleak abode they rode, through lands both scorched and shady But on arrival they did learn ‘Sir’ was in fact a lady... “Hi, boys, you’ve come to make some noise? Astonished by my gender? The Queen of Knights tells men in tights to offer their surrender!” Alas, alack, Blake’s faithless pack, now done with this malarkey Did whinge and rail that Blake had failed (Sir Avon turned quite sarky) “Ha ha!” Sir Valan mocked them. “To your wish I’ll not accede!” Then in surprise turned envious eyes toward Blake’s milk-white steed “On second thoughts, a little trade could seal the deal we’re seeking Captive for horse, the perfect course – Jenna-rally speaking…” The deal was done, the maiden won, Blake put an end to talk Then headed home through gloom and gloam (although he had to walk…) Behold Sir Blake, the boldest knight Made by our Lord Creator! Courageously he fought the fight On his white steed Liberator! (But now he needs a new one) |

Stuff Robin - I want to hear more about Sir Valan. I mean - why? When? Wherefore?

Did you know Minbari is actually an anagram of minibar? Obvious when you think about it. |

Organza springs to mind. What can you do with that in a forest ? I was almost late tonight: J discovered he had a (minute) tick on the back of his leg, so I mounted a rescue mission (again) and removed it. We're used to them here - I found one wandering about on my arm yesterday. Anyway, is it time yet? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

To remove those stubborn mud stains, make sure your river’s running at forty degrees (gradient, not temperature) |

Forcing all the peasants to spend their Saturdays practicing at the butts has come home to roost! They're better shots than the Feds! Sorry, than the Sheriff's men!

Did you know Minbari is actually an anagram of minibar? Obvious when you think about it. But minibars are usually manufactured and stocked, not born. |

The actor playing Robin was born in Nottingham. Just thought I'd mention it.

Liking the new avatar-y thing, CB. Many thanks. You've a discerning eye. But just the one I’d be knackered too if I had to get up for Matins. Might just about make Vespers. |
