Quiet room...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Over there, the rather bedraggled looking lion. You cant miss him, he's the only lion in a life vest with 3 legs and a bloody stump. Might need a paracetamol, or do you just switch them off and then on again?

*saunters into the QR to find it has become surreal adjunct to Michael's vivid imagination*

*pulls up a stool and puts feet up*

*clicks fingers to summon DM, Anna or Georgia*

*oh, OK, it's the 21st Century in here too*

*leaps up and head to the bar*

*drink anyone? I'll bring them iover on a silver platter*

*blinks heavily*

*realises that breaking 2008 booze fast has made one see double*

*aah well, now the seal is broken...*

*shakes up a mean martini, tanqueray 10 with a breath of good vermouth*

*adds olive and relaxes next to Citizen*

*offers a christian to Barry*

*shows bleeding, three legged, damp lion to extremely uncomfortable grey metal chair next to sleeping tramp*

*explains, smiling charmingly, that there is an 8 hour wait to see a doctor*

*disappears*

[SteveT]

Silence is broken by a shout from the door 'minicab for Androcles'

[citizenED]

*Cheers Mockney, I either drink because it makes me look more interesting*

*Or I do it because it makes you more so*

*Either way, now you've started back again, we;re both in the same boat*

*Glances over to see mythical creatures filing out the door for awaiting minicab*

*....damn, someone's gonna have to clear all that mythical dung up!*

[Michael Palaeologus]

*OK - its been 10 hours since Barry the Cowardly Lion was sat in the metal chair by the Disappearing Doctor.He is looking rather pale. This carrier bag contains his 4th leg, its either being sewn back on or its the Sunday Roast - what is it to be?*

*Where was that mini-cab when I was trying to get back from Brighton this evening on engineering works blighted trains?*

*Clearly the mini-cab drivers were out on a picnic with the disappearing Doctors - I'm going to bed*

*Somebody give the lion a plaster, please*

*I don't think we should allow any more Lions in the Quiet Room - whether fictitious or real*

*OK then, that's decided - we should have a Lion Bar*

[annaj]

*reappears*

*leads lion into small, curtained cubicle*

*asks lion to put on NHS gown (ties go at the back) and pop on to the couch*

*asks a series of personal and seemingly unrelated questions*

*makes notes and says "hhmmmmm"*

*puts on latex gloves and pokes and prods lion all over*

*turns attention to stump*

*"does this hurt?" poke "righty-ho, sorry"*

*back in a tick...*

[Michael Palaeologus]

*Dabs tear from eye*

*It is a grand thing indeed to watch a professional at work*

*Should I bring Barry some pyjamas and toothbrush?*

*I would bring grapes, but he is a delicate vegetarian and they would give him the squits*

*Where's his 4th leg gone?*

[citizenED]

*puts hands over face and wonders what will happen next*

*peers out through gap in fingers in anxious anticipation*

[annaj]

Sorry about the long wait, pesky patients in the "real world" keeping me busy.

Seems to me this lion and this joke are both getting a bit old, I'm sending them both off to a nursing home..

[dulwichmum]

*Flings old lion bone out from behind screen*

"Yum!"

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Hello, is that David Attenborough?"

"I have some interesting behaviour from a primitive primate to report ..... whats that? .... copulation? No, she doesnt do that sort of thing, at least not on Telly. Just some lion and donkey eating"

"There were some photos in Razzle a few years ago ... You'll send a film crew down, excellent"

"Hugs to Dickie, bye-bye"

[SeanMacGabhann]

*wanders in to check something..*

[hayesgrover]

Your shoot is perfection, hold that pose, if I may refer to it as as such. There.

Stunning??? Stunning you claim to be in your furry bikini? Ah, new you say?

Well alright then, I'll name my newly purchsed island after it.

New Furry Bikini Atoll.

Come round for lunch some time.

***Sorry if this doesn't make sense in the general scheme of things, but was I amused by the posts without knowing exactly what the whole thread was about. I can't really go back all these pages to find out, so I'd appreiate a quick update.

Thanks

Basically, I am a publicity hungry beauty...

[annaj]

DM are you concealing an escape tunnel?

[dulwichmum]

Annaj, crude inuendo is beneath you... surely?

[annaj]

*blushes furiously*

Lovely DM you misunderstand me. It was a Shawshank Redemption reference.

Not that funny admittedly, but certainly no crudeness intended.
