Yes...I think next week we could bring in action mice...and before we do, I will slip the little otter a drugged ant or something....and he will sleep peacefully through it all.

He is becoming impossible.

He keeps hiding behind all the cars and then rolling like a cop on a daft show, towards the back of the next car.

And he has put all this black polish on his face as camouflage.

I am so sorry about this everyone.

*giggles uncontrollably*

So the otter is covered in fur but bald on top? So he looks like a cross between Friar Tuck, Aragorn, Bruce Willis circa 1990 and ... and a small mammal??

The mice can go and sit in the orchestra and harmonise with Laurie Holloway's singers on the high notes. If the otter fails for any reason, then the stunt mice can be deployed. We can't take any chances.

This is SERIOUS.

It's okay, Boho. We all know what they say about otters: they take things to extremes.

Just let him get it out of his system.

I know..*whispers* he looks a right sight. No one look at him..pretend you haven't seen his odd hairstyle.

I agree about having the mice as a back up...but for God's sake..whatever any of you do...don't let Tiny or the little otter see them or all our plans will be thwarted. I don't know how we will manage to complete the tapdance routine if we have an elephant charging towards us along with an angry 'Bruce willis stunt double' little otter, brandishing weapons.....

Thanks ally...I am feeling a bit bad, as it was all my idea...but you are quite right. I know what otters are.

(btw your last line of your post made me fall on the floor with laughter)

Don't tell him that.

Can't
Breathe

Laughing.
Too.
Hard.

*thud*

We killed happyfeet.

Oops.

(Maybe if we lend the mice some sequins they'll blend in better, thus avoiding being noticed? We need to keep them camoflagued or the whole plan will sink into some sort of ridiculous fiasco.)

Happy...no, get up. If he see's you on the floor rolling around, he may want to practice his action hero 'romantic part of film' phase where he selflessly rescues the pretty female lead...and I don't want you to have to go through that. I've already seen him try and practise it on a pigeon that flew into one of the windows and stunned itself.

It wasn't a pretty sight watching the poor thing trying to escape the little otter as he tried to give her an 'action hero is really a sweet thing' smooch. It was just like that old cartoon with the skunk and the cat he loved..Pepe le Peu or whatever his name was.

Get up I say.....

Uh oh.

Well don't say you weren't warned.

*shields eyes*

Yuck. But also ha. That otter has issues.

*steps over happyfeet and the little otter*

Great plan...maybe we could make them pink sequinned costumes so they blend in with Anton and Patsy?

I'm ok - I need to pull myself together. This isn't funny, it's life or death. Lives depend on us.

EDIT - I was having the oddest dream about me and me and this sexy french actor named Vincent Cassel...

oh my god! what the **** is going on?? Get away from me!!!!


We can't have that.
Brendan made some small practice outfits when he was doing prototypes for Tiny. We can use them. Ironic eh.

If that otter needs sedating, I passed my flying dive intramuscular injection with hypodermic needle course a few weeks ago.

I'm primed.

And I'm ready.

I think I've still got a couple of outfits left over from my "Bi-Annual Rodent Gymnastic Contest"...with a little work they might suffice.


Sounds like the otter's not the only one with an action hero complex.

ROFLMAO!

Did the mice win?

Nope...those rats got the better of them in the end. I think they greased the balance beam before the mice went on.

Wily rats.

They should have. I'm not having loser stunt mice wrecking our plan.

Get those rats on the blower.

Hmmm....see we need mice who can see through sabotage like that.

Oh blimey..little otter....this is not hollywood! Put Arlene down and let her go into the building.

*sighs*

I think Happy has watched the otter too long..she has gone into action girl movie speak.

Happy....

Step away from the otter.

That otter is completely oversexed.
I'm still emotionally traumatised. You'd better not tell our wink wink security guards or that otter's days are numbered.

No offence to anyone at the Beeb, but we're talking about some really smart rats.

I'll give them a ring, shall I?

*looks sheepish*

I'm sorry. I got caught up in the adrenalin of the Vincent Cassel dream.

*shakes self in salsa stylee*

Oooh that's better. Normal (I use that term loosely) again. What can I do... oh wow everyone is arriving - I'm going to sit on top of the ambulance as a lookout.

After watching the otter..I think you may be right happy.

Still..he seems up for the plan. Now we just need those rats. Ring 'em up ally.

I have to pop off and fill up my wine glass.....I'll be back later to carry out the plan but please....

Keep an eye on the little otter. He may be a pain but I am quite fond of him sometimes. He's a great hot water bottle when he isn't misbehaving.

Oh and happy..Vincent Cassell...good call. Another not handsome but rugged and sey man like Mr Ramsey (imo)

Bye peeps...watch out for my furry, partly shaved buddy.

Yay Boho know who I mean
The plan is flawless, we'll have to make do without the rats, and hope that our stunt mice don't need to be called upon. Someone throw the otter towards the studio (tell him I saw a sexy lady otter heading that way) - 5 minutes to action stations.

I have a choc pudding to heat

Will report back in about an hour

I'm off too- watch my stunt mice; I want them back in perfect condition.

Im afraid I'll be dipping out of the chorus line tonight, folks. I'll be back at bewitching hour, after I've watched the show.

Adios, amigas! Good luck

Ally x

It's not fair! The progam's about to start & I can't see for laughing!

Hey hey - I spy Glen from atop my ambulance. Take a few deep breaths - the hilarity continues later - I'm just hoping our plan works

Well well, it seems Brucie slipped past us at the beginning - he did see us in our tap-dancing gear all stood outside! The stunt mice are poised in the orchestra... GI Otter is somewhere in the building executing the plan - I'm not worrying about Anton and Patsy or Bill and Karen because all my hopes are hinged on an oversexed bald on top wannabe Bruce Willis mammal. (Did anyone else notice when otter entered the studio and heckled and Bruce told him to put a brick in it - he almost blew his cover)...

I'm relaxed.

But just in case, POSITIONS PLEASE GIRLS AND BOYS! Get that those ten little tapping toes going. Tiny and Brendan - watch that exit door like hawks - and Tiny can you also make sure you're warmed up and tuned up to play our dance tune "Happy Feet"...

Now, I'm expecting Gloria to raise the alarm in about 20 minutes (just after the professionals american swing show dance)...

Fingers-crossed, though we won't need it as our plan is FOOLproof
