Er Dan shouldn't that have been Lord Rat and Sir Phil of Davies

Cant wait till the Monty blows, rest assured i'll be out there with my surf board riding the big one straight down the Thames estuary directly into London....how cool will that be

Of course the top advantage of the destruction of the monty would be it would wipe out Sheppy completely....... No more pikkies

Mudway

The Medway was always refered to as the Mudway !
Learnt to sail off the strand in gillingham, there was a load of abandond boats / barges from the way on the other bank a little down stream to form an island. Is it still there anyone know the full story?
They have been worrying about the Montgommery for years and no-one does much apart from send divers down once a year to check its still there and conclude its to dangerous to touch.
Bit like all the munitions, mines and other various nasties lost or dumped off the coast that occationally appear!

Hey Mr Rat
Thats why the council put the bridge in!!
only joking, I know people who live out there, its also got one of the only scorpion collonies in the UK.
(how come you can always remember the useless bits and forget the stuff you are meant to remember)

Us locals tend to avoid Sheppy as much as we can, when you set foot on the island you become part of the food chain there apparently they intend to build an even bigger bridge to let more of them over to the mainland, i read once that during the war the army had the bridge mined incase the germans landed.

Not sure about Scorpians but there are lots of pikkies, smugglers and illegal imigrants live on the island, those pikkies can reduce any car to base components in minutes

My solution would be to send all the Sheppey pikies down to defuse the munitions. That way we could deal with two problems simultaneously. That only then leaves the problem of the pikies in the Fens, all of whom I would round up, put on a large container vessel out of Holyhead telling them they were to be repatriated to Ireland, then sink the bastards in the middle of the Irish Sea.

rumour has it that they are all interbread out on the Isle.
Bit like the locals of Cork!

If that lot does go bang it will rock a few windows here too.

When the explode stuff in Essex our building shakes!!

Ho hum said Pooh!

yes i'd agree with Jon, interbreeding on the island is riff, i've heard some very strange stories about who's related to who down there, next time i'm out by the monty i might start chucking rocks over the side and see if i can blow it, Phil do you think that would be worth some sort of humanity recognition, just think about all the ford escorts we could save
Another local rumor has it that the two girls (yes those two Phil that you chatted up) that operate the death burger van at Kingferry bridge reside on the island and can trace there Romany past back centuries.

Reading this reminds me of a website someone sent me once :

http://www.sheppeyscum.com/

Not very complimentary to the sheppey residents, but going by your comments possibly correct!

Actually after revisiting the site its not for the faint hearted (or anyone from sheppey!)

Don't give up Jon...they'll probably take to you in time
You keep showing up every second year for Cork Week and they won't be so scared of you in a decade or so

(Hey they're more 'inter' Murphy's than bread BTW.)

Daniel keep away from that ship ... we like the water levels the way they are in the Solent

Shouldn't this thread go to 'other stuff' ? Mebbe?

So, Obergruppenfuehrer Bilge Rat, we appear to have the basis for an agreement on a 'Final Solution' to the Sheppey gypsy problem. Perhaps we should book a conference room on the shores of a Berlin lake?

anywhere except Madam Helgars house of pain again, my arse hasn't yet recovered from the last visit.

Phil Davies European Tormentation Tours

Think the monty might be the final solution, once we've blown the place and its taken a few years to dry out we could buy it cheap and turn it into a massive digger land

The problem is how do we blow the monty up ?

Ah ha have a cunning plan my lord...... we launch Dan TD5 in at hernia Bay just before low water with his boat loaded with fuel and food this means it will sit much lower in the water and if we blindfold him and let him run across the top of the monty he'll hit it and hopefully it will blow, if not it could be ammusing watching anyway
