Thankfully, the goats in question have never developed a taste for tonic wine. Hence the pillars remain firm, the centre holds and the price of duck eggs remains stable.

Thank goodness this is the real seat of government. The economic upturn must be imminent.

However, The Gypsy Creams, being used to an encore from the audience, rather than a private encore (and what that entails) for Igor the Comptroller and his electronic accordion decided to take industrial action and in consequence have pulled out and The Jammy Dodgers have been substituted at the last moment.
Reuters is monitoring the duck egg situation very closely.

Yes, it was a dark and stormy night in Golders Green Hippodrome when Igor went public -a phalangist evangelical organisation has comandeered the place as a result. This can only lead to more Xylophone solos.

Indeed, and on that dark and stormy night the Elders of Golders Green were worrying why the Phalangists, an arboreal marsupial of the genus Phalangista had come to the Hippodrome.
The vulpine phalangist (P. Vulpina) is the largest species, the full grown male being about two and a half feet long. It has a large bushy tail which it uses to play the xylophone, usually in a solitary environment.
Why had the Phalangists come to North London?

My theory is that is they who are behind the White-Lightning inspired revival of the jurassical Edmontonosaurus Actuens, late of El Paso SW9

The Elders of Golders Green huddled in a huddle.
That last message had confused them, not least because of the hasty edit by an obviously Phalangist sympathiser.
Was this to be East Croydon all over again - let along the reference to White Lightning Cider?

One imminent health issue with White Lightning are the dastardly promises of exotic holidays in exchange for a handful of bottle tops. So many hopefuls are to be found strewn about the cloisters of the Hippodrome. The unlucky ones are scooped up as the audience for Three Weeks Last Tuesday with Alan Titchmarsh.

The collected Elders of Golders Green groaned, collectively. This latest news was devastating.
To think, their collection of bottle tops from White Lightening Cider have been compromised and they may have to endure Alan Titchmarsh at the Hippodrome as well as at The Last Night of the Proms when they were hopig for 10 days in The Seychelles with Carole Vordermann.

A bilby is a marsupial and, according to one Oz website: Baked bean babies thrill Bilby Brothers 07 Sep 2006 They might have looked “like baked beans with legs” but for Peter McRae they were the most beautiful sight — centimetre-long baby bilbies nestled in their mum’s pouch. Peter, a zoologist with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), and one of the famed “Bilby Brothers”, found his first baked-bean babies in August and has since found another set of twins. With fellow QPWS employee Frank Manthey, Peter has been battling for years to preserve this endearing but endangered marsupial in Queensland. This weekend they will join bilby supporters in Charleville for the Bilby Fur Ball and to celebrate National Bilby Day on Sunday 10 September. Here's a baby bilby  |

The poor creature seems to be mired in one of Aunt Bessie's(TM) Ancient Baked Bean Casseroles-there is no time to lose, particularly if its feeling hungry. And indeed Antheil, you would think Vorderman would look more favourably on their hoppi(n)g-as it is I suppose she would merely try to flog them a dodgy loan to take in their nutty slack.
