Edwina makes vino history...

 



The cultural exchange between Sodden Prickney and the Chilean village of Nargsville, had a shaky start, as Edwina Baggage, in her position as an advocate of Bicyclism, began to expound the base elements of the craft with Dr Norbert Iodine almost as soon as the plane left the runway, and the air hostess had to provide a blanket!

The various receptions given by Senor Shamus O'Blene, (no relation), in Nargsville prompted several impromptu outbursts of the niceties because Ms Cynthia Molestrangler decided to try and espouse the craft under the influence of several bottles of the rough, local wine (above), and nothing was going to stop her!

Councillor Basil Kalashnikov managed to down four bottles of the stuff before collapsing mid 'Sod everybo...' and had to be carried to his boarding house on a door, appropriated from the men's convenience in the village hall.

It was agreed that although the twinning visit was a great idea for cultural acclaim, the bicycling escapades were much more rewarding, and in future, when the Mayor of Nargsville was due to arrive, a special reception was to be provided by first, Miss Amelia Newt, followed by Ms Cynthia Molestrangler, and finally, Edwina Baggage, and a photographer from The Bugle.

Norman Wibble was not consulted.

I like the idea of a special bicycling wine, but unfortunately I don't think the idea is original. Certainly some of the keen cyclists weaving their way along the roads of Derbyshire must have something similar to Chilean Bicycling Wine in those plastic bottles they carry.

Ah, that's clear enough.

It's bad enough having the reputation of being 'the village bike', AK, but when there's a competition between two such formidable exponents of the craft, it's 'Lock up your husbands' time!

James, see my reply to AKH a few inches above...!

BTW, Dr Norbert Iodine got through the experience well before Mach 2! Good man that!
