Curses! Missed the boat.

Well, here's what I would have submitted:

The Roman Dwarves

“You sure you don’t want to have a look around? It’s our last stop before the big one.” Jimi’s voice was coaxing, willing the youth in the copilot’s chair to take an interest.

Amile stared doubtfully from the cockpit at the system's binary dwarf stars. "What does the guide have to say?"

Jimi thumbed the controls and brought up the starmap. "The first records of DO Cephei were made in the first century AD in Roman Alexandria, by the astronomer Claudius Ptolemy..."

Amile sighed dramatically and waved a dismissive hand. "Dull. Let's skip it and go straight on to Sol."

Sorry psykokow, I'd like to help ...really I would .. but I'm afraid myself and friends had far too much fun laughing our <Fluffy furry teddy bottoms> off watching you struggling with it last friday to offer any assistance on this issue. In fact, just for comedy purposes, I now feel obliged to ensure I submit a drabble every week just on the off chance it might make your life marginally more difficult...I'm sure you understand.

I have just seen this: http://laveradio.com/elite-legacy-competition/
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to Drabble!

Welcome Commanders.

Fancy winning a hard back copy of the fantastic new official Elite: Dangerous novel Elite: Legacy signed by the author?

For your chance to win you need to write a Drabble (a 100 word story – not including the title) featuring in some way Lave Station.

There are no rules for content or cannon, be as creative as you like.

Michael Brookes has kindly accepted the role of judge (subject to there not being millions of entries, the man has a game to develop!)

Maximum of 3 entries per contestant .

Drabbles will be read out by our own Grant “Psykokow! on the “Abrakadrabble Show” after the competition closes.

Competition will close on Sunday the 15th of February with the winner being announced shortly after.

Oh, our own is it? He's moonlighting is he?

What kind of behaviour is that for a mad Scotsman?

Is this their way of saying that he's now OUR responsibility?

Hells Bells, I already have a dog that makes enough of a mess and sheds all over the place. :)

There's an easy way to see who owns Psykokow. We go on one side of the room and the Lave Radio bunch go on the other. Psykokow is then dropped off in the middle of the room and he decides himself which group by going to them first. The winners are the ones who can scare him away the best.

Hysterical Mental image there. :D

I fondly remember my kids walking down the street when they were little having a conversation.


  • Son: When Dad gets old he's going to live with me.

  • Daughter: No he's going to live with me.

Rinse and repeat.

Skip forward about 3 years


  • Son: When Dad gets old he's going to live with you.

  • Daughter: No he's going to live with you.

Rinse and repeat.

And the most recent.


  • Son: What old folks home will we put Dad in then?

  • Daughter: Hmmm how much do they cost?

I dread to think what the next conversation will be...

Make sure you spend every penny of your money. From the sounds of things, leaving an inheritance might be dangerous for you :eek:

You're not thinking ahead. What we do is we let him win the book, find out where he lives, and then steal the book from him.

LOL. Now that's lateral thinking. I'm looking forward to getting some time to have a drabble myself.

Of course I could just drive the getaway car, it might be easier :)
