I wouldn't worry about any possible litigation over the concept of "Time Bounce". It's as much part of science fiction as laser pistols and space travel.

If I were you I'd be more concerned about my bank balance. The first thing I did as king was to rip up the Magna Carta. I am now the supreme ruler of the United Kingdom and I've raised the tax rate to 110%. Don't be too alarmed at this. It is only a temporary measure. Once I've sucked away everyone's saving I'll set the rate to a more manageable 100%.

I'm so glad I made that trip back to day 1 of the Royal Bank and invested 51% of the start-up fund. Now where did I put my pin number?

Looks like someone didn't read the fine print when he took the crown...

*Royal is entirely subjective and based solely in the Drabble Universe, and is in no way meant to insult the Queen.

I had a good search of the paper crown. There's no fine print. The only thing I can see on it is Galactic Midden's PIN Number.

Ubiquity

Mark entered the showroom and spoke to the sharp-dressed salesman. "I'm sick of pirates catching me. Got anything with a bit of oomph?"

The salesman smiled razorsharp teeth. "The Cobra-Mk3 is faster than any pirate in this sector! Plenty of Cargo space as well."

Mark left smiling with a bill of sale in his hand.

A pirate entered the showroom, "Traders keep getting away from me! I need something to give me an edge."

The salesman smarmed his most convincing smile and gestured towards a model of a Cobra-Mk3. "These craft seem popular with those in your line of work."

Oi Frank, are you sure you want to post that here and not in the main Abraka Drabble thread?

 

[Frank]

Hey! I've got a crown here. If I want to make a mistake and post in the wrong thread then that's my prerogative. I was going to get one of my minions to clear away the mess of my mistake but now I'm just going to leave it where it is. <grin>

I also posted in the right place just in case I make a mistake when setting the poll on Thursday.

Doh! Why do I always make that mistake when using a toilet roll!?

Edit: at least I didn't / haven't made that mistake yet Frank
Has everyone heard? Erik is an ambassador!! He's starting at the bottom and working his way up so I think he's been appointed to work in the federated states of Micronesia.

Starting as a janitor. How do you think I came across so many.. um, sticky toilet paper rolls?

Sitting proud are you? Do you not wonder what that odd smell is?
