I need a brave volunteer. Your mission is to propose to Sappho. It's a lot to ask anyone, I know, but... what am I saying? Propose to Sappho? The queue starts over there. The end is currently just outside Cairo.
Then while Will is off chasing you, I'll take advantage of his absence and propose myself. In perfect safety. Then we just need a very long honeymoon somewhere he will never find us. The rest of our lives should be long enough. Oh Sappho my dear - how are you with an atlas?
Oh John, John!!
You are one of the nicest guys I have ever met, and I can't blame anyone for being smitten with the divine Sappho.
I am not chasing anyone anywhere (and leave Sappho unguarded? I DON'T think so!).
No, we shall simply barricade ourselves in at Shrewsbury Castle and prepare to repel boarders (if you will forgive me mixing my naval and military metaphors).
I wonder how we will pass the time, locked in a castle together? :twisted:
Gentlemen, gentlemen, this is all very sweet - I've never received so many proposals - and it's very flattering.
However, have you stopped to consider that i might actually accept one of these proposals? Spurious they might be, but they're in writing!
Perhaps I'm getting a little tired of the single life, perhaps it is time to settle down? Now which proposal will I accept?

Right Will, me jukes are up, and we Shropshire yeoman don't buckle easy!!
Leave the lad alone! Sappho is as a knackered kangaroo, out of bounds. So, whatever transpires, will transpire. But until then, i am positioning my 16 stone between Sappho and the known world.
Psst, Hey, Will, I wouldn't count on Shrewsbury Castle. Last time someone holed themselves up in there , someone merely opened a gate down on the river and the whole town fell! :shock: Try Kynaston's Cave at Nesscliffe.
All is lost for the want of a comma...

Will, I need a word. Kindly step into my office, would you? Have you had breakfast? Condemned men should always eat heartily you know...
Now I've been looking at dates for when BlueEyes can wear her hat...
Oh, bye then!

Sappho waves hankie as Will bombs it out of the BFZ as if amassed hordes of crazed and scorned women were chasing him to attach crocodile clips to his testicles.

Thanks MrFC, we get by, and you would be amazed how well designed in here actually has become to handle us all. If we ever do find a bigger place we will not know what to do with it
