That's the fourth time I have laughed out loud today at various efforts on this forum.

You are all a bad influence and should not let honest hard working folk have to stop work every couple of hours to catch up on the latest drivel you keep posting .

Keep going...

Either his father's cavalry officer's uniform or a nurse's or something from his S&M dressing up trunk.

Underweight running shoes? Some sort of treatment on the soles giving extra grip? Missed a chicane or two

Actually, thinking again, did Stewart do a secret deal with Comte to nobble you with the lunch?

Motive unclear but we may come up with one ....

Well I got "persuaded" by my other half to go Christmas shopping today and went to one of these enormous places that sell everything.
After about 10 Min's of pushing the trolley about I said "I'm just going to the toilet".
She found me later in the furniture dept and took this, I really was fast asleep !!!
