I was not on Duty today as when I was walking along Gods Street a large flying saucer shape thing descended from the sky and sucked me up, At first I thought it was the wizards and was going to complain when a small ape like thing that looks uncannily looked like Corporal Nobbs, said to me "are you the nobby one?" I shook my head bewilderedly as they deposited me down to the earth again, I could here them as they flew away saying "We must find the Nobby One he is the destiny of our planet..." strange huh?

I had to restrain from pursuing militia-like traffic duty activity due to the lossage of my enforcement tools. I was then informed by a dwarf that I would find them again once I had taken my gloves off, but you can't trust 'em shifty buggers now, can ya?

Drill Sgt Trent
You see, it's like this sir, I was on my way to deliver the contraban to the watchhouse, when the Patrician shows up at my side with a note for the Commander that he says I'm to take to him direct. I head off directly, only to find he isn't in his office. About that time, the pile of reports to be filed falls over on me. In the process, I loose the note from the Patrician in the pile. So, you see, I wasn't rummaging through your desk, I figured the note might have fallen into one of the drawers, and I was diverted from delivering this Slab to confiscations sir, honestly!

Grandmother's funeral sir. Sir? No, I haven't been speaking to Nobby recently, sir. Ah, no sir, the other grandmother. She had? Nono,I meant the one with the teeth, sir. Her too? No wait, it was old Mrs B'had'Huz sir. Sir? Dwarfs have diffuse families sir; It's a dwarf thing.

Well it's like this old sport! With the decreacing tempratures, my IQ seems to be rising-wotwot. What with the silicate brain and all, It seems bally inconvient in winter. So what it is old sport, it's that I sat down with a rather intruiging mathematical equation y'see, and after the sudden rise in the jolly ol' temps again, my brain couldn't cope y'see. Hope that wraps it up old chap!

I was just wandering along in the shades (I am a troll) when suddenly a man jumped out at waving a swamp dragon obviously I had to subdue him and this took a matter of seconds. Then I had to straighten him out again which took even longer! 'Onest Guv!

Whilst preceeding along the street of Small Gods I caught a whiff of some lovely concrete and went to find out where it was coming from. I found it was being sold by a man named C.M.O.T. Dibbler. Stupidly I bought some and ate it. I was ill with food poisoning for several days!

I have decided to be brutally honest; I didn't turn up for work because I feel unappreciated and unfulfilled in a dead-end job with people that I hate.I think that if I was to receive a large amount of money I might feel better.

I locked myself in the bathroom again. I must remember to change that handle into one a little more easy for paws to open.

Laurel Hawthorne
Here's what happened....I was having breakfast and saw one of our cows go by the window very fast, and backwards no less! I ran out there and got knocked down and run over by another one. I have an infestation of Nac mac Feegles!! I told them to give me back those cows, and they had the nerve to tell me to "stickit yer trakkans" and then they said "gie you such a kickin'!" So then I was angry and tried to step on one, but they flipped me onto my hind-quarters! I gave them my last bottle of "Nanny Oggs' Famous Recipie Washtub Gin" to get those cows back. We had a good laugh over that gin, though......Those crazy little guys, always "snaflin' coobeasties"!!

There was this funny white and black sticky stuff all over my pillow and I also discoverd some down my back (and trousers, although that had a different consistency!?!). On top of that there was the smell..........

Laurel Hawthorne
Was on my way into work (was gonna even be early, honest!!) when I carelessly disgarded a lit match while in the vicinity of Foul 'Ole Ron. The result was what can only be described as "an amazing ball 'o flame" which I barely managed to escape with my eyebrows intact. So see? It wasn't anything that could be helped........just be wary of lit matches around any toxic fumes.

It's like this sah, you see, I was on my way to the office when a page from the Patrician flagged me down and said the old man wanted to chat me up for breakfast. Not one to ignore a summons, I changed direction, asking the page to notify you, sah. I guess the page got side tracked. Oh, the Patritian? Yes, he could confirm my story, er, but we talked about some rather top secret topics, sah, and he told me that he would deny that I was there this morning due to the sensitive nature of our talk.

Swan Man
The reason that the other excuses above are so crap is because I was pushed into writing the by the big Com. Vimes. It's true I tell you, truuuuuuuuuueeeeeee. Uh, sorry about that, what I would like to say is: please try to erase the boring and unfunny excuses above. It's either that or I change my name to "Sagi"

Very sorry I'm late to work today sir. My horse got clamped by overzealous traffic officers. It took me 2 hours to explain to the troll officer that I was on watch business. It was like talking to a brick wall. Maybe we need special markings for our transport.

Wee Mad Angus
I was talking to an Ephebian philosopher the other day. He said that existence is entirely perspective. He said that the second I wasn't in contact with something it ceased to exist. So I didn't have a job to come to.
I arrested him this morning after I came to work for disturbing the peace of mind.

Sorry I missed work yesterday, sarge. I came down with a bad case of typhoid and malaria. It was horrible! I nearly died. I had maggots crawling out of my legs. They thought I might never walk again. Just out of curiosity, do you like my new shorts? I got them yesterday when I nipped out for a sausage-inna-bun. Oops...

I was chasing a large whale escaped from the zoo, when I discovered it had chucked itself in a desperate attempt to seek freedom. It melted into a huge greasy puddle of goop, and I was forced to clean it all up. So much for a Watchman's duty.

Well, Sir, you know with me being of the werewolf persuasion an' all, well, I was called back to the old place this morning to sort out matters that had got out of hand. You see, my younger brother was a member of this group run by a Wolfgang Von Uberwald and you see, there was this accident and he got kicked out of a tree by someone who shall remain nameless and so I had to go pick him up. Sorry but it wasn't actually all my fault sir...

I apologise for not being at work but on the way here I bumped into Lewton, or more precisely he grabbed me by the arm and yanked me down a side street. He's investigating some dissappearance or something and I thinks I have something to do with it just because I was seen three miles away from the scene with the victims third cousin once removed. And well sir, you know how difficult Lewton can be and I couldn't get away all day sir. No sir it has nothing to do with the fact I was seen in the Cafe Ankh with an unknown man of the elvish persuasion (who's name is Imp by the way, he's in a band).

Detrius has told me policing without a badge is definately VERRRRY SOLID ground for a good goolag head kicking in session... so I wait. I have witnessed no less than 3 major infractions in as many minutes and there's one mime down here that I can't wait to get my pick ...errrrr... hands on and bring matters into focus with the business end of said instrument... we'll get to the two 'finer points' much later. He just has to appologize for that overwieght dwarf in a flooded shaft bit... tasteless... respectfully, sir, my fear of Detrius' reprisals is holding me back. Look, I'm in the Shades, I need cash to move... get Cheri out of that pub and into my life with that badge, sir, please. I need to get on patrol and get some slee... satisfaction. I remain...

On the way to the watch house a zombie jumped out in front of me waving a metal pole above his head. I warned him that if he did not put down his weapon I would be forced to disarm him.

You see Commander, it was like this. I was just leaving my flat when this blonde with a face that wouldn't quit stopped me in the hall. "Captain Trent." She said with a voice like mulled honey. "Yeah, that's me sugar" I said, shaking on the inside and, well, shaking on the outside as well. "I need to talk to you ...." and so forth. We ended up in my apartment for a few drinks and so forth while she told me about her missing cat. The next thing I knew I was laid out on my bed, she must have slipped me a micky. There were four of them surrounding me, all in their black robes and squid heads. Luckily, I sleep with a long sword under my pillow, so I was able to dispatch the cultists (cult of the Curious Squid if yer interested). The last one I killed was the blond. You will find the bodies in the forensic unit Commander, along with four rotting squids. I've also submitted a bill for new sheets.

While finishing my beat just before the break of dawn, I noticed as I returned back to base a small package at the side of the door. Peering inside I found a rather red faced child wrapped in swaddling clothes & sucking ferociously on its thumb. Attached to its forehead was a note. CANT COPE WONT COPE please take care of little Beelzebuba Now being of the female persuasion I instantly felt all maternal & took the little blighter home. It was alittle cramped in my All Terrain Coffin but I managed to give it a few bloody marys & it slept soundly after that. It woke just before night fall (luckily enough) screaming blue murder so I remembered my ole granny feeding me milk, so I required some (lawfully) from a rather reluctant neighbour. This action in turn was the reason why I was late last night. Have you ever tried getting baby puke from inbetween your chainmail...not a pretty site. Oh and by the way if a report comes from UU that a strange parcel was posted to the Bursuar....you didn't hear it from me!!
