Renovating Brisbane

"Holy Pharkn Ronald McDonald" screamed Lamb as we drove into town down Milton Road. We were all in the Pantser driving to town to see Bella. The Brisbane City Council had given up on trying to contain our use of the vehicle and they acknowledged that we were a law unto ourself by now. We needed to take the Pantser out for training runs every now and then and I had the "L" plates on and was steering through midday traffic. It was so much fun and everyone stopped and cheered as we drove past.

The local McDonalds chain had a sign up promoting a burger that they had named after us. Honoruru had negotiated the royalty structure and Princess Leah and Dukie designed the burger. As we passed their was a line up of sisters out the front waiting for their Tree House Burger. They all lifted their shirts as we drove past and Lamb let a few rounds fly from the AK.

We kept going into town and parked on the footpath. I took out a few beams that held up the awning and the front of Bella's Cafe fell over. "You pharkn lunatic Lukie" screamed Long Hop. Long Hop was accompanying us on more of our missions these days as were determined to take over the world of cricket and she provided advice at every opportunity. "Lukie, your Panster driving is as bad as your six stitcher driving" she laughed as she fell out the top of the Panster into the rubble.

I apologised to Bella and told her Dukie and Princess Leah would be back to fix it later. Bella pulled out the hammers and nails and some wood she had in the back of the shop and put them to work immediately. "Lukie you are pharkn hopeless and I've stored a whole heap of wood and fix-it stuff here as this is the third time you've crashed into this in the last few weeks" she said.

I couldn't argue and after a few hours and a few coffees we had it fixed. We took off from Bella's place and were heading back to the Tree House. "Let's go into the Parallel Universe" screamed Lamb. I couldn't help but think a few ales were needed. It was still hot and humid in the jungle and cold beer was always a good idea.

We stopped in and Mick Dundee was still there."That is not a knife Dukie" he screamed in laughter as he fell of his bar stool. Obviously he had been there all night. 'Where is my bus Mick Dundee?" laughed Dukie as she gave him a big kiss.

Harry was working behind the bar and he looked at us and smiled. "You girls won't be getting that back in a hurry" he said as he laughed. We all walked out to the "Inferno Bar" and there was Priscilla lodged between open doors. Apparently some of the Freckles dared Mick to drive in and he took them up on the dare. The bus was lodged and it wouldn't come out.

"No pharkn worries" said Dukie and Princess in unison as they raced out to the Pantser and reversed to the Priscilla. Honoruru tied a rope between the two vehicles and tied some of her famous "Casting Couch knots" on the rope then she jumped into the drivers seat of the Priscilla to help guide it out.



Lamb had her megaphone with her and she screamed out "give it a pharkn big one Dukie" and they gradually eased the bus out. The awning of the Parallel Universe fell over and I laughed myself stupid. We grabbed some hammers and nails and wood and did some more construction work.

Mick Dundee bought us all a round of tequila slammers with 4064 Squadron beer chasers and we finished off the renovations.

We drove home in the Pantser with Honoruru following in Priscilla. We went back past McDonalds and the line for the Teee House burger was longer and again everyone lifted their shirts for us. We dropped Mick Dundee off at Lazarus' village and he fell out the bus door. As we left I could hear "That's not a tank Dukie" as he laughed wildly in the dust to himself.

We arrived at the Tree House and I cooked a big dish of chicken, bacon, mushroom and cream fettucini and we sat down to a few dozen bottles of Nepenthe Sauvignon Blanc. We fell into our hammocks and slept like tradesman after a big day renovating Brisbane.

Anyone for driving lessons?

Goodnight girls. Love you all long time soldier girls.
