Captain’s Blog – Stardate 15:00 hours – teatime!!
I’m really pleased 7 of 9 was around for afternoon crumpets yesterday…….. for a couple of reasons.
The Borgs chose this moment to attack …….. again. They were up to their usual shenanigans and tried to absorb the power of the gingernut.
7 of 9 ran around a lot to distract them. They weren’t the only ones that lost the plot – Mr Spock choked on a scone and sprayed strawberry jam all over the heads of the Klingon biscuit deputation who spent the next few hours licking themselves clean.
Eventually she presented the Borg with a chocolate bourbon which they greedily assimilated. The Borg, or as they are now known, the Bourg were so comforted by this delight they went back to their ship and started decorating their accommodation with flounces, swags and flocked wallpaper. I sent over some colour charts as a sign of good will. Phew!
Time for a cup of cocoa now and a little lie down.
Note to self – check out the possibility of fusing strawberry jam with a Mars bar – could be a winner.

‘They weren’t the only ones that lost the plot’…. never a truer word lol
Oh dear, couldn’t you follow that …… it is early I suppose ……..
No …. what were you saying???
Obviously that you’ve lost the plot …… I doooo hope the Christmas break will revive you ….. poor thing ……..
I love Star Trek, Jean-Luc Picard – lovely. ‘Make it so, Number One’. Ooh, yes please. ‘Resistance is futile’…
Perhaps I should shave my head to add to my allure …… and get some chocolate coated gingernuts …… can you get chocolate coated gingernuts I wonder?
M&S make – wait for it – organic chocolate coated pear and ginger biscuits which are SO yummy. I’m also rather partial to stem ginger shortbread biscuits from Waitrose…and of course, gingernuts.
All this talk of biscuits has got my mouth watering and I am off to make a cup of tea…and hunt for a biccie – or two.
PS “…to add to my allure”. Bless.
The nearest Waitrose is miles away from where we live ……. thanks for the reminder! We used to live near a Waitrose – used to bump into Joanna Lumley, Tom Baker and Vic Reeves there …… those were the days ……
I make a homemade chocolate gingersnap (gingernut) that’s pretty good (if I do say so myself…). It seems like it wouldn’t work, but it does, like how those chocolate covered soft (real – not the fake kiddie licorice) licorice sticks are yumminess squared.
If you buy a licorice stick over here it’s actually a piece of wood you chew …… or it was when I was knee high to a grasshopper …….
I think the brand I bought was actually an Aussie product.
Soft black and raspberry licorice coated in dark chocolate. It was delish.
Have you got a bit of a sweet tooth young Fraccy?
Not for candy… actually don’t care much for candy, licorice or dark chocolate is an exception. Desserts are the sweet tooth thing for me.
You?
I used to …… mainly just dark and depraved chocolate now …….
man!! i loved your blog..awesome simply hilarious..
going through the rest of the posts!
Well young Sorcerer good luck! …… I’ll make refreshments available for you ……….
too much time on my hands,
dit dit dit – dit dit dit – dit dit dit, dit
too much time on my hands…
You should make yourself useful then Nooter – chase a stick or something …….
Hmmm. I am six of eight in real life, but they never gave me a uniform like that. I’ll have to complain.
I just wanted to ask if you were planning on selling the Enterprise on eBay or anything? It should fetch a handsome price… what with being probably the only version out there where the gingernut rests on a shoehorn. (Please tell me you didn’t eat it….)
However. Being a diehard fan of all things Jean-Luc (no one answers a door better than he) and Enterprise related, I have to point out that seven of nine didn’t serve on the Enterprise, but rather on Voyageur. (I suppose her reluctance to use nipple covers will stun everyone into momentarily forgetting though, so carry on… or should I say, “Engage!”)
All told though… I give you an A+ for the tale. Renaming them the Bourg was pure genious.. but I hope by that you’re not trying to imply they’re Canadian. I just don’t see the humoUr in that.
She was on Voyageur!!! No wonder you’re the real power behind the behind …….
[Not a shoehorn but an old fashioned picture hook - I have no idea where it came from] ………
Oh… by all means then… eat away. There are no foot germs on old fashioned picture hooks that you have no idea where they’ve been.
(Shall I get the tummy medicine ready?)
Yes please ………. *burp*
Fracas gets jollies when Patrick Stewart says “Come”?
LOL… just wish I’d been the writer that came up with that. I’m always a day late and a dollar short when it comes to those ideas…
lol, the things you learn on the internet a decade after syndication takes effect. (big chuckles)
Sometimes it’s fun to creep up from behind …….
I’d eat a strawberry jam infused mars bar. I’d even eat two or three
It would probably be quite nice …….. you seem to have a sweet tooth as well …….
I think that I shall never see
A sight as lovely as a tree
Unless it’s a gingernut
Here on a plate for free!
That’s a lovely ‘pom’ Archie ……. however …….. there’s no such thing as a free gingernut ……. I would have thought with your VAST experience of life that you’d know that ……….
Ahh, the old TANSTAAFG syndrome rears its ugly head.
Sorry ……..
A touch os the serious for the moment.
“There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”, from economics theorists in the 1930’s and mainstream from Heinlien’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” in 1966. Unfortunately no one has ever bothered to apply the concept to our use of carbon fuels.
Normal service will now be resumed.
We reap just what we sow …….
I was waiting for the punch line “Milk, it does a body good” throughout the entire thread.
They’ve gotta be Bord implants, ’cause she’s not THAT big!
Oh yes, I hadn’t noticed ……..
Two of my favourite things – biscuits and Star Trek – thanks Daddy P!
Strange how things come together sometimes ……
