Fat-Boy's off playing with his other friends so Nance self-appoints himself Deputy Tosser and sets off with Brett and Tate in tow, - wise choice.

It's strictly no-contest as Brett leads the pack with an excellent witter-free 38 points and, aided and abetted by Nance, claims £4 each for his pals. The least said about DJ, Turbo and Tate's day the better but Mr. Grumpy, having experienced an all-day lesson at The Forest of Arden the previous day, finds something of a golf game. "Wholesale incompetence" is upgraded to "mere mediocrity" on the Muffin Scale. All he needs now is a lengthy spell on a psychiatrist's couch and the renaissance will be complete. 

It's also rumoured that Cutie-Cutie has been given the all-clear to hit some balls on the range, so a return to action and a share of sandwich purchasing can't be too far distant. OWL fines will resume shortly.

Finally, Nance's quiet lager-shandy on the terrace is cut dramatically short by the appearance of Julie, Ryan and Elliot. Unfortunately Julie is on the mobile phone and within ten seconds of her arrival is admonished firstly by the Lady President and secondly, the ever-watchful Fat-Boy who spots the offence from fully 20 yards away. Nance beats a hasty retreat.
