The Neverending Story

[Alex Clouter]

And now for something completely different: let's see if we can create a neverending story of Cappy the Car.....

all you have to do is add just one sentence that finishes off where I started and we will see how the story/ adventure develops....


There once was a cute looking sportscar called Cappy who decided to drive up to the Scottish Highlands.

[Graham Farley]

Cappy really wanted to join the other Cappos on the far remote television island called Capposay.

[Charlotte Howard]

..and to get to Capposay, she had to board a tiny ferry, in choppy seas, that was full of sheep & strange people.

[Adrian Furniss]

Then as the ferry sprung a leak after contacting a submerged rock, the sheep got very scared and the lower decks became rather messy and malodorous.

[Ian Linden]

However, they poured on the coal, and made it to port before the water had got up to Cappy's alloys

[Graham Farley]

Alas if they had only gone starboard and not port they would have landed in a protected bay but port took them to the fabled entrance to Loccy Ness so with the water lapping around the wheels something stirred at the bottom of the Loccy.......................

[Bettina Richmond]

We quickly put the windows up and the roof went on to stop the water pouring in ......

[Ian Linden]

Then Cap'n Cappo ordered "Up Periscope".

[John Dean]

Then we realised it was the rain rather than the loch water.

[Bettina Richmond]

that was leaking into our already crowded cabin.

[Jo Atkin]

What with the sheep the cap'n and half mate it was a wonder that rain was the only thing leaking!

[Adrian Furniss]

Washed up in the shallows, one of the 'strange people' managed to open the cargo doors allowing Cappy to drive ashore followed closely be the sheep and a myriad bouncy little lambs that had been born on board.

[Graham Farley]

On arrival the now slightly happier soggy Cappo thought I must get imy turbo drier what with with all that muck slopping around. So off it whizzed up and up the highest and nearest peak. On the summit Cappy found a strange old style police call box. Beeping his horn the Cappo soon had an old man (with a scarf) attentively looking at his mucky paintwork.......Cappy said who are you and the old man said yes!

[Alex Clouter]

The old man continued...

"Yes, I see you have a sheep behind you - any chance of using its wool to clean your dirty bodywork?!


Note Graham - one sentence at a time please :!:

[Graham Farley]

Cappy became scared when from over the next hill came an object shaped like a metal dustbin, with knobs on, insisting it wanted to exterminate, exterminate............ The 'who' man flung himself into the telephone box and Cappy wisely followed. The world spun and lights flashed and Cappy just remembers being pushed out, minutes later, landing heavily in a peat bog surrounded by bunches and bunches of shamrocks. It was handy andy thought Cappy that an ancient marker had been left in the ground pointing to a place called Cork........................ Jack and Ory

[Jo Atkin]

Cork......hmmmm.......What a strange place this was, all springy and full of holes, and what is that incredible smell? As Cappy was driving around he started to feel very happy and very giggly, he didn't know what had happened to him, maybe he thought before passing out it had something to do with those rivers of red liquid that were flowing down through the streets.

[Bettina Richmond]

as Cappy ground to a halt, the last thing he remembered was a strange looking ambulance coming toward him.

[Adrian Furniss]

Then Cappy had to admit that this was indeed the strangest ambulance of all time - a white Cappuccino with a blue flashing light - could this be the famous and much loved "Baby Ambulance of Cork"?

[John Dean]

With that all things went blurry. When Cappy came round the following morning he had the distinct feeling he was'nt firing on all three cylinders.

[Alex Clouter]

In actual fact, when he looked at himself in the reflection of a Suzuki showroom window he had turned from a ravishing red to a more sophisticated silver colour....



Barry, where's the silver (or grey) font colour.....?
