Figured it was my turn for once!

Plus this way I beat the rush to the bar.

Now I must return to the previous thread to relocate my Tunnock's secret stash.

Serve yourselves until the bar gerbils arrive.

@MarieDeGournaymaybe the Real Bluestocking needs an annex for its - appropriately downscaled - microbrewery?

If she gets the angles right (through a window) they can be milling around in the distance at the outside garden party.

You're right, as is Boily, the Father Ted 'small/far away' thing could work

The problem is space - the building stands on a board with just a few inches around it, so there isn't enough space for the small/faraway perspective solution.

I often wonder what is to become of the model in the future - I don't really have room for it in my house, and it would be a very outing thing to have around, I'd have to change the name and lose the gerbils!

So if it sat on a bigger base, it could have the microbrewery and the beer garden and a pond and the trees full of tree kangaroos and sloths - oh hello knittedsloth, long time no see! But for now, it is what it is, and the littler little people will populate some other, smaller building..

You stick a bit of green paper outside the window.

Take the internal shot of the green paper from inside.

You set up the garden party on another surface you don't intend to use for another month.

Photograph that from the same angle as the inside shot

Then spend six months trying to merge the two shots together.

During those months you carefully package up the whole Bluestocking and oubuildings/garden party and send them to my yacht.

Banned has the keys you can liaise with her.

You could sell it to a model village. Polperro is near me then I could visit it and be overcome with pride

Unfortunately the instructions to prepare a lemon drizzle cake with a file in it were not gerbil-proof.

Bloody hell, is image review on a go-slow again?

Edit - Ah! It appeared!

Worth waiting for!

Oh dear - wrong type of file :-(

Of course it could be that the gerbils printed the file on emery paper, so you could use it, though it might take a long time to work its way through the bars.

<Reads instructions on how to make your own file from a prison bed leg.>

I just noticed I've been working out in the prison gym

Aha! The final scene from Das fliegender Walross. Such a shame that opera of Wagner's has been lost!

You are looking particularly buff! Maybe you could just try ripping the bars from the window?

That works.

Had to take my crocs off though

<gives lemon drizzle cake to Big Bertha in cell 12>
A euphemism, surely. Trades with Big B for fags or maybe bribes...

Excellent! Fly free, Boiled Beetle, fly free!

Nah, I'm top dog, Big Bertha sorted out Doris in the laundry for me earlier as Doris hadn't paid back her loan.

I love this 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve no idea yet what all the animals are about but I love it all 🤣🤣🤣

I hate to interrupt The Beetleshank Redemption, but perusing today's emails I see there's now a Colin the Caterpillar semifreddo cake, while for those with more sophisticated palates Chocolates Direct now stock Carstens Lubeck Marzipan in a variety of offerings.

This has been a public service announcement. Thank you.

Wait - what? Boily’s been banged up?

I’ve made a banner.

And now I want a lemon drizzle cake, and a lime one and a grapefruit one. Please and thank you.

With or without files, Woley?

O now, Lubeck marzipan certainly piques my interest.

It's a nice city and well worth a visit for the history and sights, but it does know that it stands or falls on its marzipan.

I’m easy, @Magpiecomplex! 😂😂😂

Lübeck marzipan, you say? Ooh, ta!
