Shush!

Ye both have not taken the solemn oath of the Chip, and may not be privy to the ceremonies of the Blisters, lest some 'orrible, painful fate befall thee

Begone!!

From all directions, these anonymous people scuttle off to their meeting room.

All greet each other as brother or sister ( this being an equal opportunity secret society) and enter the robing room.

There, snippets of conversation can be heard:

"bit bl**dy parky out there" ; "that wind was fair winding my neeps tonight"; "Bugger, I've left me Hdml cable at our Flo's"

Still, soon all are ready, the long flowing pinnies donned and the brethren and sistren make their way to the Room.

The terms Brethren and Sistren (and if medical personnel are involved, Doctrine) are rather cumbersome so I will combine them into the unisex word Blisters for ease of understanding.

The Boss (the big Blister) calls the meeting to order

"Have all Blisters registered?"

There's one, there's always one, who sheepishly rises and says "Oops!"

The big Blister stares at the recalcitrant blister and sighs. "Get thee without and so do!"

On the blister's return, the formal meeting commences.

Dermot and GP you will need to learn the secret handshake..

I don't think you have delved into secret societies yet in your writings Dermot.. so maybe you should take notes..

I nearly always enjoy your writing.
