Dearest Bats,

With regards to Ms Linden, perhaps a more permanent dental adhesive could be procured before our festivities? Her tendency to slip her dentures out and wave them at passers-by is bad enough, but with her tendency to mislay them and try to appropriate others’ in their stead I feel something must be done. Three of my ladies have now had their dental plates quite ruined by whatever it is Miss Linden’s saliva apparently contains.

I think any attempt at a theme is doomed to failure, so we should just gather our ladies together with the promise of good wine, good food and good drainage. I shall also have sniffer dogs on hand in case Miss Twigham manages to get hold of any sherbet.

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

Clammy.

Top Tip!

  • Negotiated Congress

    Ms Zimmer has offered us some advice regarding negotiated congress which, although she is amply qualified, we have had to decline since her qualifications expired some time ago. (Indeed, due to the Trade Descriptions Act she now has to offer the promise of “a horrible time”.)
