#wordlewonderleague #wordlebuddies @albolt76 @twdavisafc @bagshaw2112 THE NAKED FIN From the files of Police Squid A Quinn Marlin Production Today's episode - The Final Chapter Dec A. Pod sighed, gulped, and then presented himself as ordered to the Watch Commander, Captain Pilchard. It was a first day as a rookie. He had joined the eight arms of the law. “Ah, Officer Pod! Please sit down,” said the captain. “I just wanted a word with you before rollmop call. Now, I am sure you know that you are the first squid to graduate from the Academy. The eight arms of the law means what it says, and you are likely to take quite a bit of stickleback from the rest. Don’t let your two extra tentacles bother you. Just keep your head down and learn the job.” “Yes, Sir!. Err … Sir? Are you any relation to Commandant Pilchard from the Academy?” “Why yes. That is my big brother, Eric. He has told me many, many, many, many wonderful things about you. Of course, that makes no difference here. You sink or swim. Like I said, no squid has ever made it.” “Well Sir, that may change. There are several squid in the class below me at the Academy.” “So I understand, Pod. We might have to start a separate squidron, or maybe an inktank – we could do with one of those here.” The captain went through a few more bits and pieces then Dec was told to go and wait in the briefing room with everyone else. He felt that all eyes were on him as he entered. The room was fully octopied. Dec just squidged into a corner and waited. Fortunately, it was not too long before Captain Pilchard arrived. “Quiet down! Quiet down!” He waited for the noise of conversation to subside. “First item on the agenda. We have a new rookie with us today, as I’m sure you are all aware. Any offers to partner up with Officer Pod?” There were a lot of bewildered glances, but one tentacle went up. “Let me Sir. I know how to handle these dirtbags.” “Not likely, Sergeant Harris. We all know why you were thrown out the Academy. Anyone else? Is Dolph in? Where is Officer Dolph?” A gnarled tentacle went up at the back. “Ah, Dolph. You show our rookie the ropes today, please.” The old veteran just nodded. “Now, next item on the agenda is the gang trouble. C has got to be reined in, and his urchins stopped in their tracks. Be on the lookout for any known offenders and bring them in.” There were various nods and murmurs. “Now, the final thing today, fishing. Attacks are on the rise and the tech guys are on it but just ignore any spam, sprat or other titbit that may suddenly appear before your eyes, otherwise you will get hooked.” “OK, that’s all folks. Oh, and one more thing. Let’s be octuple out there!” As everyone began to leave, Dec waited for Officer Dolph to approach. “Right, kid, let’s go,” he said, turning away. Dec followed him. As they were passing through the station they passed a room from where a lot of raucous laughter was emanating. “That’s the Detective Bureau,” said Dolph, as Dec peeped in. “That’s Captain C. Bracken, Looneytenant Frank Marlin and Detective Iceberg. And that shrimp in the corner, that’s Al.” As they got outside and started patrol, the first thing Dec spotted was a large metal cabinet standing on the seafloor. “What’s that?” he asked. “That’s Davy Jones’ Locker,” Dolph told him. “Davy Jones?” Dolph was astounded. “Have you never heard of the Sea Monkees? Seam Bream Believer and Pleasant Sunken Galley Sunday?” Dec shook his head. “You’ve got a lot to learn, kid.” (If anyone wants to hear more about Police Squid next week, pass it on.)

#wordlewonderleague #wordlebuddies @albolt76 @twdavisafc @bagshaw2112 Hello everyone. I am carrying out an investigation into woeful traction on here. Yesterday morning I sent a tweet on here containing the first part of a spoof called Police Squid. This is an idea I have had for years but never did anything with it because it felt more of a cartoon strip and I cannot draw. It is a bit like 'Dr, Oh No! in conception. I used these tags because many of the people following me used to be in the WWL and a lot of you are still using the hashtag to stay in touch. I want to ask if you all saw my tweet in your feeds yesterday. The viewing figures are terrible and no feedback at all. Now it could just be I write rubbish which would explain no feedback but one has to see it first. My tweets are hardly seen by many even though I am paying premium and if I don't put any hashtag it it is even less. My main drive for joining here and still being here is to promote my books but there is no point if I am just shouting into a void. Carry On Wordling and enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend. Many thanks. David
