The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
So our fair Susan has been kidnapped by the French!
I'm forming a crack team called the 'Coalition of the Willing, Slightly disturbed, and heavily armed' to go in and get her back - Johnny Rambo style.
I, for my part, will be taking an insanely large weapon and a box of unbelievable luck which will get me out of stupidly tight spots to enable me to complete the mission - which shall be called Operation French Toast
Ben - you wanna join in? Bring stuff that goes bang ok?
The rest of you, who may not be up to the physical stuff (I'm thinking JDK, Hengle etc) can post your normal messages of support etc on this thread!
We leave at dawn! or shortly thereafter depending on how easy it is to get hold of some Euros (Ben - those are the pretend Dollars the silly Europeans use)

I understand she's being held in one of the many French surrender flag factories...My plan is to bring along a team of Ku Klux Klansmen to negotiate the sale of some white sheets before they're cut into flag size...This will keep them busy and later we'll blow up the plant and take them all out at one time...
While this is going on you take out her guards from a distance with the new sniper rifle I've developed...It's chambered in 20/.17 Stead...This is an experimental round based on the 20MM M61 auto-cannon shell necked down to take a .17 caliber bullet...The projectile leaves the muzzle at just under the speed of light, goes back in time and hits the target two minutes before the trigger is pulled...This gives you plenty of time to get back to the H1 Hummer for the getaway...
Meanwhile, I'll slip in unnoticed and rescue Susan from this criminal lair...I suspect she'll want to freshen up first so I'll bring along some lilac perfume and a red silk bustier with fishnet stockings for her...When I get her back to the Hummer, we'll be in the back seat for the de-briefing...You can drive......Ben

Can the Klan - they always drink too much and start being abusive to the air hostesses, particularly if they're black - perhaps a buyer for a hotel chain looking for sheets? Or an Italian - they like the white flag too!
The gun is a great idea but I was planning on going in all hand to hand, with my trustee combat knife and making the other weapons and traps as I go. They'll probably be horribly over engineered but that can be cool -
If you blow up stuff in the compound - using crazy timers, you can act as a diversion?
Susan may have been brainwashed, so she'll probably need carrying out of there - she'll probably be screaming stuff like "No, dont leave my kids behind!" which, of course will be nonsense (she'll thank us later) so I'll stuff a sock in her mouth -
Then I'll meet you back at the Hummer - where you can debrief her (I'll drive), dont put your back out...

Well, I hate to miss a chance to off some KKKers but as long as the hoteler is some pretentious French snoot, that'll be OK...
The explosions are no problem, I've got plenty of proximity fuses and time delay relays in a footlocker that I "forgot" to turn back in to Supply when I was discharged from the USAF...I can pick up some fresh C4 at the airport gift shop on the way out...
I realize the up-close-and-personal tactics are more fun but you'll get less of that damn French blood on you with the sniper gun...I hate the smell of cheap wine...
Just remember: I'll be doing Susan's debriefing alone...I may draw the curtain for that but the video will be for sale in the lobby......Ben

Absolutely - she'll "give you a war you wont believe"
You'll enjoy that!

You know I'm no good at this stuff.. so I'll leave the rescuing to the professionals :) I'll just send a cheer from over here and hope she comes back soon :) Her being missing disturbs the balance.
I just had a text message from Susan saying she's currently trapped under a Glacier!
The rescue mission was supposed to have included rappelling down the face of the glacier but Stead signed up for "repelling" class where they told him he already repels quite well...That put the mission a week behind and I'm patiently waiting in the ski lodge for him to get here...(Another coffee please, Ursula)......Ben

Sorry mate I had to go all Capt. Big Bollox in the end and perform the mission on my own.
Some concerns were raised about your intentions during the debrief by Senior staff so I was given the Green Light to, as they put it, "Go fully Johnny Rambo and stick it firmly to any surrender eating garlic munchers who get in the way".
As expected resistance was almost unnoticeable except for the noise some of them made running away leaving nothing behind but the 'smell of fear' and some discarded weaponary.
I'm delighted to say Susan was safely delivered back to Blightie at about 6pm today. All very matter of fact, discreet and without any kind of parade - you'd have hated it!
Enjoy your coffee and as always thanks for the international support!
