Sinister: Wallyford picnic

[Ian Nicolson]

Hello pop-pickers

Why yes we should have! Wallyford would be a wonderful place to have a 
picnic and I just don't know why nobody's thought of it before. We could 
have it amongst the ruins of the greyhound track and take deep, satisfying 
breaths of the heartening aroma of the Barbeuchleugh tip. It would be so 
much fun! And I'm sure the local youths would be only too happy to join in 
our merry gathering. If we stay until nightfall we may even be treated to 
one of the numerous fire festivals held in this quaint little town 
throughout the summer months. Afterwards we could pop into the Fa'side Inn, 
which I'm told rivals even the Saracens Heid for warmth of welcome and 
jovial atmosphere. So that's it - I'm organising a Wallyford picnic: this 
Saturday, meet you in the Miners Club. Be there or, um, value your safety...

The perceptive Robster Brennan noted:

He's right, damn him! The secret's out! Cause it wasn't a picnic at all and 
it wasn't even in North Berwick. It was, in fact, a conference of the Time 
Lords (not the KLF) on Gallifrey. Someone thought that a Sinister picnic in 
North Berwick would be a good cover, but Rob's seen right through that. 
Feck. Actually, seconds after that photo was taken a troop of cybermen 
poured down over the rocks, setting our little hearts (both of them) 
a-beating. Thankfully the daleks who were coming from the other side got 
stuck in the sand and seaweed (poorly designed these daleks) which allowed 
an escape to the various parked Tardises (Tardises? Tardis'? Tardi? Who 
knows? Or cares?)

Bagsy I was Tom Baker.
