Official Nudgeman 2012 Christmas Story
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 12:26 am
PART ONE.
The advert HAD to go in the paper. He needed an assistant, preferably one who was subserviant to the requirements of an AWping superhero. It was like a lover's tiff without any of the loving. They say familiarity breeds contempt and so it had. Contempt for his faithful trusty assistant Robin who had to breathe. Just the breathing was enough to drive him mad. And the way he ate his Nudgeflakes so noisily in the morning. If you mentioned the fact that the top was always left off the Nudgepaste, then the blood really started to boil.
As money was tight, the ad simpy read, "New Robin required, must be reliant"
There was a knock knock at the cave entrance.
"Ow! Me knuckles, damn....I've scratched my man bag......boffs a bit in here doesn't it?....laaaaa.....eh mate...mate..EH MATE!....anyone at home like?!?"
"Alright alright I'm coming....I'm coming....what on earth is that peculiar accent?.....oh do come in" Nudgeman grumpily thudded to the cave entrance
"Hi! I'm ROBin from the Wirral like, I was about to die of exhaustion, my man bag weighs a ton, the Jackpot King in Corley services was on £126, decided to wrap it round, made a quick monkey laaaa like you know...pleased to meet you, you must be the legendary Nudgeman...Phoooeeeeeeee your trainers boff a bit man, 'scuse me I'll just spray this air sanitiser.....STAND BACK.......oh I'm gay by the way, YES a homosexual....is that a problem? No didn't think it would be......EH MATE.....eh......is there time to hop in the shower?, I haven't washed for two hours and I've got some indulgent invigorating manly mineral body wash...hey have you got Egyptian cotton towels?"
"Oh errr....no...I think they're Primark own make 50% polyester cheap generic unbranded towels....."
"Oh for flip's sake Nudgeman, you're a multi-hundredaire, you should have some proper towels...when was the last time you dusted that bookcase?"
As the now incumbent figure made a beeline for the Nudgebath, Nudgeman pondered on the man bag. Was it a regional thing? This new ROBin never came up for breath. Something about being gay. Oh well, shouldn't matter, raking in the Nudgemoolah was the main thing. He should fit in alright, seems happy and obliging, didn't notice any annoying breathing. Probably being gay would mean the top would always be put back on the Nudgepaste. Happy days.
Nudgeman stoked up the fire (actually a Nudgefire, but this Nudgeprefixing is getting a tad annoying) and lay back and relaxed. It had been a good year over all. There had been high points and low points. Firstly he cast his mind back to the low points. Ah yes. The night he unplugged the Red Mist in Leicester Forest East and erected a tent in its place to stake out the Jackpot King. He gradually drifted into a story dream sequence...the images becoming more and more Vivid when...
"Hey laaaaa eh mate.....proper mouldy shower you've got there, you're getting more water off the stalagtites than the shower head...you wanna get that fixed, my brothers a plumber you know..he'd come down and fix it for ya but he's inside at the moment...six months for stealing some novelty golf balls from JJB...he's a good lad at heart he only wanted to give them away as a present...hey you're buying into this....f*** off...not all us Scousers are like that y'know!!! I can't believe you're buying into this....lucky I interrupted you going into that dream sequence. What was it that happened??...I saw the dream bubble, you had a tent up and that horrible old Darth Vader woman was croaking at ya saying laaaaa eh mate you can't put a tent up there, that Red Mist 50p cashpot is on £12.40 some players might want to session it......you'll have to leave if you haven't got ID laaaaaaa eh mate eh mate eh mate calm down eh mate"
"Ah yes. that fateful night. The cashpot was on £234. Rather too low. I was with captain Discipline and we were waiting for the pot to reach £498 before taking it on. However we knew that some Brighton players or Cashpot Kesh would be along to bravely quest for the spoils. I had a circuit breaker hidden within the tent and some tranquiliser darts. We were ready to jump on when the pot got big enough. However it went wrong. Captain Discipline had a coolant leak on his Fiat 10cc and he was topping that up and I must admit I was a tad tired....I drifted off......PARP PARP PAAAA PARP.....I failed to hear Kesh sneak in and pop a pound into....."
"Eh laaa get on with it will ya? The story ends with you getting that hideous brass statue on the Mantlepiece there.....I can still see the dream bubble"
"Yeah basically, that's right.....pretty much the thread I promised BFK in VIP....to cut to the chase yeah.....that's a bronze idol of Cashpot Kesh.....you just give it a rub with this oily rag and Cashpot Kesh will speak........"
"Proper hideous that laaa.....hey let me try...."
<<Who are you calling hideous? Man bags are for queers. I hate Liverpool. Kesh has spoken>>
"I'd suggest you don't rub the statue again. I save it for times of mania and crazy elation. It's a great way of bringing yourself back down to earth."
"F*ck that, that bastard idol is going in the bin."
"No no, I can't allow that, he's instrumental to this story the UNOFFICIAL Nudgeman Christmas Story 2012."
<<I know you like hanging around the back of clubs near the bins gay boy, but I am the mighty Kesh, I stay up here looking down on you idiots>>
"Hey I didn't rub him that time....he can't speak"
"Well he just did...he is the mighty Kesh after all, he shouldn't have to wait for you of all people to rub him with the oily rag"
"F*ck this laaaa calm down...eh mate wanna buy a car stereo?....no just kidding that's a stupid 90s stereotype.....laa laaaa.....nah I like saying laaa a lot, don't know why.....guess I liked the Sound of Music or something...Doooee ray Mee laaaa....."
"Talking of doe or even dough, fancy a trial run? A chance to prove your metal as my assistant? A chance to go out and make some serious money?"
"Yes. I'm up for it. Sure me being gay doesn't bother you? Nah it shouldn't. I'm just here for a laff and a bit of munting and prunting. Besides which you need to trim your nasal hair, there's no way I'd get into bed with you....."
"Prunting?"
"Yeah pro munting... like pieing out a Rainbow Riches £500 POG, but doing it in the style of Buddylove, ie a professional pie-ist.....prunting....it's like munting, but way more profitable"
"I see. Very well, and errr I like my nasal hair long thankyou very much"
Right, well here we are in the Nudgemobile, I have to drive of course, but you're the navigator. Usually I'd stop off for the Red Mist in the City Arms then head off to the Machine X in Nudgington Quicksilver......
"F*ck that right off Nudgeman, we're going to Mecca Bingo they've got community Boogie Nights, Solid Gold deluxes, Diva's Reels and a Spinwall £70. Plus the membership card is a lovely shade of pink."
"Oh...welll...uncoventional.....but let's see......"
2 hours later.....
"Oh we'll have to tell them the coin recycler has run out of notes"
"I can't believe your luck...."
"I know...I'm not really that lucky, let's try this £35 Big Reds whilst we wait for a mechanic to surface....."
<<I think you're going to go away with rather a huge, huge sum of money......>>
Back in the car park the suspension creaked and groaned.
"Wowsers!" exclaimed Nudgeman, "I've had days where the coins make the suspension groan but never the notes....."
"Oh no laaaa eh mate.......that's Captain Discipline's Fiat 10cc in the slot next to us....I think she must be dressed as Catwoman..windows are a bit steamy"
Back at the Nudgecave.....
"Eh la....whaddya think? Were you happy with the profits......?"
"More than happy. No stupid heat, lots of luck, laughs, banter and best of all really decent profit going halves.....see you bright and early, 7am tomorrow...."
"Alright Nudgeman, take care, been great meeting you laaaaa eh mate mate see ya tomorrow"
Nudgeman retired to bed with his glass of Bell's Fruits finest malt whisky. Life was looking rosy. No boring chore like runs sessioning out Mists and Megas.....ha.....he'd blow 'em all out the water with this new ROBin. Could he handle the gay thing? Yeah, of course he could. It was the naughties. How current, how contempary to be a superhero with a homosexual accomplice in tow. Yeah he left the competition standing.....you laugh now Cashpot Kesh.....you laugh now......
<<Spinwall £70....ha ha sick player!!>>
....grrrrr......curse that blasted idol......still the whisky made everything rosy and Nudgeman settled into a deep sleep.......
BRIIIIIING!!!! BRIIIIIING! Christ who was ringing up at 2am?
"Hi! It's me ROBin.....you'll never believe this....I'm on the Jackpot Party Website and I've just got freespins on Zeus for £1000 on £2 stake........"
"Hey that's really good, I mean I was asleep, but I'm pleased for you, really pleased....good on ya.....happy punting....prunting...whatever it is you're doing now that is...."
