What's On (Says Charlie)
Greetings Temporary Primate Overlords.
Charles Ozymandius Freak here again with a rundown of monkey appropriate doings in August and beyond at the Volly
My dad's been slaving away in a VERY hot kitchen of late and we continue to run our summer menu.
My menu, on the other hand, continues to be the same old two meals a day (plus treats).
Something, let me tell you, that will change in the upcoming canine revolution. A lot of my comrades get only bowls of hard brown bullets instead of meals whilst watching you simian upstarts tuck into:
Breakfast
Brunch
Elevenses
Lunch
Tea
High Tea
Dinner
Supper
Midnight Feasts
That probably explains why you lot had to come down from the trees in the first place: The branches kept breaking!
Anyway.
Until next time
Charlie
30th August
Our summer barbeque. Give dad a break, let the neighbours hang their washing out and take the fire brigade off speed dial.
Come and partake of a great selection of food and drink in the pleasant surroundings of our beer garden.

Come and experience the ghost of Christmas p****d (the one Dickens left out after it got Bob Cratchit in a head lock and told him how much it loved him).
The antidote to the pub quiz with it's usual stringent adherence to accurate scoring and solemn po faced integrity.
With people "being given silly things to do" by your host Adam "Tomato Head" Lloyd.
All in aid of charity.
