The Proposal
By mad_uncle_jack
25 January 2008
The Scene - the front room of no. 35 Lavender Gardens. Bob is kneeling in front of his long-term Girlfriend Louise.....

B: you know how I feel about you, I’ve never felt this way about anyone…

L: oh Darling, are you asking me to marry you…?

B: if you will have me…

L: oh Bob, my love, this is the happiest day of my life

B: does that mean ‘yes’?

L: oh yes yes yes yes yes !!

 

They embrace

 

B: (exited) I’ll get onto the Vicar this afternoon, you can start drawing up the guest list, then there’s the honeymoon to think of, and the reception….

L: …and the bran flakes, the gasometer, the huge towels….

B: (confused) bran flakes?

L: oh you big silly you, everyone has bran flakes at the wedding breakfast…

B: ok…small misunderstanding there…what about the gasometer?

L: oh Bob, you’ve never done this before have you…we need a 50,000m gas-holding structure to ensure that gas pipes in the surrounding area can operate within a safe range of pressures and there is no necessity for a large underground reservoir. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s it was thought that gasholders could be replaced with high pressure bullets. However, regulations brought in meant that all new bullets must be built several miles out of towns and cities, and the security of storing large amounts of high pressure natural gas above ground made them unpopular with local people and councils.

B: maybe we are being a bit hasty…

L: Bibble…
