The next morning Kite woke up Albert .
“Wake up you old bugger have you seen the state of my Time Machine, its covered with mud grass and Eggs !, what have you been up to in my pride and joy ?”
“Put kettle lad I could murder a brew” he said rubbing his beard .
So Kite filled the Kettle on and dropped two tea bags in two cups and they sat at the table , Albert was stroking Eric`s head and giving him a piece of biscuit .
“Well what the Billy Shears did you get up to while you was away ?” asked Kite
“Here there and everywhere “ he said with a grin
“Never mined the funny stuff “
“Alright then boy , keep your hair on
After me and Lana finished walking round the shops and got that nice Lava Lamp for you and I explained that we would not miss the launch because we could set the time and place and we would be there in a split second ,even if we had been gone for a year .
So she said
Your saying we could go any where and see almost any event in history and then go to the launch ?
So I told we could and then she says that she would really love to see the launch of the Apollo 11 ,for it being one of the early spaceships that she had learned about in history and it had inspired her to become an Astronaut, and she gave me this lovely smile and how could I resist .
OK lets go and get lunch and then launch .
“So you went for something to eat in the sixties , what did you have ?”
“Well we thought we would have a burger ,so we asked this old lady if there was a MacDonald`s about and she said they used to live on Manchester Road but they had moved years ago “
“ had to ask” Kite groaned .
“We thought we would get one at the Apollo , because you can all ways find a Burger Van at any event , so we set the date July 16th 1969 Cape Kennedy, and when we got out we was at the edge of a loch “
“A what ?”
“Not a what, a Loch , it was Loch Ness in 1933 the 22nd of July !“ and Albert folded his arms and waited for an explanation
“Ah, well the Time Machine has gone well past its MOT date” Kite told him
“You take it in for an MOT ?”
“Yeah every 12 months , I have been a bit busy lately and the last one cost me a fortune and the Mechanic who works there always comes up with the same line
“Were a bit busy so we cant do it right away and come back and you know it’s a very old model and its hard to get parts for this old banger” and tutting and rubbing his chin and shakes his head , he does that every time “
“I see , so as it looked a lovely place and we still hadn’t had anything to eat ,and the Machine needed to recharge a bit , we set off down the road and started thumbing for a lift .Then this car pulls up and this nice chap asks us where we are going ?
So I asked him if there was a Macdonald`s near here ?,
He says “I laddy there`s some in the next village and he introduced himself George Spicer was his name and we got in and off we went and as we got a few miles down the road all of a sudden a bloody great creature shot across the front of the car and George slammed the brakes on and the creature disappeared into the Loch .”
“So You telling me you saw the Loch Ness monster “
“Yes , you have heard of it ?” Albert asked
“I have indeed, carry on what happened next ?”
“When we got to the village and we start to tell the people that we had seen a great big creature that was in the loch , and they go into there homes and came out with burning torches and Eggs and came running at us shouting heathens and the Devils children and so we ran like the clappers and I nearly didn’t make it as I fell over my flares “
“Flares ?”
“Oh yeah I forgot to mention that we bought some hippy cloths when we went shopping and as we were only going to 1969 from 1967 there wouldn’t be a problem “ said Albert.
“So you were dressed as hippies in 1933 telling a village that you had seen a creature ?”
That’s right , we just made it to the Time Machine and they pelted it with the Eggs and that’s why its full of yolk “ said the old bugger
“Well Mahrarishi Yogi Albert get the mop and get it cleaned up “
“I am a bit hungry now how about some omelettes “ the old Yogi asked
“You didn’t find a MacDonald`s in the village then ?”
“No , they had moved years ago “ said the old bugger .
“Wake up you old bugger have you seen the state of my Time Machine, its covered with mud grass and Eggs !, what have you been up to in my pride and joy ?”
