Thank you. Would you like a chocolate cup cake? I made them myself with my new Nigella cookbook ...

The Pageant will give Zandolit about two more hours to make a statement; the Pageant will then announce the Third Runner-Up.

May I join you? I must admit after all that champagne that seemed to have been thrown around like there was no tomorrow, not that i had more than a small glass I can assure you, it goes straight to my head! - it's very nice to meet up with some others for a lovely cup of tea. And cake too! The simple things in life keep you going don't they! especially during all this waiting around... just like the dentist!

Congratulations Fr. Buskin.

Contestant #11, Zandolit, finally shows up, not having understood fully that there was a beauty pageant going on and that she was the fourth runner up. She also got lost coming here on her way back from the beach, contributing to her tardiness.
She accepts the trophy handed to her. Puzzled, she looks at it and says uncertainly into the microphone thrust into her face: "Um, gee, thanks. What's this for? What? Oh - a beauty pageant? Really? Gosh. Hmmm. Well, this will make a... err... interesting... What is it exactly? Oh? A trophy? Well, never had one of those before. Gee... um... thanks"
Later that night, after getting home, she noticed that her tire was flat - the trophy made an excellent and sturdy car jack. Upon entering her house, she decided to finally hang that mirror she purchased, and the trophy came in handy to pound in the nail. It made a much better replacement for the broken table leg than what she was already using. Sadly, however, the dog thought the trophy was quite an intriguing object - it was subsequently dragged outside, peed on and buried. Interestingly enough, this treatment did not much affect the appearance of the trophy.

Well, we've given Fr. Buskin a few hours; considering he made a somewhat redundant appearance earlier, it's probably time to move on.
The Second Runner-Up, with 44 points, is...
CONTESTANT #4, ARIEL!!

Don't worry Dolphy, something will happen to Clare soon, making you the winner, I promise!!
*The Mid quickly runs to his hotel room, grabs his suitcase, passport and false nose and quickly exits through the back door. He jumps into a waiting taxi which drives him to the airport where he boards a private Gulfstream IV with no markings. It flys away into the sunset taking The Mid with it....before Dolphy can get her hands on him. He smiles to himself - it was well worth it. He can't wait until the next constest....*

Oh well.
And yoo-hoo to you too, you smarmy host. I don't normally post at 5.30 a.m., unless I'm suffering unusually badly from insomnia.
So I get the bronze award? Well, in the interests of tactical voting, I voted for me consistently in every round, so that I could have at least one vote I could count on, but I must say I am touched to discover that someone else has voted for me as well. For which I thank you, whoever you are.
I am now off to my dressing room, and would like to invite Fr Buskin round for consolation (I can't get that photo out of my head) which will take the form of a particularly moist sort of chocolate fudge cake. Cake forks will not be supplied, out of a desire to see how he manages without.
And after that, I must be on my way, as my agent informs me that he has arranged a tour of all the nightclubs in Patagonia for me. This was his last act before resigning, so I shall be looking for a replacement. If anyone would like to arrange my tours, put up with my fits of temper, and help me dress and undress, see me in about ... I think Fr Buskin should take about half an hour so come round after that.
Thank you and goodbye.

Well I never! Good heavens! How marvellous!
Well this is very exciting, could someone just take my camera and take a quick photo please? thank you, i can put that up next to Richard's graduation on the mantlepiece when i get home... Mrs Scott and Mrs Packer will be surprised! Now, oh, I have to stand here do I. yes, I think i'll still keep my handbag with me, i really do need that Kleenex now!
hello everyone! just to say a very warm thank-you to all the kind people who voted me, it's so nice to be appreciated. All my fellow contestants were absolutely super, though i do hope they enjoy taking off those dangerously high heels (they're not good for the feet you know) and pulling on a pair of slippers when they get home. And thank you very much kind compare, you really have been most accomodating and i think you have a real talent in a songwriting career.... yes, i do! such a nice voice. Oh thank you! such a lovely trophy, that'll have to go on the mantlepeice too... needs a little bit of brasso but i can se to it when i get home...oh, and if i could just get that changed from 'Miss' to Mrs? Thankyou, I'm afraid I'm rather old fashioned about these things.
well, this is all rather overwealming - oh hello? Weston-super-Mare Daily Argos, but of course, I read it every day! oh yes, cheese!
I really must be getting on, so, goodbye and thank you again to all the kind voters. Do pop in for a cuppa any time you're passing, it's no trouble.

*Ring ring. Ring ring.
Clare answers phone. It is a long distance call, although she doesn't know it it is from somewhere over the Pacific Ocean at present.*
Clare, it's The Mid. Just wanted to say congratulations on your crown, it was very well deserved, and if you are looking for a PR manager as you carry out your Miss Ship of Fools duties then I would be happy to offer my services. They come at a very reasonable fee.
Once again, congratulations!!! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
*The line goes dead, Clare looks at it thoughtfully before placing the phone back on the hook*

Re: How very kind.
-------------------------------------
Dear Mr Jenkins,
Just a short note to say thank you very much for the lovely tea-bags and delightful card. I enjoy earl grey very much, not so much first thing in the morning, when really I think you need a good robust flavour don't you, but certainly mid afternoon I find it so refreshing. You won't believe this, but when I went to the cupboard to put the box away I realised I only had one teabag left in my previous box, such wonderful timing! It has been great fun winning the beauty pageant, I have so many stories to tell my friends (some of them quite shocking about the other contestants but I'll spare your blushes) so I think I'll have to bake some cakes, invite them over for afternoon tea and show them the photos.
I wouldn't like to quibble with the organisers, they did such a marvellous job after all, but the trophy really is a bit of a devil to clean and does tend to dwarf the collection of china country cottages on the mantelpiece, so really the box of teabags is much more practical. Thank you again for your kindness and interest in the beauty pageant.
Yours with very best wishes,
clare
(Miss Ship-of-Fools Pageant Winner 2002 (Mrs)).
