News just in......
A Flower Wholesaler in Norfolk reported exceptionally high demand for Red Roses at 5am this morning.
558 alone were ordered by a Military chappie wishing to show his love and devotion to a certain lady.
This quantity was totally unexpected and more than rivals the demand shown in this rural area of England around Valentines day.
When asked about his purchase, the gentleman (who wished to remain anonymous) said he had a "special presentation" to do later in the day.
Florists in the area have also reported huge demand for Roses, so some sort of local ritual is thought to be involved in the upsurge.
TV crews and reporters have been sent to the area to investigate the high demand at this unusual time of year.
A spokesman for the wholesaler said "I could not believe it when this guy turned up at the crack of day. He wiped me out of my entire stock. He must have got into a bit of a thorny issue with his loved one and wants to make ammends".
"I have never run out like this before - it is most embarassing, so guess I will just have to put it all behind me and make sure I have sufficient stock for the next time".
Will have to look out for updates!

I understand Tombstone to be a man of the highest honour and integrety, but just in case an incentive is required a have in my grubby hand a crisp tenner which I will plunge deeply in to the nearest RBL Poppy Appeal collecting tin on the deed being carried out! What say you chaps?

Given Tombstones reasons for doing this hows about a tenner to TVOC as well
I would never suggest depriving the poppy appeal as its far too important but if you can spare it and given Tombstones demise is due to his now proven incorrect remarks about the vulcan never liftig off again hows about a donation to TVOC at http://www.tvoc.co.uk as well?
Tombstone.....
Oh, Toooombstoooooooone!!!
I was expecting to have seen evidence of a rosy glow to your cheeks by now, what's keeping you?
A promise is a promise!

'Vulcan outside hangar'.... Well that's a relief - you mean it wasn't beamed up by aliens?
I've sent Tombstone a PM - but no response yet......

It's been a week now and still nothing......i suspect Mr Tombstone has gone into hiding. On the plus side he'll never be able to pull on an England rugby shirt without being reminded of his broken promise

'558 was being towed out this morning and backed up against the hangar purely for a photo shoot with a Poppy drop by the overflying BBMF Dakota.
Bit claggy weather wise, so not too sure if the plans have gone ahead.
As for Tombstone, he certainly has gone to ground!
