Carstairs? Carstairs can you hear me?
Yes Sir.
Can you tell me anything yet?
What would you like to know Sir?
The enemy Carstairs, can you see the enemy?
No sir?
What do you mean no?
I mean no Sir, I can’t see any enemy at this moment.
But Carstairs we have the most up to date, high tech equipment available.
I appreciate that Sir, and I do appreciate all the pretty coloured lines, and the red circle is very striking but its all double Dutch to me.
Carstairs are you telling me that with all this technology at your disposal there is nothing you can tell me.
With this technology Sir, no.
Carstairs some times you are the greatest waste of space.
Yes Sir, my mother said very much the same thing Sir.
I bet she did, Carstairs, you were a problem as a child then?
Yes Sir.
I can imagine.
Yes Sir. One thing I can tell you though Sir.
Yes Carstairs and this better be useful.
I think it will be Sir.
Well what is it, spit it out.
Well Sir, there’s a large grinning German solder standing behind you with a large gun pointed at your head.

Carstairs may be a waste if space, but sounds as if he is in a better space.
Thanks Joe, not so sure his space is any better or not. I can never understand how he landed the job he has…lol
I know – not a good ending. But – I just visualized the whole conversation & the personalities & the story made me smile. 🙂
Thank you RoSy, that i made you smile means its a winner….Thanks again
Ha! All things considered, I’d rather be Carstairs at that moment 😀 Great story!
Thank you Jeremy, happy you enjoyed it.
Haha 😀 Brilliant Love the technology
Thanks Al, it was fun to give carstairs another outing.
He is definitely not the brightest crayon in the box, but by far one of the funniest 🙂
He is a bit of a Baldrick to me, i have his voice in my head when i write him, maybe that’s why i have fun with him.
I see Baldrick and the voices, this was funny and nice little ending – well done mate.
Thank you Jenny his voice is the voice of Carstairs.
..hmm I figured that – but then again I’m clever 😉
Well I would have said that to you but I know how humble you are and we know you blush easily.
Yes! Carstairs is definitely Baldrick! 😀
LOLOL!! Classic!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you, good you had a laugh.
Who knows, Carstairs may have a cunning plan! 🙂
You could be right Steve, though you’d have to worry about any plan he might have.
Great story. I think Carstairs is much smarter than his “superior” officer. I like Carstairs’ dry sense of humour.
Thanks Lyn and I am pleased you see my borrowings from Baldrick.
Now this made me smile…nice story.
