Out with the lads

I tripped over a chocolate orange and accidently ate it. I slid on a packet of chocolate buttons and gulped them down by mistake. if they hadn't melted on impact I would have choked. Some cool original fell out of the cupboard, dealing me a glancing head blow before alighting on my tongue. Thus, for health and safety reasons, I had to leave the house and get some air chaperoned by Sam Gadgee, Thumper, Killer of Rabbits and Ginger Ninga, scourge of mice everywhere. Round the forest we went, sizing up the fallen trees, like a band of Hobbit engineers from the (Aberdeen) shire.
