YesBut have a nice weekend - Part 1

For YesBut’s Image posted on 15th August 2007, Pope Terry suggested the caption -


Lady one: "Margery, that strange man is still following us, quick get your taser out a fry the git"


The photograph suggested the following story to me:

“Its so good to see you.”

“And you.”

“I’m glad you’ve finally got around to spending the weekend with us”.

“Yes, I’m looking forward to meeting Yousif”

“He’s looking forward to meeting you, I’ve told him so much about you”.

“Gosh, I hope not everything!”

“Don’t be silly there are some things which must always remain our little secret”

“Well how are things with you two”.

“I’ll tell you everything when we get back to the flat, but I can’t wait to tell you Yousif has asked me to marry him”.

“Congratulations, wonderful, that’s a surprise”.

“Your surprised, how do you think I feel. We‘ve been living together for nearly three years, and we‘ve never even discussed getting married.”


He realised he was getting too close to them, he had to be careful, he didn’t want them to suspect they were being followed.

Roger looked out of his office window at the people crossing Lambeth Bridge. He was one of the few working for MI5, the British Security Service, who had a view of the Thames from his office. The telephone rang. Brian could only hear one side of the conversation.

“You followed them up at Waterloo Station?”

“Where is she now?”

“Find out the name of the other woman, and we’ll see if she’s on the system”

“Good. Phone me when you get more”.


Roger put down the phone and turned to face his visitor.

“Who was that?”

“Mathews, one of Axis Security Services operatives”.

“Your using ASS?”

“Yes, we have had to, with all the monitoring operations we currently have we’re fully stretched.”

“But ASS?”

“Don’t worry, it’s a low key surveillance, we’ve been asked to vet someone who’s asked for a transfer from our Brussels Embassy to work in Downing Street.”


When they got to the flat, they found Yousif waiting for them. After being introduced he kissed Geraldine on the cheek. She sat on the settee and looked at him, “yes” she thought, “I can see why Ann has fallen for him, he’s really handsome. But why has he suddenly decided to ask her to marry him?”
