WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE!
I have decided to write a book to keep me entertained, it can get very lonely living on such a remote outpost. My book shall be called either Notes from a Small Island or, and this is my favourite, Treasure Island. Sue me if you feel plagerised!
I am currently developing the plot and characters, I'm of a mind to base it around a love story, where a brother and sister are separated as youngsters, the both grow up to adulthood without knowing of each others existance, he becomes a Drug Dealing Crimelord who knows no fear, his sister becomes a Missionary who leads a gang of starving children out of Communist China to freedom. There paths cross again when the Crimelord goes in search of new cocaine growers in the wilds of China. They meet, fall in love, discard the children as a hindrance, and only realise they are related when a matching tatoo is revealed on each of there necks. He shoots her dead to hide there incestous relationship. He lives happily ever after.
Oh bugger, I've told the entire story there!
Some more news just in, we have finally been given the go ahead by Her Majesty's government to form a new infantry battalion. This will leave us in a good position to defend our shores. The battalion will be named the St. Range Comancheros, that's the good think about being me, you can let your imagination run wild.
I mean how many of you, my dear readers, have named themselves Lord, named and formed an infantry battalion, wrote a novel called Treasure Island, been shipwrecked and then rescued, built 60ft high Plasticine models of Her Majesty and Philip? Not many, I'll bet.
Anyway, not content with forming and naming the Comancheros, I've decided on the battle dress as well. The everyday uniform (there must be a special word for this, ah yes I'll make one up, it will be 'common dress'), The common dress will be camo pants and jacket, with a green Australian/Cowboy style bush hat, with a small black plumed feather.
The 'best dress' for ceremonial occasions will be the green combats and jacket with a black peaked cap with gold badge on.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the leading photo and headline, we're running out of fresh water on the Island, we've only got enough to last to Sunday.
The good news is I've got 200 bottles of Pays d'oc in the cellar, so my ramblings may become more rambling!

PLASTICINE IS WATERPROOF TOO!
Yes, indeed it is true, not only have we got Easter Island beat on the grounds that our heads will be in colour, we have also found out that Plasticine is waterproof!
Not for us rain soaked rocky sculptures.
As you can see, in time for her birthday celebrations, Her Majesty Liz2's head is now in place. What more fitting tribute than to be looking out for eternity over Plumbers Inlet.
I am of a mind to carve a little seat on her majestic bossoms for me to sit upon and gaze out to sea!

ART FOR ARTS SAKE?
Where to begin? I said I was going to bring more art to the Pitcairn's, so here it is: The Pitcairn's answer to Easter Island's up until now stronghold on the 'massive carved heads on islands' thing.
In a multi million pound (weight) sponsorship deal with Plasticine, the Pitcairns will take delivery of 40 tonnes of the stuff this week, followed by two more loads next week.
The models on the left are a tribute to Her Majesty for the celebration of her 80th Birthday. The first picture is obviously Prince Philip and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Using the donated Plasticine we are to construct 60 foot statues of Her Majesty and Prince Philip's busts.
Similar to those heads found on Easter Island, but ours will be far superior, in that ours will be in full colour.
I think you'll find that's a bit of a brainwave on my part.
The second picture is supposed to be that of our future King, Prince Charles, but even my twisted imagination cannot see the resemblance. Camilla possibly, Charles nope!
That's what happens when you sub contract the design stage of any undertaking.
If you recognise who the second photograph maybe a likeness of, please let them now there'll be a sixty foot version some time soon on the Pitcairns.
BTW You've got to admit we've got Easter Islands beaten hands down.

Pitcairn's Portrait Gallery gets Modrian
Hi to all my loyal subjects, it is with great pride and jubilation that I announce to you all that I have on your behalf bought from the John Paul Getty Collection a Modrian to hang in our gallery!
Rejoice around the Islands for this is truly a great day. I purchased via a intermediary named E Bay for the princely sum of PI£125,000 (delivered in a cardboard tube!).
The piece if called Composition B in r(Ed), it will hang along side the two Beryl Cook pieces.
My good man Owen CBE has taken it upon himself, with my full admiration, to obtain for the gallery a commissioned work of the venerated, but slightly mad, Tracy Eminem, famous for such work as My Name is Stan, Slim Shady and Toy Soldiers.
