Tuesday 05 November 2024

On Tuesday 05 November 2024 Buffalo-Dixie Shellhole raided Port Rex.  Coinciding with Guy Fawkes Day, the raid was planned with military precision except that nobody remembered the gunpowder..

D-Day and H-Hour were decided by careful reconnaissance, systematic collecting and analysing of intelligence and looking at the ELDD calendar..  Port Rex was taken completely by surprise, apart from Top Table considerately leaving the security gate on automatic.

The raid was considered an unmitigated success and all adjourned to the bar to celebrate / drown their sorrows according to personal preference.
