Operation Weekend round up - Or OI GIVE ME MY HOUR

Still exceptionally upset by this loss of an hour that the humans love so much. Extra daylight indeed! Who needs daylight? 
Our pub lost trade and sleep! Operatives found themselves losing essential download time: especially @Callimund who had planned to sleep through the entire fiasco - in the interest of science of course.

It was decided: at the emergency SPECTRE meeting: held at a really top secret location known only to the few (and our Mole at the FO) that something would have to be done...

And so we put our top Operatives on the case. Under the watchful watch of Z, troops were dispatched to analyse maps, check clocks, and even patrol the furthest reaches of our empire. Even @sgt_fang woke up long enough to put the prawns at our disposal. Yes, things were that desperate. But his enthusiasm for the chase didn't last long and he returned to the drilling for which he is famous!


@CorvusFluff and the Flying Division - have been conspicuous at the sides of road - indeed they have given new meaning to a rookery of crows. We admire their bravery but wonder what they hope to achieve by such flaunting of wings and numbers...

@olsenHalkier ventured to Stockholm to see how things were hanging, while at @fordthecat was hunting new Operatives at a top secret location somewhere near Cambridge. We are assured that double and even triple agents are plentiful there.


Our van ally - @bluebellstweets informed us of life in the fast lane and while our undercover cat @hutchinsonDave took further interest in debunking the "budgie myth" of cheap booze, fags and pasties - which so engulfed our human enemies that they missed the theft of time - we here at SPECTRE created havoc and let loose the dogs of war!


No word came from our allies the dragons - we assume they still have their hour and our oblivious to the trials and tribulations affecting us cats and our plans for domination. And so with rumours of bugs affecting twitter followers, our weekend came to an end...


More next weekend

SPECTRE MANIFESTO IN LIGHT OF BUDGIE

I really don't understand the human system of government... 
They give with one hand and take with the other. 
Where's the sense in that?
With cats it will be ALL ABOUT US!
 
Just so you know where you stand....

Capice?

Friday 23rd March 2012

So it's that time of year again! And Operatives, it is time you did your duty to the cause,  by confusing the human community. How? By messing up their plans for summer. 


Ensure your human is late for all their appointments by doing hideous things to their clocks...

You have your orders

Thursday 22nd

Lordy Lordy - all this fuss about a budgie on wednesday! What is it with those humans? May I suggest our flying division steer clear of these feathered birds, when out on their next recruitment drive, as I'm not sure they are not allies in the same way as the dragons or @Corvusfluff

Fabulous news from @callimund - our experiments into invisibility seem to be going from strength to strength. Thanks for the photo below to prove we are onto something here...

It is nearly time for Operation Weekend. As usual, your plans and arrangements need to be filed - IN TRIPLICATE - with either us or our trusty pub

Sunday 18th Operation Weekend update

Another successful weekend Operatives -  I understand that the festivities surrounding Ireland's Saint Patrick was a perfect success for our ally @poringlandoak. Much real ale was sold.


@callimund suggests that Operatives look into snaring their humans with the Motor racing now that the Whales have triumphed in the Rugby.  This may have merit.


More round up news tomorrow. I wait to see how our Danish Ally has done with the wig plan - and there has been no  word from the flying division or the tree department, but our allies the Dragons have made in roads in all things Dragon. Or at least I believe that's what the ROAR meant

Operation Weekend Saturday Night

I'm sorry we cannot blog tonight - too much celebrating of the Grand Slam! Still not sure why Whales are so important to Rugby.


Sports Division are too drunk to explain

Operation Weekend Friday 16th March 2012

Operatives have been busy informing us what their plans are to ensure that humans do not notice the next stage of our takeover of the world...


@furryballs30 indicates that they are executing Operation Get Under Owners Feet All Day - which is an excellent stunt  and we commend it as an idea to our other operatives.


@OlsenHalkier is undertaking Operation Selling Cat Hair Toupees - which sounds a little hair raising to me,  and here at SPECTRE we feel that, may be,  he  should master Operation Tin Opener first! But as always, we wish our Nordic Division all the best with their marketing and research. Head of our Flying division -@CorvusFluff  - on the other hand is going with a tried and tested plan - and is bobbing his head up and down and cawing loudly. Olsen please take note of the simplicity


@littlekatmom have discovered that the Ipad is already convinced that "Your Cat Won!" - always pleasing to know. While @LastCatPost has a cunning plan to devise things for humans to waste their money on, for the comfort of us Superior Species. Purrfect...


It is always pleasing to find new recruits who are keen and eager and @Miss_kittypaws is certainly that! She has already highlighted that SPECTRE would be well worth attending the Cambridge Science week which begins this weekend. Not sure where Cambridge is, but no doubt our Geography division ( if we have one) will let me know - IF THEY CAN BE BOTHERED...


As always I leave the co-ordination to our trusty pub - @poringlandoak - and suggest if you are able - visit your local immediately and take advantage of the real ales  they sell.


Til tomorrow

Monday 12th 2012

Apologies for no comments yesterday - you should have seen the mess we had to clear up after that party. There were some very confused piranha to say the least. @wallewallewalle surpassed herself with the decorations - which was a relief after that disaster with the space shuttle!


As always -  the morning revealed the carnage of the night before. Fluffy Cheeks Corleone was found face down in the punch! AGAIN! @Sgt_Fang had an almighty hangover and was heard to shout "prawns" to anyone who would listen; whilst Chocolate Brown of the Foreign Office did a passable impersonation of the cat who found the cream - as the picture, below, shows.

We are grateful to @OlsenHalkier and the Danish branch  for taking the gold paint off our hands - though we do worry for the Piranha. Z and @battydash seem to be of the opinion that the paint will brighten them up a bit but I remain unconvinced that this will work in the long run.


Still no word from the @poringlandoak - which I will admit is a bit of a concern


Until next time,


Chief

Operation Weekend Saturday 10th

Day 2 


No word from our trusty pub - so the weekend must be going well


And from the sound of the squeals from the pond,  the compulsory pinata party is underway and all are having fun - or else!

Those of you following my FB page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rover-Blofel/263292643751215  will see that someone got carried away with setting it up. Still it makes a change from  parachutes! Remember to like the page to keep up with all the news and pictures.


@battydash reports that the road works on the way to south wales are severe, whilst @OlsenHalkier has been rewriting some of the lectures at UU to make sure they reflect SPECTRE's aims and mission statement. He has also taken the gold paint off our hands - something to do with camouflage for the Danish Piranha. Still @sgt_Fang is happy - it was cluttering his cellar up!


Negotiations progress steadily, with our allies - the Dragons - I shall keep you updated.


 @wallewallewalle bravely came forward to own up to ordering the decommissioned space shuttle - it appears that it is needed for some time travel experiments... We await with baited breath the outcome of her work


Til Later

Operation Weekend 9 -11th March 2012 - Friday Night

Here we go , #operationweekend strikes again. 


@Poringlandoak has a wide range of real ales - so get over to our trusty pub and sample its wares.


Here at HQ, it should be Stock Take weekend. But as those of you've who've been following us, this week know; our accounting department has found several Operatives taking matters into their own paws, claws and fins, with stock being ordered with abandon and a lack of paperwork. Consequently the accounts are all over the place, and I have no idea what we are going to do with a decommissioned Space Shuttle!!


In light of this, @wallewallewalle has been ordered to throw a Pinata party by the side of the Piranha tank. Attendance is compulsory - unless you are out on patrol or undercover at the pub.....


CHIEF

Memo - Thursday 8th March

May I remind Operatives that all orders must be verified by our Paymasters offices; with signatures received either from @sgt_fang  or @OlsenHalker. 

Ad hoc purchasing of GOLD PAINT and ANGRY SEA BASS, HOWEVER essential, must be properly accounted for...


Thanks

Musings Wednesday 7th March

Evening All,
 
It's not been quiet here at SPECTRE HQ, let me assure you. Even though it has been quiet on the blogging front. 


Our plumber's wife gave birth to twins on Monday night, which caused chaos as you just can't send ANY old replacement to a top secret base like ours. There are checks to be made, references to be taken up, et cetera, et cetera... 


Still, it's all sorted now and the piranha are safe in their tank - until the next Secret Agent comes along.


I had no idea the impact that my revelation that I am an alumni of The Unseen University would have on our Tree Division. I do hope @sofizy their intrepid leader, has got over his shock! And found his voice again.


Sometimes, however,  I really wonder how our Operatives think I got to be Chief Cat -  It's not all evil acts and extreme planning you know, Sometimes you really do need to work on the qualifications on your CV. Young Operatives take note.


Til next time,


Rover

From Number 1 - Monday Evening Update

You know it's going to be a bad day when one of your Operatives interrupts an important meeting to tell you there's a fake arm in the Piranha tank. It gets even worse, when immediately after you've demanded an answer from your followers on Twitter, you find that the damned archenemy autocorrect has decided to change your typing of "roll" to "role". 


Let me assure you Operatives, that whoever put the arm in the tank, will NOT be treading the boards of the RSC: unless it's as Hamlet's dead father - with the emphasis on DEAD!


Still, Zorro has finished collating all reports from Operation Weekend and it seems that a good time was had by all - bar a few. @battydash reconnoitered @FossebridgeInn and report that it is a place worthy of #SPECTRE's attention. And our pub @poringlandoak reports that the quiz, and real ales went down a treat. 


Alas, Operatives B&C of @callimund - were forced to abandon patrols because of snow; while @hutchinsondave proves that life undercover as a human, is not easy, as one disaster after another befell his weekend. First the lack of Nicotine, then the lack of Cheese and Onion Crisps. If our Dave were not made of sterner stuff, I feel that this CEO would be looking for another Cat to take on such vital work.


Till Next Time,


Rover

Monday 5th March memo from Number 1

If the Operative who placed the fake arm in the Piraña tank DOES NOT come forward IMMEDIATELY - heads will role!!!

Operation Weekend Day 3 Sunday

Well, as we are now into Sunday afternoon, we, here at SPECTRE, think we can safely say that Operation Weekend draws to a close for yet another week.


Reports are coming in of an intriguing enterprise from our Danish Operatives. Their failure to seize control via the X Faktor was - if we are being honest - DISAPPOINTING, but they have rallied round and plans are afoot  for a movie version of The Nutty Professor.


We await their news...


If any of you have further updates, let us know. We will blog later.


Current training film - Nanny McFee - an interesting concept - wonder how can we use it here at SPECTRE?

Operation Weekend Day 2


It's Saturday - and some of our plans have been thwarted whilst others continue a pace.  Attempts to win the Danish X Faktor were squashed by appalling backing vocals. Maybe next week - huh? We still have high hopes from the quiz and @Sgt_Fang must be asleep on the prawns, as we haven't heard anything from him for hours!!

Operative Z has worked his paws to the bone to get our facebook page up and running. Do search us out and enjoy the various views from our TOP SECRET base. Remember, it is vital to hit the like button!


Our Parks and Lakes Department, here at SPECTRE remain concerned about the state of the Pirana - we feel that they may be getting tired of their diet of Secret Agents! If anyone can suggest alternatives to this feeding regime, Operatives will be on hand to take your call. But beware: a duff suggestion not only offends, here at SPECTRE, but can lead to a loss of life.

Please forgive us for not blogging longer, ITV4 is showing one of the more entertaining  007 training films - Goldfinger

Operation Weekend

Ok Operatives, it's Friday Evening which means we hand over to @poringlandoak for the co-ordination of this, most vital part, of our plans for World Domination. 

After all, have you ever noticed that Humans really value these three nights more than any other? 

Yes, I didn't think it was just us!! 

Anyway, Operatives, across Europe and beyond, have many fantastic things planned this weekend. Take @Sgt_Fang - he plans to throw his humans out, and make them enjoy themselves. @OlsenHalkier plans to win Danish X-Faktor  - thus luring the humans into that wonderful creation - Reality TV: where nothing is real - or is it?  Agent Z - aims to get our Facebook Page up and running. He is to Spectre what Q is to the Arch Enemy 007.

Finally - our trusty pub: without whom none of this would be possible: has hired the talents of Mr Smooth Adey Diamond  - to ensure success at their saturday night quiz. We are confident that quiz, Adey Diamond and Real Ale will be the ingredients we need. 

But
