What Ho Biggles!

[id_ten_it]

There's been some discussion in the backwaters about the grand adventures of Jeeves and Wooster meeting the grand adventures of Biggles and Co. I hesitantly bring an initial chapter of this celebratory romp of English-ness to this comm, for robust discussion by other learned persons. It would be lovely to know what you chappies thought about it all

Thank you. This is a very nice piece of Woosterspeak.

Hope there's more coming down the jolly old pike.

I'm pleased you like it! phew!
I have most of the next chapter and the last written or drafted out but I'll wait until I have it completely finished before I post any more, just in case I need to change something. It is good fun writing like Plum (or at least, trying to).

This is peerrrfect! There's so many good things about it I don't know where to start.
Your imitation of the Wooster-speak is, as far as I can judge, very accurate. And the hit by the bus thing, that's just what would happen to him.
I hope the last three paragraphs will be explained a bit more in the next chapter, because I can't really see inside the Biggles-Algy(-Jeeves) telepathy :D

A question: Are they wearing uniforms? They should be, right?

I'm pleased you like it!! Consider it a repayment for my Christmas present =)
I do love reading Plum, so I'm pleased it sounds at least a little like him.
Hopefully it all makes sense once I put up the next bit. They're not wearing uniforms at the moment I shouldn't think - it's set around the air police timeline rather than anything else. Rationing went on for a long time in England after all (also my computer would struggle with all of these delightfully english specimens in uniform - it would overheat from hotness!)

So Merry Christmas!

Thanks :)

Oh, ok. Somehow I was under the impression that this was happening during the WWII. But we wouldn't want your computer frying itself, right :D

I'm pretty sure that my computer would actually burst into flames that would rival Ginger's hair by the time you have Jeeves, Wooster, Biggles and Co and a variety of side characters all parading around in uniform being...romantic.
Although that is an interesting plotbunny right there. Men in uniform looking good!
