By the way, I'm going to the movies tonight - off to see The Bucket List - it looks pretty good; wanna come? We could sit in the back row for a bit of nooky yeah?

Dear Prime Minister

May I remind you that if it weren't for Torchwood, alien activity would run amok in Cardiff. So I don't believe shutting us down is a good solution to the financial situation, do you? Imagine the cost of trying to control alien forces with inexperienced personnel at the helm. What would you do? Send in the armed forces to blunder in and create additional chaos?

And I think not allowing a budget for technology is short sighted to say the least. Without upgraded computer systems, up to date communications, and the latest you beaut gizmos, we can't operate effectively and do what we do best.

Regarding the 1379 Pound 16p that has been billed, we wish to advise that we have had to entertain a number of government dignitaries over the last 12 months - these "meetings" were held so we could justify our financial position to them, and to ensure we could continue to qualify for future government support, so we feel quite within our rights to now claim back costs for entertainment expenses.

For your information, our Ianto Jones will be completing the grant funding forms (for review) and submitting them within the next week.

Prime Minister, any time you would like to visit our "neck of the woods" to see what we actually do in a day, feel free to drop in. You will quickly realise just how important Torchwood is to Cardiff, the UK, and the entire world for that matter.

Yours sincerely
Captain Jack Harkness

Jack,

How lovely of you to shout breakfast for us. :) Thank goodness I only had time for a quick cup of tea before I came in. I take it then that you had a very good night?

If the Prime Minister doesn't relent on the technology budget, I still think Owen should be prostituted out. How am I supposed to work with out-dated equipment? I don't ask for much. My systems are long overdue for an upgrade.

I think I can smell breakfast already.

See you soon.

Ok who is the culprit? Some of my cds are missing - predominantly the show tune ones, but a Celine Dion one as well which is a personal fave.

C'mon kids, fess up!

If you want a loan, just ask next time. You know that I will know if any are missing, because they are all alphabetised.

Jack, while I can't answer to the whereabouts of all your cds, I can inform you that we (Ianto, Gwen, Owen and myself) made a collective agreement to confiscate the Celine Dion one. We know that you are a big fan of hers, but the rest of us are not. Once through is bad enough, but to put it on repeat for an entire day? That was torture. I'd rather listen to an Owen/Janet duet. I'm not sure who actually took the cd, but it's safe to say that it won't be around any time soon.

Breakfast was just lovely, thank you very much!

Further to my earlier email regarding my cds, there is a rumour going around that my Celine Dion cd has been confiscated, due to excessive play time.

If the said cd is returned, there will be no backlash. But, if it isn't returned in the foreseeable future, there will be a penalty to pay for such a hideous act of theft. Celine is my fave and you all should've known better.

Kids I just shouted you a great breakfast so if karma is kind to me I should get my Celine cd returned very soon.

Tosh just stuck her head into the archives looking for me, so I thought I should let you know that I'm catching up on some filing. Since I've been going out with the team I've fallen behind so I've been using my free time to fix things up. Gwen has a tendency to put things back in the wrong place.

Thank you for breakfast this morning. I really could not be bothered having to arrange everyone’s food. You really did wear me out last night. I must ask - is it possible to wear you out? I'm beginning to run out of ideas on how to do it. I really thought I had you last night, but given your energy this morning it would appear I was wrong.

I've also finished the forms for the Prime Minister and will drop them into his office this afternoon. I think his receptionist and a couple of the other staff might have a thing for me, so I am sure they will be accepted without incident.

I have ordered the Easter Eggs, and will pick them up tonight. I will be sure to place them somewhere where Owen won't be able to find them this year, and where Myfanwy won't get into them. The vault should do it, I think. And there is no way I am wearing that bunny outfit this year. I still am yet to work out how you convinced me to wear it last year.

And on a final note - you buy that Celine Dion CD and there will be no sex for a month. And that's a promise.

Tosh, do you remember that ridiculous bunny outfit Jack made me wear last year? He just asked me to wear it again. And here I thought he wouldn't go so low, given my reaction last year. So, since you won our bet I'll take you out to dinner as promised. You pick the place, and don't worry about the price.

Also, I just found that file you were looking for yesterday. It had been put back in the wrong place, as I had expected. I will leave it on your desk when I make the next coffee round.

Nice work with the Jubilee Pizza order. If you need any assistance, let me know. And I might grab a couple of those spare earplugs. You never know when you need them.

Filing hey, is that what you call it? I'm sure you've been snoozing down there my friend.

I'm afraid I have to inform you that you should give up trying to wear me out. It just isn't going to happen. So don't worry your pretty head about it - just enjoy the ride! Sorry if I wear you out (well I'm not really as it is a lot of fun).

Thank you for completing those forms for the PM - at least that will get them off our back for awhile. I'm sure the staff there do "have a thing" for you; I personally know all about your attributes and they are missing out I must say.

Yes please ensure that Owen (and Myfanwy) don't get their mits (or beak) on those Easter eggs. Oh c'mon hun, I want to see that bunny outfit again - of course, we could do a private viewing  ;)

Um, with regards to Celine baby, as long as I don't play it in your presence, can we review the no sex policy?

So, I finally got around to fixing the headlight and noticed a couple of things:

Firstly, it would appear that someone left the lights on as now the battery is flat. I am currently recharging it so no one can use the SUV for the next few hours.

Secondly, there is a sizable scrape along the left rear passenger door that was not there two days ago.

Third, would someone care to explain to me how a piece of fish ended up in the rear compartment.

Fourth, has anyone misplace a g-string recently.

Fifth, Owen, put the knob back on the gear shift. It is not funny.

Sixth, Jack, stop eating in the car! I'm tired of having to clean the jam off the steering wheel.

Seventh, please tell me the white stain on the back seat is more food and/or drink.

Eight, when it runs low on fuel, fill it up. It's rather awkward having to have the SUV towed through Cardiff. We have enough people talking as it is.

Well, that's what I've noticed so far. I am sure that I will discover more things as I continue to inspect the SUV. Might I remind you that it is vital that the SUV is in peak working condition in case of an emergency, and it takes everyone looking after it to keep it that way.

Thank you.

Yes, filing. I do work you know, unlike some other people whose names I shall not mention.

You do realise that I do enjoy a challenge, and I am sure that I will discover your secret one of these days. And I do believe it was you who had the 'ride' last night. At least at some stages.

There will be no bunny outfit, and if I even see the Celine Dion CD, no sex. Period.

Noted re the jam - I promise never to do it again! Well, that is, I hope I remember not to do it again. I'll try anyway.

Mmmm, the white stain on the back seat, well let me put it this way, it isn't food or drink

I'll try to behave in future, and I'll consider myself chastised. Is there a possible punishment that you have in mind for me?

And by the way, are you coming to that movie with me tonight?

I am sure I can come up with a form of punishment. I think I will start with 'no coffee for two hours, no sex for four'. And I might come see that movie with you. I have been meaning to see that one.

Ianto,

I think the g-string might be mine. However, it's NOT what you might think. It's probably from the other morning when I was running late for work. I wore the same jeans that I had the day before. I should have checked them before I put them on, because as I was hurrying along the pavement, my g-string fell out of the bottom of my jeans. I was absolutely mortified. I snatched them up and put them in my handbag. We got that weevil call straight away so I never had the chance to put my bag away. Since Jack was driving, they must have fallen out along with half the contents of my bag, as we swerved around corners. I obviously missed them when I gathered everything else up.

Hey kiddies,

Well I'm hitting the shower and getting ready to go out, so I'm pretty well not available for most of the evening  :)

So behave yourselves and don't get up to too much mischief without me.

Have a good night.

Jack

(and I hope this time that "all hell doesn't break loose" like the last time I was absent  Roll Eyes)

Okay, I'm all set to go. I'm taking my PDA with me just in case we're needed. Things usually tend to fall apart when we're both out.

I'm all set for the eggs, and I will just send Tosh an email about the g-string. I did find another one, just not in the SUV...

Tosh, I did manage to find another g-string. I found it just inside the door of the garage, so I'm assuming you dropped it then.

In regards to that dinner I owe, how does tomorrow night sound? Unless of course you have other arrangements. And I'll pass on the food. I'm Jack's 'hot date' after all.

Ianto

P.S. Jack did offer to wear that bunny suit, but I threatened to take away one of his life loves if he even tried it.

I'm sorry but he's refused to drink the coffee. Do you have any other suggestions? If Gwen were here, we could probably stun him and lock him up in a cell. It's just not something I can do by myself. I can stun him okay, but he's too heavy for me to drag.
