Frederick Cotton lives in the old cotton mill down the lane. He lives up to his surname, making cotton, but does nothing unusual. In fact, short of owning a Most Unmemorable Man of Class 1978 certificate, he has barely any great results to show for his life.


Marshmallow Hotspring
 
Marshmallow Hotspring

Thinking that it might make her sound more appealing as an actress, Marshmallow (aka Jane) changed her name to the more exotic sounding Marshmallow Hotspring. Unfortunately, only a few directors wanted to hire her by her name, and none of them were for films she wanted. She changed her name back a year or two after and opened a florists instead.

Philomena Bay
 
Philomena Bay

would often frequent Marshmellow's florist shop, buying flowers for herself and having them delivered to her home in an attempt to get her neighbour to notice how popular she was and in turn ask her out.

Since her neighbour had moved in some six months earlier, Philomena has lost her heart to him. He was in her eyes handsome and charming but there were things about her neighbour that Philomena did not know off, things that were better left alone.........

Her neighbours name:

Kaiser Soza
 
Kaiser Soza

Adopted the name when he turned fifteen and left home. A heartbreaker at an early age, Kaiser (formerly Kevin) always liked to try his luck with the ladies, and became quite the gambler. Unfortunately, it didn't stop him from running into fight after fight with jealous husbands.

Ekaterina Karazov
 
Ekaterina Karazov

until recently Ekaterina (or Kat to her friends) had lived a life of relative happiness. Married with two children and a dog and a husband who adored her, Kat had it all, until that fateful day when she went to the casino with a few friends after dropping the children off at school.
It was there that Kat meet and felt under the spell of the charasmatic Kaiser Soza. She was charmed by his ways and promised to run away with him, making sure she took her credit cards with her. Leaving behind her two beautiful children and the faithful dog and of course her loving husband.

Bernard Karazov
 
Bernard Karazov

By no means a rich man, but a loving one, Bernard loved Ekaterina with all his heart. He worked day and night to make sure that she had everything she wanted, so naturally he was heartbroken when she left him. It very nearly drove him to drink, but he abstains, choosing to be strong for the children.

Stephen Adams
 
Stephen Adams

Always known as "Donkey" Adams, due to his admiration of his erstwhile namesake Tony Adams, the one time stalwart of the England defence in the days when the back four were keener on hacking down prancing Italian nancy-boy strikers than endorsing hair-care products.

"Donkey" works for the modest Northamptonshire Tourist Board and is noted for his contribution to a number of glossy publications designed to draw in the casual visitor, amongst them "Kettering - Shopping Centre of Valhalla", "The Weetabix Trail - recollections of Burton Latimer" and the seminal "Corby - it might not have a railway station but it's still nicer than Luton".

In his spare time, "Donkey" is the Grand Woffnut of the Most Venerable Order of Masonic Tosspots.

Alice at the Gate
 
Lol! Good one, Peter!:D

Alice at the Gate

Alice Jenkins became somewhat of a local legend in her town. Her lover went off to fight in the war, and she was so devoted to him that every day she would wait at the gate for him to return. Sadly, her lover never came back from the war - he was killed in action - but Alice never knew. Instead, she still waits at the gate for him to return, even though the war ended sixty years ago, and she herself died ten years ago.

Meryl Atkins
 
Meryl Atkins

"Daddy, why are British soldiers called "Tommies"?"

"Good question, young Lochinvar. It all comes from the Great War, when the name "Tommy Atkins" was used as a catch-all name to describe the archetype of the private soldier - a small, tough working-class braveheart, puffing away on a Woodbine and doing his bit for King and Country*. But what people don't recall is that Tommy Atkins had a wife - Meryl Atkins."

"What was she like, Daddy?"

"An English Rose. Red of cheek, gay in her mannerisms and possessed of healthy embonpoint. Not unlike that lovely Nigella Lawson whom Uncle Peter gets so excited about. But Meryl was not all she appeared. She was actually an alien life form akin to a succubus. She came from the Planet Hernia and lived by feasting silently on the spirit and pluck of the British male. Meryl is ultimately responsible for turning our once-proud countrymen into the pallid, slack-jawed, burger-munching drones of today."

"Gosh! So who is Nebless Clem Crosier?



* Some facts might actually be correct for a change
 
Nebless Clem Crosier

Nebless 'Clem' Crosier is an enigma. The name is the only thing in recorded history, although there are many folk stories about his legend. Some say that he was a soldier who fought in two wars and came back without one of hie legs, whilst others say that he was a notorious coward who hid away in a basement when the bombs hit. Some even say that he was a spy, working deep in enemy territory to obtain secrets for the allies. Some even think that Nebless is a woman. About the only thing people can agree on is the name.

Hazel Knut
 
Hazel Knut

knew the truth about Nebless Clem Crosier though. She knew all about his involvement in both wars. She had first meet him before all the rumors began at a dance hall. She played the piano and Nebless had started a conversation with her, admiring her piano playing talents. The had struck up a friendship which blossomed quickly into an affair of the heart.
She was at Nebless side when the doctor had been compelled to cut of "just one leg" and not two as rumors stated. She listened to all his rambellings as he fought the infection that ravaged his body. She listened and she learned................... She learned about:

Michelle & Michael Roubelland
 
Michelle & Michael Roubelland

Famous in the world of espionage, Michelle and Michael are a brother and sister team who have an incredibly good reputation for getting information. They are well known for their legendary exploits, although they leave no trace of ever being somewhere. It'snot even known if Michelle and Michael are their real names.

Elodie Lovatt
 
Elodie Lovatt


was one of the few people that knew Michelle & Michael Roubelland. She had been their teacher in the art of espionage and they had been very good students, her best infact. Then when she could teach them no more, they deserted her, but not just deserted her, they had made sure she was found guilty of a number of offences including treason. Elodie did not have the heart to fight her convictions but her lawyer did:

Rueben Randall 111
 
Rueben Randall III

Was once described by a colleague as a laconic hedgehog. Until his hairline began to recede and his first wife left him. The day the divorce was settled his eyes seemed to sigh with resignation and his shoulders surrendered their strength. He eased into torpitude and sloth, often found in the afternoons drinking slow cups of mint tea and staring into space where once he had been a site of turbulent activity. By the time I found out he was advising Jim on his tax arrangements he had become little more than a faceless sack of lard behind a mahogany desk.

Eric Diamond
 
Eric Diamond

A former darts player, Eric now runs his own pub somewhere in Yorkshire. A jovial character who likes drinking his beer as much as serving it, Eric has had his fair share of problems in his time, but he's overcome them all. However, on the night of the storm, all that changed.

Naomi Ohara
 
Naomi Ohara

just her name tormented men's minds.She made it her business to get to know Eric Diamond. To bewitch him. To have him fall for her charms. Naomi's whole life was centred around herself and making life easier for her. She wanted a man who would provide a comfortable life.

The night of the storm, she dressed with great care. Her skirt just a little to short, her top just a little to low. She planned to extract a marriage proposal out of Eric. As the storm ragged she checked her makeup and hair in the mirror and then departed to the pub.

Walking out of her apartment she was confronted by

Thaddie Owens

A builder by trade, Thaddie (born Thaddeus) has big dreams. Even whilst he's on site, building homes, he's thinking about the day he'll make it big and become famous as a singer. Sadly, Thaddie lacks self-confidence, and as such he won't enter talent contests for fear of failure, so he sings to himself, hoping that some passing talent scout will hear him. His old girlfriend tells him to be more confident, but he knows it's not as easy as that. So he continues to dream, singing softly as he works.

Arabella Langford
 
Arabella Langford

A simple young woman with a dream to succeed one day, she has never had a friend. She's the young woman in the corner of the room, her hood casting a shadow across her face her long dark hair hanging in front of her eyes. She sits quietly and reads books, but when she is alone she dances, despite her dreary existence she dances like she were the happiest person in the world.
