Yes, the unfortunate therapist Dr. Darryl is back, and this time he's dealing with a witchfinder sergeant (formerly retired) with a one track mind. Companion ficlet to

missed out a 'long' there in the 'wouldn't be...before Lucifer...'
I love this series of stories! Each one gets funnier and more creative! And Shadwell gets such little love.
Darryl swallowed. “Cursed you?” he said in a small nervous voice.
“Aye, with an ASBO. A terrible thing it is. I cannae even go to the butchers without her sending her infernal minions after me.”
“Infernal minions? Oh you mean the police.”
I think that section says a lot about modern England's justice system!

Whoops, thanks for pointing out.

Hehehe, I just couldn't resist the idea of Shadwell falling foul of the legal system and getting ASBOed. Though I'm sure that the community is very glad that he got a rehabilitation order rather than community service (one can only imagine the chaos that would ensue if he were made to help out at a shelter for the homeless or local library or suchlike).

Will the trauma inflicted upon Darryl at the hands of various GO characters never end? (I suspect that the answer to this might just be 'not until he's met them all'). As for the Furby, I can just imagine Shadwell looking through something like the Toys R Us catalogue and fuming at all of the clearly possessed toys.

...and what's a boiled sweet? I always thought Roald Dahl just made it up...

I was originally going to stop at Dr. Darryl's appointment with Famine and Pollution, but something tells me that I'm going to end up inflicting most of the GO cast on the poor man.

It'd be a service to the community. Ours, not his. :P
