Missing: PabloMansini

Missing Clan member causes Consternation among Colleagues

Today, we've learned that a young clan member, who goes by the online name (or handle, for all you Convoy-loving CB radio types) of 'PabloMansini' has gone missing from the pages and chat of his clan site.

Last seen on 31st December 1963 (well before online forums were created...), Pablo's disappearance has been traumatic to say the least for his other clan mates. One clan member, who likes to be called 'Plugpin' was very emotional, saying '...and he owes me money as well'. Although the financial affairs of Mr Mansini could not be verified it has been confirmed that Scotland Yard have now got involved in the case and are taking the situation very seriously.

"Yes, we are aware of the continued disappearance of Mr Mansini, and would urge anyone who has seen him, either online, or in real life to contact us, or his clan site, immediately', said Inspector David Sheppingley-Jodhpur of the Met.


We also had the chance to follow the Inspector for a while during his investigations, which, although fruitless in the end, ultimately show that all that could be done is being done. Indeed, the Inspector has taken the bold move of putting Mr Pablo Mansini's face on a milk carton, in order to raise awareness of the missing clan member. "It almost didn't even happen," warned Sheppingley-Jodhpur cautiously, " when the first carton came off the production line, it said 'Milf', not 'Milk' - not the kind of audience we're appealing to at all'





At the end of our 'shift' with the Inspector we took the time to ask him a few questions whilst he was out on the street looking for Mr Mansini.





Reporter: "So are those leaflets asking for information on PabloMansini"
Sheppingley-Jodhpur: "Yes, I also distribute leaflets for the local takeaway, of an evening, it also ties well with the paper round I do."
Reporter: "You're not a real detective are you?"
Sheppingley-Jodhpur: "Yes.... yes I am, who dare you insinuate otherwise!"
Reporter: "Well, erm,  then why are you dressed like a tramp?"
Sheppingley-Jodhpur: "It keeps the Munters away"
Reporter: "Oh... ok, we'd, erm, better let you get on with finding Mr Mansini...."
Sheppingley-Jodhpur: "Thanks"


Inspector David Sheppingley-Jodhpur, yesterday

  1. Gave 1-800-VLR a ring and to my surprise a young-ish sounding lady answered the phone and asked if I wanted to "Get off in 60 seconds".

    May I ask what sort of hotline is this?

    .........Ejay?

  2. That was no lady, that was our receptionist Lloyd Moneypenny. (S)he's a bit 'confused' as to what his/her purpose is as a receptionist. I think we should have stuck to our original choice of Barry, carriage no. 1 of the Man Train. He had shown great aptitude and initiative.
