Malcolm and CorFest10

The boss, said no more Malcolm the Gingerbread Man. Apparently unless he was giving proper Coastguard Safety advice he wasn’t needed; he was given his P45 and booted out, all alone in the driving rain, one cold night.

But since he was banned from the blog and mercilessly booted out by the boss we have been inundated with requests to see him again. (....Well to be fair two people have asked). In fact I have it on good authority that he was requested to make a personal appearance at CorFest10 over the next ten days or so.





Sounds like Festival Fun over at Corfe!


So, anyway the boss says I can do one last story about Malcolm


Above:- Malcolm the Gingerbread Man before the boss gave him the boot.


Above:- In happier days (Still don't know why he wore that necklace but he was a good team player).

Sadly the story involves Wilf the dog who only came to the station and ate Malcolm the Gingerbread man! Wilf you doggy rotter...! I think secretly the boss will be glad that the gingerbread man is a gonna as it was getting too much attention.







After further investigation it appears Deputy Boss Austen 'the Hitman' Rockett was tasked by the boss to ensure Malcolm 'disappeared'. They cooked up their evil plan over cheese and biscuits down at the Ocean Bay one evening and decided to make it look like an accident.



....and that's why Malcolm the Gingerbread man won't be at CorFest10 this year.

Being the boss, sometimes you have to make tough decisions and sometimes they are not always correct. I clearly under estimated the public would want a gingerbread "person"!

We love Malcolm, he may have gone but can be easily replaced (like most men)
