During the war, BOF found an incendiary bomb like the one he is holding at left in his garden. He hid it under his bed - which was not a good idea as they are packed with deadly White Phosphorous! |
| During the evening there were air raids and poison gas attacks - the latter generated by Calculator Kid's intestines. When the siren sounded everyone had to dive under the table and put on their gas mask. | |||

| Someone couldn't stop eating even during an air raid. Who was it? | Of Course! It had to be H5N1 didn't it! | BOF goes through a time warp and uses a Cyberman mask. | Thank goodness there was a nurse on hand to treat casualties! |

| The games included Bum Bombing, Bomber Command and Pass the Parcel. | |||

H5N1 shows her
expertise with the Hula Hoop. BOF's Boring Fact Number 689. H5N1's favourite expression "Yer Numpty!" started as a Scottish football crowd insult shouted as "Awww Jimmy you f***ing numpty!! You couldnae score wi' ma' sister!" |
