Crisps for 5 @ £1.79 each = £8.95

Lester really wished the anomaly response team would take packed lunches.

Probably not unreasonable given the circumstances, but that wouldn’t stop him sending an acid email to Danny on the subject of his driving skills.

**Splorfl!** If you remember the old MASH television show, Radar used to get some pretty interesting things by "nestling" them in the middle of a bunch of requisitions. Good for Becker. Keep on trying. Very funny.

[fredbassett]

I absolutely loved MASH and I had a bit of a crush on Radar.

heeeheeee Poor Lester. I suspect he sees a lot of these 'lists'. It was a nice try though boys.

[fredbassett]

Oh yes, I imagine Danny's attenpts at getting stuff are just as bad!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

bwaaa hahaha You keep trying, Becker!

[fredbassett]

He certainly will!

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

LOL! Great one!

[fredbassett]

Thanks !

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

LOL! Poor Lester is stuck with all of the team's expenses. And Becker tries to be sneaky by slipping a tank in there. ;) Love it!

[fredbassett]

*g* Thanks :)

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Nice try, Becker!

[fredbassett]

Always worth a try!

[goldarrow]

LOL It's a good thing Lester checks his paperwork carefully!

[fredbassett]

Oh yes!

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! Not quite the cunning plan Becker thought it might be!

[fredbassett]

Not quite *g*

[wanted-a-pony.livejournal.com]

Well, one must be thorough with expenses paperwork! I'm sure Lester appreciates that they won't get what they don't ask for.... ;-)

[fredbassett]

Oh yes, thorough is a virtue :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

LOL, great idea. Poor Becker, if he'd tried to slip it pass anyone but Lester...

[fredbassett]

Oh yes.

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

You've got to hand it to Becker, he's a persistent bugger :-D

[fredbassett]

He certainly is!

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

Becker needs to improve his subtlety. that way lies tanks. :)

superb drabble.

[fredbassett]

Thanks!

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Lol! Becker is such an optimist, bless him. And a sneaky one at that!

[fredbassett]

Ever an optimist!

[clea2011]

LOL! Good try Becker!

[fredbassett]

*g* Indeed!

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

ROFL! Becker really is turning into a cunning little so-and-so... *g*

[fredbassett]

He certainly is!

[cyber-moggy.livejournal.com]

LOL! Damned army needs to upgrade their equipment!

[fredbassett]

Certainly do!

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

LOL - whom of the six didn't want crisps? I'll have their share! *chomps*

Brill idea and execution ;)

And one of the others could have tried to get the tank past Lester - for their beloved Becker!

[fredbassett]

Here, have some crisps!

[fififolle]

LOL!!!! Brilliant :D

[fredbassett]

The perfect icon, naturally!

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee hee!

[fredbassett]

*g*

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Hee! Becker is nothing if not persistent.

[fredbassett]

He certainly is!

[stealingpennies.livejournal.com]

Ha! Adorable! I bet Accounts insist on receipts for everything. One day Becker is going to get that tank...

[fredbassett]

Oh yes, one day....

*sporfles*

Aaaawwww, sweet Becker, he had to try ^_^

[fredbassett]

Absolutely!

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

LOL! Have to try harder than that, Becker.

[fredbassett]

Next time!

[celeste9]

LOL!!! I like how the tank's stuffed in the middle, like perhaps Lester will overlook it. *g* I suspect poor Lester has learned all the tricks along the way!

[fredbassett]

*g* He is clearly ever hopeful!

[samparker.livejournal.com]

Really fun drabble.

[fredbassett]

Thank you!
