Be stuck on the wrong side of the lines in WWI with a getting-over-Marie-drinking-whiskey-for-breakfast Biggles?Get hopelessly lost in the jungle with Ginger?I'd probably go for WWI Biggles. It wouldn't be easy getting back to safety, but at least I might be able to thump some sense in Biggles' head. It's much better than getting lost with Ginger, who apart from having the worst sense of direction ever, also has the worst luck ever. If there's something in that jungle that eats people, you can be sure that Ginger will find it and somehow annoy it, and then we'd both have to run for our lives...only to run into the other thing in the jungle that eats people....

I suppose being lost in the jungle with Bertie isn't an option? No? Then I'd have to settle for being the wrong side of the lines with a messed-up Biggles. Has to be better than wandering around endlessly with Ginger, definitely!
ReplyDeleteTalk about been stuck between a rock and a hard place....!
ReplyDeleteWarily I think I'd choose Ginger and the jungle.
At that point in his life Biggles' compass was set firmly looking for trouble - at least Ginger would be trying to dodge all those crocodiles, lions, giant-man-eating-centipedes...even if he didn't always succeed.....
And with a bit of luck Algy might come looking for us with the Amphibian... ;)
I'd pick Ginger. On the rare occasions when he has been lost in the jungle the worst he suffered was a few insect bites.
ReplyDeleteHere's a challenge for everyone - name the times Ginger got lost when his health wasn't impared or there weren't changing weather/geographic conditions. I think you'll find his reputation for having a poor sense of direction is undeserved!
I'd choose Biggles, to keep an eye on him till Algy caught up with us with the 'rescue flight'.
ReplyDeleteOff the top of my head, didn't Ginger get lost in Defends the Desert and Biggles found him laughing crazily just a pace or two from his own plane?
ReplyDeleteHe was suffering from heat exhaustion in that one. He was stupid not to take a water bottle with him, but you can't put that incident of him getting lost down to a poor sense of direction.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't just stupid not to take the water bottle--as Biggles points out, it was also against orders (trust Biggles to bring that up when someone is half dead...)
ReplyDeleteGoing to try and find some more examples of Ginger getting lost :)
