Important Announcement
My fellow bloggers, it is with heavy heart and great sadness that I must bring you the following news. At 09:00 Zulu on the 28th of June 2008 the Strategic Sock Command moved to SockCon 4 as 6 fully folded, live socks were taken from secure storage and transported to North Norfolk. A pair of active duty socks were sent as escort.
At 21:45 Zulu on the 1st of July 2008 the spent socks, along with others, were loaded into the reprosessing facility to clean them prior to refolding. Due to confusion mixing socks from local containment and from the travel containment normal protocol was not followed and the socks were not counted into the facility. at 23:00 Zulu the socks were removed from the reprocessing facility and taken to be dried in the airing facility. At this point it was noticed that a MkII ‘grey’ sock was missing. SSC immediately moved to SockCon 3 and a full scale local search was undertaken.
The search was called off at 23:20 with the missing sock still unaccounted for. SSC has now advanced to SockCon 2 and a ‘broken arrow’ situation has been declared. It is hoped that the missing sock is still in Norfolk and will be located later this week, however, if it is not found by Saturday there will be no choice but to move to SockCon 1.
I must remind everyone that this outcome is by no means certain and we should not panic. I urge that everyone stay calm and continue to go about their day to day lives. In the mean time I ask that you keep communication channels between Colchester and Cromer clear. May whatever deity you beleive in have mercy on our souls.
Thank you for your time.
Odd
Since CNN and the BBC have not been able to get reporters parachuted in to the front lines in order to update us I will remain tuned to the blog in order to recive up to the minute news flashes on the current state of the search.
Does the sock have any distinguishing features to aid with identification, or will we be relying on DNA / dental records to verify a match??
Black sock, gray heal and toe, from M&S.
I trust you have alerted CinC Norfolk Strategic Operational Command (NoSOC).
I shall be returning to NoSOC Saturday. The outcome of the inspection there could decide the fate of the free world.
I dont want to cause any alarm or despond, but your sock may not be in Norfolk any more. I believe I saw a number of socks matching the description you’ve given at the M&S in Canary Wharf. Is there any possibility it may have wanted to link up with other socks, perhaps to plan their take over of the free world, or at least the sock drawer regions of it?
It’s a standard issue black sock with gray flashing so you’ll see them all over. ‘Pinky’, the sock planning to take over the world, is black with pink/purple. I have him safe
you’re an idiot
a likeable idiot, but an idiot non the less. x
I’m sure I’ve been called that before
