My Uncle's Ring
My uncle, let's call him B, was always going on with stories about stuff he used to get up to back in the day.

At one point he worked as a freelance security consultant for a small company known as the Oakenshield Partnership. Anyway B spent quite some time away from home somewhere over east, and by all his accounts he got into some quite hairy adventures - he keeps threatening to write a book about it, but it's all so far fetched I can't imagine anyone would want to read it, especially as he's considering the rivetting title of "There and Back Again".

While he was away he found a plain gold ring, although he is a little hazy as to how he came by it. I have to say that it has to be the jammiest find I've heard of.

He's now getting on a bit and decided to retire, moving to stay with some old friends, and he kindly gave me the ring as a parting gift.

Anyway I must go, as a old mate of B's is about to drop by for tea - he said he had some info on the providence of the ring, which could be interesting, and I haven't seen him for years so it'll be good to catch up.

I'll let you know if it turns out to be worth anything.

When you said
You're uncles ring, I expected it to be about his ringpiece.

Anyone remember Reverend Ramsden's Ringpiece Cathedral from Viz BTW?

That's My Other Uncle
And how he kept his watch safe while he was a POW in Vietnam...

Nice try
..but if you'd left out the book title I wouldn't have got it until the 3rd paragraph.

yargh
that bit gave it away. Didn't pick up on Oakenshield until after. Not sure I'm ashamed of that though.
Nicely done anyway.
