*Ishtar and Baldrick appear, pushing a heavily laden trolley. On it the guests can see:

a large sherry trifle...a vegan carrot cake...a delicious looking bowl of fresh fruit salad....a couple of hot homemade apple pies....a large lump of stilton....a nice runny brie and a huge hunk of extra mature cheddar.....a platter of black and green grapes.....a jug of celery.......and a large selection of assorted biscuits....butter...vegan spread....and a slab of 'blow me I'd never have guessed that wasn't butter'..... *

smiley - fish

*Peers suspiciously at the chocolate hundreds and thousands on the top of her cake and glares suspiciously at Baldrick*

I think I'll have a drink first. *Locates Coely and produces a very long stray from her handbag* smiley - winkeye

Ooohh, I say, Gar - con. We seem to have lost a lot of the male guests somewhere. Dr E V is here for the trifle, but have the others slumped under the table? Dr John has not been seen since he took up with a penguin, and Babel-17 stomped off clutching his furry purse, muttering about having to powder something.
Or have they all retired somewhere for port and cigars?
