it is almost 10 000 words long already, so could take a while to load

It suddenly dawned on Janet, the name of the pub "The improbability and Firkin",the pub was a hole in the space time continium and was causing all these strange happenings.

"Right everybody shut up" said Janet, "I've got an idea of why all this wierd stuff is happening here and I'm trying to think of a solution. And why hasn't anyone got the drinks in?"

"No time left now," complained Oddy, "we've that conference to get to."

The pals left the pub, and life returned to a version of normality.

In the distance they could see the Existensial Arts Centre where the conference was being held, the building shaped like Split Pea soup

With crouton shaped advertisments floating in the top.

"God it looks like something out of the Excorcist" said Oddy

Again X2 refrained from pointing out that Oddy should know nothing about said film.

Oddy had a secret past, he used to post on what earthlings called the IMDB website, he soon became the writer for a person called Barry Norman.

He would never admit this however, not even after drinking a whole pint.

The friends set off towards the Existential Art centre at a brisk run since they were already 10 minutes late for the meeting

Oddy had suggested using the flannel, but Janet pointed out that this would make people a little suspicious.

Oddy had suggested using the flannel, but Janet pointed out that this would make people a little suspicious.

But as they ran the building never seemed to get nearer, even as then increased speed. The hippophant was standing right behind them and cleared his throat.

"It's a lot easier to run without your shoelaces tied together", it pointed out.

"But stilletoes don't have laces" Janet Answered

"My comment was adressed at Raymond there. In your case, it's easier to run without stilletos"

"But how come we are still outside the Improbability and Firkin then" asked Janet whose face had a look that would make Satan make the sign of the cross
