Coely, it is the drinking arm as it happens. Thanx for the loan of the straw Isn't drinking through a straw supposed to make you drunk faster?

*drinking through the straw*
I heard that 'get drunk faster' thing as a young fish. Anyone know if it's true? I need the straw, cos fins are hopeless for holding bottles.
*continues to drink like a fish*
Dr J, did you bring the cushion with you from the other bus? (BTW you sent cloughie back to the casino!)

Oops!! and yes I've still got the cushion.

*plumps up the cushion and brings Dr J Lucozade in a large bottle with the orange rustly wrapping*

Can I have something slightly stronger mixed with Lucozade? *Sips from straw * Oh, I see it already has. Cheers, Coely!
(Got to go and get ready to take the girls out. BBS)

Hope they are kind to Uncle John.

They're being v. good
I reproduce my answer to Irving at the Aroma Cafe:

*Mornin', Irv. I've got two of my nieces staying over the weekend and when they get up I get
up. I think it's compulsory; anyway, I don't my computer trashed! I've told them I'm doing
some work which is making me feel slightly guilty because Jenny, the elder of the pair, has
decided to bring my breakfast to my desk. *

Now, I've really got to go. BFN

*Gwennie appears in a flash of black smoke and emerges coughing and spluttering, covered in black soot*

I'll have to find a cleaner, more ozone friendly spell from somewhere!

Hi chaps! I bet you thought you'd give me the slip, hey?

*Brushes off soot and takes a seat next to Mari-Rae, reads her sweatshirt and hits Mari-Rae with her rhythm stick* (A mini tribute to the late Ian Dury).

Have a fun time Dr. J.

*Gives Dr. J's wrist a playful (but gentle) tap*

I'd try to give the cricket a miss for a couple of weeks, if I were you. Besides, the weather's not really cricket friendly at present....

BTW Dr, J, as you asked, it was our 11th anniversary

Gwennie, glad you made it. We've all been drinking from God's bottle. It's called Rasputin's Chemical Mindrotter. That's exactly what it does.

Hi Gwennie and alicat! Anyone got any food to go with the drink?

I have some bagels and cream cheese, but I'm afraid it will funk up your tank. What would you like, Coely?

Hi y'all, I think I finally made the right bus!!

Just throw bits of the food up in the air and I'll do fancy tricks like leaping up out of the water! I'll eat anything you have, although perhaps I've had rather a lot of Belgian chocolate this week, so help yourself from the box under the tank.
Hi cloughie, glad you found it at last. Have a choccy.

You're on the right bus. We're on our way to Mari-rae's farm. She's got horses! *alicat flings bits of bagel over coely's tank. The amazing fish does one acrobatic leap after another. All thoughts of Marineland disappear* You've got no competition from those whales and dolphins.

Thanks C,(may I call you Coely?, Coelecanth takes me too long to type!) Also, I have to keep checking the spelling!!LOL

I've got some nice crispy cheese (bread) sticks if anyone's interested.

Have to keep checking the spelling myself as it happens!
Move along the bus a bit. DNA is on line, and I would love it if he joined us. He rarely posts, but he must read a lot, so greetings Douglas. Have a choccy.

he is probably to scared to post LOL!!! i imagine that our insanity could be contagious and he doesn't want to get to close ....
pass me one of those bagels, i am starving
hey Kheldar, what are you doing over there???
monsy

Is he really here?, is he 'the man', or what(who?)? He is a sometime hero of mine!!

It's Ok you can all spread out now. He was only on line for a little while anyway.
Can anyone tell me where we are? My tank windows are steamed up. Is Vegas near?

*Grabs the sleeve of Mari-Rae's nice white sweatshirt and uses it to demist Coely's tank*

There you go Coely my dear! Now you can see where we're going...

*Gazes over the top of Coely's tank*

It's a wee bit misty all over so I don't think you'll be any better off anyhow!
