*takes over one room of the F&F, rips down the Xmas decorations and sticks posters which read "NON-CHRISTMAS PARTY, YULETIDE FESTIVITIES STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, ALL WELCOME" on the wall*
*places dishes of black and white sweets on the bar*

Wow, look at this place. Isn't that a photo of Ena Sharples, hairnet akimbo, over the bar?
The dour furniture, the cobwebs in the corners. And black and white sweets on the bar. I'll have a bar humbug while I take in the atmosphere.

Looks more like a gas oven to me, Vestie.

Oh, I'm sure there'll be more along in due course as word of this place gets around, Footbacon.

There you go.
Ah, it's just like old times being back in the F&F! I do like a pint of the virtual stuff. It doesn't give you a

Confused food, anyone?

Confused punters, anyone?
Not that I'm complaining, mind. 
Are you sure that's not C*****mas cake?

If it is we'll just whip off the icing and call it a Dundee cake
Incidentally Dr V, since all things *mas are banned from this place (and good thing too), shouldn't you be doing something about your tagline? Looks like a pantomime reference to me, and pantomimes are almost exclusively *mas things aren't they?
And since it's just about the cocktail hour, I believe I'll have a Manhattan (A1061380 will help you out if you're unsure as to the recipe).

Dr E Vibenstein (You know it is, it really is.) Posted Dec 17, 2003
*studies A1061380 carefully, and eventually produces something almost, but not quite, exactly unlike a Manhattan*
It might not be a pantomime reference... I might just be an argumentative
