h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It'd be a bit like those perception games - where does it stop becoming a ginger cake with whisky and start becoming a whisky cake with ginger?

I'd eat either, though

*teleports in from the space station with Big C, dries the tea and honey out of his hair with a towel he finds and begins his campaign to get more people to come visit the space station* Hi...um well sorry for my appearance, you see up in the labs on the space station there have been some funny goings-on...just trust me. I wish that you all could find time to visit it in you travelings, it actually quite entertaining. Thanks. *puts the towel back, then decides he's better off keeping it* You don't mind do you....? Thanks. *Teleports back to the space station*

You know, subtlety definitely doesn't work. Barkeep, DRINK!

*dons badge saying 'Barkeeper' and starts serving*

Here you go.

Cheers!

Late, isn't it?

It is.
So, everyone, there's a etc with your name on it. You know who you are. You know what you drink - so enjoy!

So, found you all at last. Thought I'd come back to the F&F rather than hang around the Beer Tent today, it's a bit chilly outside . I see Bluebottle has set me up a of Grumpfuttocks, thanks BB .

*Peering in tentatively...*

Hmmm... seems like a nice place. Anyone suggest what ale is drinking well today? I feel like a pint or tw

Here at the F&F it all drinks well, and *no* hangover, with the possible exception of Health Warning . Regular brews: Grumpfuttocks - a fine session ale, Drumroll - a premium bitter, Fuel - a seriously dangerous brew, the only known antidote is Leuf cake, and Health Warning - there is no known antidote. If there is anything else your little heart desires (by way of fine ales) ask and it shall be given .

No hangover? You promise? Well, given some forecasted over-consumption later on maybe I'll try this session ale... are you manning the pump?

He usually does at Lunchtime
Hi Morgan!

*takes that BB so thoughtfully poured for her earlier*

Hello, Joanna. How's Durham today?

*Wondering where the barman's got to... he's usually pretty swift with the beer *

*Goes behind bar and pulls Morgan a *
*wonders if he'll get two...*

Durham's fine okay if cloudy... clouds are good though, I have a theory that they deter tourists, which would be good as I need to shop... CU l8r...

Hi Joanna, there you go Morgan my old, one of Grumpfuttocks.

Ah yes. I used to hate the tourists during my three years in the Dun Cow annex to H/B They used to clog up the bar something dreadful...

Hah. As Joanna suspected I now have two. Hot diggity damn I'll just have to be brave... many thanks indeed to you both.

*Taking the top inch of both...*

Having a good day, Slider my friend?

Ah ha, I see you are the recipient of the famous F&F symlpost double so what's up Morgan old bean?

Apart from a bad attack of symlpost I'm fine .

*Lowering the level another inch or so...*

Excellent. Pretty tedious here today... I'm still recovering from the weekend. We decided to take a healthful walk through the city's fine architectural heritage. Via the Trip, the Running Horse, the Red Lion and the Vat & Fiddle. The sort of walk I know you enjoy...

Indeed, my friend, I am looking forward to a similar bout of healthy exercise in your company the weekend after next . As you know, my week-end was spent in the company of a small mutual friend of ours, and her parents. As a result I fear I am in danger of being the subject of some incriminating photo's, my reputation in tatters forever. OK, so I held the reins when we went to the park, OK, so I pushed her when she was on the swings, it's not like I went completely gooey or anything.
