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

I am exhausted of the school holidays. My kids refuse to go out as they say it's too cold there and they want to eat all the time (at least it seems so). Good to know they will be at school from the next monday.

yes but its not long to easter break (and what ever happenned to five term semester)well it is post 42

I am not sure when the easter holiday will be but it'll be almost 3 months away for sure. Usually we have it on the last week of March.

Wow! It's been a long time since the café had so many visitors!

Soo... I think I'll just repeat the 1st posting in this thread as an introduction to those of you who are new to this place:



*The Deep Purple sofa is still residing in front of the fire place*

*The IIEM (the Infinite Improbability Espresso Machine) has learnt how to talk, and if you ask it nicely it'll serve you any hot or cold, caffinated, decaffinated, or anti- caffinated drink of your choice - as long as it doesn't contain alcohol....

The pianola in the corner is now covered by a thin layer (very thin, so as not to alert the cleaning bot!) of dust

On the counter you'll find a tray of freshly baked and still warm saffron buns.

You might occasionally catch a glimpse of something blue in the rafters - that'd be Ook the blue orangutang who is, I'm sure, happy to beat you in scrabbles any day!

A note from the proprietor, Irving Washington:
No smoking inside, please, unless you are fitted with a Personal Patio Bubble (PPB).



IIEM, I'll have a c(_) of Rooibos tea, please!

Mmm... That smells good!

IIEM, I'll have the same with orange flowers.

[Mog] Oh dear ... Lots of backlog! I ought to check this place more often!

At least we can keep the fire going.

*comes running in*

Goodness me how did I miss the new thread?

And look at these peeps, we shall have to expand!

IIEM a hot with lots of cream on top please.

See what I have!

Well the Panto was fun, very traditional, Aladin with all the trimmings.

The Widow Twankey was suitably grotesque, (and had a great pair of gold doc martens, and another great pair of purple wellies), Wishy-Washy was suitibly idiotic, we all hissed Abaneezer in the traditional manner. All the routines were there, loads of 'Oh yes it is' 'Oh no its not' and 'its behind you'. I had forgotten about singing the song with the words coming down from the roof on a sheet. Oh, and the pantomime horse was a camel. The only non-trad element was that the principal boy actually was a boy.

The Stepson enjoyed it, experiencing horror, embarrasment, and an overload of bad taste in turns.

Poor innocent child.

A.

thats holywood for you "peter pan" night

the leading male played by a boy? that just won't do. I'm glad he enjoyed it though


All set for Cadbury world tomorrow...

Yep!

Looks like the block has unblocked. This one scratched at the back of my mind on the A40, and when I pulled into a layby in North Oxford, this is what I got.

[Mog] Well ... was Peter Pan /good/?

Dunno.

I went to Aladin.

Ben, was Widow Twanky as good a dame as Pansy Ffing?

IIEM, a Columbian for me, I have had a rather large brekkie this morning and my arteries need Dyno rodding!

*admires Hati's FTTF mug*

I have done nothing but today. Good start for the weekend.

IIEM, now I need to wake up so Mog's Usual is what I'm going to have, if you don't mind.

Arteries, who needs them.. ok well we all do. Unless I'm immortal. I think I might be you know.

I feel more like a , with 9 lives.

[Mog] I feel like a moogle.
