Hello to you to and thank you very much.
*pats beard reassuringly*
How are you today?

>Ook peers at Mr. Smith from the opposite side of the room.<
>"ook"<

*hears a shout from the distance*
sounds like real life is calling.
*sets the empty cup on the counter and waves goodbye to Mr. Smith, Peregrin and spork.*
Goodbye!!!
*jingle/jangle*

*jinglyjinglyjing*
Hey, Mr Smith's back.
John isn't it? Your beard's looking not bad at all.
I see the Morris dancer is back next to the door
IIEM, half caff decaff please and the laffs on me.
*settles back for a quiet evenings relaxation*

*glug*

Forum changes? It was scheduled for, well, now, but it's going to take a while longer. Hold your breath.

To tell the truth I don't like some of the stuff in Ripley. There's a wierd multicoloured doodah which isn't very intuitive. The most important thing is to be able to view the latest posts, and they've sorted that out, I just wish they'd port it over here.

Meanwhile, in case you don't know, put ?latest=1 at the end of forum addresses to view the latest stuff.

*Comes in via back porch, stopping to throw a wreath of flowers round the statue's head*

Hi everybody. I've been painting this afternoon. As you may know, Styx the Rat is Quorthon's pet, and Quorthon, my cybernephew, has a room of his own at the atelier ... so Styx lives there too. One afternoon last week I sketched him, and did a pastel-and-charcoal of him, which is now hanging in the gallery, at

Oh! Hello, Mr. Smith. Are you served? Good.

Peregrin! I hope you're going to become a regular again. As you can see, we've spiffed up the place a bit. I need to look at the page, I think -- what was your job? What IS your job, I mean.

Hi Peregrin, nice tameecha.
Blimey Lil, that's a spooky picture of Styx.

Quorthon wanted a heavy metal death rat, black with red glowing eyes and at least a foot high at the shoulder, but we couldn't get one like that at the pet shop. But then Quorthon found him running loose on the docks at Plymouth. Who knows where he's from?

IIEM, I'll have another A L Special.

Well if you find out where he's from let me know so that I can avoid it

Nice picture. Unfortunately I had a slight crash IRL, so I might have been wavering a bit there. Apologies to Lintilla.
Thank you er..Asteroid Lil, I am fine with this coffee.
Well, must be off again. Thank you for allowing me to hide ou...*cough* er reside here for the time being. Goodday to you all.

*drains last of coffee and places cup on counter. Nods to the other patrons and looks left then right out of the door. Turns up collar and heads off down the boardwalk*

*enters sans jingle*

Hey, who was that guy? Kind of spooky.

Hi, eatsmice, Lil, Lintilla- nice to meet you Peregrin.

hi all, thanks for the re-welcome I'm the official milkman for this place, so if you ever need some cow-squirted products, you know where to come...

EV, I wouldn't say no to a double whisky...
speaking of whisky, when's the beer festival that you were advertising? (my train of thought is whisky > Scotland > Dr E V > Beer festival, if you were wondering)

*looks around to find herself spontainiously in the center of the Aroma Cafe*
According to the laws of continuity, i seem to suddenly be here due to the fact that ox has seen me here. So...hello again everyone, i guess.

sorry, I'm getting confused again... that second bit was meant to be for the Forum & Firkin...

Sorry, Lintilla..I could swear I saw you over there next to Peregrin who was actually in the Forum & Firkin...now I AM confused *as if I needed any help*

*DD walks into Cafe, and bumbs head on statue*

OW!!!!

I need some soothing herbal tea I think.

well i really need to be off...um nice seeing you all...again.;-
) Goodbye!
*jingle/jangle*

Hey, DD-how's it going? Got to watch that statue.

Bye, Lintilla.

Why what's it gonna do?
