A stranggly looking frog wanders accross a small and damp piece of grass and climbs behinde a computer bank to begin it's hibernation

Hello Zipo, welcome to the beach.

eek! i leave for one day and theres one million posts here! boy the donut stall has been busy lately... if nobody minds, ill take a baileys FLAVORED donut and a shovel to start beefing up that sand castle...

Gee thanks R9764 and Eomando all the spoil from your trench is certainly helping this mountain develop at an amazing rate for the last few hours. I think I will have to do a survey to tell how big it is now.

DD

Donut anyone?
Even if none of you are, I'm having a cinnamon one anyway. Comfort-donut.

*Opens eyes, looks around.*
That sandcastles getting huge now, did I do some of that? Can't quite remember. Ow, my head...

*performes another amazing trick by reaching behind another tree and producing a miraculous hangover cure. Drinks it*

Ahh, that's better.

Joanna! You're back! Fantastic!
Now I can finally order a donut! Wish I knew what it was I wanted...

...surprise me, Joanna, I can't make up my mind, there's too many to choose from...

*Looks back up at, moutain-like sandcastle*
Hope DD didn't get lost up there...

Today your donut is the Science Site Special:
Ring Donut, with Chocolate chips, covered in a mix of chocolate and strawberry icing, [marble effect] with small pieces of fresh strawberry.
*Hands over confection, tries not to look at sandcastle which she has a deep seated suspicion of*
Enjoy! If you don't like strawberries, I'll get you something else

Ooo, yum!

That's the best surprise donut I've ever had!

Don't worry about the sandcastle, I'm sure we'll get round to putting some supports or something in it later so it won't fall over. Besides, once it's done, it'll make your donut stand famous!

*Hmm... famous... tourists... more customers...hmmmm...more donuts.... world domination*
*Takes another look at sand castle, unidentifiable glint in eye...*
*Shakes head*
Glad you liked it!
I've never made a surprise donut before!

You should make surprise donuts more often - they're the best!

Just think about it, Joanna...when this sandcastles finished, people'll come from all over the place just to see it, and the donut stand that started it all.

You could even open up a 2nd stall on the top, so then you'd be the only donut stand at the top of the world - yet another thing people would want to see. They'd climb up, get to the top, be hungry, eat lots of donuts, come back down, eat more donuts...

You'll be famous! Honestly!

Do you want another donut now?
Is there anyone you can think of who should have a surprise donut delivery [bearing in mind that you get to choose the type]?
Joanna

*Blinks in the bright sunlight*

Snurf, sorry folks I seemed to inexplicably drop off. (probably too many drinks in another conversation ).

You folks seem to be making pretty good progress with the sandcastle but if DD *really* wants it Everest size I better fire up the JCB and get busy.

But first....
*Produces large |_| of Laphroaig*
Ahhh, another Jam doughnut if I may Joanna?

Sure thing
*hands over donut and grins*

Hi Joanna, I'd love one of your doughnuts - cinnamon would be fine, although you would be a true star if you are able to provide any cinnamon schnapps doughnuts
How come you find it hard to sleep in maths lectures? It was never a problem for me!
That sandcastle is extremely impressive...

cinnamon schnapps donut coming up!
My lecture theatre is too cold to sleep in
Joanna

mmm, lovely doughnut.
Our lecture theatre was lovely and warm... and you could hide away at the back and chat amongst yourselves - those of you woho were still awake, anyway...

Glad you like it!
Wednesday's lecture theatre is warm... I sleep during Phases of Matter

Now I'm a masters student with four seminars a week, I can sleep pretty much whenever I like!

One of them scientific doughnuts please

And they claim undergraduates don't do any work!!!!

Here you are!
*pulls self service sign down over counter*
Catch you later!
