flipping back on topic - *waves arm in air* - I'll be there.

now: Fords, sensible

*weighs up the question bottle of wine in one hand, mental image of Fords in the other*

I obviously didn't pay you enough to keep you quiet over that incident, did I?

you didn't pay me anything... I think all the money went to those who saw the full version.

I didn't see it, but I'm quite happy to accept money not to talk about it.

You're not getting anything, I know far too much about you to counter-blackmail you

i can see that this would cost me an awful lot of money to get anything out of you.

So I shall just wait until you are all drunk and then ask you!

Do we actually have an official list of who is going yet? (I'm thinking of the need to know how many bowling-lanes to hire out). It might be a good idea to put us in teams according to ability, in which case according to the last meet, all the girls should be in the same team. And have the side-rails up.

Oh, and thanks for all failing to leave a message at MrSwordsticks PS. I'm sure that'll help persuade him to come and that you're all people worth meeting. Tsk.

You don't get anything out of me when I'm sober, but chuck some vodkas down my throat and I'm cheap as chips

You've been sober?

E

Shhhh! Keep it quiet, you'll ruin her reputation!

Yeah, I was sober once. It was horrible.

Oh, I am sorry. I had no idea.

I don't believe it - I think she is just playing for a sympathy vote to get free booze

(let me know if it works <whistle)

What a terrible thing to say! Sobriety is a very serious problem, and we should all be doing everything we can to defeat it.

Does that mean you will be doing your best to fight it by buying everybody drinks all night then

I repeat... we should *all* be doing everything we can to defeat it.
