~Donut promptly swallows the gem~

~Greebo looks on...~

Would you like some peanuts to go with that Guiness...

~She points to a load of packets on a board on the wall behind the bar... one of the packets is missing... beneath there seems to be a picture...~

*blinks at Donut twice*

*blinks two more times*

boy that's gonna smart coming out!

sure, i'd love some peanuts!

*peers myopically at the picture on the wall*

hmm... can't quite make it out!?

~Donut swallows the gem~

Oh dear... me could have told you that would happen... ~grin~

Never mind... how about a pkt of peanuts...

~Greebo points to the large card of peanuts on the wall... one pkt has been removed already revealing that there is a picture underneath the pkt's on the car...~

~grin~... you are seeing double me thinks... here have another Guiness...

Don't these weeks just fly by... ~grin~

...but that's what we like about the Grin - it's so peaceful!

*sits back with a newspaper. The clock is heard ticking. Outside a light breeze moves through the trees.*

~Inside Greebo spits in a glass and wipes it~

*sips pint, fills in crossword clue*

~Greebo glances over...~

Six down is wrong... doughnut is not spelt donutsss....

Oh dear. I guess that means seven down is wrong as well. I thought "soo" looked wrong for "a park for displaying animals".

*has another sip of his pint*

~Greebo ponders the clue for a moment or three..~

Would that be a three letter word beginning with t then???

Hmmmm....

What about toe???

*hobbles in*

btw Spiny i swear i saw you on the bus in edin as it went down charlotte square a few weeks ago... (i wasnt on the bus so couldnt say hi!)


right. something to ease the pain please Greebs. i've had enough of this sore leg!

Hi FC, yep - that's a definite possibility as both the 13 and the 41 go round Charlotte Square.

And now YOU'LL have to look out for those buses that lower the front step to let the disabled and elderly on. Roller blades, eh? They'll never catch on.

Greebz, how about a nice pain-killing hot Irish whiskey for my Edinburgh friend?

(generous splash of Jameson's in a tall glass, top up with hot water, stir in sugar and add a big chunk of lemon studded with cloves. Wrap a napkin round the glass and tie a knot to use as a handle. They should be starting to serve them in Dublin bars round about this time of year...)

~Greebo passes over the Hot Irish Whiskey... to Spiny's recipe...~

That looks very good... and smells even better... yummmm

it tastes great too... thanks greebs! i'll have to use this recipe again spiny!

~Greebo grumbles a little cause she never got to taste~

*pours some into a bowl for Greebs...*

see... very nice it is too!


*brings out a sugar doughnut for Greebs to ensure the peace is kept*

~Greebo sips from the bowl and eats the doughnut~

How about a pkt of peanuts FC...

~Greebo points to the cards behind her... show parts of an intriging picture where not covered in packets of out of dat peanuts...~

Glad you like the drink, ladies. If you're ever on a bender in Ireland, alternate hot whiskeys with pints of Guinness and you'll be absolutely fine next morning. Except you'll want a whole pig for breakfast.

So erm...just HOW out of date are these peanuts, Greebz?
