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

Howabout employing a couple of sharks, one on the door and one doing the valet bit. Then your human customers could be torn limb from limb (for a small fee of course) and passed thru the fishflap.

(Whew, made it without doing THE typo)

Sounds great to me.
We need to try and get more links from other organisations, that should help.

Like Walls and Mckellar Watt, you mean?

I really think that would make too much mess, and we'd need extra cleaning staff! Alternately, we could always use a "door"....

A door - good idea.
We should start a serving food thread, maybe.

Wouldn't waiters be a better idea for serving food? Thread usually snaps, especially if it's a flambé dish.

Very true... Unless it is re-inforced carbon fibre thread...

:-) Well just for your benefit... There is now a "carbon fibre thread" for serving @ http://www.h2g2.com/F42157?thread=69843&post=520392 Enjoy... ><>

How about a part-time waiter.

I'm probably not exotic enough for a coral reef caf, but I can always change my name to "Inque-wâche" or something, for the purposes of my service...

Hi there Inkwash, nice to see you...

"Exotic"... Hmmm.... have you met Wumbeevil, our resident punn artist... he's FAR from exotic

But anyway, if you'd like to do some "waiting" just hang about and wait... ANYway... you'll find a uniform out back in the staff room, and the cooks will be glad to see you... if we had any...

So... Welcome to the cafe... would you like anything before you start?

*Emerges in smart shirt and apron*

Any chance of a hot chocolate before I start?

Sure, if your willing to wait 5 weeks for it!

It seems to have congealed...
