*Wakes up.*
Ah-hah! So this is the infamous question-snatching handbag, eh? Pitty it was robbed as well thereafter.

Draughtsboard? Oh, yes, we were playing prawns.
*moves the prawns about until they turn into a

Oh, that's lovely.
Maybe I shouldn't read Through the Looking Glass quite so often.

Looks like the game's over as you've drunk all the peices.
Do I get the prize, then, if you resigned? Any icecream of my choice?!?!?!

Resigned? I didn't resign! Look, we can use the board as pieces... the squares are movable.
*hands over an icecream of monumental proportions to Bluebottle and moves a couple of squares*
Triple word score! Marvellous.

You're right, it is! I don't remember painting my arm green...
*throws the dice*
*rushes round the supermarket chucking things in a trolley*

*Throws dice again.*
Professor, you are the weakest link. Would you like to phone a friend and tell the audience goodbye?

You what? I think you'll find my bond with the rest of the Omniverse considerably stronger than anyone else's, what with my journeys to other realities.
And why did you say 'Oh?' Don't you read my weekly Ask Prof column in the Post?

* holds up hand *
I do! I wish I'd thought of it first, it's so good.
* starts to sink, puts hand back in water and stops sinking *
I really need to remember that both hands make treading water considerably easier.

Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Sep 4, 2001
*wades through water, seaweed in her hair*
Did I hear someone mentioning icecream?
Here comes Summer
MaW Posted Sep 5, 2001
Yes, I'm trying to think of another letter to send you. I'm sure there's something you can help with...
In the meantime, I'm also trying to come up with the theme for my own column in the Post which I sort of told Shazz I'd have written by today, and I haven't. 
I guess she'll have to wait until next week while I struggle with my creative inspiration cortex.

Titania, yes, the icecream van is a bit further up the beach. I'm supposed to be serving, but it was quiet so I thought I'd have a sunbathe in my new rubber bikini.

Bluebottle Posted Sep 5, 2001
Did I say there was a problem?
Hope you're going to enter it in the bikini competition soon, when it starts.
