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

Good - come and help me choose a record and tell me all about yourself in my cosy corner. I've got a bottle of Dornfelder here (trying to be patriotic) and no glasses. So we'll have to drink out of the bottle.

Anyway, I've got cold hands, ....er how can I get them warm before I chill the wine?

It's nearly cool enough for a fire in here. I'll bring a sack of coal around tomorrow.

Right - now to these records - do you really only like Beatles or have you heard other bands too?

Beatles! Yes. my favourites also.

GB, thanks, I would love to greet newbies, but: what's this 'Top secret thread'?! Can you give me a hint?

TC, what other bands ??
no, i'm not that much pedantic with the beatles, i like all kinds of music (as long as i lke it, hehe)

sorry, but i had to leave all in a sudden and now it seems that you're not here anymore
my hands are cold as well, so please come back, we'll find a way to warm up again

Hi Ringo, you want some gloves?

*Kasia sits nearby and wait...*

Boy how unromantic. My feet are cold, too - but the rest of me's not. Good, you come over here and I'll show you some nice music.

the heating's still broken but i'm feeling better now
give me your feet, TC i'm sure we can work it out.

Kasia, why don't you join us, don't sit and wait, change the gloves with a bottle of wine.

So come on now, TC, what kinda music?
btw, i've brought something with me, some chocolate cake and 'sunday morning' by the Velvet Underground

That takes me back. Chocolate cake. Does it contain alcohol?

nope, but lots of fat, i like it that way

Velvet underground to match my velvet cushions in decadent red, velvet-textured chocolate cake - I am tempted to say "Who needs a man?", but that's not very flirtatious, is it?

not at all

but your velvet cushions won't sing you 'i'll be your mirror'

Here's looking at ya kid.

sorry, didn't get that one

Was a bit far fetched. Just the thought of mirrors and looking at people. It was the line that Bogie was supposed to have said to Ingrid Bergmann in Casablanca which he didn't. Or was it Play it again Sam which he didn't say?

So back to square one. *Plumps up cushions and wipes lipstick off glass*

Did they bit of flirting die a death or did you two sneak off somewhere else ?

*pops open champagne*

Did I hear Champagne? I think I did.

r and I are busy elsewhere

*pours 2 glasses of champers*

Here you go, love.

Thanks honey.
I think I should drink this more often.
What did you get up to over the weekend?

*scratches his head and tries to remember*

Like that? Sounds good.
