*Grabs the smiley - crisps bag.*

I'll take that, thank you. *examines her spell.* It looks okay to me, my spells always look a bit wet. I could have sworn that this spell hit something in the darkest corner... I wonder what it was? *Tucks the bag away.*

*a baaaa - ing sound is heard and a goat trots by wearing Thog's head. The goat stops and looks up at them all with Thog's face. smiley - bleepyou, it says, and goes back into the darkest corner of the Pub.*

*Buys herself and Hati both a nice large smiley - stiffdrink with a slice. She sips reflectively, then looks over at Kes.*

This was all your fault, you know. My curse will come u-PUN you again sooner or later.

*Looks around... *

smiley - ill

If anyone's paying attentionn to my whole hangover bit before, I had an interesting morning today. between necesary visits to the bathroom ( I blame the butterscotch schnapps, well either that or the Pilsner, 2 pints of XXXX, Kronrnbourg, 2 bottles of VK Blue, Vodka fishbowls, 3 botttles of Miller or 2 of Newcastle Brown), I decided to phone the nightclub where I had lost my wallet to see if anyone had handed it in, they said no-one had but if I rang back later after the cleaners had been round they might find it.

So, between two completely different visits to the bathroom, I phone them back and they've found it (but by this point I've canceeled my bank cards, and have to get that sorted), and when I finish on the phone I get a call from my university's student union regarding a job that I applied for in MAY! The job is filling in student union card applications and they want me to start next friday, but they are paying me £4.50 an hour, which may be nothing compared to £10 an hour for my summer job (legal clerk) but is still not to be sniffed at.

After all this, and once my insides have decided to take up residence on the same planet as the rest of me and hence stop trying to escape into the toilet bowl (my friend mike calls it "praying at the porcelain altar") I go into town and discover that my wallet somehow escaped the night in tact, although for me it was a closer run thing.

I tell you, it was the BUTTERSCOTCH SCHNAPPS!

Anyway, I'm feeling alright now.

For several years I was Captian of a paintball team! Well, actually it became two teams as I had so many fellows leave their team to join mine, we made up two teams. With extras sitting in the 'safety zone'. smiley - bigeyes Those fellow were such a motley crew! smiley - winkeye
We called ourselves 'F-Troop'. Someone even had a flag made that was white with huge embroidered lettering and a rather large hand with the middle finger pointing upward. smiley - biggrin That became 'our' salute! One guy always wore a white shirt with a red bull'seye painted front AND back! smiley - biggrin ...*wonders where all those group pictures went...hope Gwennie doesn't get her hands on them...blackmale an' all that...again...* smiley - bigeyes
smiley - biggrin Every week-end we traveld about for games and tournements...we even played whilst being filmed by a local TV station. (that day, it was nearly 600 men and five women...smiley - ok...now THAT'S what 'I' call, great odds! smiley - biggrinsmiley - bigeyesI was forever getting lost!smiley - laugh A caravan of men following mesmiley - blush...and I would *always* have to turn my car around, thusly passing the team! <picture men haning out car windows, shouting at me...but
with the radio blasting I could usually only make out a few words...i.e., What the smiley - bleep, No!, Again?!? an' other stuff...smiley - bigeyes
One day, as I turned into the field of play...team-mates in the back of a slow moving truck waving me to "continue THIS way..." and so on...When we finally parked and exited our cars, I was presented with one of those foam, can holders that read: I must hurry to catch up to everyone else, for I am their leader! smiley - biggrin
Isn't that a hoot?!? smiley - laugh
...*still sound asleep...* smiley - bigeyes
