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

Ermmmmmm,I was hoping the Snughound would be sleeping Lil throughout the whole procedure.You know better than I do.If you and Kes could stand at each doorway,I could jump him when he least expects it.It might work.

I have some tranquilizer darts here somewhere. Haven't had to use them since Wumbeevil left the building... *ferkles around behind the bar*

Brilliant thinking.I'm impressed,now all I have to do is find a bamboo cane,scoop out the middle,and practise my aim.What a wonderful mind you have Lil.Shall we have a drink while your behind the bar anyway ?

The brass curtain rods are hollow - you could use one of them. Did you say "drinks", by the way? Mine's a pint ...

Now you tell me Kes.I'm half way down this bamboo cane now ! A pint for Kes Lil,while your there.Thankyou.

Bamboo is more traditional, of which the Snughound would approve, I'm sure.

And it won't disturb the spiders webs, if we had to remove those brass curtain poles now Kes,the wild life we'd be murdering.Doesn't bare thinking about really.*Pinky continues to whittle away happily on her bamboo cane* Wonder why Lils taking so long with our drinks Kes ?

I expect she's dipping the tranquiliser darts into the gravy pan, to top them up.

Of course,she seems to be making a lot of tranquiliser doesn't she Kes ? I'm thirsty !

*Looks around cautiously for signs of Munchkin or Lil, before contemplating a behind-the-bar raid*

OK,you make a dash for it Kes,I'll be the look-out.Run,now >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

*Runs around counter. Grabs pint mug. Applies force to beer engine. Achieves . Grabs glass. Pours in stuff from assorted bottles. Achieves . Returns rapidly to barstool with prizes.*

YEY ! Your faster than any gazelle I've ever met Kes.Well done you.Cheers ! (I'm away for a week,so don't drink alone OK ? It's not safe,so they say ! See you when I get back.Pinky x)

>> ...so don't drink alone OK ? It's not safe,so they say...<<

There's actually a song about that:


When you walk thru a storm
hold your head up high,
and don't be afraid of the dark.
Walk on, walk on,
with hope in your heart
and you'll ne-e-e-e-ver drink
a-lone.

Most tuneful. Thank you. If you prefer not to drink alone, I will be happy to keep you company. Mine's a pint ...

Don't panic,it's me ! I know I look tanned and healthy but it IS me ! And mines a brandy and babycham thanks...(Pleased you didn't drink alone Kes)

Oh, it's you. Had me worried for a moment.
*Runs behind bar. Pours Babycham into glass. Adds brandy. Pours very large brandy into another glass (as treatment for shock). Places drinks on bar. Runs back to barstool*
Welcome back! How were the hols?
