Shagbark takes the whiskey and pours some into his Flask which he carries. He then Puts the bottle in the dumb waiter and sends it down with a note from our friends ashore. He then starts swigging on the whiskey and watching the northern lights as they play across the northern sky.

Back on F615?thread=126132 the powers that be acknowledged that h2g2 lacked a towel smiley and said that one would be given. This was way back in July. Since then they have given us DNA and a host of other things but no towel smiley so to dramatise my displeasure I have instituted a one month boycott and encouraged other members of the SATS (A592102)to do likewise.

Parrot's Nest? I hope that doesn't mean I am going to be the one to clean up after that nasty bird of the Captain's.

Hi, Shagbark! Do you want me to bring you anything from the shore?

Shagbark can't find semaphore hopes Mari- Rae brings something to warm his coffee (like that fabled single malt)

well, no liberty ship yet. I guess I'll head down to the Lighthouse bar for a bit. Shagbark squeezes into the dumbwaiter and is gone.

shagbark returns and notes that Mari-Rae is still onshore. He wonders if she will be bringing back sketches of the island.

Hi Floh! Hi Shagbark! Shaggy, I brought you some single malt whiskey. Somehow I knew you'd like some.
Yes Floh, The Captain has declared a return trip to France is necessary. I forget why. Probably something to do with food. Or with wine. Probably something to do with both. The Navigator has appropriated lots of bottles of white-out, so we should be ok getting there.
I'm hungry for a big cheeseburger with everything, and an order of fries. Does anyone else want one?

Let me guess. Not enough calvados, eh?
Cheeseburger sounds great.
