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

*You have arrived just in time to miss all but the last few words of Linus' victory speech. As you look around you see streamers everywhere, with a rather impressive looking juke box in one corner.

Wandering over to the other end of the room you walk past a table laden with food. However this barely registers, as at the far end of the room is exactly what you have been looking for: quite possibly the largest collection of free drinks you have ever seen in your life*

"...so my friends, i say once again, thanks to one and all for your help and most importantly "

*Trying to look as if he's been here for the entire speech, Kes appluads politely then rushes over to grab a free . , Linus!

Hurrah! Applause Well done Linus!
Three times cheers for Linus!!
!!!

*is not convinced they were there for the entire 2 hours of his speech...*

Thank you both , however enough of that. The time has come for serious drinking...

*grabs a *

So, what are we going to campaign for next? I'm rather in favour for a smiley..

*comes in carrying HUGE trays of and courtesy of the Ministry*
Well I think every self respecting bar should sell Fruit Pastilles personally or maybe Ferraris...
Congratulations Linus! Great Speech btw!
**

You don't think i cut too much out of it then

As for fruit pastilles, i'm sure there are some on the food table somewhere...

No it was a perfect length, just long enough to keep the attention without dragging too much
*hurries over to the buffet completely ignoring the drinks*
Mmmm, veggie sausage rolls...

*shazz, on the other hand, completely ignores the food and heads straight for the drinks*

Linus... as ever your two hours was short and to the point!

*Grabs a in each hand and joins the celebrations*

everyone!

shazz

*grabs a few for himself*

Yes, indeed

*waves to Shazz with a handful of sandwiches*
These cheese and pineapple sticks are great Linus... we could ply darts with the cocktail sticks afterwards
*opens the dart board on the wall*
Right who's up for a game of darts?

Oooh! Good idea Tink

I trust that there is a healthy supply of cards, dominoes, crib boards, pool and snooker tables also?

The amoungt of time we will prbably spend in here we should make some use of!

shazz

*with a in one hand and a Cheese and Pineapple stick in the other, Gedge attempts to hit the dart board with the latter*

LOOK OUT

*a piece of cheese lands in a and the pineapple flies across the room*

Perhaps I should eat the cheese and pineapple first,

Great party,

*Staggers in under the bulk of a huge inflatable smiley which she deposits on the middle of the food table*

Hello everyone!

Oops! I seem to have squashed the trifle!

Linus me old mucker and well done! Now lead me to the nearest beer keg so that I may partake of some serious drinking.

Ooh I do love a party!

I tell you what, I'll eat all the cheese first and then we'll play darts afterwards?
And Shazz of course theres a pool table, how else would I ever win if not at virtual pool

*Drops in for a celebratory .*

Any suggestions for the jukebox BS? It's about time we had music in here and I suspect my choices of Britney and SClub7 won't be appreciated by many

I suggest you would be absolutely correct in that assumption

In fact i would be amazed if they were even on there in the first place...

*wanders around with a tray of nibblies, realising he better get his hosting duties in early before he is too *

Oh How about Kylie? It's the new album, it's very good? And if it's the same juke box that used to be in here then they're definitely on it along with Tina Turner, Guns and Roses and several entirely random bands that no-one had heard of

*goes to fetch half a before standing in line for the food again*
