*Various smells are drifting in from the kitchen. Some are drifting in from Greebo too. Coelacanth waits politely to be seated*

~Greebo pushes over a large trolley... she beckons the Butler (Menza) to help her... and they gently place Coely's tank on the trolley and puch it close to the table...~
Hmmm... me just got a written warning from the kitchen for leaving dirty footprints over the floor... ~frown~... and now you say me smells... ~big bright grin~... me had a bath on 17th May... er.. 1999...

*Smiling as the tank is comfortably placed at the table.*
Thanks Greebo. Do you like my hat? Babel-17 gave it to me. He has one too. 
*Indicates smart and sophisticated hat with holders for the drink and integral straw running from the them, around the brim and down to coelacanth's mouth.*
Just the thing for this occasion doncha think?

*Greebo and Coelacanth air kiss*
Do you have any Bolly Sweetie? It's what all sophisticated cats and fish drink I hear.

GreeboTCat Posted May 21, 2000

Hi Wagtail! Yes this is the right place for the dinner party, I think.
*Pulls up a chair at the table and tucks a serviette into her collar*
Ohhhh! A sof...spof...'fisticated dinner party! Fizzy drink too! This is all too much, Greebo! How posh! 
*Gazes at the cutlery set out before her and whispers to Coely*
Psst! Which one do I use first, please?
Menza volunteered to be a butler? *Wonders what the wages are*

Baldrick Posted May 21, 2000
*Baldrick pokes his head out of the kitchen door*
Coffee, anyone? Plain, decaff, espresso and French
At The Table
Gwennie Posted May 21, 2000
Espresso please, with soya milk, but without the crunchy bits on the top please.

Menza Posted May 21, 2000
*walks out of kitchen with a silver trey with a coffee pot, milk jug and sugar bowl*
Would sir, madam care for a drink?

GreeboTCat Posted May 21, 2000
This is getting better ~Grin~... Lots of friends to chat to... ~grin~... Hey Wagtail... er... sorry about this... but me is not er sure... you know... which place you should sit in... it's male female...
Greebo
Doc John
Coely
Sionnach
Gwennie
Babel-17
Wagtail???
Sorry... but it's sometimes so hard to tell...
Oh hello Menza... good show... can you get some Bolly for Coely and I... thankyou sweetie... ~grin~
At The Table
Menza Posted May 21, 2000
Certainly Ma'am
*returns to the kitchen, only to reappear with a champagne bottle*
At The Table
coelacanth Posted May 21, 2000
Excuse me Dr J
*coelacanth leans round to share Bolly with Greebo*
Excuse me Sionnach
*coelacanth leans round to whisper to Gwennie*
it's no use asking me which knife and fork to use! I have fins, and Greebo said she was going to employ a lady in waiting just for me. I need the food cut up and sprinkled on the top of the tank.
Do you like my hat?
*waves past Gwennie to Babel-17 who is wearing a very similar one*
At The Table
GreeboTCat Posted May 21, 2000
~Greebo returns from a quick visit to the garden~.. Guess what me has seen sweetie... ~grin~... a rather odd little man collecting insects...

Ishtar Posted May 21, 2000
...Ishtar walks in from the kitchen....and fixes the cat with an awful stare....her eyes sweep down and dwell in a meaningful fashion on the cat's feet......she sniffs....loudly....turns round and walks out again...
