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

Tickling? is that allowed in the BOFH Inn?
Well 2 can play at THAT!



Runs into the Gents. Thinks better of it and runs out again, somethings just ain;t worth risking!

*Jumps up out of reach*

*Gets back on his feet and looks round to see things returning to normal, Ictoan staring into space, mari-rae waving her tongue around and Zan slumped in a chair demanding booze. Wanders over to the fire and gives it a listless poke which causes a loose coal to move and the fire to give of a slight, damp smoke and a faint feeling of heat. Wanders back behind the bar and gives the bar top a rub with a towel.*

*Realises it took him forty minutes to post that and sighs even more*

Awww need a ?

*In her mad dash to catch Ictoan and his sneaky camera, she trips over the Snughound and lands in a heap on the floor under the table where the dentist is sitting.*

Hey! Why are you carrying a pack of cards in your boot??

The Doc wasn't familiar with these parts, Miss, and posted outside in the other thread. He ain't here. Neither 'm I.

But the other webjello, the Earl of Lucan (he sez) is still unconscious in the 4th chair. I heard he's rich but I ain't so sure.

When he wakes up ..... I wonder if he'll remember having bought drinks all round?

*Gets up and dusts herself off in a fastidiously ladylike fashion, pushes loose strands of her grey brown hair back into its bun, hitches her tweed skirt into place and sits down in the 3rd chair. Opens her purse and applies gloss to her lips. Squirts on some lavender water. Pinches her cheeks. Straightens her cardigan. Orders a sherry.*

He sure can snore, can't he?

I thought that was the hot water system tuning up for the day! Any sign of that round of drinks yet?

*Gets up and gets her sherry and gives one to Kes too.*

Here you are... nice of the new guy, isn't it? Maybe he'd buy us lunch too? I'll ask him...

*Turns to the sleeping stranger in chair #4.... How about lunch, honey?*

He said , "ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZz " What do you think?

I think we should have the Today's Special ..... Toad in the Hole ... all ingredients genuine. ... and a bottle of house red to wash it down with ... I'm pretty sure that's what he said ......

Right! Two Frogs in the Bogs, please! and a packet of while we wait!

Well ..... that'll do for me ..... but what are you and Lord Lucan going to eat?

Oh Lord! Do you think Earl's eat? I think that they dine.... er

*Peers at the somnolent noble*
You're right! He's Lucan more and more like the dining type.

You look very busy eating those , Kes. Or perhaps I am mistaken? I have been lurking in Heaven. It's a fun place!

*Steals a chip. Munches. *

*Inspects interior of crisp packet ... not many left. Settles back in chair, contemplating a doze until the Earl (or the Lunch) arrives.*
RL w**k about to commence. CU later

A bottle of house red? Hmmm, now which one would that be?
*Disappears under the bar from which a clinking noise and much dust begins to emanate*

I seem to remember that the house red was a pale Pinky Maroon.

Actually, I went to school with a Pinky Maroon. Wonder what he's up to these days.
