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

You are starting to sound like the bartender at my local pub. She give me a drink and a sidecar and tells me to go along. And Gw7en, we moved in some more furniture while you were *out*.

Any chance of a |_| of scotch for me as a night-cap before I head for bed?

Yeah Marv - I was taught that whiskey and scotch should be neet (or is that neat) and gin should only have ice Of course what other people choose to do is their own thing

BluesSlider - a |_| of great Scotch just for you.

And the gin should be stirred, not shaken, if you don't want it bruised. (A blow to Bond fans everywhere, I know!)

*notices Eulogy beginning to pout*

So I'm waiting to hear what this word is, mate.

Lil

Oppps, sorry Eulogy, thanks Lil.

Yes tell us what the cool word is please.

Courtesy

Yes! You can't make a statement like that and then fall silent!*pulls another pint of old peculiar* Sorry that you were caught out Gwen! I should have warned you this stuff has more of a poke then is instantly apparent!

Great, I need to expand my list of words I know...

Eulogy? *shakes Eulogy by shoulder*
Oh dear, I think Eulogy has passed out.
Courtesy, a coffee milkshake might be in order here.

Scotch never hurts though

Sadly, from experience I have to report that your statement is somewhat inaccurate

However, my philosophy is to treat hangovers as a sports injury, much as a runner might treat a strained ligament, a little rest then back into training!

Talking of which....

*reaches for a large |_| of Laphroaig*

Nothing like a virtual jolt to open your eyes in the morning

*Pours out a |_| of 21 year old scotch*

Cheers Courtesy.

*Sips it*

Good stuff this. Sorry I had to nip out for a bit and play bowls, glad to see you didn't miss me. I'll just sit on the 15th sofa over here then shall I.

With enough scotch, you feel no pain. U could use a (|_| of it as well. As it makes work a little more bearable.

Certainly does Marv, it certainly does.

DD

With enough Scotch you feel nothing

I have generally found that a good scotch can be compared to an angle crying on your tounge

Scotch all around, and milkshakes for those who need them

Scotch is good, but I prefer a nice brandy myself.

*rummages through box*

Well look what I have here. It's a bottle of fine brandy with Gw7en's name on it

*hands over bottle with a snifter*

Courtesy

I've got some better stuff around here somewhere.

*Goes to what appears to be an ordinary globe. Extracts a large key and inserts nicely into New Zealand. Opens top of globe and produces Waterford Crystal Brandy Bottle*

Try some of this and tell me what you think.

DD

Well anything in Waterford MUST be good, sorry my Irish coming out

*pours the brandy into some Waterford brandy snifters, takes a sip*

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, exquisite

Now all we need are some cigars

Courtesy

*swirls the brandy in the snifter so that it is warmed to just the perfect temperature by her hand then sips*

Mmmmmmmmmm... Heaven... Thank you ever so much!

I personally prefer the smell of a pipe over the smell of a cigar (Since I don't smoke personally, I rely on the actual smell), but to each his or her own.

*lights a pipe full of good Cavedish and props it up in an ashtray that appears on the table at her elbow*

Yes, just the thing.

(Oh, Shazz. Don't worry about the Old Peculiar. Just have to work up to it is all! )
