...due to all the junk mail clogging everything up on the other side*

Right. The junk mail's in the blue wheelie bin, the dead kitten is on the compost heap and the kettle's on. Now then, and anyone?

What no beer? Honestly, how quickly you've fotrgotten.

I didn't get beer cos 1) EV drank it all and 2) I'm not drinking, remember?

and over here please!

Honestly Roy, if you start on the now, you'll be in no fit state by tonight.

Oh, right. Yes...forgot who I was talking to...

RF

fords: sorry, I was forgetting your 'situation'.

RF: too late, I'm already on the Hobgoblin.

*passes the plate over to RF while filling his cup with some brew*

There ya go matey!

If you're both good I might even nip round Tescos later and pick up some booze...although we do still have that bottle of Limoncello we brought back from France. Would that do?

*nips off for a quick google*

Hmmm, seems quite, er, lemony.

It's very nice, and they give you a shot of it after your meal for free

I'm surprised they give it to you in France, though...it's Italian, isn't it?

Very good for using in lemon ice-cream or sorbet, I recall.

RF

Well Nice is pretty close to Italy I guess, although I can't remember seeing any in Italy either come to think of it

I drank it left, right and centre when I visited the Amalfi coast, which is slap-bang in the heart of Italy's lemon-producing region.

RF

Tis lovely stuff, right enough! When I get rich and famous I'm retiring to Italy or the south of France. France is in the lead though cos at least I can speak French...

Ah, but Italian's easy to learn: just put -o on the end of the English word, and wave your arms about a lot!

RF

I love hearing an argument in Italian - now there's a nation of people who know how to swear!

It's you!


And you have a new bump! Congratulations.

Yarr, it be me! Care for some and m'dear?

Maybe just a small slice then.

Nice to see you, how's life been treating you?

*cuts a dainty slice of Death by Chocolate and passes it over with a nice cuppa*

Ach, nae bad! Did the wedding thing and have lately just been sitting around as I'm just too tired to do anything really productive these days. Can't wait til the little bugger drops!

*blinks*

Is that ... ? Nah! Can't be ...

Itisitis! Free cake!

Oh, and it's fords too. Hello!

Ullo you!
