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

hi dr nick,
i am a fellow medic at caius, and therefore a fellow to both you (via medic connection) and catwoman. who lives on my corridor (lucky her). i am also- as you no doubt guess- the writer of the rules of pennying. i'd be interested to get info on college variations, to prepare myself for away boat club formals.

Hey Neilfish! Nice to hear from a fellow medic on hootoo! The rules you drew up are basically the same for pennying here at Sidney. Here though you can take a bit longer before you down your drink if the people around you let you do so. This usually happens when you're reaching the bottom of the bottle and been pennied for most of the evening! Can't remember if you said in your rules but we're not allowed to be pennied by the same person as just poured our drink. This is easy to get round tho - just get a partner to pour the drink and between you you can get everyone around you. Of course this makes you a bit of a target...
