The British Army Barracks Tea-Room

[Frodorocks]

I've finished it but I don't remember anything about a fairy cake. Must go see sometime. Thanks for the tea.:)

[Wonko The Sane]

It's in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. :)

In the something or other vortex...that's powered by Fairy Cake. :)

[Frodorocks]

I haven't read that one. I've only read the first one.:)

[Snaga]

Well be aware we will NOT be serving Pan-Galactic-Gargle-Blasters in here.

But perhaps we can get a mad cow to come and discuss what part of his anatomy you would like to eat... spinal cord, anyone? *Has been studying BSE far too much:rolleyes: *

[Wonko The Sane]

How about a steak? Sans brain matter please! :D

And WHY no Pan-Galactic-Gargle-Blasters?! Those things are ACE! What's it like...like being thwacked in the head with a lemon covered gold brick or something...

[Wolfshead]

Nah, not a good idea, we'd need some voluntary organisations to help us recover from them. I don't think those organisations are available on TTF :rolleyes:

[Snaga]

Also there are not enough qualified brain transplant surgeon!:rolleyes:

[Wonko The Sane]

But I don't need a blain transplant I need a LIFE transplant!!

Anyway, I hear they can replace my brain with one that works just as well, or almost as well...we could program it to say, "I love Brits!", "Sexy accents?! *swoons*" and "Snaga, snog me!!" and nobody would know the difference!!!

[Frodorocks]

Yay! now I'm a loremaster again. i've nearly gained back what I lost in the cleaning! :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Wolfshead]

Now, you go and set your av before your count gets put back down again :D Once you have it uploaded, it doesn't go. If you care, or anything.

[Wonko The Sane]

*serves tea, smiling all the while and humming happily to herself, she stops, looks up and realizes she's standing under mistle toe*

Hmm...Where's Snaga when you need him?!

[Frodorocks]

If I care, of course I care, I'm a very caring person.:) Now I'll I've got to do is figure out how to do that.:) After reading The HitchHikers' Guide to the Galaxy and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland I'm in a really weird Britsh mood. British and crazy, that's what makes a good book.

[Wonko The Sane]

Hehe...HHGTTG always puts me in that mood.
:) I walk around asking for tea in my crazy accent.
Hehe. ;)

*feels a headache coming on and goes to sit down* I can't get sick..this would be the worst possible time in the history of the stomach flu for anyone to get sick!!! NO!!!!!!!!

[Frodorocks]

By my magic powers I decree that you are indeed not sick, now go and have LOTS of fun. :D (snickers):D

[Wonko The Sane]

Don't snicker at me!!! I refuse to respond to any allegations you may throw at me!!!

Anyway...my head feels sinusy and my eyes feel watery and I think I might sneeze.

My mum and sis have the stomach flu and have been puking like every 10 minutes.

That would be SOO pants...*sighs*

Two days...Two days to NOT be sick in.

[Frodorocks]

Well, if you do have it, flus are pretty short, it'll probably be over in two days.

[Wonko The Sane]

But I need to be better by Saturday night!!!

Anyway...I don't want to be sick at ALL!!! *looks in open browser window she's just been amusing herself with for the past 15 minutes*

Oh my...somebody stop me...before I do something stupid.

[Nimawae's hope]

And how do you suggest that we stop you dear? I believe that you are quite uncontrolable. Your points count indicates that.






So why do you have more points added to the warning thingy? Have you been misbehaving?

[Wonko The Sane]

Spamming...and possibly some light snogging. ;) :D

[Nimawae's hope]

Oh...well.......hmmmm. I'd tell you to behave yourself, but I don't think it will do any good!!:rolleyes:

What subject were we on anyway?

[Wonko The Sane]

Snogging hopefully!!! :D

You're right though...it won't do me any good...

ANYway, Snaga owes me a kiss for not catching me under the mistle-toe earlier. :)

[Frodorocks]

What, are Snaga and Wonko the only ones who post?:D What's up? What's going on with people? TTT opens in TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

[TheFool]

*strides to the bar, rummages around in a cupboard and pulls out bottles of champagne*

better put these on ice!!

*goes to jukebox and selects 'In The Meantime' by Spacehog*

So Roy Langdon is going out with Liv Tyler (the git!), nevertheless this is his finest song! :D

…and in the end we shall achieve in time
the thing they call divine
when all the stars will smile for me
when all is well, and well is all for all
and forever after,
maybe in the meantime wait and see

We love the all, the all of you
Our lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all, we're just like you
We love the all of you

*paces the room humming loudly, a cup of tea in one hand and an air guitar in the other*

[Frodorocks]

We have life in the tea room!:D One day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Goes outside and sets off lots of fireworks.)

[Snaga]

* Comes out from the back, smoothing his hair down *

OK... new theme for discussion is the our SF comedy night that I have deemed we need to hold SOON! What should we show?

So far I'm thinking Red Dwarf and Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy? Which should top the bill, and what else should be on the play list?

Personally I think Red Dwarf rules? 'My head may look like an amusingly shaped ice-cube, but I think I might just know best here' * Ah! smug mode*:D

[Wonko The Sane]

Yay!!! Two movies I now own!!!! I love presents!!!
:) I second that motion!!! *Kisses Snaga* Thank you, dear!

[legoman]

Legoman wanders in... ah christmas, goody.

I can't be bothered to read all the stuff above lets see, what will it be, WOnk/snaga blah.

So how is everyone spending this christmas?????

[Frodorocks]

I don't know any of those movies, just one of the books, but sure, sounds great.:D How was England Wonks? Live up to your expectations? Speaking of Christmas presents,I have Christmas presents for everyone.I'm feeling generous.;) For Wonko- A steaming bowl of bright orange oatmeal!:D Just kidding. Here, have the shag mobile, the only good thing in the Austin Powers movies. For Freedom- I rented out a plane, an instructor, and skydiving equipment for a day. Tell me what it was like!:) For CraigSmith- 10 tickets to an Iced Earth concert. For Snaga- The wickedest orcish blade this side of Middle Earth. Just don't go using it on Frodo!:D For all of the British people I don't know that well or forgot- The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Rings extended DVD and a packet of corn flakes.
:) For all of the American people I don't know that well or forgot- Paid hotel, car rental, and plane tickets to Britain. Enjoy everyone!:)

[FREEDOM!]

I thought Snaga came to Seattle??:confused: :confused:

[Frodorocks]

Well I thought Wonko went to England!:) Yeah, I'm slowly figuring out what really happened now.:)

[Wolfshead]

Wow! Thanks a lot. Um, now, what to give you in return, seeing as it's only polite?

Ah, now, here we go

*Hands Frodorocks a first edition copy of The Lord Of The Rings*

Merry Christmas :D

[FREEDOM!]

Just a hint, i want an X-Box.

[Frodorocks]

Wow thanks Craig!:D (throw an x-box at Freedom) Happy?;) :D

[FREEDOM!]

OHH Thnx, how'd u ever know i wanted one?!?;) :p ;) :D

[Frodorocks]

A little Nazgul told me.:D

[FREEDOM!]

Ohh, i see.

[Frodorocks]

Yeah, I saw a Nazgul and I yelled up to him, "hey amazingly creepy dude, what does Freedom want for Christmas?" and he sreeched back down, " he wants an x box, have you seen a ring?" and so I yell, "they threw it in the sea" and he's like "sh1t!":D

[FREEDOM!]

ROTFLMAO, Thanks.

[Frodorocks]

Hey what does ROTFLAMO mean?:D

[FREEDOM!]

It means Rolling On The Floor Laughing My @$$ Off.:D

[Frodorocks]

Oh:D

[FREEDOM!]

Ya.:)

[Snaga]

OK... we're a bit late but we should really be eating turkey, and getting very drunk. But lets agree that moment has gone, OK? So lets get MORE drunk!

Who wants to pull a cracker? Did anyone get a joke in a cracker this year that was actually funny??? I hope not, that would ruin a long tradition!

Who wants some Christmas pud? If we can find some brandy, we can pour it over the Christmas pud and set fire to it... always good fun!

Oh and Wonks would very much like to come to England, but is currently unable. But I went to Seattle and had a jolly good time thank you!

[Frodorocks]

Yay! Drunk people are funny!:D "Look, I can kiss myself in the mirror." "Good for you, you deserve a cookie." "Ooo, a cookie, I want a cookie." "Here have this empty nutty bar box" She ate it too!:) :D That was one of my friends drunk at a music festival last Summer.:D

[Nimawae's hope]

I'm in favour of being the first one drunk......I may have a hard time getting there though cuz I never actually tried it.:rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

It's not hard getting there, just getting back.:D

[Snaga]

Gettingf drunk is much easier if you've never done it before! Alarmingly so!:D

* eats cookie * Or is this actually a biscuit?:p

[legoman]

thats not entirely true, when I first got drunk it took 9 shots of aftershock far too much vodka, some cheap wine, starwars episode 4, some orange juice some apple juice, some friends and my sisters boyfriend - who I didn't like and got more and more insulting towards as the night went on. oh then it involved pizza and crashing at a friends house.

[Snaga]

It involved cheap german white wine for me, in copious quantities.

But I still would not call it difficult. The recovery next day was!

I think you overcomplicated things with too much fruit juice and your sisters boyfriend. Cut that out, and the rest sounds like just the ticket!:D

To anyone impressionably young reading this: I AM NOT YOUR ROLE MODEL. ;)

[FREEDOM!]

We already figured that out, let's do something.......any ideas....

[Frodorocks]

Lets decorate the place with green hearts and pink shamrocks, as St. Patrick's day and Valentine's day are the two closest holidays!:D Why wouldn't we want you as our role model? We love you Snaga.:rolleyes: :D

[Wonko The Sane]

The first time I got drunk it took like...3 shots of Baileys, 2 shots of Kahlua, and countless bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade...NOT easy!!!

But I wasn't hungover the next day.
I've NEVER been hungover.
Maybe I didn't do it right...

[Snaga]

Love and Guiness! Sounds like an interesting combo! But perhaps a little way off.

Thank you Frodorocks, that's very kind. * is oblivious to irony *

If you are avoiding hangovers you are doing something right! Work out what it is and tell me!:)

* disappears and returns with a huge pizza base * OK we're going to celebrate the culture of one of our European neighbours... Italy. How? By eating pizza.

Here's the pizza base... chuck on your favourite toppings... Ready? OK... Go!

[Frodorocks]

* chucks in some pineapple, wonders if it will gross some people out* You're very welcome snaga. (makes irony very obvious) I'm sorry, we have a truce, so I won't be mean I promise.:)

[Wonko The Sane]

Um...Pizza was invented in America I believe...In New York around the turn of the century when everyone was immigrating here.
I believe it was invented by Italian-Americans though.

Oh well!

*tosses huge piles of grated cheese onto the pizza and adds loads of veggies*

I like veggie pizzas!

[legoman]

*legoman runs up behind, and chucks on pepperami, pepperoni, spicy beef, lamb doner meat, chicken, ham, pork, a spare rib and a big mac*
'no thats a pizza!'
when will it be cooked??

[Frodorocks]

When the wonderful sun god Ra tells us to bake it in his scorching flames.:rolleyes: :D

[Wonko The Sane]

We will cook it when everyone's added their toppings!

:) And anyway, I like veggie pizzas, but I like meaty pizza's too!! So shh! ;)

*Tosses on a few strips of beef jerky, some venison, and some smoked salmon bits*

[Frodorocks]

Throws on some pickled herring.:D

[Snaga]

Oooh yes seafood! Tassty and crunchable!

* chucks on tuna, sardines, swordfish, prawns, clams, cod, halibut, jellied eels, a load of sushi, a kipper and a whale (yes a whole one! I'm hungry)*

[Wonko The Sane]

*Tosses on some more eel*

I LIKE eel! Snaga knew that though.

*tosses on more sushi* I also like sushi! But it'll be ruined after we bake the thing! Maybe we should add more later?

*adds scallops, squid, shrimp, and one giant H'umh'umunukunukukapua'a, the state fish of Hawaii. Which actually might not be edible and is certainly spelled wrong.*

[TheFool]

*spots a tiny space onto which, miraculously, only pepperoni, pineapple, green peppers and cheese has rained down*

aHA that corner's mine!

[Wonko The Sane]

*Takes a magic pizza marker and draws "Fool's Pizza" onto the mound of toppings*

There you go!

[FREEDOM!]

*Throws on some Lobster* I love Lobster!! How bout some sauce .... *removes all the toppings and puts sauce on, then add the toppings on exactly as they were* there we go!

[Frodorocks]

*Throws on some cheese* You can't have a pizza without cheese.:)

[TheFool]

hehe I can just see it, we get this thing near the oven and a ring of elvish words will start appearing round the base :D

[legoman]

'Hello and welcome to cooking with tolkien fans, a new show pioneered by the BBF, today we are at the TTF's main kitchen in the british army barracks tea room, lets have a look at what they are cooking...

'Hi there *reads name badge* Wonko, what is it you've prepared for our hungry fans today... oh a giant pizza, thats very ambitious, I see you seem to have an awful lot of dead animal on there, which I should poibnt out makes it all the more scrumptious. I wonder where exactly do you find thesee creatures?'

*camera pans round to show pother cooks playing cricket with a dead rat*
*camera pans back - quickly*

[Snaga]

OK that must be quite enough toppings!

*Tries to pick up the pizza but its too heavy. *

Anyone care to help me get this thing over to the special giant pizza oven over there in the kitchen?

[FREEDOM!]

*Helps snaga carry the pizza to the oven* are you guys really getting married?? Dude can i come? This probably isn't the place too be asking tho is it?? Well setting up a web cam will work i guess.;) ;) :D :D :p

[Frodorocks]

Yay!!!!!!!:p I'm so happy!!!:D Quickly rushes over to add some muscle power to the group trying to carry the pizza.;)

[Wonko The Sane]

Me too!! *Runs to help the rest and they manage to ease the giant pizza into the giant oven*

*turns towards the camera, beaming and covered in flour*

"Hi!" "she waves. Snaga comes up behind her, wraps his arms about her waist, kisses her on the neck and looks at the camera as well.*

"Hi!" *he says as he waves. Wonks grins and turns to give him a quick kiss, they both turn back and say, in unison,* "Bye!" *And scamper off to be alone together*

Hehe.
Call us when it's pizza time! ;)

Ooh, and Legoman, that post was SOO funny! I read it to Snaga while on the phone and laughed sooo hard!!!

[FREEDOM!]

Well it looks like the cooks do every thing in the kitchen but cook!;) :p

[Snaga]

*Snaga's voice calls from wherever they have gone:rolleyes:;) *

someone do a salad and some garlic bread...

You made us sound like a big pair of dorks there. Oh well!

[Frodorocks]

I'll make the garlic bread!:) I'm Italian, so I can make the best kind of garlic bread!;) (with a British twist, of course)

[FREEDOM!]

Oh, sorry. i seam to end up saying that alot! but i'll make salad, but it has too have some kind of meat in it!

[Wonko The Sane]

Shhh! Less talking more kissing!!!
;)

Anyway if I did make us sound like dorks we're amorous dorks.
I think they forgive us, luv. We're getting married! ;)

[Frodorocks]

We'll forgive you.;) Yech! Meat in a salad? Poor animals.:D

[Snaga]

Are you veggie Frodorocks?

I need to come up with a nickname for you. Frodorocks is just too long.... I was thinking Rockie?;)

[Frodorocks]

I can't be one yet, my parents won't let me.:rolleyes: But I still manage to eat the smallest portion of meat as is possible.:) You guys can have meat if you want to though.:) Rockie... I kinda like it. :D Sure, you can call me Rockie.:p

[FREEDOM!]

I think Veggie would sound better.

[Frodorocks]

All right, you guys have to vote on it or something.:)

[FREEDOM!]

All in favor of "veggie" say I.

[legoman]

I don't mind, since they're both shorter but veggie could cause trouble with other forum members if they are also vegetarian and also if its rockie we can do loads of sylvester stallone jokes - hehe.

So you don't eat meat but do you drink 5 raw eggs every morning?

ooh, can I have Rockies meat???? - I'm a carnivore.

[FREEDOM!]

*Says in best Sylvester Stallone voice* Ok, Rockie it is!:D

[TheFool]

*ahem*

"Adrieeeeeeennne!!!"

(anticipates a swift upper cut :D )

[legoman]

Oh I'm sorry did I start all this??? hehehe...hey rockie, if you are a veggie does that mean you can't eat the eye of a tiger?

*cringes at his own attempt at a joke* - I apologise, that was below the belt... teheheh, below the belt.... too much!!!

[Frodorocks]

:rolleyes: :D Eeewww! Tiger eyeballs. Yes, you can my meat. Please explain your joke Fool. I didn't get it.
:) ( You won't get an upper cut, I'm better at roundhouses.:D )

[TheFool]

hmm, well it seems Rocky's girlfriend's name is actually Adrian, but I went for the logical choice! I've been trying to find a wav sample cos then you get the accent as well, but this from the imdb (http://us.imdb.com/) will have to do:

Quotes containing "Rocky":
....62. Rocky (1976) Rocky: Adrian!
63. Rocky (1976) Adrian: Rocky!
64. Rocky (1976) Rocky: Adrian!
65. Rocky (1976) Adrian: Rocky!
66. Rocky (1976) Rocky: Adrian.
67. Rocky (1976) Adrian: Rocky......

ow stop kicking me! :D Rockie is great :)

[Wonko The Sane]

Wow...this thread just keeps getting better!!

I'm going to call her Rox. Just cos it sounds better and such.

The End.

[Snaga]

hey I hear there's an engagement party for Wonks and me! :D I hope you're all going to come!
Engagement Party (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9089)
As is traditional, I am going to have a drink with 'the lads' first... ok.. who's buying me a pint?

[legoman]

Yeah, I'm uip for that, the engagement parties full of women, scary.

What do you want? Where do you want it?? (I mean to drink!)

[Frodorocks]

* Stops kicking The Fool and kicks a table leg instead* Ow! That hurt!:D Yay! I'm great! *Goes off to set the table for the pizza, salad and garlic bread, calls back after her, " What do you guys want to drink?"*

[Snaga]

Beer! Lots of beer!:D

[Frodorocks]

*Grabs a six pack of beer out of the cooler and sets it on the table.*:D

[legoman]

Have we got any pepsi max?
for those of us with extreme tastes of course... I'm just getting fed up of beer.

[Snaga]

Excellent! Thanks Rockie!

* hands out beers to TheFool, FREEDOM, Legoman *

* Drinks one swiftly *

In my experience, engagement parties are often full of scary women... You guys need to watch out.

Looks out of the window... by the way, Lego, did you notice the moon was enormous last night?

[legoman]

erm last night... lets see, left here at what time, erm... about 5:30ish, didn't look up, went almost straight to the pub and didn't leave till about 2ish, can't say I noticed sorry mate...
Was it good?
Now do you mean big for the moon or just big compared to a simple meteor?

[Frodorocks]

"You're welcome Snaga" replies Frodorocks while sipping her margarita.:) The moon's been huge for awhile. It was full on Saturday. :D The sky's been so pretty lately that every morning when I go out to start the car, I trip down my porch steps cos I'm not looking where I'm going.:rolleyes: I love stars.:)

[Frodorocks]

Go to your engagement party Snaga! They're waiting for you! Mab's there, so it's not all scary women, I promise!:D

[legoman]

I bet it is and I bet they fuss over you all the time. hohoho, serves you right for getting married... hehe.

[Nimawae's hope]

Hehe! Yeah, it's a bad idea to get into that whole marriage mess. Bad thing to try to get out of........Somebody get me something to drink........I'm parched

[TheFool]

*takes drink* Cheers, snaga... here's to you and your soon-to-be other half! :)

*takes out notebook and makes note to self: engagement parties..... full of...... women* :D

[Snaga]

* drinks a large scotch and ice, and then some beer *

Hey, don't worry about me! Wonks will fend off scary women for me! But the rest of you guys might have to look out!:D

* finishes beer*

OK... I'm off the party! Who's coming too?

*pauses, and downs another beer for good measure, stands up unsteadily, grins, and walks nearly straight out of the door *

Wooo-hooo!!!!!!

[Frodorocks]

What do you want Nimawae? Yay! Snaga's going to the party!:D :D It's not entirely full of scary women. I'm not scary am I? :D (evil grin):D

[legoman]

haha, how do I answer that wtihout you wanting to attack me....
hehe.
Nah, you're not all that scary, I've met scarier.
Ok, lets all go nicely and chk out that party.
Still we can always comeback here and have lots of drinks.
Mines a ribena.

[Frodorocks]

*Gets legoman his ribena.* Hehehe, I promise that it's not poisoned.:D Really, I wouldn't care if you said that I was the scariest gorilla you've ever met. I don't get insulted. Btw, who is the scariest person that you've ever met?:D

[legoman]

thank you F/R. hmm, I reckon the scariest person I've ever met is my pyscho flat mate. but hes not a girl, so it kinda doesn't work on that account, but he is very scary.

How about you, whos the scariest person you've met... on the forum??:p

[TheFool]

Originally posted by Wonko The Sane

6 of Wonks, half a dozen of the snaga :D sorry, I'm in the mood for terrible puns..:)

*settles back in chair and puts feet up*

[Frodorocks]

Hmmm... the scariest person I've ever met on the forum would probably be Wonks(dodges the board:D ) or everyone else in the British Army.:p I'm the back up bartender Wonks.:) You seem rather busy.

[legoman]

we're not scary, we're intriguing.

Do you serve anything with strawberries in?

[Frodorocks]

Very inrtiguing, wonderful people.:D Yeah, I serve strawberries. Strawberry Daquiris, Strawberry Shortcakes, Strawberry Steak.:D

[FREEDOM!]

OOH, Strawberry Daquri's, I'll take 2!!!

[Frodorocks]

*Gets Freedom his daquiris* Are you sure that you don't want a strawberry steak? They're really good.:D *Not waiting for his answer, Rockie goes and pours some strawberry sauce and sliced strawberries on a steak*:)

[Wolfshead]

Hey, Rockie, I'll have some Eye Of The Tiger, please.

Oh God, that was awful. Note to self: Never use a pun again...ever.

[FREEDOM!]

Takes steak, hey fine with me!! *falls to the floor shivering* ****, I think i'm sick!!

[legoman]

Great, that means I can have your steak, cheers.
*Legoman picks up the steak, then eats it and orders another*
Hmm, that was good.


I wouldn't have gone as far as wonderful, that could throw you into all sorts of trouble, using that kind language.

[FREEDOM!]

*Gets up* Actually i'm feeling alot better now! Orders another steak.

[Frodorocks]

If you wish Craig. *goes and finely slices some disgusting looking eyeballs and sets them on a plate* Here y'are!:) Wow! My weird concoction is popular:eek: Hey legoman, I was wondering, do you have some sort of weird obsession with strawberries? I've noticed on some other posts you've mentioned them too.:D *dashes off to make some more steaks*

[Wonko The Sane]

Yay! I'm scary!
But I'm not scary in real life.
Terribly sexy...hmm...maybe. Scary...no.

*wonders if she should be drinking Smirnoff Ice and posting on TTF at the same time*

Probably not.

*orders a strawberry steak*

[Frodorocks]

Yay! The official bartender is back!:D You're much better at it than I. *Puts Wonko's steak in front of her with a florish*:p When are we going to take that pizza out?

[Wonko The Sane]

Oh shoot!!! *Rushes to the oven with her team of highly specialized and trained orcs and they deftly maneuver the perfect pizza from the oven. Then pushing many tables together they lay it out. Wonks grabs Snaga's scimtar from his belt and begins to cut the pizza into gigantic slices, handing each his own*

Enjoy!!!

[Frodorocks]

*Bites into her veggie-ized piece.* Mmmm, good.:)

[Wonko The Sane]

*sits in a corner and hides in the darkness alone, watching everyone else eat their pizza*

[Frodorocks]

*Glances at the sinister;) figure in the shadows and can't help but think of Aragorn*

[legoman]

hmm, weird obsession, no I don't thinkn so htough I was just talking about them with menchu, perhaps I do and its sub-concious, hmmm. Either way who cares, they are very nice. Especially in milkshakes.


*doesn't let wonko st on her own*
'here wonks have some STRAWBERRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

[Wonko The Sane]

*makes a sad face and eats a strawberry*

Legoman...my passport is LATE.

[???]

Hello, get me a hotdog.

[Frodorocks]

Yes, strawberries are nice, but cactus pears are much better.:D Don't worry Wonks! Your passport will come really soon!

[Wonko The Sane]

*Looks at the newcomer*

I'm sorry...perhaps you'd like to say please.

Then, I, the bartender, will gladly grill you a hotdog.

*mumbles something about the nerve of people walking into all her bars and demanding hotdogs.*

[FREEDOM!]

*Walks in*

Get me a hotdog.







Sorry, i couldn't resist.

Where's my strawberry steak?

[Wonko The Sane]

*Tosses her head back as she laughs and tosses a hotdog at S(A, lodging it in his ear.*

Anything else I can get for you, sir? *she winks as she sets a steak in front of him and covers it in sweet, fresh strawberry sauce*

You know, they do eat chicken with chocolate...this strawberry steak business might actually be good! ;)

[Frodorocks]

They curry meats and dip them in yogurt too.:) I'll try the strawberry steak for real sometime, if I ever get a scanner I'll post some pics of the look on my face when I try it!:D

[Wonko The Sane]

Hehe.
Oh great Sandwich Maker from Bob, tell us of your travels!

[Frodorocks]

I have traveled for many years from a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away! Oh, wait, wrong book/movie!:D

[Wonko The Sane]

*giggles*

And please, tell us the correct "whipability" for a breadknife!
*bows*

[FREEDOM!]

*pulls the hotdog out of his ear* ohh thank you!

[Frodorocks]

Uh, slight to moderate?:confused: I don't really remember.:D

[Wonko The Sane]

;) Oh great Sandwich Maker from Bob, please tell me the desirable width for a slice of bread.

[Frodorocks]

:D 2.0000000000001111111111111777777777 inches!:D Who's you're favourite character from THHGTTG?:)

[Wonko The Sane]

I like Arthur and Ford....but I can't decide which is cooler.

Hehe. Snaga reminds me of Arthur in his silly simplicity about seemingly complicated things and his love of tea. ;)

Snaga thought it was an insult and I told him lovable ineptitude appealed to me.

He didn't find that amusing. :) I meant it though. Hehe.

And of course Wonko the Sane. :)

[Frodorocks]

I like Ford, because he's crazier. Deciding to go insane to see if he likes it... sounds like something I would do.:D How could you forget Zem(or something like that) the matteress?:mad: :D ;)

[Wolfshead]

I shall add my favourite also. Well, my two favourites, Arthur and Ford. Some of their conversations are just great.

Par exemple, "Ford, you're turning into a penguin... Stop it!".

And also,

Ford: What would you say if I said I wasn't from Guildford after all, but from a small planet in the vicinity of Beetlejuice?"

Arthur: Why? Is it the kind of thing you're likely to say?

[Frodorocks]

Betelguese!:mad: ;) Beetlejuice reminds me of a dead guy in a bad movie.:p (movies?)

[Wolfshead]

Sorry 'bout that, I haven't read the book for a few years, so I was going on hearing the radio series and the TV series :o

[legoman]

don't say that, the radio series came first it is the original that the others were based on. you talk like it is inferior.

wonko, what do you mean no passport????????? are you still coming over????

[Wolfshead]

Oh, no. The radio series is magnificent, but it doesn't tell you how to spell the words. I was apologising for spelling it wrongly. Not that it really matters, all formats of THHGttG are great :D

[Frodorocks]

I was just teasing. I don't care how it's spelled.:p Are The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul and Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency(or something like that) part of THHGTTG? I've searched through Barnes and Nobles and Walden Books and I can't find them anywhere, not even in this huge volume of all of THHGTTG.:confused: :D

[Frodorocks]

[Wonko The Sane]

They are NOT part of THHGTTG, rather they are works on their own.

And they're hard to find as I believe they're out of print. :-/
I found ONE copy of Dirk Gently in my University Library..and I haven't been able to find Tea-Time anywhere but the internet.

Hmmm...

And no. No passport yet.
They say it takes up to 6 weeks to get it and I only went at the beginning of the month.
I couldn't call them today cos it was a holiday but tomorrow I'll call, have a rush put on it, and get it in a couple of days no problem.

:) I'm totally still coming!

[Wolfshead]

[Frodorocks]

I haven't read The Mallorean or The Belgariad yet either. Couldn't find them. (Oh the horrors of small town libraries:D ) but I did find book three of The Elenium, and book one of The Tamuli(I think it's called that) Domes of Fire. You're right, David Eddings is quite a good author.:)

[legoman]

I havent read them either, books suck.. hehe what a thing to say on a tolkien forum hehe. I wonder if I get an instant banning for that?

Damn those passport people.



actually I just finished my first Robert Ranking book, he's ace

[Wonko The Sane]

The passport will be here by Saturday, and I got out of Jury Duty...
Now all I have to do to ensure I get to Snaga is get on a plane!

[Frodorocks]

Yay for the passport!!!!!!!!!:D :D Hooray! I will try my hardest to find The Belgariad, I'd scour the bottom of the oceans to find it if I have to!:D Read The Tamuli, it's good, but kind of confusing if you haven't read The Elenium. You should read more Legoman. There's nothing better than when you have a big honking stack of books in front of you, and then you start out reading in the afternoon, read all night, finish the stack by dawn, and go to sleep.:D Try it!

[Wonko The Sane]

AH! That sounds JUST like me!
:) I LOVE reading!
Snaga was like, "We should cuddle up and read together that would be fun."

That's how much I love reading. :)

[Frodorocks]

Wow! I've finally met another person that doesn't think that my favourite hobby is boring!:D Rock on Wonks!

[Wonko The Sane]

My favourite hobby too!!

:) We should start a club.

[Snaga]

The Belgariad sucks. I read it years ago. Six volumes in which admittedly you keep turning the pages as though compelled by a mysterious force even though the plot is transparent, and you hate the characters intensely. The more it continues the more you live in desperate hope that somehow the author will pull a plot twist out of the bag, something that will surprise you ... something that you desperately hope will involve the death of most, and preferably all, of the cast.

But it never happens.

So in case you were considering reading it let me spoil it for you:

Good defeats evil.
Boy marries girl.
And everyone live happily ever after.

Hello everyone by the way. Can I have a cup of darjeeling please?

[legoman]

Good defeats evil.
Boy marries girl.
And everyone live happily ever after.

Whats wrong with that???
sounds fine to me.
Can I be 'boy'??

[Frodorocks]

That would be great Wonks!:) (Wonders to herself about how many other book-nutters there are out there) You wouldn't get too much reading in if you tried to read with Snaga. Reading with guys is distracting. You start out reading, then playfully hit each other with twigs, and eventually you'll try to throw each other into a river.:) *Is aware that no one knows what the heck she's talking about, and shrugs it off*:D Hi Snaga! It's good to have you back!:) I think you'd be better suited for "evil" Legoman.;) Edit: Oh, wait! I've been forgetting to tell you guys for a couple of days: I tried my strawberry steak invention!:p It was actually all right, but not prefferable.

[Wolfshead]

And everyone live happily ever after. Hmm. Well, when we all read LOTR, couldn't we tell Frodo would destroy the Ring? The outcome may be obvious, that doesn't stop the story from being compelling. Ce'Nedra (the princess) did annoy me, but other than that, the characters were all quite nice people, except the bad guys, of course.

And can't so many books be based around that plot outline?

I guess it's just tastes here, I would rank it up near the top of my list with Robert Jordan and David Gemmell.

And there were only 5 parts, 10 if you include The Mallorean ;) :p

[Wonko The Sane]

Snaga's just in a bad mood cos his hydraulics work isn't cooperating.

While I'm sure he meant what he said I'm sure he didn't mean to ruin things for you.

Continue reading at your leisure. I will attempt to snuggle Snaga into submission and make him play nice.

*Goes and sits in Snaga's lap and kisses his nose*

Mwah!

[Wolfshead]

Well, I've read it, so I don't mind having the stroy spoiled :rolleyes:

[Wonko The Sane]

Yeah, but Roxie might.

If she minds I'll bake her a cake or something. :) I feel like baking.

[Frodorocks]

Nah, he didn't ruin it for me.:D Can I be 'boy'?? instead of baking cakes, we should find legoman a girlfriend. Won't that be fun Wonks? *evil grin*

[Wonko The Sane]

It would be...
But I don't think Legoman would appreciate me trying to find him a girlfriend...
He knows who I'd pick for him. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

I think I know who it is!:D *Runs off laughing, proud of herself* That would probably make them both angry though.

[Wonko The Sane]

Undoubtedly.

He only knows cos Utried to do it before. :)

[legoman]

*cough*
I don't think you have realised that I am still here.
I've warned you two about this before.
You're just trouble makers you are.

You can't find me anybody, you don't even know me...
I'm 56 and I've got 12 fingers.
see I lied about everything.

[Wonko The Sane]

I've spoken with you on the phone!
And I do know Snaga and he assures me that you are not 56 with 12 fingers.

And since soon I will know you for real I can then find you someone.

How about...Roxie?

[Frodorocks]

Have you ever read my profile? I'm 14, surely, don't you think that's a little young? Too bad I don't know many British girls. Remember when I tried to find you a British guy Wonks?:D You did better on your own. Have I tried to hook up Legoman before? I don't remember it, must've been sleep walking or drunk or something.*Although I've never been drunk before. Or at least I've never been drunk and remembered it.":p

[Wonko The Sane]

I sort of tried to hook him up before...
I meant I not U...
Hehe.

:)
And Legoman's only 19...that's not too old for a 14 year old. ;)

[legoman]

Ladies, come on now, don't make me change the subject here, cos i will I excell at that!!! Its a defense mechanism of mine! but I do have 12 fingers, 8 of them are mine, I keep the others in a special box.

[Frodorocks]

Who's were they?:D

[Wolfshead]

I don't bother posting for 3 days, and everyone's gone! Loads of busy threads have been dry, and this, frankly, is disgraceful ;)

Just because Wonks has gone to England doesn't mean the rest of us get to slack. Well, it may be a case of no one having anything useful to post. Which is certainly the case with me...

[Frodorocks]

I have something useful we can do! Take down the Christmas decorations!:D We haven't ever done that yet! (Yep, you're right, we just can't think of anything.:D )

[Wolfshead]

You mean to say the Christmas decorations are still up! Damn. They're the supposed to be taken down on the 6th of January, aren't they? Not that I'm that bothered.

Well, better start taking them down, hadn't you?

[Frodorocks]

*Pulls down the popcorn garlands* Eww! They've grown mold!:D *Hands the Christmas Elf a bar of soap and tells him to go wash up. Continues to busily take down the decorations whilst looking for good places to hang her shamrocks for St. Patrick's day*:D

[Wolfshead]

*Sits in corner smoking comical bubble-blowing pipe drinking a pint whilst making snide comments about Frodorocks' tidying skills*

[legoman]

ARGH, stop. you can't do that. If you miss the taking down date for christmas decorations, you have to leave them up until the next year, otherwise it's bad luck. Anyway, I like having a tree in the corner of the room.

So who wants a cup of tea? I've got PG or Yorkshire tea.

[Frodorocks]

*Sets tree back up, but puts little clovers all over it* Happy?!:D I like green, people should celebrate St.Patrick's all year round. Or at least have a lot of green all year round, St.Patrick was a moron. Priceless scripts with all of the legends and stories of the ancient celts where burnt by that guy.:mad:

[TheFool]

I'll have the PG plz legoman, do I get a plasticene bird or a real live chimp to go with that :cool:

When is St Patricks day, I can never remember :confused: And is it pancake day soon? Have we missed it? Do we need a huge stack of pancakes?

*adopts a thoughtful pose and drinks tea*

[Wolfshead]

I can never remember when St Patricks day is either. I'm not Irish. St Andrew's day, though, I can tell you that's the 31st of November :) Shrove Tuesday is a Tuesday :rolleyes: But I can't say when, I think it's gone.

Come to think of it, I can't even remember St George's day. Something around the 14th of April or so...

[Frodorocks]

St. Patrick's is on March 17th.:) That's one of the reasons I like Scotland, it's nice and green like Ireland without all the turmoil and strife.:D

[Wolfshead]

Green? Hmm, maybe a little, it's fairly brown around here, or a brownish green. But I suppose it will get greener.

There's heather as well, brownish purple.

I suppose further south it's greener. It's also greener in England :rolleyes:

What a great word, "greener" :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

Greener is a great word!:D From what I've seen Scotland's really nice and green and beautiful. It'll get greener in the spring I suppose. Even if it stays brown, I'll still love Scotland. It's such a great place.:)

[Wolfshead]

It is indeed a splendid place. Except for the sheep, of course. Gotta hate those sheep.

[FREEDOM!]

I sooooo badly want to go to Scotland.

[Wolfshead]

I can't blame you, there's a multitude of stuff to do for the average teenager... :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

I'm used to it.:rolleyes: I bet I live farther into mthe middle of nowhere than you.:D Poor sheep.

[FrankSinatra]

Scotland is a lovely country, its just full of Scots.

England is the place you should go.

[Frodorocks]

But Scots are the best! I love Scots! But England is a great place, you're right.:D Btw, Welcome to the forum FrankSinatra!:D :D

[Wolfshead]

Well, 3 miles from a village. 20 minutes from school, an hour from the nearest place with a record store or cinema. Can you beat that? :p

It seems a lot of people like quoting that line, or partially, from Braveheart :rolleyes: I used to live in England, and while there is more there, Scotland is a much more scenic place.

[FrankSinatra]

"Scotland is a much more scenic place."

:eek:

When i saw Braveheart, i actually found myself rooting for the English, and wishing that someone would cut off Mel Gibsons head, stupid accend, kiddies face paint, skirt and all.

;)

[Wolfshead]

Well, I can only hope you are joking with that, the ;) I hope means you are. The English really were as described, how people could live like that, I don't know. Disgusting, frankly.

People should read the Rigante series by David Gemmell. The third book gets onto about the time of Bruce and Wallace. It's not exactly the same, but it's a good allegory.

[FREEDOM!]

Braveheart is my fav movie ever!!!!!!!

[Wolfshead]

I wouldn't say it was my favourite film, but it's fairly high on my list. That Irish guy is great, although his part is unrealistic, he's just so damned funny!

[FREEDOM!]

Ya, hes hilarious.....

"The good Lord says He can get me out of this but you, your screwed."

"I didn't like that guy anyways. He just wasn't right in the head."

[Frodorocks]

FrankSinatra, you'd better be joking!:mad: Skirts and all, they fight tough! That's how they got the nickname ladies from he**!:mad:

[FrankSinatra]

They fought tough. But never won anything.

The English were and still are too good for them.

Scottish Nationalism will never get them anywhere.

[FREEDOM!]

Actually if you really watched the movie you would now that, the queen was pregnant with Williams child, and she was going to be queen, not her husband. So in the end Williams child would rule England, so technicly he won.

[Frodorocks]

I'm 5 minutes from a village, 10 from school, and 30 from the nearest record store or cinema, so I guess you do have me beaten for middle of nowhereness.:D I don't care what they won, Scotland's still better than England, but England is still a great place, so can we stop all of this before a fight breaks out?:)

[Wolfshead]

Ok, bearing in mind what Rockie said...

Frank: England, at the moment, has 10 times the population of Scotland. Yet we have done better than can be expected considering those odds.

Freedom: Bear in mind that the thing about the queen being pregnant was fabricated. Wallace never would have met the queen. That's a really stupid part of the film, in my opinion.

[Frodorocks]

Good Craig, we can't have any fighting.:D

[FREEDOM!]

K, no fighting, but it's still a good movie!

[FrankSinatra]

But lets not forget who counted himself as English.

Of course he was South African by birth, but never mind.

[Wolfshead]

[TheFool]

*tries desperately to remember a quote from the tea-room scene in Withnail & I*

gaah... can't :D . I'll just help myself to another pair of quadruple whiskies instead ;)

[legoman]

hhmm, withnail and I, I can't dcide whether I like that or not yet. First time I saw it it just bugged me. Ah well, I'll watch it again see what i think.
I've come to the decision there are far too many films where people smoking drugs feature heavily.

Anyway, I'm off to the shops cos we've run out of eggs and I havent had the amount of pancakes I should've eaten yesterday, so I am officially making this pancake month!

[Wolfshead]

I've never seen that, maybe I will some day. Is it me making things up, or was Jimmy Nail in that film as well?

Anyone watch Posh Nosh? It's got Richard E Grant, and it's hilarious, really, it is :D

And I hoped he'd be Lupin in the next HP film. He's not.

[TheFool]

Can't remember Jimmy Nail being in it.... it's much more about booze than drugs. There's a suicidal drinking game where you have to drink what they drink in the film (lighter fluid optional):D

mmm.... pancakes.....

[Wolfshead]

I think I probably made myself think Jimmy Naill was in it. With it being Withnail 'n all :rolleyes:

[legoman]

Jimmy Naill was definately not in it. It did have that annoying fat guy out of pie in the sky though. He was quite disturbing in it!
but he'll never beat the part he played in gormenghast.

[Wolfshead]

Oh, yeah, him. Richard something-or-other. I didn't really like Gormenghast, I just didn't liked the disgusting nature of a lot of the characters. Maybe I'd like it now, I dunno, maybe if it's repeated.

No you don't. I love the sheep. I made Snaga stop to take a picture of them on the way back from Bath. :) And every time I'd pass one I'd shout "SHEEPS" even though I'm well aware that it's not a word. ;)

And just for the record, England is quite beautiful as well. I've fallen in love with this place....
It's just so gorgeous.

For some reason even if you could see the exact same countryside in America it's better if it's English. :)

(Except for downtown Coventry. ;) )

And you have to dose them, clip their feet, help shear them, and chase them round and round fields during the lambing. Then, I can guarantee you will not like them :p

[tookish-girl]

A coward you are Withnail! An expert on bulls you are not!
That's one of my favourite lines in that movie.

How can legoman not like it? What's wrong with you? You're losing your normal grip on liking extremely cool stuff!

"We're young multi-millionaires......"

[legoman]

Dude, tell me what there is to like...
I enjoyed parts, but not all, perhaps it will grow on me, like a fine wine. we shall see. Mind you I did watch it at about 3am after a bottle of wine, so perhaps I missed some of it.
I shall watch it again and get back to you all.

and sheep are great. especially mable.

[Wolfshead]

Who's Mable? :confused:

[tookish-girl]

Mabel is a song about a sheep by the utterly brilliant Sack Trcik. The lyrics of which are completely unsuitable for this site!

Well, what about the scene where they try to wash the pots? Don't attempt anything without the rubber gloves!!!

Or the scene in the tea-shop as previously mentionned. The very batty uncle Monty with his radish in his buttonhole because he prefers vegetables to flowers.

And of course the chicken:How do we make it dead?

Ahhhhh! priceless! Plus it has Jimi Hendrix and Beatles songs in the soundtrack!

[TheFool]

I do not advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in de employment of the Government. Hair are your aerials; they pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain - [shrugs] dis is the reason bald-headed men are uptight...

What absolute twoddle! OK I promise to stop quoting now :D

[tookish-girl]

Oh man, what a great quote, TheFool!

We're watching Withnail next week for my British Cinema class. Something to do with anti-Thactherism in film. Interesting.

I'm just looking forward to seeing it on the fairly big screen that our lecture theatre has. My friend met Paul McGann yesterday, she went to see his play in London and he walked into the foyer as she was standing there. Got his autograph, lucky lucky lucky!

Has anyone actualy tried the drinking game, by the way? I'm game!

[legoman]

what are the rules again?

nice disclaimer!

[tookish-girl]

Thanks, the disclaimer's been up for about 2 months now!

Anyway, you simply have to match the characters drink by drink, including the lighter fluid!

I'm pretty sure if you do it, you'dbe dead before they leave London and rigor mortis would have set in by the time they reach the tea shop!

[legoman]

And you're up for that???

you're getting stranger by the second.

[Wolfshead]

[legoman]

Actually I didn't like that film much. It went along with the full monty as in pants films about factory workers who can't think of anything interesting to do.

Doesn't say a lot for factory workers in my book. All the things in the world and they thought, lets blow our own trumpets.

[Wolfshead]

Ok, so I don't know a lot about factory workers, having never worked in a factory myself, nor know anyone who does.

Another British film then, and this ranks 3rd in my top films list, When Saturday Comes with Sean Bean. A brilliant film!

[TheFool]

*makes large pot of tea. As things are a bit quiet, activates remote control big screen, film for tonight: 'The Commitments' :D . Settles into corner armchair*

[Frodorocks]

*Looks around nervously, for she knows nothing of the present topic of conversation. British films, AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*:D

[menchu]

Hehehe, I introduced my friend Lindsay to this room yesterday and she loved the lot of you! :D :cool:

[Wolfshead]

Well, that's not exactly surprising is it? I mean, we're all absoloutely splendid people ;)

[legoman]

I'm not, I'm wretched, rather like mum-ra actually.

[menchu]

What's mum-ra?

[legoman]

this is 'mum-ra the ever-living'

The thundercat's enemy and possible the most evil thing that ever lived!

[tookish-girl]

Whoa, whoa whoa!
Legoman, are you telling me that you don't like Withnail and I, Brassed Off or The Full Monty???

What's the matter with you, man?
Actually I didn't like that film much. It went along with the full monty as in pants films about factory workers who can't think of anything interesting to do.

Have you missed the point of these films? They are about people who have been laid off work. In Brassed off, the only thing they have left to keep their community going is the brass band whih is why they strive to keep it going after the pit closes and in The Full Monty, they resort to stripping becuase it's the only way they can get some serious money, and in one case, that's needed to so Robert Carlisle's character can see his son.

And they're sooooo funny! I'm really confoosed, you don't seem to like any cool films anymore. You'll be saying you don't like Trainspotting next! You should be imprisonned in a large pyramid type thing, Mum-ra!

[Vixen Evenstar]

Hey Legoman person! What is a humourous bombawatchamacallit????

[tookish-girl]

A Humourous Bombadillian!

We are a pretty motley crew of people who we give awards to for being funny. It's completely unofficial and unorganised. It's almost like a sign that this person shouldn't really be taken too seriously! We rule! :D

[Frodorocks]

Tell Lindsay that we love her too Menchu!:D Yay for funny people!:D

[Vixen Evenstar]

aoh...i get it....you mean funny when they don't mean to be? Or just funny....

shoot..i just confused myself again....:mad:

[Orclord1990]

can I get your finest wine and some weed for my pipe if you can?

[menchu]

I will Roxy ;)

*wonders where the bartender Wonko is as this Orclord has ordered some wine* Hmm... I would love a sprite with a lemon slice at the top an a tiny umbrella...

[Frodorocks]

Thanks:D I nominated myself the back up bartender when Wonks isn't around awhile ago , so I hope she won't mind, people are thirsty!:D *Gets Orclord his wine.* I would reccomend Old Toby, the finest weed in the South Farthing. *Fills his pipe.* *Pours Menchu a sprite, slices a lemon wedge, and puts it on top.* What colour do you want your umbrella to be?:)

[tookish-girl]

Hey Bartender!
Can I have a cup of tea with an umbrella in it please?
And a nice scone or two, with cream and strawberry jam. Ahhhh, this is the life!

p.s. Purple umbrella!

[menchu]

Hehe, mine orange with yellow flowers, please.
And I think I will like some of those delicious scones too *yum*

[legoman]

ooops, thinks he might be in trouble about some films...

*tries to run out the back door*

*fails*

gna, sorry but I do think the full monty was totally pants, I know you probably think I'm saying it cos it was about male strippers or whatever but I just got bored during it. and brassed off, well it was a bit better but it wasn't that much better. Withnail is growing on me, we've borrowed the video and I will watch it again and probably like it. You have to take into consideration it was a saturday night at about 2am when we decided to watch it and well if it was anything like last saturday - at will and bobs with you lot - well you're lucky I remember any of it.

Trainspottings ace, that bit when he swims in the toilet - hehe, love that!

*Sets an orange umbrella with yellow flowers in Menchu's sprite and slides it over.* *Gets out some warm, buttery scones and puts them on two plates. Hands the first one to Menchu, whilst putting cream and strawberry jam onto Tookish's and handing it to her.* Of course I've got sasparilla, Lego, when you're a magical back up bartender, you have everything. *Pours the sasparilla, considers dumping it in his lap, decides against it, and hands it to him*:D
