The British Army Barracks Tea-Room

[tookish-girl]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh scones! Marvellous! You're the best magical barman ever!

Shame we're in an army barracks really, we could do with having tea on the lawn!
Well, legoman I'm sorry I railed at you about all those films. It's just that it drives me mad when people don't seem to get really really good films. It's the film student part of me!

[legoman]

Haha, its alright I figured you have a bit of passion for these things and thats why I decided next time you disagree with me over the importance of inductance in the main power grid and the delivery of transmissions via radiowaves, I'll let you off. hehe.

Oh and Roxy I don't want a sasparilla, I just wondered if you had any. tut tut. Nah, I've given up alcohol, Its yuck. so could I have a fresh orange please - thank you.
Oh and if theres anyone out there who wants a sasparilla, this ones all yours
*holds it up for all to see*

[tookish-girl]

Oooooooooh yes please, apperently this is a bit like root beer. You know there's some American things I really miss.
Wait! This is a British bar!

*immediately jumps behind the bar to try to remove all the Bud light, low calorie berrs and other American useless things*

Right, now let's have some proper good ol' Ale!

[legoman]

but proper ale come from belgium!!!!

haha, there was one of those faking it p[rograms on saturday night about a beer drinker who had to become a wine guy - he was rubbihs - he didn't drink proper beer, just the rubbish 'lite' stufffrom the big american chains! he lost - hehe.


but well, here you go took - enjoy the sasparilla!

[tookish-girl]

Why thankyou, legoman. But I think I'll leave it for a while lest I become a bit inebriated!

Actaully, is spasperella alcoholic?

Anyway, i think I might just have a kit-kat or two if we think it can be arranged?

[legoman]

heck I don't know. I just remember they order it in westerns, which suggests it is. hmmm, I dunno. well its yours now anyway!

have a penguin instead, they're better!!!

[tookish-girl]

Yes, penguins are better. Do you suppose they'll ever have penguins on the moon?
Ho ho.

Yeah, spasperella, Doris Day drank it in Calamity Jane rather a lot. Think it's a soft drink. Well, it's American anyway.

Right, toodle pip everyone, chin chin! I'm going to depart. This is entirely so I can make a big entrence when i come back

*Everyone laughs at Tookish's wit. She walks towrds the door of the Barracks, blowing kisses to everyone as they shower her with flowers and wring their hankerchieves in grief at her departure*

I'll be back. Adios.

[Frodorocks]

*Is mortified that she forgot Tookish's tea with the purple umbrella, so she throws some purple umbrellas after her as well.* I can't be the best magical bartender ever, I forgot the tea! :( (but thanks anyways:D ) *Plucks an orange off of the orange tree growing in the corner and hands it to lego*

[tookish-girl]

*drum roll*

Tookish bursts through the door as several pyrotechic things go off and a troup of hobbit runs in and do the springle-ring dance.

"Ta daaaaaaaaaaa!"

Everyone stares,especially Frodorocks who's still standing there holding Tookish's tea.

*Makes note that one should not attempt a dramatic entrance unless one goes away for a longer length of time......*

Leaves again, gratefully taking the tea first (and the purple umbrella)

I still would. Sheeps are great! :) Hehe. Snaga's friend is a sheep farmer man. :) That's sooo ace!

I'm back now!
I can once again bartend with a vengence!!!

*cartwheels through the door*

[Frodorocks]

YaY! :D Welcome back Wonks. How was England?:)

[menchu]

*grabs her Sprite and approaches the side of the bar where the conversation is alive* (but first goes up to the jukebox and plays some song by Dashboard Confessional) *on her way to the bar chokes on the lemon slice* *coughs* *coughs twice* *gets over it* *manages to sit next to Roxy and Tookish* *adopts an interesting, thoughtful pose* *gives her first sip to the fizzy drink* *blinks repeatedly while feels the gas bubbles through her nose* *looks like a kettle* *awaits for Wonko to reveal all adventures in the islands*

[legoman]

*Swaggers across the room*
Sorry I always wanted to do that. And no, it still looks stupid.
*orders a tea, yorkshire tea, like tea used to be*
'Can I have a tea please, milk and 1.5 sugars, thank you very much'
*slouches across the bar like as if he was the legendary clint eastwood and he was keeping an eye out for bad guys with guns yet also managing to look really really cool while drinking a cup of tea through a purple curly straw*
'schurhchsuchrsch'
*that was the slurping sound of the last little bit that you can never get out of the bottom of the cup without making the annoying slurping noise I mentioned a second ago*

*Sits down*
'no appropriate sound effect available'
*is quiet*
'---'
*falls of barstool*
'ouch, damnnit'

[Frodorocks]

Nice sound effects.:D

[Beorn]

How about:
'crick crackle CRACK THUD'

:D

[Frodorocks]

Hi Beorn, welcome to the very best thread in the whole Green Dragon Inn section!:D

[legoman]

How about :
'crick crackle CRACK THUD'

Hmmm, you must sit down very strangly beorn. Or do you just wear really weird trousers?

[tookish-girl]

Sssssssshhhhhh!

I'm not really here. I've just drank all of my tea and I'd like another cup since it's so cold outside and I'm camped out on the doorstep trying to think of and interesting entrance again.

*Takes a Yorkshire tea from the vending machine in the corner to avoid being seen and stealthily creeps outside again*

[Vixen Evenstar]

*Comes in and wonders why Tookish-girl is creeping around*

[legoman]

vixen, welcome.
Grab a drink.

Hey are you the same vixen from the animals of farthing wood?

[Wolfshead]

I doubt she's heard of The Animals Of Farthing Wood, legoman ;)

And that reminds me, I have a video of that lying in my room that I got half way through watching. I think I will have to finish it then give it back to the mate I borrowed it from...

[legoman]

poor girl, that was one of my favourite programs. I taught myself how to play it on piano - not that it wsa hard, but it was a good party piece and EVERYBODY knew it straight away!!!

how cool was badger?!!
wow a video. All hail you!

[Wolfshead]

That was a good theme, I think I have it lying around my old computer somewhere!

Badger was alright, but Fox was probably the best, and Toad, he was good. But Owl, she was annoying, all those clichés, continuously.

There was a scene, I think it was in the second series or thereabouts, that haunted me at the time, and is quite disturbing for 6 year old. There were some baby voles (I think) and they were impaled on a thorn bush by some evil somethings. There was blood and everything. As I said, quite disturbing...

I loved that program though, it was great.

I AM scary. And busy. Snaga's tongue needs attention.

Was that out loud just now? *evil grins*

England was GREAT Roxie...and though I'm glad to be back here with my dad and everything...I really miss Snaga....

Anyone want a drink?

[Idril]

Idril glides into the room and glances around...

"anyone about?" She thinks to herself - I could really do with a nice mug of hot chocolate. It's absolutely horrible outside - wind and rain. - shaking the rain droplets of her cloak. She takes a seat in the corner (is there a fire place in here?) and fishes out her book written by some man names Tolkien? and starts to read....

[Frodorocks]

That's great Wonks.:) Yay, tomorrow I get to go see my favourite uncle and talk to him about his trip to England and Scotland.:D

[legoman]

Whistle, whistler was a dude, poor bird had been shot and survived!

anyway, wonks, could I grab another ribena, cheers.

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks goes to her big drink machine and starts heating the milk for the hot chocolate as she adds the purest cocoa powder and sugar to a large mug. Then she adds the steaming milk to the mixture and carries it on a tray to Idril. Smiling she goes to her cooler, grabs a bottle of Ribena and pours it into a chipped Peter Rabbit mug for Legoman.*

There ya go, mate! Cheers!

[Idril]

'Thanks you' - Idril glances up from her large book and gracefully accepts the hot chocolate
'Hey Legoman, I like the mug - though maybe it's time to invest in a new one - it looks as if it's been in the wars' - the drape of Idril's long hair hiding a small smile. She gingerly sips at the steaming mug.
'Great chocolate - best I've tasted Wonks!' Idril then returns to her book which seems to be a story about elves, hobbits and a ring. 'Hmmm'

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks beams proudly and curtsies*

I'm glad you like it, Idril! Let me know if you need a refill. But don't worry about Legoman's mug. It's like HIS mug. He always uses it. :)

[Idril]

'thanks, I think will have another, but I need to find the loo first':(
Idril hands her mug back to Wonks and shifts uneasily on her seat.

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks gestures towards a door in the back of the Tea-Room.*
"It's to the left, before you go up the stairs. I'll make you another hot chocolate!"

*Wonks whips up another chocolate and places it at Idril's place before she even returns from the restroom.*

[Idril]

Not quite fast enough.
'Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh' Idril rushes back into the room, pale and breathless. 'There's a big spider in there!' Idril shivers, 'I hate spiders'.

[Wonko The Sane]

*Arianne arches her eyebrows.*

"How big? Like Shelob big? Or just Tarantula big enough to eat a bird big? Or maybe Daddy Long Legs big?"

[Idril]

'Arhmmmm. This big' Idril arms spread wide apart. Idril now sitting and rocking, hugging herself.

[Wonko The Sane]

So like...baby Shelob big...Hmm. We'll see about that.

*Wonks pulls on her tough leather gloves and casts her cloak aside, revealing her full leather body suit, she stalks to the bathroom to meet the spider. A loud crash is heard as she kicks the door in and then a gale of laughter follows. She returns shortly leading a small blue-black spider by a leash.*

It's just Izzy!! He's kind of a pet around here. Usually he stays upstairs in the barracks but I guess he wanted some tea. :)

*She pours some tea into a saucer and lets Izzy drink it up.*

[Idril]

'a pet??????' a big shiver runs over Idril and she faints....

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks gets some ice and a small canister of grated orange peel to wave under Idril's nose. As she does the citrusy smell wafts into Idril's nostrisl and slowly brings her back to consciousness. Wonks pulls some of Idril's hair away from her face as she puts some ice wrapped in a towell against her forehead.*

I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fainted. Are you ok?

*She gestures to Izzy to go hide behind the bar and the arachnid quickly ducks out of sight*

Izzy's a friend. He'd never hurt anyone. He's really like an eight-legged dog...He's not even poisonous. And he's just a baby. He was the runt of the litter. His brood mother bit him to poison and kill him when she saw he wasn't growing like the others. He's kind of a fluke of nature. Small for his breed and venomless. Snaga and I found him while on a mission in the mountains. We brought him back to health and then brought him here. He's like a mascot, and as sweet as sugar! Give him a chance!

[Idril]

Idril sits up with Wonks help and takes her seat again, holding the ice and citru peal to her her.

'if you say so' she says doubtfully, glancing nervously round the room for the monster. ' I definitly need to go to the loo now1' she says urgently. Idril stands up unsteadily and glides to the the back room again.

[legoman]

*Legoman looks round*
'Here boy, come on, here boy'
*Izzy bounds over*
'There you go, whos a good boy then, who is who is, you are'
*he lets Izzy drink some of his ribena before finishing it off and signalling the wonks for a fill up*
'Cheers wonks, just fill it up to peters blue coat this time, I'm not to thirsty at the minute'
*Izzy pines*
'Oh OK, fill her all up, Izzy wants some more I think.'

[tookish-girl]

The door swings open. An 89 piece swing orchestra burst in playing "Diamond's are A Girl's Best Friend" Tookish makes her grand enterance on a trapeze:

"Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! There's a spiderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !"

She runs out screaming followed by 87 of the swing muscians two of which decide to stay in the corner and see if they can get any free drinks (well, that's what all band members do after gigs isn't it?)

[Idril]

*At the scream, Idril slowly and nervously glances into the room* She mutter to herself "that spider's still in here!, I can't get out!"

"HELP! - anyone here? Can someone hold on to that spider, so I can leave!" Idril shouts in a tremulous voice.

*she waits.........*

[legoman]

Izzy, you hungry?
Yeah, theres a this Idril in the corner, no one knows her, we wont miss her, just don't leave any evidence alright?
*Izzy nods then turns round*
*Izzy stalks over to Idril who faints*


*Izzy licks Idril*





'Hahahahahaha!!!'



Izzys a vegetarian spider!!!!!!!!!!

[Idril]

*Idril slowly regains consciousness with Izzy leaning menacingly over her, licking her face*
"Ar..............."
*Her scream is stiffled in her throat and she backs away, sliding along the floor and dashes back into the loo - locking the door. Someone was out there laughing at her!*

[menchu]

Menchu watches from her seat.
'Aaah, beautiful creature...' says while approaching the spider.
'where are you from, what continent?'

[Frodorocks]

*Goes over and pets Izzy* Aww, you're such a cute spider!:) With a tongue to lick Idril with! You must be a big fluke of nature, it's very unusual for spiders to have tongues!:D

[Wonko The Sane]

'Oh OK, fill her all up, Izzy wants some more I think.'

*Wonks grins and fills Legoman's mug up to Peter's blue coat, and Izzy's dish up with Ribena as well.*

There you go!

Izzy's from the dark places of middle earth.

And YES Roxy, he is sort of a strange form of Spider. Vegetarian. No poison glands. And a tongue.
Among other things.

He's a fluke of nature. But not a freak! *scratches Izzy's neck*

*Wonks then gets up and walks towards the loo, she opens the door and call's Idril's name. She finds Idril cowering in one of the stalls, with the door shut. Taking Idril by the hand she leads her through the door and up the stairs to the rooms above the bar.*

Here. Lie down for a while to compose yourself and then if you wish to leave you can go down the back stairs at the opposite end of the hallway along the inn bedrooms.

*Wonks then pulls a small vial from her magic pockets*

Or you could take this, and come down and meet Izzy.

*Idril reads the label out loud*

"Liquid Courage"

*Wonks smiles and nods.*

It's not alcohol, but it does give you courage. Take this and you'll find yourself ready to conquer anything. Even Izzy. ;)
And when it wears off you'll find that you aren't afraid of him anymore.

*Wonks grins*

Now to find Tookish...

[Idril]

*Idril sits up, partial recovered from her ordeal and looks dubiously at the vial Wonks gave her*

Hmm...

*opening the bottle, a foul smell fills the room. Should she trust Wonks? She hardly knows her...., but she has been very kind. She lifts the bottle and after taking a deep breath, drinks the vile smelling liquid*

Hmm.. tastes like Ribena with a bit of something else.

*she lies back and waits for the mixture to take effect,........and waits......and waits*

Maybe you don't feel any difference.

*She shrugs her slim shoulders and heads downstairs to test the 'courage'*

*She confidently opens the door and steps into the room. There were a couple of people in the room, but no Izzy. Idril was feeling remarkedly calm inlight of the fact she may see a giant spider any minute. Her book was still lying face down on the table she had sat at the day before. She took her seat and waits for Wonks.........and Izzy.

[Wonko The Sane]

Wonks returns from outdoors and searcing for Tookish.

"I can't find her anywhere!" she exclaims. She lets out a sigh and then shrugs. As she walks in the door Izzy comes bounding in behind her.

Legoman laughs and points. "Maybe that's why! There's no way Tookish would come out of hiding with Izzy following you around."

Wonks throws her head back and laughs as she bends down to scratch Izzy behind the ears. As she stands she sees Idril back at her customary table. She raises an eyebrow in question, waiting for some signal from Idril that it's alright for her and Izzy to approach.

[Idril]

*Idril sees Wonks and Izzy and waits for the panic to take over, but nothing happens and exclaims*

Wow! That stuff you gave me is amazing! I don't feel any panic or fear of Izzy. I can't believe it - I've been scared of spiders for ever.

*she signals for Wonks to come over and bring Izzy*

*Wonks approaches with excited Izzy bouncing up and down. Warily Idril lifts her hand and scratched Izzy's chin*

Amazing
*Idril mutters. After a moment she then smile at Wonks and thanks her enthuisatically*

[Wonko The Sane]

Wonks grins proudly.

"I'm so pleased it worked!! Now you can play with Izzy and never be afraid!! He's really sweet. I'm glad you can be friends."

Wonks pats Izzy's back.

"Now if only I could find Tooksih..."

Hehe.

I had a spider toy when I was younger. It was a rubber spider and I put a string on it and I played on the stair landing at my grandma's house. I'd set it on the bottom step and then pull on the string and have it dance and stuff trying to scare people.

That spider was named Izzy too. :) Hehe. I wonder why...

[Frodorocks]

I had one of those, but it was on a plastic leash, and if you sqeezed the handle, it would jump. I had good fun with that, scaring people.:D

[legoman]

Yea, I had a plastic one once, I threw it onto my sisters shoulder, she screamed, I got told off. I don't remember seeing it again.

haha, Tookish'll be back, she likes it in here too much...

[tookish-girl]

*suddenly all the lights in the tea-room go off. The door is lit by a single spot, a voice speaks:*

"And now, the entrance you've all been waiting for, the re-emergence of the Tookish-girl"

*thunder peels outside, lightnings cracks open the skies*

"After her one week trip around the sprawling metropolis that is Hull, England, she returns"

*lightning strikes the barracks, everyone screams, the spotlight goes out and the voice stops working*

Tookish walks in soaked from the rain (well if it's thundering and lightning, it's raining too!)

"Sorry, everyone, couldn't be bothered to stand out there waiting for my introduction, I just want a cup of cocoa to warm me up"

*She wanders in warming her hands,*

"I really wanted to do a big entrance, I imported a troop of Cornish dwarfs to head bang to Queen music and everything. h well, never mind what have I missed?"

*She perches on a stool, looks about her sees the giant spider, falls backwards off the stool and gets knocked out cold*

[Wolfshead]

*Slowly emerges from behind a large ribena barrel*

Well, as far as I can tell life goes on much has it has done this past age. No, that's some film with a wizard and a short guy with busy hair :rolleyes:

Not a lot, really, in answer to your question. Or not that I've noticed, at any rate.

[Idril]

*Idril jumps up as Tookish-Girl falls of her stool and rushes over, shooing Izzy away.*

She gently lifts Took's head of the floor resting it on her lap and she gently fans her clammy head with her big book - trying desperately not to drop it on her head.*

*Tookish-Girl, stirs and turns to look for the spider*
"He's not here, let me help you up. I'm not sure where Wonks is but I'm sure she'll not mind us using her room upstairs."

*Idril glares at CraigSmith as he seemed to be ignoring them and rambling about something or the other*

*Idril helps Tookish-Girl up and then upstairs.*
"Lie down, I'll go look for Wonks, she has this miracle cure for Arachnaphobia."

*Idril pats Tookish-Girl's hand reassuringly an then hurries out of the room to look for Wonks*

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks emerges from behind the bar and pulls another vial of "Liquid Courage" from her magic pockets. She mounts the stairs and ascends to Tookish's room. She enters, kneels by her bedside and hands her the vial.*

"Here, you take this. It will cure your fears. You'll be ready to conquer anything. Drink it. We'll wait downstairs."

*Wonks takes Idril by the sleeve and leads her out of the room, leaving Tookish to rest.*

[Frodorocks]

Wow, did Izzy scare evryone away?;)

[Idril]

Well Wonks and I were waiting for Tookish to find her courage to face Izzy. Maybe we should check to see if she has climbed out the upstairs window?:(

[legoman]

And I passed out when Izzy told me that she just ate tookish and thats why she's gone missing.

I thought she was vegetarian.

[tookish-girl]

*Tookish crawls out of the smoking remains the the ginat spider*

My word! it's a good job i took that stick of dynamite that looked like a tasty carrot when she ate me wasn't it?

*She starts picking bits of spider out of her hair and decides, in the absense of Wonko to take over control of the bar for a while.*

You know what this place is missing? Bar meals!

*Tookish cleans up the mess on the floor and roasts Izzy's carcuss for seveal hours in a large pot, adds some sweet red tomatoes and a bit of oregano in there, and some cheese*

I think I've trod in some Brie!

*And then serves with roast potatoes and some peas and carrots and onion gravy*

"MMmmmmmmmnnn, delicous!" says legoman, well he'd rather die than eat quorn.

[legoman]

hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

*laughs martin whilst also crying at the loss of his best friend...*

'How could you do that to Izzy, she was my soul mate. now I have nothing. All I've got is spider steak. She was the only one who truly appriciated me around here, and you killed her.'

I have written her a song:

'Webs of silent stickyness
Fangs that beauties possess.
Thoughts of eightlegged lovliness
And your mutated furry chest.

Izzy you were my love,
I thought of you I burn,
I shall miss you evermore,
in hope of a wanted return.

Carnivorous and deadly,
you stalk your prey at night,
you had starved of meat for humans needs,
when tookish lept into your sight,
her muscles young and tender,
to devour was only fair,
you young and lifeless arachnid,
no longer in your lair.


*legoman breaks down and cries*

[tookish-girl]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

You did not just write that now! That's some other song that you nicked the lyrics to or something! That's crazy!

*Tookish gently calms her old bereaved friend with a can of pepsi max and some more spider steak, which is actually pretty damn tasty and then fetches a box of tissues from behind the bar*

[legoman]

huh? why couldn't I write that just now, I did!

anyway, i'm not sure I want your pepsi max *takes pepsi max* you killed her!

*he cries more*

[tookish-girl]

I know, but it was self defence, I mean if there wasn't that stick of dynamite lying around, goodness knows what might have happened to poor little me.

*Tookish cries*

*and recovers*

So anywhere would you like some Spider cheesecake for pudding?

p.s. Really was a marvellous lament to Izzy you know, you should be in a band.

[legoman]

'I could tell you what would have happened, she explained it too me once over a roast horse...'

*cries some more* - waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!
*what, thats how I cry!!!*

'stop eating Izzy!!!!!! Jeez, she wasn't a walrus you know!'


p.s. thanks, but a band, I dunno, these musicians are so fickle.

[Idril]

*Idril looks on horrified as Tookish crawls out of the remnants of the huge spider* Wonks special liquid may have cured her fear of spiders, but did nothing to lessen the awful sight before her*

*She is so mortified, she cannot move, she glances at Legoman, who is singing a lament to Izzy*

(in actualy fact I was in such hysterics as I read this - that was so funny - except the cooking and eating of Izzy (yuck)) Legoman, did you really just make up the song - it was very good - I'm impressed:))

*After awhile, Idril stands up and escapes the tea room before Tookish can offer her some spider steak or cheesecake*

*she mutters to herself* "what will Wonks say? Oh dear, I better go and find her"

[Frodorocks]

*Is sorry for poor legoman.*:( I have a feeling Wonks won't be too happy. But what could we do, if Tookish hadn't had a handy dynamite? Let her be digested? (Yes, nice song lego.:) )

[legoman]

*Its still weeping*

'It's just when you feel so strongly about something or someone, the lyrics just flow...'

*goes back to crying*

*see's one of Izzy's many eyeballs roll under his stool*

'I can't take it annymore!'
*he runs outside for some air*

[tookish-girl]

Tookish feels sorry for her old friend so decides to get the vacuum cleaner out to hoover up all the spider eyeballs that have rolled under people's bar stools.

She also picks up the one long hairy spider leg that is left and considers hanging it up on the wall as a memorial but thinks that maybe a park bench would be more appropriate.

Tookish thinks that she will try to cheer everyone up by putting the radio on, but "Don't let the Sun go down on me" by Elton John is playing so she quickly truns it back off

[Wonko The Sane]

*Wonks walks back into the bar room, thinking she's just left Tookish to lie down upstairs, and is completely floored to see Izzy in pieces on the floor and in the pot, and Tookish merrily stirring the brew. She does a double take, her jaw drops and she just sort of stares for a while dumbfounded.

Shocked she takes a seat next to Legoman, pulls out her guitar and starts playing Izzy's Song which she magically knows the music for as Legoman sings a reprise.*

*Sigh*...I'll miss Izzy. But it's better her than Tookish.

[legoman]

'thats your opinion' legoman retorts.
*people start to realise he is not always as friendly as he has been in the past, and they begin to wonder whether Izzy was the only thing keeping the overpowering rage, which has been building up over the years, inside him.*

'I guess I'll be OK'
*People realise they were right originally*

*legoman takes one of Izzy's eyeballs and puts it inside his locket which he has hanging round his neck, which rather bizarrely he had never noticed before. It squishes a bit and begins to ooze slightly, but after a bit of a struggle he manages to get it inside, he wipes his goo stained hands on wonko's back and goes to put Elton John back on the radio*

'It just might take a while...'

[Wonko The Sane]

*shudders as Legoman smears goo on her, and then goes and finds Snaga and shimmies up next to him, standing in front of him and moving her back against his chest to get the goo off.*

I could just change my shirt, but this is so much more fun! :D

*looks at Legoman with suddenly renewed fear.*

Man...you ARE frightening. *remembers the day so long ago when they met at a train station and Wonko nearly cried with fear.*

[legoman]

yeah, well I suppose I do have this rather menacing side to me.

All must quake in dread of me.

but while they are, could I get another ribena?

[tookish-girl]

Tookish finishes her vacuuming and hopes that legoman has cooled down since his rage. She changes the radio station and puts on one of those cds that have whale noises on that are supposed to be relaxing. Wonko raises an eyebrow as it's producing some strange looks from the rest of the customers.

Tookish quickly puts the radio back on and sets to carving some form of permanant memorial into the wall for Izzy.

[legoman]

hehe, cheers took, though there will always be my lament on my website if anyone ever needs to hear/read those words of love again.

*you know I really need to record that for my album... any suggestions on an instrument fo the backing?*

see, my rage has lessened, I'll tell you what though, it took (hehe took...) a lot of effort. I'm gonna need a ribena to replenish myself.

oooh, does the jukebox have OK computer? I wanna listen to paranoid android...

*wanders over to the jukebox*

[Wolfshead]

Speaking of Ribena - anyone know if they have it in America? Not really important, as such, but, y'know... yeah

[Gary Gamgee]

Gary comes in to the tea room. 'Why have I never been here?' he thinks. Then sits down. 'I'm Brittish can i have a cup tea please? or an Irn Bru? if u have one'

[Wolfshead]

Only if you spell British correctly :p

Don't know if you can get Ribena in America, but you can get it in Middle Earth and that's what counts!

Tookish decides to help herself to a Ribena to replinish herself after her hard work at carving in the wall:

Izzy's Lament:

"Izzy was a spider
Tookish got inside her
So Izzy had to die-a


Rest in Peace"




I just made that up on the spot! Good isn't it!?

[Wolfshead]

Yeah, who cares if the Yanks have Ribena? *Grabs a Ribena Toothkind and drinks it gratefully*

*breezes through the door just as kettle comes to the boil*

good evening, all!

*laces a cup of tea with rum and lounges in armchair and wonders to self, "hmm... do they actually drink Um-Bongo in the Congo?"*

[Wolfshead]

I believe they do. I was there on a field trip there the other day (for maths) and I saw several primates hanging from trees drinking from cartons, so, yes, I guess so. It was either that or Ribena.

Ha I knew it! Maybe we can bribe the secret recipe from them.. (forgive me a cruel chuckle.. mua-haha!) Actually one on my new-found friends is in the TA and might get posted there as a peace keeper.. fingers crossed.

MY my things are quiet! video time.

*fires up the big screen with Peter Jackson's 'Braindead'*

Speaking of Ribena - anyone know if they have it in America? Not really important, as such, but, y'know... yeah

I've never seen it here. :) And trust me I've looked.

We don't have many black currant flavoured things at ALL. Mostly because we have blueberry and grape flavoured things that take its place. Black currants aren't big in America...Sadly.


Legsieman, I LOVE your Izzy song. :) My dead spider is honoured.
