Quiet room...

[dulwichmum]

Darling Friend,

Yes please! Can I offer you a Minstrel? I just purchased 2 enormous bags of them for just ?2 in Tesco on Croxted Road. I desserve a treat...

Would you like some coffee with that?

[KalamityKel]

a herbal tea would b nicer :) or we could just move on to the stronger stuff...

[dulwichmum]

Does anyone else like dipping chocolate (preferably Easter egg) in peppermint tea - or is that just me?

[KalamityKel]

:O DM u must have been reading my mind... I was having a very similar thought earlier... for future reference tho maltesers dont work very well with it :-S

[KalamityKel]

is there a dark quiet place in here nice enuff for someone to curl up and die?

[Jah Lush]

No rotting corpses in here please. Terrible stink. Although there is a lovely open fire in the middle of the room if you want to cremate yourself. Saves us the trouble.

*Reaches for large balloon glass and pours self enormous brandy, takes a seat in large armchair by the fire and tosses a few logs on to get a good fire burning.*

[Michael Palaeologus]

I think Dulwichmum dipped in chocolate sounds divine ;-)

*Edit for shite speeling

[Jah Lush]

The proof is in the pudding Michael.

[KalamityKel]

:-|

[Jah Lush]

*Hmmm...that's not saying much. Pours another balloon glass of brandy and offers it to KK. I think you might need this love. Offers one to MP and fills own glass almost to the brim, takes enormous slug and slumps back into lovely comfy armchair.

[KalamityKel]

ooooh no... im turning a bit green... someone grab hold of me while I wrestle wiv me tummy (6) "behave gooddammit!"

[Michael Palaeologus]

How about DM dipped in a chocolate and brandy sauce? Who wants a portion?

Plenty to go round.

[Jah Lush]

Pours large port and brandy into balloon glass and profers it to KK. This really will settle your stomach if your feeling a bit Tom Dick. You must listen to Doctor Lush, it's for your own good I can assure you. Now get it down your Gregory and you'll be right as ninepence soon enough.

[KalamityKel]

Well if you insist... I will gladly accept such advice :))

[SeanMacGabhann]

* aghast at DM's bad news *

Hope you are on the way to remedying the situation gorgeous

* still thinks Brendan didn't get enough credit for a magnificent Big Lebowski quote last week *

[KalamityKel]

That was sooooooo last week! :p

[Jah Lush]

and the Withnail & I quotes. Yes, it must have been bad as all my lovely Chateau Marguax '61 has gone. Oh well there's always the '47. Good job I've hidden that though. Save for a rainy day. Oh shit! is it raining? All this brandy has give me a bit of a wobbly on. Must sit back down in my armchair. Grabs decanter pours another.

[Brendan]

*Wonders if Jah will notice that the ?47 shat toe Margo (innit) has all been drunk and the bottles refilled with Lambrini dyed red with Ribena Syrup.*

*Straps on stab-proof vest just incase*

[KalamityKel]

*suggests a bullet proof vest being a better option*

[Jah Lush]

You're gonna need more than a bloody stab proof vest Brendan you utter bounder. *Reaches for blunderbus and fires in general direction of South African Beach Boy fan (urgh!!)* Damn it man you've mad me spill my brandy. This is unforgiveable. Come here you rotter!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Tweasers anybody? Look at my buttocks, full of buckshot.

NURSE! NURSE!

[Brendan]

Oh Jesus! It?s like my birthday party all over again.

*Ducks behind the pastel-pink, armor-plated chaise lounge. (delivery from Argos last week. He didn?t just make ships you know)*

Sorry Jah but you know what it?s like. You get in, your pineapple costume has been ripped in five places and the ringmaster has had it away with your ornamental banana tree. AGAIN! It is a situation that can only be solved by drowning one?s sorrows in the most expensive alcohol one can steel.

*Spies a wayward bottle of Woodford Reserve and one of dulwichmum?s discarded feather boas under the chaise lounge*

*Soaks boa in whiskey and stuffs it in the neck of the bottle. Sets it alight and lobs makeshift Kentucky Cocktail in the general direction of his aggressor.*

*Ducks back down with fingers in ears, humming Little Deuce Coupe (amazingly managing the 3 way harmonies all on his own.)*

[dulwichmum]

Darling Sean, all will be well I am sure and Michael - you know how I love a compliment. I bought myself a special outfit to cheer myself up!

[KalamityKel]

edited FOUR times?... *raises eyebrow and demands to know wot was there b4*

[Michael Palaeologus]

*Sidles up to DM - drops slacks*

"Anything you can do with this? My buckshot studded bum that is?"
